We just got pizza and salad. It was good but not great for the price of $32.00. There was really nothing special about the pizza that stood out to us. They did have several TVs which was great cuz we wanted to keep tabs on a few of the football games. read more

NEVER GO TO FROSTYS!!! This is the worst, most disrespectful establishment that I have set foot in for a good few years. Bad food, bad prices, bad people. Nothing of interest for anybody of any age. I am disgusted to know this place exists and people like the employees behind the bar wake up everyday and go to work for this sorry excuse of a bar. I am a 21 year old who went to put-in bay for fall break with my friends expecting to have a relaxing vacation, and we were treated disrespectfully and were victims of harsh agism by both the employees and management of frostys. My friends bought 2 pizzas and were not told the prices before and were then charged $61. That is unacceptable . Not to mention the fact that I had to show the bartender 3+ forms of identification to get a pint of Miller lite, even after I answered his punitive questions regarding my identification. IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE 0 stars I would do it. Not only were we victims of discrimination due to our age, but we were overcharged, stared at, intimidated, and the servers were relectuant to serve us. NEVER GO TO FROSTYS! read more

Their breakfast is awesome. I had the Eggs Benedict and it came out incredibly good. They were however packed tighter than sardines with people. Yet despite how busy they were, they got us our food in like 10 minutes. Very impressive really. read more

Frosty's pizza is the 8 you bring home from the bar and find out later she is a 5. Definatley a market for this in society (especially on an island), but best enjoyed intoxicated. Upscale frozen pizza, and very salty. Drink up amigos! read more

Over a 3 day visit to Put-in-Bay, we came to Frosty... 3 times. The 1st night was all about dancing and having a good time. The DJs were friendly and played just about any song that we requested and their might have been a bit of dancing on the bar to celebrate one of the bar staff's birthday. The 2nd night was all about Halloween and pizza. One of those in our group really wanted the pizza so we got 2 - BBQ and another one that I can't quite remember. They were both spicy and had so many toppings that the crust could barely hold them. It was great drinking food! The 3rd day was a stop for lunch. They serve typical bar food and the crowd still seemed pretty large. read more

South Bass Island (Putin' Bay), Ohio --- The "Frosty Bar" since 1949 is a good choice to start Day 36? (i forgot ) of "DUSA Tour 2016" the only "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite place in Putin' Bay ... bartender Annette is a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite bartender/server and is exceptional ... the only TRUE professional bartender I have experience in this Village of Putin' Bay ... The "Country Benedict" was tasty-riffic & a good value for-the-buck ... sausage covered with sausage chunks in a yummy-riffic gravy was more than I could eat I "really" like the pot of coffee on the bar for do-it-your-damn-self refills #RunAwayBill #DUSATour2016 #LivingLarge "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! 06.18.16 read more

This is a classic PIB stop, so we went in and gave it a try. The seating was pretty full inside so we took a seat out back at a table by the outdoor bar area. The place out there is colorful and totally reminds me of a tropical getaway. Our server was pretty unenthusiastic but I looked past that as the menu offers lots of tropical drinks and a nice selection of beers on tap. The dragonfruit daiquiri was very fruity and delicious, perfect for a 90+ degree day. My boyfriend's pina colada was very good too. I wish they had some lighter food options besides pizza and tacos. Next time when it's not so hot and I'm not so full, I'd like to give the food a taste. read more

My favorite breakfast on the island! Great service, and some awesome apparel for sale! With the patio in the back, the burrito bar back there as well, this is one place you MUST visit while on the island! read more

Note: My visit to Frosty Bar was a couple years ago - I originally posted this review on tripadvisor, but wanted to move it to yelp, too! Here it is: Great beer, great pizza, great bartenders and awesome branded merchandise to keep the memories fresh. Of all the bars I visited while at Put-in bay, this one was my favorite. The beer is served in an ice cold frosty glass (hence the name "Frosty Bar"). They have plenty of TVs and plenty of seating. If you go to Put-in bay. Make sure this is one of your stops. read more

