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!“

“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.“

“I got the Ruben. They use chucks of meat not shaved. Not my favorite, but was flavorful. Also you have to ask for rye or it will come on their yellow bread. The menu doesn't let you know to ask for rye.
I wanted a French dip, but it only comes on their yellow bread.“

“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 .“

“My cousin, son and I had the pleasure of dining at Pliers Full Circle Restaurant last Saturday, July 23rd. We all ordered the prime rib special and it was just that, SPECIAL. Haven't had that good a cut of prime rib for years......... Oh, the staff was very good and attentive to our needs. Definitely will return on our next trip to Port Washington.“

“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!!!“

“The best almond croissant I’ve ever had in my life. And I’ve been all over the US.“

“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.“

“The patio bar and grill sits atop the hill off main street in Port Washington. Great place for outdoor dining on a nice day or evening.

Kind of a combination old bar with a newer add on restaurant and a very nice patio for enjoying outdoor dining.

We went for Fish fry Friday. A very good selection of fish including walleye, perch, bluegill, cod and shrimp. There is a nice combination platter and baskets as well as full dinners.

The dinners were more than enough.

We had the cheese curds and onion strings for appetizers. Both very good and made fresh. Not frozen.

We enjoyed the patio seating area. Large and comfortable.

Give this one a try. We enjoyed it!“

“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“

“came through the drive thru and was told to park and wait with a number, which is pretty normal for culvers. after waiting for a while (10-15ish mins) & seeing other cars come and go my boyfriend decided to go inside to check on the order. he found out it got lost somehow, but the guy working the counter was extremely sympathetic and kind about it. he made sure we got our order as quickly as possible and gave us a few coupons for the trouble. mistakes happen, but great customer service really does make up for it. he didn’t catch the employee’s name, but said that he was blonde— this was sun 11/3 around 6pm.“
