Testimonials
Larry W: “The steak was amazing. But there bread is the best bread I’ve ever had in my life. I’m not a huge fan of bread or anything but it’s delicious. It’s kind of pricey but it’s definitely worth it here. Great food and our server Ethan was amazing.”
Mark D: ” ‘When in Rome – – -‘ for us a long standing tradition is when we’re at the Bay it’s a perch or walleye sandwich at the Boat House for lunch! Hasn’t changed, still delicious, good service, (although we are weekday at the Bay people) and of course the view from the outdoor patio!”
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.
