Testimonials
Gregory F: “This turned out to be our favorite restaurant during our three day stay in Put-in-Bay. It doesn’t draw the same drinking and loud crowd that you find in almost all the other local restaurants. Probably the nicest of the restaurants in town with a wide variety of menu items. There is a covered upstairs outdoor seating area and an indoor seating area available as well as a bier garden and chocolate store. One-Stop shopping for all of your vices.”
Cheryl D: “I’ve only been to the island 3 times now, but in my short amount of experience, I can say The Goat is my favorite place to eat on the island! The Ruben cannot be beat. They serve a nice selection of drinks, my favorite is the blueberry Mojito, best I’ve ever had anywhere! The service has been great and they have nice options for sitting, outside and in. I plan on making Put-In-Bay a regular vacation spot and I will always make it to The Goat to eat!”
Heidi T: “This is my favorite restaurant on Put-in-Bay. The seating either indoors or on the covered deck is scenic and relaxing. The fish tacos and the pierogi are my favorite dishes. Of course, the soup is usually wonderful and they have many choices. The mixed drinks are amazing! The mint or basil Mojito is so fresh, getting it with crushed berries is even better. The Bloody Mary is killer. I have always been pretty impressed with their service. We usually come as a group of anywhere from 8 to 15 and they handle it very well.”
