This place is amazing. The family and I will definitely be coming back again all the way from Chicago. The fresh cod, potatoes and sweet onions go really well together. They weren't kidding when they said the fish tasted like lobster. read more

Always a good experience. We always feel welcomed. Staff is friendly. Cash only with ATM available if needed.

Our first time having heard many good things over the years. I'll also say I have never had boiled fish as I'm more old school fish fry guy. The texture is more like lobster as many have mentioned with no fishy taste. Firm and flaky and not oily. Put a little butter on it and you might think it's not fish. I also had the ribs which are par boiled and then finished on the grill perfectly. Along with potatoes and onions and throw some rye bread and you're set. They have 3 things on the menu keeping it simple and they do it right. Small bar but they have what you need most likely. A nice patio outside though it was a little cool to watch the fish dude do his thing. A nice dinner and worthy of a return. Enjoyed it read more

OMG one bite and I was in heaven. I am a lobster lover and this did not disappoint. I thought I was eating lobster. The fish is fabulous and the potatoes, onions, cole slaw and rye bread were delicious. 30 mile drive was well worth it. We will be back and will bring our friends. read more

I'm not a big fish eater. But father in law is. He enjoyed the fish boil and the staff was very courteous. Price was very reasonable for what you get. He enjoyed his time at Fitzgeralds. read more

Visited Mach 28 - still a great place to get fish boil. Prices went up a little. Fish $15. Add Chciken Total $16. Go with ribs - $19. Food hot and plentiful! They bus your table if you have an empty plate. Coffee and tea still included. Cold today so not sitting outside. Opens at 5pm so head over! read more

This is a really unique place! The decor is vintage (which we liked) and has an older feel that is cool. The food was excellent. I'm a fish fry gal so I was worried about the "boil" part but it was delicious and absolutely worth the money. The only downers was I wouldn't say it's necessarily kid friendly as it was a quite atmosphere, it was very difficult to get soda refills, and the chairs were very wobbly. We actually joked at the table we might fall to the ground. Little things, but overall a great experience. read more

The ribs were amazing but the fish was mediocre and could be better. The building was a great historic building with great scenery. All in all I enjoyed the restaurant but feel the food leaves me wanting for more. read more

We recently made our second trip to Fitzgerald's. We found this gem last year. My husband and I were crazy about it and could not wait to share it with our family. We returned last week with a group of seven which included four family members who were visiting from out of state. The restaurant did well to accommodate us by putting together tables and making sure it was wheelchair accessible for my 96 year old mother. To make a long story short we had a great time except for one member of the staff. The young woman handing out the food obviously did not want to be there. Despite our attempts to be friendly, she was just non-responsive; fair enough. But then one member of our party went to the table and asked for dessert and was denied because she had already had one. When my niece said she had not, the girl again refused to serve her! Really? I guess this is her way to feel important. Half the people in our party did not want the dessert which is included with the meal; she should have just given it to her. She ticked off a whole table of people for no apparent reason and it basically spoiled the feeling of good will at our table that evening. Believe it or not it just did. I guess it was because she had been so unfriendly all evening. Thank heavens the young woman serving the drinks was nice. We tipped her generously even though we realized that they probably would split the tips.... read more

Excellent dinner here - ribs, chicken, fish with butter, rye bread, amazing coleslaw, yummy red potatoes with onions, and a wonderful apple tart dessert. Will be back for sure!! read more

The most important thing to note is they are CASH only so keep that in mind. They do have an ATM on the premises if you need it. This place hosts a good old-fashioned fish boil, all you can eat, and boy do they do a fantastic job! The fish is skinless/boneless cod and they also have BBQ ribs & chicken and you can purchase either just the fish boil, fish & chicken combo or the heavenly trifecta of fish/chicken/ribs - they might have other combos as well but those are all I recall. At $14 per person for the fish boil & $18 for the trifecta of fish/chicken/ribs - AND it's AYCE, it's a steal. Each meal includes coleslaw, boiled potatoes & onions, rye bread (very soft & fresh) & butter, whatever meat option(s) you paid for and for the fish/potatoes/onions they ask if you want it with drawn butter (and who wouldn't want it with butter?!?), along with a apple slice/cake for dessert. You can also get water & coffee at no charge. If you get soft drinks there are NO free refills and if you want a cocktail you have to go to the bar to place your order & pay for the drinks (their website lists cocktail service at you table but when we were there everyone was going to the bar to order). All the food was delicious and the cod along with the drawn butter really tasted just as sweet & succulent as lobster! The BBQ ribs were very meaty and the sauce on the chicken & ribs was quite good. They have a decent amount of seating both downstairs & upstairs as well as a large covered patio and deck area outside where you can watch the action with the boiling cauldrons of deliciousness and the wood grill. The people were all quite friendly but I felt the service was a bit out of sorts on the day we visited (a Sunday afternoon) and that is why I'm not giving them 5 stars. The friends we went with said they normally have a separate cashier selling the tickets for the food but this time there was a sign on that register that said, "Tickets on sale at the bar today" - so everyone arriving was ordering their cocktails and their food tickets all from the one bartender...which really took a long time. There seemed to be plenty of employees so I'm not sure why someone wasn't running the separate register, but from the time we arrived to the time we finally got our drinks and the food tickets we had been there 20 minutes standing in the tiny area around the small bar right at the entrance and in that time quite a line had formed to get in. I guess it isn't always this way so I'm not sure what the deal was. read more

No complaints ... traditional WI fish boil with great food and adequate drink menu. Highly recommended!

