Testimonials
Kathleen C: “I really enjoyed eating here. My whole family and when the burgers came out they smelled amazing. They were cooked medium rare and they were perfect. Also had a perch dinner with perogies. You wouldn’t think it was a lot to eat, but I was stuffed and couldn’t finish. The dinner salad was a good size as well. They were very polite and gave us to-go styrofoam cups for our drinks. The food came out extremely fast too. I would definitely come back here. It was extremely clean and they had a bathroom that was a single person bathroom so there was lots of privacy. Best part was we could get out of the heat and bad storm approaching and into the air conditioning. Prices were also very reasonable”
Nathan B: “I’ve noticed a trend while writing reviews for my recent trip to Put-in-Bay. Every server we had was great. And the server here was no exception. We came in for a drink to get out of the rain and also had some tasty carrot cake (made from scratch).”
Sam G: “Came to Mossbacks while in town for a bachelor party with a large group of guys and they were able to accommodate our group. I picked Mossbacks because I don’t live in Ohio anymore and I really wanted to eat food from back home. I went with the perch and pierogies and was very happy! Both were cooked perfectly and hit the spot for back home cooking! The service was very good, especially considering we had such a large group. I would recommend Mossbacks and would return the next time I am in Put In Bay.”
Scott M: “Delicious food and on the spot service. This was my favorite meal during my summer trip to Put-in-Bay. I’ve never had perch and I am not normally a big fan of freshwater fish, but Mossbacks served up a delicious fresh Lake Erie Perch served with potato and cheese pierogies. Apparently these two are their specialties and they absolutely did not disappoint. We got in a little late for dinner and were seated immediately. Our server was at the ready every time we needed her. Everything I had was tasty. I cannot say enough good things about this place. I would definitely come back again.”
