We have been coming for years! Food is great and so are the drinks!!! BUT the manager is running around by herself trying to serve food, tend to us at the bar and to make sure all is taken care of!!! Where is the boss?? It seems like she took care of all!!! MAYBE if she had help she would be a bit friendlier!!!! 🤔

We have eaten at The Islander in Hessel 5 or 6 times over the past 7-8 years. We love the atmosphere. The service and portions are very good too! Great experiences every time we go.

If you’re fortunate enough to visit Hessel Mi . Don’t miss the opportunity to have eats and drinks at this restaurant. The atmosphere is so fun, it’s extremely clean, staff is very efficient and we could understand why after meeting some of the managers Abby, Paula , and not sure if Mike was management as well , but he definitely seemed to orchestrate the flow through out the whole restaurant. Lastly, the food is very good!!! .. for lunch we had whitefish tacos that were absolutely delicious in the evening we had bang bang shrimp and whitefish/ perch fish fry, also very good ! We have been going to Hessel for many years and for a long time we didn’t go back to this restaurant because it wasn’t that good , so Hats off to the management and crew!!!!

If I could I’d give this place 10 stars!!! Love the uniqueness of it, very kind & friendly staff & the food!? IT WAS DIVINE!!! Best burger we ever had and the perch & chips were real good as well. You guys are doing awesome! Keep it up! Highly recommend going to the Islander bar if you’re in the area. Otherwise you’re missing out.

We stopped in for some dinner here. The food was great and the portion sizes are generous. We did have to wait for a few for our order to be taken but we also stopped in on a major holiday weekend, so they were pretty busy. Once our order was in all our food came out quickly. All in all a great place, great service and great food.
A client of mine had given me a gift card to use at the islander bar. My bf and I went there last Saturday. The area just gorgeous with little shops the marina. The water. The perch dinners were really good and the margaritas too! Had an awesome time.

It was love at first sight for me. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I had the whitefish sandwich and I will say that is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Jen the bartender was absolutely fantastic and a really sweet person ☺️☺️☺️ She's on top of her business and my drink never went empty. I can't wait to pass back through and stop here again. You did a great job on the decor. A lot of cool retro stuff on the walls and 22 ounce mugs. You're the best and see you soon ❤️

We have visited here 2 times within the last month. First time came in at 8:40. There was a singer that night. Waitress finally came over at 9:05. We stated we wanted to order food. She said sorry kitchen closes at 9. We explained that that we had been there for over 25 minutes. She went and asked cook and we were able to order wings. Second time there (2 weeks later) at about 7 pm, we walked in and sat down. Waitress was taking an order at the table next to us. She walked by and went to put in their order. Fast forward 15 minutes later and she never returned to take our order. Then, 2 couples that she apparently knew walked in and she seated them and took their order. We walked out. This place has horrible service!!