Soooo, I feel like I need to set the record straight: IMO, the cod does not taste like lobster despite some of the other Yelpers comment. I can see where some folks might say it reminds them of lobster a bit, but if you are actually in the mood for lobster, this probably won't quench that need. However, the fish was still delicious! I have never had boiled fish, but I was fascinated with the process. I have always believed that the most simple menus have the most delicious food since they have less items to perfect, and this place definitely proved my theory correct. I love that the bartender was such as great conversationalist and all of the staff were super welcoming and friendly. I also enjoyed the classic historical country decor. I was most surprised by the BBQ though-I was expecting average, but my mouth still waters when I think about that sauce and the ribs falling of the bone! Also, that apple square is the absolute business-don't skip on that desert! Overall, a great meal with a homey feel :) read more

Great atmosphere, good food, and people. $14 for all you can eat fish, $16 for fish and chicken, and 18 for fish, chicken, and ribs. The bbq chicken and ribs are a bit on the sweet side but very tasty. The sides are very good as well. Really its a great place to bring some friends or family and just enjoy some quiet quality time. This is the second time i have been here in the past few years, and we always label it a success. read more

Full Disclosure: Sue Fitz and her family are friends of me and my family. That said, it's the best food going. The fish, of course, is perfect. It DOES taste like lobster. But the chicken - amazing. And the ribs are to die for. The wonderful salted black bread, I mean you just can't stop yourself from going back again and again. In the summer, it's all about the patio and the lush green grounds. In the winter, it's about cozy fireplace, cozy bar, twinkling lights. Sue and her family go out of their way to make sure YOU feel like you are a part of their family as well. An outstanding experience, all the way around. I wish they would magically clone themselves and open one here in Los Angeles! read more

I don't like fish, but I love the fish here! We sat outside by the kettles for the fish boil and watched them cook. This is a Door County style fish boil. They offer three options: fish, fish and chicken or fish, chicken and ribs. The food is served buffet style. You walk up to the staff member and give them your ticket, they then load your plate with your choice of protein(s), cole slaw, potatoes and onions (and melted butter over the top, if desired). There is also some awesome bread and butter as a side. Each person gets one pre-sliced dessert. The apple slice is super yummy!! This is a cash only establishment, but they do have an ATM on sight should you lack the necessary paper funds. The meals are $14 and $15, the ribs will cost you a little more. What a great mom and pop business. Stop by and taste some awesome food in a lovely old house. read more

The best. Love this fish boil. Loved during covid how they had the drive thru fish boil. Always quality and great.

This place was awesome! Totally deserves its 5 star rating. Fish, chicken and ribs all fabulous. We drove there for dinner while staying at the Grand Geneva Resort. Will for sure visit again in the future. CASH ONLY. read more

This was one amazing spot!! Food, hospitality, and atmosphere was EVERYTHING!!! I will definitely go back. Thanks so much!

Great fish, good chicken and the wife loved the ribs. The sides of cole slaw and potato with onion were a perfect accompaniment along with their locally baked bread. Top it off with an apple slice for dessert and you have a great meal. Friendly service too. read more

Fantastic food with limited menu (all-you-can-eat fish boil, grilled chicken and ribs only) which just means they do what they do EXTREMELY well. Everything was fresh and delicious, the house was beautiful, and the prices extremely fair for the quality and service. I know we'll be back, often. And yes, (as others have warned) it is cash only. read more

Bring Cash Only! Boy is it Awesome!!!!! All you can eat and its all Great!!! I get the fish , BBq Chicken , and BBQ ribs Delicious!!! I live 7 minutes away from here!! read more

My husband and boys love this "Door County Style Fish Boil"! AND it is all you can eat, which honestly they never make it past their first plate. On the other hand, I do not eat fish - conveniently they serve ribs and chicken as well - along with delicious sides and a dessert. A very casual place, in an interesting historic home. Well worth your time to drive over. read more

Great food. Great service iys always the best!!! This is our weekly place to go. Love the ribs chicken and fish

Really liked the fish it was very different but good. Also really enjoyed the coleslaw. Really not big on vegetables but potatoes and onions were very good to. read more

We were really wondering how we could suppress the fish boil cravings without driving all the way to door county. Thanks to yelp lo and behold up comes Fitzgeralds...Off we go , about 1 hour and 20 minutes, nice Sunday afternoon. So glad we went. 1st time there so we kind of followed others as far as how this restaraunt works. Pay a very fair price, get ticket with choices off of the simple item menu and get in line for some great fish and or chicken or ribs. Food was fantastic. They use cod, compared to door county where they use whitefish. The show is the cooking of the meal outdoors, open fire, makes for really nice dinner experience. read more

