Went on a cold rainy day. The food was fantastic. The Whitefish bites are amazing. All of the staff were super cool answering our touristy questions. Will definitely return!

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!!

If you’re passing through Hessel, The Islander Bar is a must-visit! This spot has a unique charm with incredible antiques that make for a fascinating atmosphere—like dining in the ultimate man cave! The menu offers classic bar food that hits the spot, and the service is friendly and attentive. Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a casual hangout, this place delivers. Don’t miss out if you’re in the area!

Super cute up north bar. Great fresh not frozen burgers and many beer choices. Excellent service. We had a limited menu due to the Salmon fishing contest but there were still many choices. I didn’t get our waitress’s name but she was super nice. Highly recommend

Thoroughly enjoyed my West Entrance salad last night and our server, Paula, was excellent.
Food was OK but the service was not. Server gave us menus and drinks then ignored us for a while. Finally took our order then ignored us until the food came. Pretty bad when everyone at the table has an empty drink and it wasn't busy by any means.

Me and my 3 friends walked in here for lunch starving, and the staff completely ignored us. No host came to help us, even with a sign on the door “please wait to be seated.” We sat down for about 10 minutes, without being seen by a waitress. We then moved closer to the main area and received some looks but still no service. We proceeded to leave, but one of my friends left her purse so we had to return. Upon arrival inside the restaurant (5 minutes later) there is 2 women seated and already being served. Worst service of my life. Do not come here if you’re under the age of 25 because you will not be respected.

Had the whitefish, was fresh and tasty! Loved the coleslaw, had a slight kick to it! The owner talked us into trying the blueberry pie! Was amazed that her mother made the blueberry pie from hand picked wild blueberries from the area, where else can you find that???? Definitely on our go to list when in the area!!!