We had a group of 7 for late dinner. Seated and served by very friendly and capable staff. Food was good, hot and nice cold beer served in the iconic Frosty's mug! Boneless wings had a great sauce on them. Pizza was not "worlds best" but tasty, lots of options and did the job - no complaints! Enjoyable atmosphere. Nice finally getting here because the place has been around a long time. read more

I don't understand the hype about the pizza. The crust is gross but that's just me I guess. I had nachos instead. They were pretty good but my husband and I couldn't figure out why they'd put rice on nachos...cheap filler I guess. If we hadn't been with our kids we would have eaten elsewhere but they'll only eat pizza so that's why we chose Frosty's. read more

Came to Frosty Bar for late night drinks over the weekend with a group of guys for a bachelor party. We didn't any food and just had drinks. The service was fast and attentive and we never had to wait long for a drink (and the bar was full). Typical PIB bar prices, 5-7 for beers and your basic mixed drinks. This was my first time in PIB Frosty Bar appears to be your typical PIB bar, it was pretty packed with mostly young people drinking heavily to loud music. read more

Great breakfast selections, friendly service, and not too crowded on a sleepy Monday in the pre-season.

This bar will give you what you want, provided you realize that you're on Put-In Bay in the 21st century. Seriously, these reviews are hilarious. You got one guy saying there's too many strollers, another person complains that it's not family friendly. You got some people talking about the pizza being awesome, and some people saying it's not as good as it was when they were kids even though it's been the same recipe for 30 years outside of that one time they changed the tomato provider. At the end of the day, this spot provides a little bit of everything (in a good way) and I think that's why the reviews are so silly. Here's what you get: Great service -- I've never met a rude or inattentive employee at this spot. Best breakfast in town -- works well for the hungover folks and families. You'll get a solid meal for every type of person. Bar pizza -- old-school bar pizza that does the trick when you need lots of cheese in your system. This isn't fast food pizza hut style, and it's not that quality fancy oven pizzaria that offers $20 medium pizzas. This is a delicious pile of cheese, sauce, pizza grease, and chewy with little-flavor crust. It's good, especially if you're doing the PIB spring break forever party. If you don't want bar pizza, go to Cameo. Now that I'm officially celiac, I'm sad I can't eat this stuff anymore. Burritos -- this is the closest you'll get to a Chipotle on the island. In fact, I think it's better in some ways because it has a ton more options and the serving size is freaking massive. You can feed three people with these things and they taste damn good. Music -- they have DJs that keep things pumped up at night. I actually heard some decent mixing and digital spinning one night. Where some places are giving you radio jock voices between changing CDs, Frosty's gets some good DJs. Drinks -- They got beer, wine, the hard stuff, mixed stuff, etc... It's all there. They even have a gluten free beer option. If you can't the right drink here, you're probably not going to find it on the island at all. One last thing: everywhere on the island ramps down their stock towards the end of the season. If you go to Frosty's or any other spot on PIB in August and September, you're options will dwindle. You might find that some beers or food options just aren't available. That's because these guys have to close down shop for the fall and winter. There's no way around it. Make sure you plan your trip and expectations accordingly. read more

This is one of those places where you're put off before you even walk in the door. The door girl was really crabby. You couldn't move in here. Not a bad thing for Frosty's but bad for me and my sanity. Drinks were served in dixie cups but you paid for pints. Not heavy on the alcohol either. I did notice they had a decent beer selection. And they should since they have a beer mug as their logo. I wanted to try the pizza since everyone raves about it. We never had the chance. Sucky atmosphere with a frat boy crowd. Not fun. read more

The coldest beer, but crappiest pizza on the island. Come for the beer and the cherries, have dinner elsewhere. What happened to this place? It used to be a nice divey bar. But today, there were families and strollers in the barroom. It's PIB, it's not supposed to be family friendly. read more

