Someone recommended this place since we needed a quick lunch for us and the kids. Honestly my husband and I love places like this because they are both family and date night friendly. Plenty of really great appetizer and food options to pick from. A plethora of drink options as well! Staff were friendly and timely. My husband and son absolutely devoured their burgers. Appreciated the fact that the patties were fresh! NOT frozen. Only feedback…Greeted on the way in but not on the way out. Tartar and coleslaw were not as delicious as I’d hoped but again the fish itself was absolutely delicious with just a squeeze of lemon! Definitely will be returning to explore the menu and drinks!

Let me start by saying, I understand this is Valentine’s Day, I do. However, this experience was terrible. When I got seated, it took almost 15 minutes to be acknowledged at all. We ordered two appetizers and two meals. Each meal came with a soup or salad. After about 25 to 30 minutes we got our entrées before the sides or the appetizers. I ordered the stuffed white fish. They made it completely backwards. (usually, your sauce is on the bottom, then the fish then it is topped with the stuffing) They rolled the stuffing in the fish and the inside was so wet that it was in edible and made me sick. Both of our green beans were barely cooked. There was no seasoning and the breading stuffing was mush. The lobster bisque tasted like shrimp milk or something. The, shrimp and crab dip had chunks of cold cream cheese in it. The drinks, however were good and so was the waitress she did the best she could. After we ate our meals, they brought out the appetizer and soup and salad. When the bill came, the price for the entrée was higher than what was on the menu and it almost seemed like they did as a courtesy by charging us what was on the menu. I don’t expect free things, but when none of the food came out at the right time and I couldn’t even eat my meal I would’ve expected something won’t be back.

Looking for a unique restaurant with a great atmosphere and amazing food? Come here! They have the best cheese curds I have ever had. You get an awesome Souvenir plastic cup, even when you order a water. The menu was wonderful, there is a lot of options. The pricing is very fair. I had the chicken tacos and they were pretty good. Next time I will try one of their protein bowls. The wait staff was all very kind and extremely attentive. You cannot beat the atmosphere! Beautiful view! You can have your dog on the patio. In fact, there were several tables that had their little dogs there. Played great music. I can’t wait to go back!

Love this place! Excellent menu, really fun drinks, great waterfront view! Thank you for letting us reserve outdoor seating!!! We come every summer when visiting Kenosha for a girls weekend and this stop is non-negotiable, absolutely a must! We walk down from the nearby hotel, so easy. Friday fish fry is top notch, sandwiches and burgers are a great standby option. Loved the new bowl, got the tuna poke! Cheese curds are great, big cubes of yummy cheese can’t be beat. Hard to pick a favorite drink, the Long Islands are so much fun. And big shout out to our waitress last night, Ella N!!!! She was a blast, we had so much fun with her, would come back and request her for sure!

We had a very pleasurable, tasty, Thanksgiving meal today. It was served buffet style with a great selection of items along with desserts and beverages. Our server, Alex; has a great personality and work ethic. The other staff were very friendly and pleasant as well. We had a chance to look at the standard menu. We think we’ll try this place for other meals.

I try to be as forgiving as possible when it comes to local businesses. My wife and I booked a reservation for 7pm on Valentine’s day, which was advertised as a Valentine’s date special. We thought it safe to assume that this was aimed at couple’s. Boy were we wrong. We were seated next to a party of at least 20. Among them was the most loud, obnoxious and inconsiderate group of girls I have ever encountered in my life. I’m talking screaming, cackling, stomping, yelling, etc. My wife and I could not hear ourselves think. I went to the bathroom at roughly the same time as they did, and it sounded like they were blowing holes through the walls of the place! Not once did a staff member ask them to quiet down or be more considerate of other guests. If it were not for this rude party of people, I’d have given a 5 star review. Our waitress was very busy but still managed to get us everything we needed in a timely manner. Was the food the best I have ever had? No. But I do not expect perfection when I eat out at local businesses. I am sad to give a 1 star review. Hopefully it encourages management to better encourage their guests to be courteous. It is a bare minimum expectation.

Husband liked his cheeseburger, but my fish fry was just meh. Fish was fine, but tarter sauce and coleslaw weren’t very good. Dinner room was VERY cold and had to eat with my jacket on. Hostess was also waiting tables, which took away from asking if food was good or if we wanted refills, until we were almost done.

I have been here a few times with my fiancé and loved their long islands and food. Went here recently and the service was horrible and the food was cold. We ate 2 bites of the appetizer. Tried to flag our server down, which took 10 minutes. We asked for the check because we never received our drinks and she charged us for the food we never got/ate. We paid and left, we will not be back.
