Testimonials

Sam A: “Awesome food with a large variety. Alcohol and non-alcohol beverages are available. Easy to spot from the road. It’s close to the lake and a large park on the island. It is also close to the jet express. Plenty of shopping, sightseeing, parking. There is wheelchair accessibility and parking available. Live entertainment is a plus on weekends. When on the island I highly recommended trying this place out.”

Priyanka R: “I loved this bar and there is a lot of food. We sat in an outside section adjoining the road. While there, we ordered a lot of food including seafood and I must say that everything was good. We were there on Memorial Day weekend and the drinks here are really nice. The seafood platter here is delicious. The fish was really very fresh. Highly recommend.”

Chris H: “I was there twice this summer, Pirate Weekend, and last weekend. We had the Mississippi BBQ Shrimp both times. It is awesome. I had A Shrimp Po’Boy sandwich the first time. Also awesome. This last time I had a Blackened Walleye Sandwich. Guess what- awesome. The Mrs. had a burger the first time, and a perch basket the second time. She raved about both. The Rum Runner was great, her Bloody Mary was top notch. Andy was our server. He was friendly and efficient. Great place to people watch. We’ll go back for sure.”