This place was CLUTCH. Our rental didn't have ESPN, and the NBA playoffs were on. Every other bar on Delaware Ave. had a DJ and some loud music and the ones that didn't have loud ass music weren't serving food. So where is a sports fan to go? The bar side here is connected to the dining side which is great for taking a breather or fueling up with some food for a long night of drinking. Also, this is the place of one of the better breakfasts on the island. My night had the game on a big screen TV, a pretty delicious pepperoni pizza, and a pitcher of beer. And the best part? It wasn't overpriced like the rest of the Avenue. This was a great night up until the police department threatened to tow my golf cart so i ended up leaving early. read more

Pretty much a dive bar-very hot-dirty bathroom and crazy customers-I heard the skankiest conversation in the ladies' room that would make a sailor blush. Pizza is thick, chewy crust with tons of cheese smothering the toppings. Salad was good, but it's so loud in there that you'd be better off getting your pizza to go! read more

After all these years, Frosty's is still one of my favorite places on the island for its unchanged atmosphere, still great drinks, food and service. They have now added onto the building in recent years by putting a "Backyard" bar that is truly a relaxing place with patio chairs, shade from the sun and large wraparound bar. There is also "Big Man's Burrito Stand" out back, that I heard many locals say is a great place to chow down, but I didn't have time to sample myself. Frosty's is famous for it's food, too. Handmade Italian foods from pastas, pizza, subs and such for lunch and dinner. They also serve KILLER breakfasts. I love that they leave the pot of coffee for you, plus a large glass bottle of water so you can refill on your own to wash away the previous night's lasting effects. One special they had for breakfast was pulled pork on hash browns with 2 eggs for 10 bucks that was out of this world good. Service was very quick and friendly and I was full until dinner! During the weekends and nights, they have a few arcade games inside, one pool table and plenty of beers on tap, still served in Frosty's signature stemmed glass served ice cold. They have a new jukebox that you can operate with an app on your smartphone as well, which I've not seen before. Nice selection of items from the gift shop, too, including a Frosty's glass to have at your own house. You just can't go wrong with this place. It's been an island favorite for decades and they're still doing everything right. read more

Frosty's equals Put-in-Bay for me, until recently. As a child, I remember we would go over to the island for the day, do all the family activities like the monument and the caves and then we would go to Frosty's before we hopped on the Jet Express to head back home. Well this time, we decided to hit up the well-known location for lunch on the first day we were on the island. Well, their pizza use to be cheesy, thick crusted, and epic in tastiness (and calorie count). Now, the pizza literally tasted like one of those microwavable brands and half of our group got a stomach ache. Out of the three pizzas we ordered, maybe a total of one was completely consumed. This was not a one-time occurrence either. Upon further research (aka asking people around the island and family members) we realized that within the last year the pizza has gone down hill. Luckily, that is not the only thing that Frosty's is good for. It so just happens to be a bar, which most people on the island are looking for anyways. Half of Frosty's is the pizza place and the other side has an indoor bar that goes from jukebox chill drinking during the day to full on dance floor and rave at night. But alas, patios win me over every time. Frosty's now has an outdoor patio complete with a large bar, chairs, and tables. AND what tops the patio off is they have a Big Man's Burrito stand in the back. This selection and food completely makes up for their complete bomb of pizza (sorry for being tough). You basically get to choose the toppings you want and if you want it in the form of tacos, burrito, nachos, salad, etc. But be careful some of the toppings are an "extra" cost and you won't find out until you get rung up. So Frosty's my nostalgic feelings towards you will keep me coming back--- but only to the good half! read more

After experience many of the bars on the island a few years in a row, I'd say that this place isn't the best but defiantly not the worst either. Did a breakfast/lunch here then came back for late night dancing. It does draw a crowd at these popular times. As my rating here says this place is A-OK so there are a few places I'd got first, but definitely would still say this place is a fine one to hang out in too. read more

Love their brunch! The pumpkin pancakes are worth the wait. My kids love the pancakes too and great portion sizes too. My husband is a big fan of the bloody mary's extra spicy. Pizza is good, too read more

