We had lunch on the patio here on a HOT Saturday afternoon. If you are going to be outside - find some shade. Food was good and we found parking on the street. Nice place. read more

Great view no dogs allowed, my wife loved her fish tacos and the tartar sauce from my fried Haddock. Hash browns abit too greasy for my liking. Great service. read more

Beautiful location. But not a fan of their dog policy. We drove from Madison to have lunch on the water here. When I asked about our dog joining us for lunch on the outside deck. Got a big no! The man running the grill said two dogs had a fight, because of that , no dogs allowed anywhere on the property. I get it, it's there bar, but that sure seems like a overreacting to me of one bad instance. Our dog had to stay in the car on a very hot day as we quickly eat and leave. read more

Went there in September. Wife ordered a salad which was supposed to have pecans, feta cheese and assorted greens. It came with no cheese, one kind of lettuce and no pecans. Sent it back and they put some feta on the salad and brought it back. They should have started over. Got the bill and paid with credit card. They charged me $1.40 for using my credit card. This place has really gone down hill. I don't recommend this restaurant. read more

Great food and great service with an outstanding view of the lake! My grandsons ate two orders of cheese curds they were so good.

We were there with a group of friends sitting outside and the owner asked us to leave because we had a dog with us. He told us he does not allow dogs and asked us to leave-so beware my friends with PTSD or Vets with support animal - you're not WELCOME read more

Great friendly service and a lovely spot. Really enjoyed the food. Had vegetable wrap and fantastic pretzel.

Fabulous New Years Eve carry out dinner special. Everyone is delicious and prepared perfectly. read more

This place isn't the five star restaurant it used to be but still ok. If you can find a parking spot. We were here on a Sunday at around six and there was parking and there seemed to be enough waitstaff. Our server was fine but the food and drinks came out slow. It wasn't that busy so who knows why? They were out of the "famous " haddock cakes so I got the fried chicken. It was a full halve a chicken in three pieces that were so heavily battered that it looked like a puff pastry. Really weird looking but once the breading was off it was ok. Not great but ok. It came with an ear of corn that must have been previously frozen because the texture was mushy and the flavor kind of musty tasting. Why do places serve that, especially when it's sweetcorn season in this area now? Most of my party of four were not too impressed with the food but ate what they could and grumbled about it. It was still nice being on the bay on this summer day which is the best part of Fitz's. read more

Great place for lunch while in Wisconsin. Great food, friendly staff, views of Lake Wisconsin. I highly recommend the patty melt and onion rings. Have a cup of black bean soup before the burger and you have one heck of a meal, all at reasonable cost. They have a nice bar, of course Packer (not Bears) game specials. You can have your old fashions either way Bourbon or Brandy. read more

Fitz's is great. Always a stop for the fried fish special when we're in the area. Love the atmosphere. .

A weekend ago, my friend and I decided to go out to dinner at Fitz's On The Lake as it seemed like a great place to have an evening dinner on Lake Wisconsin. My friend and I decided to order a side salad and a New York Strip steak and split the steak order. We are not big eaters and this is what we normally do. Our meal arrived and everything looked good. That is until we started to split the steak. Upon doing the splitting of the steak, it looked a little gristly to begin with. One half the steak was very gristly. My friend had chosen that piece and she tried to eat it but kept putting the gristle pieces on a side plate . She soon was finished and all she had was a pile of gristle. I offered her some of mine even though that was really not much better. When the waitress came back to check on us we pointed this out to her. My friend showed her the gristle accumulated on the side plate that she was unable to consume. The waitress took it and said she was going to show it to the cook. When she returned later, she never said a thing about what happened. Bottom line is that 12 oz steak did not contain much edible meat. The waitress returned later and gave us the bill. I somewhat expected it to have a token discount on it for the terrible steak. Or at least some acknoweldgement of the issue. None! I paid the bill and also shared the poor steak issue with the gentleman managing the cash register. He said he would talk to the cook. End of that conversation. Upon leaving I asked another waitress who that person was.....She said the owner. Wow! Fortunately there are plenty of other good restaurants in the Lake Wisconsin area to visit in the future, and Fitz's will not be one of them. read more

Great food and service!! Wonderful outdoor seating. Fun environment! Good live music

My friend and I popped in on a Friday night fish fry. We put our name on the list we're given an hour wait time as larger groups who put their names in after us were seated. I asked about our table once it was an hour and twenty minutes in and they had 12 names crossed off after us including 4 tops and 6 tops. Completely disrespecting us. We each tried the mix, one baked, one fried. The baked was really dry, and the fried was fried. Neither were seasoned well. A glass of water spilled & we were given 5 paper napkins. A few minutes later, once our server appeared again, we requested a towel. There was still a bit of water on the table throughout the evening. A pile of napkins was left on our table to make us feel unwelcome. Our server did not offer to refill the water, or any beverages. We asked for more water when we saw the server again after we were done eating. I will pass on this message to anyone who asks. read more

Fitz's On The Lake - Messy table before dinner, not cleaned when dinner plates were brought. Dry fish. - American Near Me - Lodi, Wisconsin

Great food and brunch is good too! Nice atmosphere and views on lake WI. Could invest in better outdoor seating.

