The Pier & Back Porch offers an exceptional dining experience with friendly and attentive service. Situated on Lake Wawasee, the restaurant boasts stunning views and a lovely atmosphere. The menu features a variety of delicious options, including the Wawasee Shrimp appetizer and pesto pasta dinner, with fresh vegetables and flavors. Guests can enjoy the beautiful view of the lake while dining both inside and outside, with the added charm of a Tiki bar on the pier.
Many recommend the blackened salmon grilled cheese with house chips and the Bavarian pretzel, which is considered phenomenal and a meal by itself. The restaurant also serves a range of dinners, including halibut, salmon burger, chicken sandwich, and BBQ Burger, all praised for their deliciousness. The waffle fries with sandwiches have been noted as the best ever had, and the martinis are very good. Dessert options, like the molten lava cake, leave a lasting impression. The staff is pleasant and attentive, making it a great choice for groups looking to enjoy a memorable meal by the lake.
