“We stopped into the Island House Restaurant for lunch. The restaurant was interesting, good and bad. My wife's chicken sandwich was good. The french fries served with it were cooked in oil that was too cool and tasted oily. The slaw was excellent. My Mediterranean platter was supposed to have toasted pita bread, not toasted, and a little soggy. Everything else was great. The service was ok we had a multitude of people waiting on us. I would probably return if I return to Kelly's Island.“
“Graat place to pull up by boat or the road. River is quick to help secure your boat and does it with a smile! The entire bar and wait staff was friendly and attentive. The food was surprisingly good, I was expecting "tourist" food and got so much more. The menu has many gluten free options,which is very appreciated. The shrimp and scallops meal (gf) was amazing, the scallops were BIG and cooked perfectly. The chicken brushetta meal (gf) was juicy and full of flavor. The fish tacos were very fresh with large pieces of fish and great for a quick meal. The shrimp Cajun pasta was also a hit with our group, a large serving of pasta and I think 6 large shrimp. All of the meals were very generous portions.“
“Always busy when you go on the weekend. Be prepared to wait for you food if it's busy. Otherwise the food is good (try the flatbreads) and the drinks are cold. Will ALWAYS come back!Kid-friendliness: Great area for the kids to run around“
“Delicious food, a great wine and cocktail selection and a beautiful atmosphere! The Canoe Club is one of our absolute favorites and a must stop if you are in the area! We ate there last night and we were waited on by Ally, who was one of the best servers we have had! Thank you Canoe Club for always being a fantastic dining experience!“
“Crush is one of our favorite places to eat. We took our daughter and family there for a birthday party. Everything was spot on. The food was divine, the service was fabulous, and we always love chatting with Andrea, the owner. It's a gem in Sandusky and well worth the visit.“
“Was driving back to our motel and saw this place and what a find it was. Tiffany, the mixologist, was amazing and the food was outstanding. The pork belly appetizer is a definite must have if you visit this place. Will come back again when we in the area.“
“Best meal I've had in a long time!! Compliments to the chef!! Our Table ordered the ribeye, scallops, pork chop, and fillet. All cooked to perfection, and fantastic beet salad, all at a decent price. And Lynn was an EXCELLENT server, attentive, funny and made sure my birthday dinner was great. ? Will be back often !“
“Went there for the first time yesterday and there sunshine skillet was awesome as well as there cinnamon roll French toast. Atmosphere was very modern but homey. The waitress was very nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend here and will be coming back for more!“
“Stopped by this place yesterday. Quick service. The food was pretty good overall. I personally liked the Buffalo chicken roll and thought it tasted like Buffalo chicken dip. My husbands favorite was the chicken bacon ranch. I think it is pricey for what you get - 12$ a roll (2 years ago it was only 6$ per roll). Definitely worth a try especially if you are grabbing a few drinks at the paddle bar right next door.“
“Ordered last night via Doordash. Loved it. Again. Not sure if the giant joint I smoked an hour beforehand had something to do with it, but super tasty. I loved that lake erie monster pizza and the pretzel came super soft and delicious. I also had these pepperoni things that were really simple but done extremely well. A little pricey? Nah, that's on me. I tipped the driver 15 bucks. Not sure if it's worth it, but I wanted to make someone's day special. I hope it worked. The food certainly made it a nice evening home, relaxing after a long week at work. Thanks guys. ?“
“We stopped in on a whim while staying at the Hotel Kilbourne and this has become our "must stop" when in town. Millie was amazing and had our drinks and food to our table as fast as she could. She was very attentive and kept the whole place flowing. The food was so good and hit the spot just right. Thanks for having us!“
“Driven by for years and finally stopped today. Camping at East Harbor State Park on a cold March weekend and a nice lunch was in order. Got a window seat upstairs and the brush along the lagoon has been cleared so nice views. Will definitely stop again. Ran about $60 for the two of us.“