Ate lunch at Fitz's. If you're lucky enough to get a table with a view of the lake it's a nice, relaxing view. Waitress was good, friendly. It wasn't busy so the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. Haddock cake sandwich was good no sides, sandwich only $14.00. Two piece deep fried haddock plus fries $19.00. We thought the prices were high for what you get. They add a surcharge if you pay by credit card. I wanted to order the salad bar but after looking at, I passed as it wasn't anything special. The place was a little run down. Could be quite nice but the owner needs to put some money into it. There were a couple bees and flies flying around and landing on our table but I guess if you eat outside that is hard to avoid. Not really my kind of restaurant but boaters seem to like it. read more

I am not one to review harshly unless warranted. The bloodies were completely watered down and bland & the chaser was extremely warm. A pomegranate mimosa tasted Like hot cough syrup. Both drinks were dumped. calamarI was so salty & overbreaded that my dog refused to eat it. I wanted to like this place. We needed to go else where to get the bad taste out of our mouths . read more

Great location but they just keep going downhill. Food tastes good but overpriced for what the place is. Got a Rueben to go and it had meat only on 1 half of the sandwich. It also didn't even come with fries. The other sandwiches we got also barely had any meat on them. read more

Just what I needed after a 30-mile bike ride. Great service. Fabulous view. Delicious food.

Good and reasonably priced. Nice salad bar. Good service View of the lake. Very good fish fry. read more

We are here visiting family on the lake. We have been twice now in 4 days. I have to say, I am very happily surprised how good the food is. Our servers are also very nice. The avocado appetizer is delicious. The Bloody Mary and Brandy Old Fashioned to die for. We had fish tacos, haddock cake, burgers, Fish fry, salads, Reuben, and wings. All good. Good view and deck is social distanced. Go. Will go again before we leave this area. read more

Last carry out for Friday Fish was literally an old baked potato and fish nuggets. We've gone here fir years- the previous owners were fantastic! read more

It's infrequent but when it happens it's like getting splashed in the face with ice cold water. This place was awful. The waitress did not realize she was supposed to serve us. Then she pulled something out from my beer after she brought it to our table. I asked her about it and she responded with attitude. Service gets an F grade. The food was okay. My burger was not cooked well and had little flavor. No one at my party raves about the food. I would not recommend this place. read more

Very cute location on the lake. We arrived around 4:30 with a party of 5 plus a highchair and there was just enough room to seat us. Rumor is its gets very busy at dinner time and as we ate, it did fill up quickly. It took some time for the waiter to come over and he seemed skiddish, like it was his first day. Regardless, he did a good job. Our highchair straps were broken so he helped quickly exchange for a new one. Most of us ordered the all you can eat breaded haddock fish fry with one side, Cole slaw and bread. The cole slaw was great, bread was great, au gratin potatoes were good- they were very creamy and cheesy but seemed to be old. The fried haddock tasted great. It was a very thick fish. I can't forget about the tartar sauce which was awesome! You start with two fish and can have as many as you want for $13.99 on Fridays. It was a little tough to get the second round of fish, it took long and didn't taste as good. Check it out, the view of the lake is nice too! read more

I first went to Fitz on the lake in 2014 with some friends passing through the area, and recently returned and made sure to come back and visit since our experience was so great the first time. We had the potstickers for an app, and they were alright but probably wouldn't get them again. Other than that the food and drinks were excellent and the staff was great! Great views outside on the deck. read more

Terrible Bar service. Ordered drinks, said pay now or start a tab. Since only one drink, gave credit card to pay. Bartender ran charge, gave to sign. Signed, then no drinks. After 5 minutes, finally noticed that no drink was served, then served wrong beer. Offered wrong beer, but declined as ordered premium beer. Then waited another 5 minutes for Grasshopper, an ice cream drink. learned it was made in another area, went there to see what was up. Found owner filling ice cream machine and asked him where was my drink, he said filling ice cream machine there soon. i just said, well nice to know as paid for drink and now 20 minutes and no one said anything but 'it's coming'. Went back to bar. Then he comes over to me and says i was not very nice that i should wait. I just said, well we were made to pay for drinks before we got them and then they were wrong and didn't come! To which he says I should be 'kind' to his staff and I was rude . In fact I was not the kind of customer he wanted and to get out. The bartender then threw $10 at me (cost of Grasshopper). To which I want all my money back He opened the till and threw the rest at me! We have been regular customers there for many years and have never been treated so rudely. Especially by the owner. I assume he was having a bad day, but see from other reviews this is the norm for him. We will never return and will make sure our friends will not as well. Too bad. read more

