22 Best American Restaurants near Fish Creek

“We love the White Gull Inn! The restaurant has been one of our favorite places for 50+ years! We’ve also enjoyed staying there.“

“Loved this place so much on our long weekend that we retuned multiple times! Bloody Mary’s and Hangover Noodles are so good! The staff is awesome as well 🧡

Also going to add that (as an industry person and human being myself), I support all of the responses from the owner to the negative reviews. They clearly state their policies up front. If it’s not for you, go elsewhere and miss out.“

“We tried the bone marrow and tuna appetizers. We moved on to crab cakes with lemon aioli and ribeye for our dinners. Thank you to the staff, chef and bartender (I wish we had asked his name). We had a wonderful, peaceful meal here to celebrate our anniversary. The bartender introduced my husband to a new Bourbon and even gave us spot on advice on where to purchase a bottle. Top shelf liquor options galore! The food was amazing! 5 stars and we will visit again!“

“What a great little break on our drive up and TK was an amazing host 😀“

“We were on the trolley and stop here for lunch. Service was outstanding and food was excellent! I even got a bandage for my thumb! Thx again!“

“The food was wonderful. You get plenty of food for the price that's for sure. Our waitress was Debbie and she is so wonderful. We will definitely be coming back and definitely be asking for Debbie.“

“I've been there a few times, everything has been wonderful. Turkey sandwich was delicious, and the "adult" grilled cheese was amazing. I was a bit skeptical about the fig jam, but wow, it was great. Also, the music playlist that is in the background just happened to hit one favorite after another. Go there. Everyone's super welcoming and the service is efficient but not hovering.“

“My husband and I went to Burton’s on the Green for the first time last night! We have been coming to Door County for 50 years and have eaten in many restaurants. Burton’s on the Green is a must go to restaurant! We love to sit at that bar, talk with the bartenders and other guests and enjoy a drink and meal. Our drinks were great and the food was fabulous! We had patty melts ( best we have ever had) great salads, sweet potato fries and their homemade kettle chips. After dinner I talked to the executive chef and bartenders and told them what a great experience and delicious food we had. Their dining room looked very nice too . We will be back!“

“We tried to eat WT in Fish Creek but the wait was long, ended up taking a carry out and beer to the park, we weren't sure what to expect, place looked lovely, bar outside was great especially the bartender from St. Charles ( hey girl! we made it back to Chicago and possibly see You this Fall! ) ... pizza was TO DIE FOR!!! We got the FUN-GUY and wow wow wow, great job guys😍 we'll be back!“

“There are several Italian restaurants in Door County. And yet, once again, there I was...in the land of whitefish and walleye. Eating pasta from my very favorite place to eat pasta. I swear these people have an Italian chef being held hostage in a cooler full of perch....Creating absolutely insane pasta dishes. Like the current special which involves Green goddess sauce with pistachio and I'm pretty sure... fairy dust. Oh, and have I mentioned the cocktail creations? My latest was made with gin infused with baobob. (Oh ... and the seafood is awesome too)“

“Sunday, August 31st was visiting Door County, with a stay in Sturgeon Bay. After trying to find breakfast at other venues, we happened upon The Log Den, to which we found the BEST part of our whole trip! We were welcomed at the door and immediately seated, having a toddler with, was wonderful! They had an AMAZING brunch buffet, and the service we had was top notch! I dont know how we have missed this place before, but will be our go to from now on, and we highly recommend you visit!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This golf course is a gem, and not just for golfers! Their pub serves some of the best food in the area, and the cod fish fry is hands-down the BEST in Door County. The service is always friendly and attentive, and Kevin, the owner, truly cares about providing a great experience to his guests - it’s evident by the constant upgrades he’s making to the pub and grounds. It’s the kind of place you want to tell everyone about… but also secretly keep to yourself. A true best-kept secret in the area!“

“Love the food, the environment and Alex and Nick made our visit so much fun!! We came back 3 times in our 4 day stay!!“

“food, atmosphere, staff are all incredible“

“Great atmosphere and good food! Would definitely recommend!!“

“I just want to start by saying our waitress was SO great, helpful & friendly! I'm sad we didn't get her name to add to the review (visited 9/13/24 around 7pm). The food was delicious. Charcuterie board was tasty with the cherry chutney 👌 & the seafood Alfredo was 10/10 sooooo good“

“This place was so amazing!! My husband and I stopped Wednesday night for a drink. The best old fashioned I’ve had. It was so good I had to go back for another. We were staying a few doors down and decided to eat here on our last night in town last night. I ordered the shrimp pasta and my husband got the steak. Both of ours meals were amazing!! We also got the crab Rangoon dip and wow!!! 🤩 10/10. Can’t forget the best dessert ever. We got the creme brûlée mango 🥭 flavor and that was amazing!! The staff is the best! We had a great time chatting with everyone. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! We definitely plan to return when we get back that way!“

“Excellent food. We loved the French Onion Soup, Ribeye, Fries and the incredible desserts. Most of all, we loved Carlton. He took great care of us and made it fun. Megan was super helpful as well. Great experience.“

“We can’t recommend Northern Grill & Pub enough! They were very accommodating with our last-minute request to provide late-night pizza for our wedding. Delivery was an added bonus that made everything so much easier for us. We loved having pizza to enjoy as we partied the night away! It was the perfect late-night snack and such a hit with everyone.

A special shout-out to Lena, who was wonderful to work with throughout the process. She was prompt with her responses, genuinely kind, and incredibly accommodating. We really appreciated her willingness to work with us on short notice and help make this part of our wedding day seamless.

Thank you to the entire Northern Grill & Pub team for helping make our wedding night even more memorable! If you’re looking for great food and a team that genuinely cares about their customers, we highly recommend them!“

“We were looking for a place to eat on a Tuesday evening and we picked an excellent place, Sister Bay Bowl! Our entire crew loved everything we ordered! There were a variety of kids menu options, the blackened salmon was mouth-watering good, ribeyes were cooked and seasoned to perfection, and the Tuesday night Perch was plentiful and delicious! Excellent service and amazing meal mean we will be back on our next DC visit.“

“Sara who answered the phone to take our reservation was so friendly, helpful and so sweet! We ate inside and it was so good. We had the salmon and steak and both were amazing! The bread was so good as well as the side salad. It was our 1st time trying LURE and it was 10/10 and we will be back!! Can’t wait to try everything on the menu as it looked top notch… keep doing an amazing job LURE! Even with it being such a busy weekend- service was quick and top notch!!“
