We love this place! It's great to sit outside and watch the boats while eating delicious food. Tried the whitefish chowder and the wedge salad this time and both were super. Key lime pie for dessert... Our server was great...Sydney I think. She was very professional and friendly. And patient, especially as other tables were requesting separate checks. Nothing phased her! read more

The staff was very welcoming and friendly. My son and I sat outside to enjoy the river views and even got to see kayakers paddle by while we ate. The battered foods we shared was incredibly delicious and may be the best I've ever tasted. Bravo! read more

Ate there with my parents last weekend on vacation 3 weeks ago. I had the Cajun Jalapeño Cheese Burger. Sounds good want to have it. I start to eat the inside was well done just how I like it. My stomach feels full so I got it to go and an hour later I started to get sick and threw up 3 times in the toilet at the condo. Start to realize it was food poisoning after threw my gut's up and hurting my vocals in my throat. Won't be going back there ever again. read more

Came here to buy lobster rolls to-go. They were MP ($30) each. I thought they were worth the price tag with how much lobster was piled on the roll. It was so so tasty! There are bits of onion and celery mixed with the lobster, but it adds a nice crunch and doesn't act as a "filler." read more

Went here twice on our recent vacation to Door County and both times loved our lunch! First time we opted for lobster rolls and second time for lobster Mac and cheese, wedge salads and salmon. Both times we had very nice service and sat outside and enjoyed the weather. The food is absolutely delicious and my husband said the lobster roll was his favorite meal from our vacation hands down. We will definitely return and highly recommend! ** no photos of lobster rolls since we ate them too fast lol! read more

Boathouse On the Bay - Lobster Mac and cheese (appetizer portion) - Seafood Near Me - Sister Bay, Wisconsin

Super friendly service from the hostess Katy and our server. We had a light lunch on the deck and we had an awesome lunch. We had Cherry Mules, the best and refreshing summer drink! Do indulge. We had bowls of the whitefish and shrimp/corn chowder, both first rate! We also had the fried cheese curds: a tad underwhelming and salty. Overall, 5 stars! read more

We visited this Sister Bay eatery a few weeks back and had an enjoyable time. Normally this is a hot spot for patio and open-aired seating, but it was late in the season with chilly weather, so the restaurant was buttoned up. It imagine it's extra delightful in the summer months. Giving all of the boathouse vibes for sure. You'll find allllll the seafood options on this menu, and definitely on the pricier side. From salmon and lobster mac, to ahi tuna, whitefish and shrimp. Oh and if you're a meat eater instead, fear not because there are plenty of good options there too. I went with the blackened catfish, topped with avo lime sauce and a side of veggies. Was it tasty? Yes. Was it worthy of $27? Probably not. Everyone else was pleased with their meals, our server was so sweet, and the overall atmosphere was great. Would certainly return next time we're in town to try other menu items. read more

Boathouse on the Bay is always a go-to lunch spot for our friend group when visiting Sister Bay. Not only does their menu have great food options, but the espresso martini and cucumber watermelon mojitos are amazing! I have yet to go and have someone mention not liking what they ordered. The specials when we visited was a Perch Basket which my husband thoroughly enjoyed. My friend got the Lobster Roll which was FILLED with meat. We each left full and happy! read more

Great food and service!! And it had a pretty view of the water! I recommend the chicken tenders!

Stay away. The po'boy was mainly bread. The whitefish was over fried and small. The coleslaw was good. The world famous fish chowder was all flour. I could barely find a potato much less any dish. And if that was not bad enough, everything was overpriced, and the service was slow. What a miserable experience. read more

Had the perch and lobster roll today. Both delicious! The lobster roll had so much lobster and just the right amount of mayo to let the lobster shine. Check them out! read more

Amazing views! Great service. Food menu was pretty simple for the pricing but execution was ok. Bisque was very heavy and thick everything else was ok. Beer selection was good. read more

This restaurant is one of our favorite spots for lunch or dinner in Door County! Located in Sister Bay, it's a fantastic spot to enjoy great food after a day of shopping and relaxing in the bay. The food is delicious and comes in big portions. We typically prefer the warm Connecticut lobster roll, but the chilled Maine style lobster roll was wonderful with large chunks of lobster. The lobster mac and cheese was decadent, cheesy, and also had plenty of lobster. This restaurant is great, especially for seafood lovers. The service was fast and our server was very kind and made great recommendations. Although this is a popular restaurant, we didn't have to wait long for a table. The view of the bay is an awesome added bonus! read more

Our first meal in Door County was here. I had the blacked white fish. It was good. The mashed potatoes were delicious. The green beans had zero seasoning. Bloody Mary was not good. The side car of spotted cow was better. My kiddo had a hamburger and fries. She ate half. She usually will eat an entire burger. My aunt and cousin split the rib eye. They said it was okay. My cousin had a cherry margarita and left it on the table she said it was awful. read more

