13 Best American Restaurants in Port Washington

“What a great evening! We had a group of nine, we called for reservations and were seated early. Outstanding service by Mary our wait staff! She was very attentive and a joy! Our food. The best! Members of our group tried all the Friday night offerings plus the Mahi and cauliflower mashed! Very tasty! Especially the seafood chowder which was velvety smooth and delicious!. Bonus …I had the opportunity to talk with the owners about this journey they are on! Check out this marvelous restaurant for a taste treat. Five stars!“

“The gluten free options were plentiful, delicious, and everything you want in a pub style dining experience. The food presentation was nice.
My party enjoyed a variety of items. Notably the breaded mushrooms were amazing, the Brussel sprouts crisp, and the Sgt. Pepper over fries brought the heat with the flavor!
I'm excited to enjoy the black berry and walnut crumble cheesecake and skillet brownie (both of which are gluten free) but that will have until later as the amazing meal has left no room for even a nibble of sweets. Will definitely return on any future visits to WI.“

“I visited Twisted Willow for the first time this past weekend while I was in town. Their service and food was exceptional! The inside was beautiful with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere! I would 100% recommend to anyone who is in town.“

“Was in Port Washington for a short weekend and one morning stopped in for a breakfast at the Beacon . It is part of the hotel on the ground floor . It was fairly busy for a breakfast but we were seated immediately no wait . Staff seemed a bit backed up but they did a good job and quickly took our order . Food is good . I wasn’t too hungry so a basic avocado toast with a side of fruit and coffee is all I needed . Tasted good . There is a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant/ hotel which is a plus .“

“We love coming to Pliers full circle . However I was disappointed in the waitress (Beth). We were there March 5. I was looking forward to whitefish. Apparently it's hard to get. So I had shrimp. We ordered drinks which we didn't get until our dinner. Our dinner took forever. People around us who arrived later were served before us. We'll be back but hope we get a different waitress..“

“This is a great place! The food is outstanding. The atmosphere is basic but very welcoming. The staff is out of this world...love the food and always recommend.“

“Today I hit Java Dock right at a crazy busy time of their morning, but I can’t say enough about the quick service for my coffee and my lunch! Thanks for the great service Java Dock crew…you guys rock!!!“

“When I saw the post for Thanksgiving pies, I asked for one not listed. Daily Baking Company not only accepted the challenge to make one they hadn’t made before but also made an AMAZING pie (it was cran-apple, and I’m keeping the last slice 🤣). Very grateful for the extra effort, the great customer service, and the delicious pie! I’d definitely buy this or others in the future. Highly recommend!“

“First time there. Great location, atmosphere, food and we had a wonderful sever!! Almost didn’t stay due to very rude bartender when we entered! That aside; glad we stayed.“

“This is a great casual bar & gathering place. \nThe back dining room offers a quiet area to enjoy a bite.\nWe tried the garlic cheese curds for our appetizer & they were out of this world. The coating was so light & tasty.\nFor our main choices we had cod fish tacos & shrimp tacos, both were very good.“

“hire some bartenders with a personality, who know how to engage in conversation with folks.“

“Back in March, of this year, with one day to go visiting family in Grafton, we happened upon Port Washington’s Toucan Restaurant. We wished we had discovered Toucan much sooner. Come April, we managed to stop in four times! What a pleasure! The food and custard offerings are excellent and the prices highly competitive. “Sul” is a great chef in preparing both Middle East and American taste delights. Jackie, among her other duties, is a most cordial hostess. With no disrespect intended for the other more well known custard venues in the area, Toucan and their unique custard creations, in our opinion, surpass them. And the young folks employed at the facility are really kind and helpful. Even the atmosphere is such that we noticed customers seem to enjoy chatting with strangers to the area like us. Toucan is such a great addition to our favorite Wisconsin town, Port Washington. - Sue and Jim, Smyrna, TN“

“Oh my beloved cheese kerd. You a beautiful invention of the 14th century. Thank you Ben. He really made it happen back then. Boom shackalacka. I like when they have the caviar in stock it's so yummy. Anyways I really do think Culver's is better than this place so go there instead. This establishment is still fantastic at Culver's. Culver's. Stay cheese“
