About The Bait Shop

Located off Calumet or Old 49, The Bait Shop is a small, charming restaurant that offers a unique dining experience. With a limited menu that changes weekly, the restaurant serves delicious dishes made with fresh ingredients. The menu features options such as salads, soups, and main courses like Wagyu steak (available by the ounce) and Mahi Mahi. The restaurant has a butcher shop on site where customers can purchase high-quality meats. The service is excellent, with friendly staff members adding to the fun atmosphere. Recent reviews highlight the outstanding service provided by the staff duo, who were praised for their friendliness and attentiveness. The salad is considered a great starter, plentiful for four people, and the portions of chicken and waffles are huge, though the chicken can be a bit bland. The Porchetta is highly recommended and described as fantastic. The filet dish was seen as a bit disappointing given its cost. The restaurant is very accommodating of dietary restrictions, especially for gluten-free needs, offering amazing flavors, big portions, and great drinks. The Salmon with Risotto and Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon received high praise, with many noting every dish exceeded expectations. The ambiance adds to the overall enjoyable experience, making The Bait Shop a memorable dining spot worth returning to.