No doubt this place should be a Wisconsin staple. Just over the boarder, to holy cow, orgasmic home style fish boil. Yes, fish boil. Ok it sounds a bit gross but when you think about it. Would you rather have fried or boiled food. It's seems heather right. Well I'm sure it is, however this might not be the place to look for slimming down your waste line. The all you can eat fish, chicken or ribs is the first tell tale sign. Up next would be the whole potatoes and onions served with ladles and ladles of melted butter. Yes. That's right butter all over your fish, potatoes and onion pearls. Seconds anyone no problem, save the ticket you get when you purchase your meal with CASH, this old fashioned gem has not changed in the 20 years I have been going there. Sure it's unique, sure it's old fashioned, it's definitely an experience. My favorite part is, my goodness the fish is good. Nothing fancy just simple ingredients performing wonderfully. You be he judge, must be ware the service is not amazing nor is the experience in getting an alcoholic drink but come on go to a bar to get a drink and go here to get down right good eatins. read more

I would call this a whole in the wall restaurant but everyone seems to know about it in the area. If they don't they need to go there pronto! This is an all you can eat fish boil for around $18. They boil the onions and potatoes in a cauldron then they boil the fish in the water they used to boil the potatoes. It tastes really good! In addition to the onions, potatoes, and fish they serve salted rye, coleslaw, and an apple dessert (its the same every night). This is what I usually order though you can get an addition to this meal by ordering "fish and chicken" or "fish, chicken and ribs". They have a fully stocked bar as well read more

This place is a hidden gem.....I've never had Cod this good.....if you like Lobster you will love it....yes u heard me right..come on by....I will be back. Potatoes and onion are on point as well read more

We have heard about this place and after taking a drive through the over crowded Lake agenda during pandemic time, we thought we could give this place a try. We had a small wait as we wanted to dine inside but they delighted us with some delicious cocktails. I had my favorite Old Fashion and was pleasantly surprised! I ended drinking two more before the evening was over. We were seated within 10 minutes and of course it was very sparse seating due to keeping everyone safe. There was absolutely no wait to getting our food and the young girl serving was so polite. The food was AMAZING! The cod resembled lobster in texture and the flavor was very good especially loaded with melted butter. The barbecued ribs and chicken were cooked perfectly. The meat just fell off the bones. I was full after one serving but couldn't help but go back for another serving of each! Even for the homemade coleslaw! After dinner they serve you up a slice of homemade pie and it's the icing on the cake. I can't complain about one thing! Such nice people a d outstanding food. We will be back many times and have already told many of our friends! Great job! read more

The best fish boil we have been to.we loved the building so much we had our wedding reception there before they opened to the public . The Victorian stilling fit perfect with English style high tea we had. Fantastic place and great old fashions at the bar . Family run read more

The owners son has taken over this place. He called the restaurant 'his problem now' to customers that were walking out. This is an all you can eat fish boil but if you go for more than 2 plates (portion sizes are tiny in the plate) the guy hassles you and tells you he is going to change the rules to a 3 plate maximum. Prices have changed twice now in the last few months. The old owners son tells you youre making him lose money if he perceives you eating too much. This is horrible as I heard him telling a few people all this. One guy told him that's what you have an all you can eat place, he should be used to this now. People wanna eat. We had a large party and we have baby twins. He hasseled us on giving the babies a apple slice. He hasseled my other son for going back for more chicken. I have been coming to this place since I was a toddler. Now we will not go back after being treated this way. This guy says stuff to customers he should never say. It's on average 17.00 a person. But don't eat even tho it's AYCE. Or just don't go. read more

Family owned and the most delicious fish in Wisconsin! They serve Icelandic cod...sweet, no bones and served with boiled potatoes and onions...and rye bread and melted butter. Their slaw is perfect and dessert is a nice apple slice. It is a buffet, all you can eat ... and cash only. Tina makes the best lemon drop martini. No reservations. They do also grill chicken, and ribs on Saturday night. But the fish is the star. read more

Unfortunately average fish drown in butter .Over priced if you are not a professional all you can eat competitor

Been going here once in a while since childhood. Just an awesome place to get a nice fresh dinner.

My wife and I love this place!!! I hope it never changes. Can't go wrong with anything you get, fish chicken or ribs all fantastic.

Came right at the end of Sunday dinner service and was welcomed warmly. The food is excellent right down to the coleslaw, but special props to the delicious buttered fish and the sweetly sauces bbq ribs! Might induce me to come back to Wisconsin in the future! read more

What a cute little place! Complete with a history lesson from the hostess, this gem is a great place to enjoy excellent cod that REALLY does taste like lobster. Come early because this place was packed, parking was a challenge. Felt like home when we walked in. The price is a steal for the amount of food. Bring cash because it's definitely old school. Will definitely be making this a regular eatery and recommending to all my friends and family read more

Went back again. Do not know why we let so much time pass. Love the cod. The restaurant has been here a long time reflecting its popularity. The fish boil is our favorite. Delicious. Cash only. read more

We have been here a few times, every visit was top notch; casual, clean, friendly staff, reasonably priced dinners. The fish taste like lobster! You can see the fish boil out back. Great place to go with guests for a different kind of dining experience. read more