“We arrived here on a cold, wet and out of season Monday evening and were made to feel wlcome. We ate well, drank well and left having met some nice local people, without feeling out of pocket. Thank you to our bartender Alexa and her fella Troy for the company. It's a shame that we couldn't linger longer. May you always be content.“
“Cute addition to downtown offering a trendy, artistic vibe with several small food, dessert, or boutique businesses. We visited on a Thursday afternoon and several shops inside were closed. We ordered food at Derrick Jr.'s BBQ (HIGHLY recommend...yum) and while waiting for food, checked out the children's museum downstairs which is a thoughtful, fun addition for the little ones. Several interactive busy-board style interactive children's activities were mounted in the hallway leading to the museum which were free and fun to explore. We didn't do the children's museum but it looked best for the age ranges of 5/6-11/12 although I did see a pre-walking baby (maybe 9-12 months old) sitting at a baby-friendly station while a sibling explored. When our food was ready, we walked back upstairs and enjoyed our meal in the outdoor courtyard.“
“For being one of 3 food places on the island it’s not bad. The pizza was okay nothing special and we ordered twice from here( over phone for pick up) food was always ready when I got there. I did like my Italian sub….I also got us a soft pretzel with cheese and I wouldn’t get that again. 9.99$ for a regular sized pretzel and the bottom of the pretzel was hard. I also paid the extra 1$ for the mustard and I didn’t care for it.“
“Highly recommend. Their wings and fries are delicious, but my favorite was probably the GIANT hot pretzel with beer cheese. The server was really friendly and attentive, and the overall feeling while being there was awesome. If I lived closer, I feel like this would be a regular place that I would go to just spend some time.“
“Love the location across from the lake! I like the really cute, beachy, vibe outdoor seating/bar. (Like being somewhere tropical) Inside is just as cute with great food and service. Very reasonably priced! We go see our favorite bartender, Jen.....who is always a joy for us to be around. Go check it out if you haven't....it will not disappoint! We never sit at the tables, but I can tell you the waitresses are on top of it and very nice as well!“

“Off season so there was no wait. We were promptly seated with a view of the "harbor".Best perch on the island! Perfectly lightly breaded and fried to a crispy crunch but delicate inside! Portions are generous.I highly recommend Mossbacks!“
“Clean, delicious, tasty breakfast, not greasy. A new fav spot for an amazing breakfast on a leisurely morning. I had a simple and incredibly well-prepared plate of scrabled eggs, bacon and potatoes. I added a croissant which they toasted to perfection in a pan it appeared. Made myself a breakky sandwich with that - which was unmatched in the deliciousness category. Omelets and potatoes were thoroughly enjoyed by other family members. Also tried out the blueberry pancake- it was fluffy, just not super blueberry tasting- which is okay-some people may like it that way.Sign inside reads something to the effect that they do not sacrifice quality for speed, this is true. They are short on help. Only gave 3 stars for service only due to very long wait but it did not take away my enjoyment of my meal for me, as I was there to connect with family and relax. Staff was polite. My advice is to thoroughly enjoy an amazing breakfast at this classic spot WHEN and only when you can sit and enjoy your time NOT be in a hurry. Bring along a great friend or book that you want to catch up with.PS > We did NOT get cell service here on 5G phones, so don't count on that while waiting.“
“While in Marblehead for a couple nights we happened upon this local dive bar. And I say that will all due respect, that’s my kind of bar. The area has plenty of pretentious “tiki” bars for the tourists, this is clearly where the locals go for good food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. We returned for a second night and I was impressed that Liz (our bartender both nights) remember us and what we were drinking. We felt like locals. And Brian did not disappoint when it came to the wings! Absolutely amazing wings! Can’t wait to be back in the area!“
“I've been going to the Pump for years. It is my go to for lunch or dinner on the island. The staff is friendly and the food is very good. Also one of the few, if not the only, restaurant/bar on the island with a pool table, so it is a great place as a night spot too. Try the fish tacos. They're the best! And don't forget their special hot sauce for the tacos and the fries.“
