“The Island House staff is always awesome! Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Shout out to Erica - one of my favorite bartenders on the island. She and Joe (at the Caddy Shack) are the best!“

“Great. Ambience. Good Pizza. Excellent food truck.“

“My friend and I were out enjoying this fall day. We stopped in for a festive fall drink. An Autumn Glow and a frozen expresso martini our bartender Cat was an absolute rockstar. The food was fabulous too.“

“Best breakfast in the area. Great atmosphere and service. love it“

“I had lunch at the Goat today and not only was the food and service excellent, but the owner went out of his way to make sure our day trip ended on a high note. My bike got a flat tire and he insisted on hauling my bike and myself to the ferry. This 70 year old greatly appreciated his kindness and you can be sure we will support the Goat every time we visit the island.“

“We love coming here! Beautiful views and great food/drinks AND service. Our server was Alaina and she was sweet and wonderful :).“

“Love the vibe at Crush. Good food and great drink selection.“

“my wife and I tried Cheekz last night for the first time. We ordered two burgers and an app and everything was beyond amazing. This may be the best burger I've ever had. Here's the best part, my burger was a mistake and I was given the wrong burger. Best mistake ever and I'll get it again (inferno burger). The owner stopped by and chatted for a bit and our waitress had owned her goof, even though we were completely content; we were sent off with my original ordered burger and my wife was given a duplicate to make up for it. incredible service, staff and food! We'll definitely be back.“

“I actually love the place. Unfortunately on our last visit we ordered prime rib which was without a doubt the worst I have ever had. I would think they'd be embarrassed to serve it and to charge $25 was robbery at its finest. Very disappointing from a place I typically enjoy.“

“This is a fantastic indoor restaurant with two bars and outside dining. The patio area is beautifully designed, offering a refreshing open-air experience. The real showstopper is the incredible outdoor area featuring a gorgeous pool with an entrancing waterfall. It creates an unbelievably relaxing ambiance. Whether you're looking for a lively night out, a peaceful escape, or simply a great meal in a beautiful setting, JF Walleyes delivers on all fronts.“

“Wonderful food, friendly people, quick service. Came to Middle Bass for a quick island stop to refuel and refresh after a day of boating, and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The people who work here are very friendly. The restaurant itself is simplistic and pleasant. The food was PHENOMENAL. The cheese bread (or whatever it was called, I can't quite remember) was delicious, simply superb. The pickle pizza was also delicious, these people have the brilliance of putting ruffles chips on top as well. Simply amazing, awesome, and will return again!“

“Awesome place to go my first time been staff was super nice especially Hannah and Daniel“

“Inside the park, this is one of my favorite places to eat. The burrito bowls are outstanding. They are really tasty and full of flavor, and generous portion sizes.

While we were here, there was plenty of seating inside as well as a dining area outside. Staff was not the friendliest, which is surprising even though the rest of the park has phenomenal people.“

“When planning a small birthday celebration for our daughter the first thought of food that crossed our mind was Great Lakes Grinders. We contacted them and easily selected a tray of our favorite grinders along with our favorite pasta salad and potato salad. The day we picked everything up was a breeze! The excitement to be able to eat a tray of grinders and sides in February was over the top! Every bite was amazing! Out of town friends experienced their first taste of Great Lakes Grinders and shared their appreciation for the deliciousness! There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a grinder!“
