I am not sure what fish is supposed to be undercooked. I am positive it’s never perch and walleye!! This place needs a cook replacement!! My pretzel???? was the only thing that came out fresh hot and delicious. A pretzel I have had in the past. We ate our fries ???? cause we was starving from our long day/ drive. I am giving a review because $72 on the Great Lake of Erie sounds reasonable. Except!!! Our food was terrible like so bad we didn’t complain about it. We asked for a box and we still have a tip. Just I feel like it’s a huge disappointment! Look at the photos.
Yesterday my boyfriend and I came here to eat dinner. it was terrible from the beginning. we waited in line for 15 minutes without being acknowledged, before someone that was also in line went to a server and asked how long it’s going to take to get sat, the server said 20 minutes, after we already stood in line for 15. we waited another 10 minutes to get sat. we get to our table and ordered the Mozzarella moons, and those were good and only took 12 minutes to come out. we ordered the Steakhouse burger and the BBQ Bay burger, and both burger buns were full of grease, and were 0/10. the bacon on the bay burger was so rubbery, meaning in was in a warmer for too long. the burgers took 10 minutes after the mozzarella sticks came out. the server didn’t check on us to ask how anything tasted and she just brought the check out and then i had to tell her after sitting for 20 minutes with our burgers that i’m not paying for mine. i took 1 bite and that was it. we then asked the other server, where the manger was and she said “to be honest, i have absolutely no idea”. and that’s when we knew, this was a terrible place to come to. do not come here if you want burgers.
Jared our bartender/waiter was the best EVER! Totally thorough, attentive, and informative! He would be a fantastic manager. Place was comfortable, with a beautiful setting. It was happy hour with good tasting, well done wings. Beer was cold and cheap. Only downer was that the u-peel shrimp were definitely old/off. But again Jared apologized and took care of it!
We had an awesome lunch and happy hour here. We sat at the bar service was friendly and lunch came out quick. Ordered a pretzel and it was huge well worth the price and it was the best my husband said he has ever tasted. We came when it was cold but id love to see this place in the warm weather. Would recommend and return!
Had a recommended (from a vague description of what I had in mind) drink that turned out to be really close to what I wanted and some really good fries. Went in a second time that day.
It was the eclipse and so they were super busy but everything was nice and orderly and everyone was having a nice time. The staff were very busy but doing a great job of keeping it together.
Sorry I hate giving poor reviews however, I have to agree with Marie H review. The walleye was probably the worst cooked fish I have ever had. In The photo I posted it looked great to start with but tasted horrible undercooked and I never had a fish sandwich with bones and skin. Pulled pork and ham sandwich was also not that good. Very dry looked like it had been cooked for two days.
The appetizer and drink were decent. I should’ve stopped at that point. The place is closing down at the end of October for the season. Hopefully they can take the winner to redecorate inside and get a new cook. Good luck next year I think you need it.
The food was surprisingly good. The service was a little shakey. The bar tender made the difference when it came to ordering. I had the bbq bay burger. It was good but there was something missing. I liked the crab cakes and I would certainly get it again. But what got me the crab cakes looked like biscuits. Delicious though. The Asiago crab dip was good as well . And their giant pretzel was good. I can't recommend the bbq bay burger. It's just a burger. The Buffalo salad was okay, as well as the quesadilla. But they were just okay.
The pretzel is the best thing in the menu! Also the bay side view is an absolute vibe at sunset. I would say this place is very casual but really nice for a quick Bite and drink