Wow, this was an incredible meal! And a gorgeous view to go with it, from the top balcony. Our waitress was so nice and it made the experience extra fun since she was joking around with the table. I had a virgin Bloody Mary that was so good, I barely missed the vodka! Another drink at the table was the cherry mule, which was just raved about. For food, I split the lobster roll with Mac and cheese, and it was one of the best meals I've had in door county. We also tried the onion rings and cheese curds to start and both were just really top tier. I will be back the next time I'm in the door! read more

Yum!!! Tasty food, drinks, and friendly service. I had the lobster roll on a po boy bun instead of brioche because of dairy sensitivity but it was honestly top 2 lobster roll I've had in my life. SO fresh with minimal ingredients so the lobster shines. Everyone else at my table loved their food as well. Burger was amazing and wedge salad with sesame crusted tuna. Not to mention a beautiful view of the lake, especially at sunset. read more

This restaurant really does have the best lobster roll!! And it is worth the money. The roll is loaded with lobster and it isn't over seasoned or heavy so you really taste the lobster, real lobster! I love this place. Always a great atmosphere and service with a water view. The onions rings were standard, I would get the fries instead. If you're in the mood to treat yourself, go here. I also got a couple glasses of wine on special. I had the shrimp Bo~boy another time. Huge, loaded with perfectly fried shrimp and yummy sauce. Just delicious!! read more

Boathouse On the Bay - My picture doesn't do justice. This is the BEST lobster roll! So worth the cost! The onion ring sauce is yummy. - Seafood Near Me - Sister Bay, Wisconsin

A great little historic restaurant right across the street from the water. The menu was decent and the drink selection was alright. With a few televisions above the bar it is a decent place to stop and catch a game if you can find a seat within view. read more

We spent about $150 on the patio in less than an hour. Friends tried to join at the table next to us and were planning on getting drinks and appetizers. They were kicked out by the restaurant for not getting entrees. Will not return. Bad experience slow drinks. Just a very poor buisness decision. The table has now been empty for 20 minutes. read more

Wonderful place! Love the location, service and of course, the food. it's not inexpensive, but definitely worth it for a nice meal and a beautiful view. read more

Boathouse on the Bay is one of my favorite Sister Bay dinner spots! The peel and eat shrimp and !!! The old bay, butter and lemon seasoning and perfect with the huge shrimp. Love the cocktail sauce too- tons of horseradish. I had the lobster roll for dinner and it was overflowing with lobster! The buttery roll was so tasty and the cold lobster had just the right amount of Mayo so it was light and refreshing. The lemon on top made it so delicious! Our server was awesome accommodating for our party of 7 and made sure all of our food and drink came out on time! Super friendly and awesome pace. Loved sitting inside since it was so hot out but the balconies would have been awesome to sit at with its amazing view of the Sister Bay marina- so pretty at sunset. Always a favorite:) read more

The folks are so nice but i had to save you $30 bucks. The lobster roll is NOT worth it. Not fresh or yummy. Edible but save it for Maine & pick a local favorite. The cute little villages on the bay got me nostalgic for back east and I made a mistake. read more

This is a solid seafood spot to try in Door County right along the harbor of Sister Bay, WI. We were seated at their downstairs patio dining section that had perfect views of the water. I thought we were going to have to wait a bit since it seemed like a popular spot that day, but we were seated right away! I was on a mission to find somewhere in Wisconsin that serves quality lobster rolls (the East Coast has been rubbing their lobster rolls in our faces). I can genuinely say that Boathouse On the Bay did not disappoint! This was the highlight of our Door County trip and I'm so glad we found this hidden gem. We also ordered a basket of fried cheese curds as an appetizer because why not. Looking back, I wish we had also tried their lobster Mac n' Cheese because it looked so tasty. We will definitely be stopping by again the next time we find ourselves in the area! read more

Ordered two lobster rolls, fries and side salad for carry out. The lobster rolls were outstanding and loaded to the point of overflowing. The hostess did not provide utensils for our meal. In addition the salad dressing was omitted. Great food but the order was not checked (wasted salad since I did not have utensils or dressing). Followed up with hostess and she said her manager was out of product! read more

Just had our first meal of the season at Boathouse on the bay and the service and laid back causal ambience just leads to the experience and the view of the Bay are fantastic. We got the Lobster rolls which are pricey at $29.00 each which includes fries and coleslaw. However they are clearly the best in Door County and have big chunks of Lobster claw meat! Our server Alex was very friendly and gave great service. read more

We had a great dinner here. We showed up late after a drive from Milwaukee and got there are pins 8:35. They closed at 9 and had no issue getting us seated. The patio is dog friendly and the service was great. We all ordered the whitefish and it was excellent. Flaky and super fresh, cooked perfectly. The side dishes it came with came up flat but were fine. The whitefish chowder was outstanding. Definitely a nice spot to check out. Wish it was open later! read more