Always a great soup selection and salad bar, great views of the lake! Park along the road when it's busy

Came here for a family night out. Good foood, drinks and service. I had the prime rib and crab legs. We also had the calamari appetizer which was perfect. Great time and we will be back. read more

Love this place. GREAT outdoor ambiance, great fish. It is PRICEY fish fry with salad is around 20$. Salad has a 3.00 up charge. That's a lot. Parking is a pain but even so, Fitz's calls us back. While the fish is good, the crowds are enough (waitresses are really busy and people are waiting) that it might make a better lunch or weekday place. read more

Awful service. Fish was nothing special. Old fashioned was the only positive thing of the night

They have an outstanding Friday fish fry with that's all you can eat. The service is friendly, and it's located right on Lake Wisconsin so grab a patio seat if you can. read more

We came here for dinner on a Monday night. It was not busy, although there were several other tables. We ordered the haddock cakes, and they were delicious. The salad bar was good, with plenty of veggie options, and I appreciated that they had spinach and other lettuce greens rather than just iceberg. We got the special okee-dokee dessert, which is truly incredible and decadent. We got the small size, which was more than enough for two of us to share. We came in late October, so too cold to sit outside. We would love to come back in the summer sometime and enjoy the view of the lake. read more

Well I must say a few things....dining on Lake Wisconsin awesome, beautiful scenery, and service was gr8. Well here we go, my wife ordered the fish fry it was a hit and on tues. It is the special....bonus. Fish fry was on point, very good. I ordered bang bang chicken and coco shrimp, well 18.99 for a half of chicken breast and 2 shrimp is no bueno. Other than that will stick to fish fry and salad bar from now on because those were where it was at for us. Enjoy all. read more

I rate this as a 4 for a bar with food. It has quick service. I've been here a few times and always by jet ski. They have several areas to dock and even sell fuel. Food was yummm drinks quick and cold. Was great to sit on the patio. read more

Over all a solid four rating. Servers are hard working, specials are special, salad bar is overloaded with choices and the house Old Fashions are great! Parking is bothersome. read more

The service is fast and friendly. Everyone of the workers was masked. We had the shrimp tacos. They were tasty with a slightly sweet sauce. They are offering family friendly take out meals for four. The pricing is reasonable. read more

Usually you can tell when a place is packed that the food must be pretty good. We have eaten here several times throughout the years. This was our first fish fry in quite some time. Everyone (7 of us) enjoyed our meals and at 7:45 it was still packed when we got there. I had the pan fried walleye. It was seasoned nicely and such a large fillet! Fortunately my husband finished it! Salad bar is nice for starting out the meal. The atmosphere is casual and typical for a lakefront restaurant in Wisconsin. Our server was pleasant & she was quite busy so a few reminders about drinks ordered but not too long of a wait for food. The road is under construction right now so parking is kind of a pain but it didn't stop people from going there. read more

The bar and restaurant is very good. The soups and sandwiches have many choices and are like home made. . Service is always prompt and courteous. read more

Went on a Friday, and it is lord-of-the-flies crowded. People fighting over space to order drinks, and outdoor waiting space. We were sitting at the bar, and waited over 15 minutes with empty glasses in front of us. No dice. Not enough bartenders, who were both hustling. When our table was ready, we figured it would be easier to order with waitress. Our hostess sat us after a 40 minute wait and... Nothing. No water, no bread, no waitress. For 15 minutes. So I smile and wave and flag down a manager and he sends somebody over to take a drink order. She says it is not her table, but happy to get us drinks. Erica will be right over. Another 10 minutes. I'm paying attention because we've been here over an hour, I haven't had a drink of anything For 40 minutes, and we still haven't ordered. Erica shows up, says she is sorry to make us wait, she "was screwing around upstairs making okie dokies." Her words. I don't even know what this means. The food was good, the salad bar was great, the drinks were mixed well. Two people will spend $50 including tip for fish fry and one drink. But I won't do it a second time here.... This place is not packed because it is good, it's packed because tourists in cabins nearby. Not worth the trip unless you live next door, I guess. read more

This used to be, hands down, the best spot to eat on the Lake. No longer. Broasted Chicken, great burger, blackened prime rib, great salad bar, decent old fashioned, fun and friendly staff. Howie and Asta did it right. New guys...not so much. Took away all of the above. Terribly limited menu and unfortunately now pretty crappy drinks. No salad bar offered with the very overpriced special of the day, because it comes with a vegetable. What? NO BROASTED CHICKEN?!!! Come on, just deep fried with no seasoning? What is with all the crap in the corner of the dining room? Looks awful. The new chairs that match nothing were not the best way to spend some money, maybe fix the tile in the bathroom with a tile, not duct tape. Serving staff, obviously tired of explaining above poorly thought out changes to disappointed patrons, were polite, but short. Used to be a frequent customer, won't be back. read more
