Caught them on the last day of the season, so a limited selection of drink/food options, but very nice people, great views from the deck, and we plan to go back next summer because it looked like it could be a blast on a more usual day... ? ?

Low-key, relaxed atmosphere. Very good service and probably some of the best pulled pork I've ever had. Glad we stopped in.

Nice view. Loved eating outdoors. Also met a nice couple talking at the bar... sounds like it's more of a local and rustic looking. food was awesome aka there pork sliders
Brian Sweet
This has a great atmosphere and a popular place to stop when in the River. The cheese curds and fried pickles were delicious.
Joshua Kelly
Great food and very friendly and helpful staff.

Food was good. I had taco salad wife had grilled chicken salad. Mine was bland and even the salsa didn't help much but I suspect it's prepared for the weakest "pallette"...... Still good though. View from the deck is nice, watching the boats come and go.

The view is nice. Nothing else was that good. Don’t get the shrimp tacos. Contrary to popular belief it is not regular shrimp with like a pico, and I don’t know some sort of nice sauce. It is deep fried shrimp with lettuce and cheese and a sauce that sort of looks like mayo, the drinks might be good. I wouldn’t know the parents said they were OK.

Fun place socializing. Lively atmosphere. Bartenders engaging and accommodating. Great margaritas! Enjoy indoors or back patio deck.Dennis Kluesner - Joyce Gibbs (author)

On their nachos the liquid cheese was all clump up in one area instead of spread of all over. It was really disappointing.
Fun loving place owner was very easy to talk with,and go down memory lane.

Great view, great food, great drinks - this place has it all! Beautiful view of the marina from outside on the deck or along the front of the bar. We have always had great wonderfully experiences with the food as well. Our favorite time to visit is mid-week. Be ready to be patient if you come in the weekends because this is a favorite place for all of the weekend boaters and seasonal campers. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for a place along the Mississippi River to have some drinks and typical bar food the Winneshiek fits the bill.

Being from out of town, we had never been in but were always curious. So Thursday we came in after reading some decent reviews on the food. Cool layout, the people were friendly enough & I really wanted to like the place but no fish dinner on the menu? I thought this was a marina ON the Mississippi River. I truly thought the waitress was kidding when she dryly said "we don't have fish". Probably should have left right then, but OK, I order the wings & the wife orders a chicken bacon wrap. Waitress brings me my wings & tells my wife she's sorry, but the cook made her a chicken sandwich by mistake & was now working on her wrap. She finally brings the wrap out & no bacon? The wife ended up eating the wrap (the waitress knocked $1.00 off of it) & I ate 2 of the most flavorless, little wings I've ever seen & just left the rest. We ended up at Eddie's Irish Pub & had some excellent food. It's a shame, because it's a cool-looking little place in a good location. It could probably really be something if they could get it together. Waitress was nice though.

My friend and I had a lunch date here shortly after noon. When we got there, the place wasn't very busy. Our drinks were brought out and our order was taken. As we sat there for over a half hour, people who came in after us was getting their food before us. It was 12:45 and still no food, so we said that we needed to take our food to go. We went inside to wait only to find out that the waitress never put our order in to the cooking staff. As the waitress was freaking out, we said that we can no longer stay for her to put our order in, so we both left hungry and dissatisfied. The scenery on the porch was great and the company I had was fantastic. The service was a solid thumbs down.
Great lunch great views!