Ah Frostys. In between the pseudo upscale bars and oonce oonce dance clubs, you stand as a somewhat shady hole in the wall with oh-so-delicious pizza. Photo hunt machine? Check. Smaller contingent of d-bag fratholes? Check. A place that feels more like a local neighborhood bar than a cash whore designed to fleece tourists of their money? You bet. I can't think of a better place at PIB to get a good base of pizza in your belly before a long days drunk - something that's worth its weight in gold at a place like Put-in-Bay. read more

Visited midweek after Labor Day. They may very well have been drained from a tough season but nevertheless our experience was terrible. The pizza we ordered online was incorrect and cold....we even arrived to pick up BEFORE the scheduled time. Drinks while we waited were marginal and terrible pours. They measure their pours but the measuring devise was not working. The bartender poured about 1.5 oz for a rocks our. BTW, the cold pizza was not good. Sorry, bad experience. read more

Good service. Terrible food. The hollandaise sauce on the eggs benedict was tasteless. The toast on the BLT was burnt. The ketchup packets that came with our food were covered in syrup, but we had no syrup with our food, meaning they were reused off of a previous person's plate. This is disgusting, especially in light of the pandemic. Save your money and your health, do not go there. read more

Frosty's is a bar.reataurant that probably has one of the better breakfasts on the island. They open early for the few early birds out their and they have some very cheap brekfast specials. Their biscuits and gravy are some of the better ones that I have had. The line is usually very long to get in here but they turn their tables very quickly and you do not have to wait too long so don't let the line scare you. The bar is not your typical dance club that most of the island bars are on the island. It is more of a pub type place that i prefer to go to anyway. Like most dirnking establishments on the island this place can get packed. read more

This place is laid out quite nicely. On one half of the place you have the eatery and the other half is the pub/music half. I had heard about that pizza from the moment I arrived on the island and it didn't disappoint. If you're with a group, prepare to order several larges though as they are quite small. If you're a cheese pizza lover, you'll be in heaven. If you are watching your caloric intake, you won't be. We also had breakfast there one morning. I believe they stop serving at 11 AM and if you get there around 10 like we did, prepare to wait forever. The line was nearly out the door when we arrived as this is only 1 of 2 places on the island that serves a hot breakfast (as far as I know). Like the pizza, it didn't disappoint either. read more

Enjoyed my time at Put-in-Bay but I'm sorry to say my visit to Frosty wasn't the highlight of the trip. We came in around 10pm and I got a shot of vodka to put in my Mountain Dew and the bar tender was pleasant and helpful. I was having fun. I went up to get another shot and some quarters and there was another bar tender and again she was kind and helpful. I then went up to get a jack and diet and a female bartenders in a red shirt told me if I didn't have my ID she wouldn't serve me. I was told she was a manager ans the other two girls told her that they had served me BUT they couldn't trump the manager's decision. Now, I'm 33 to be 34 next week and I have visible greys in the front. I offered my birth date also. The point is, I totally get the ID rule, but if your crew has already served me twice over a period of 2 hours and I'm playing the pool table and juke box with change I got from drinks you need to admit that your team screwed up, get the customer a drink and regroup the team to tell them not to do that and why. My husband had to get drinks for me the rest of the evening. Last point to add is that the bar closes abruptly at 1am on the 4th of July and 20 minutes before closing they turned the music down that we paid for so that we couldn't hear it . . . We left annoyed and went on to another bar still open. read more

Great pizza and the cheesy bread is amazing. Ask for the side of garlic sauce- it makes everything even better.

This is a great go-to spot for the over 30 crowd and to avoid DB's. Service is quick from the bartenders and they make great frozen drinks! Pizza is darn good and grab a 1lb burrito out back. You won't be dissapointed! read more

Frosty Bar is alright. I don't really like any of the bars that I have ever been to on the strip, this one is tolerable.

Honestly, I'm a little disappoint in this place. The food looked promising, and the pizza the people next to us ordered looked unreal but our food was not great at all. We order the tacos, SPICEY southwest chicken salad and guac and chips. Our SPICY salad had no spicy, they just gave us ranch. Our tacos were cold and the guac and no salt, no limes, and was completely bland. Staff is great and if you come definitely get the pizza. read more

Best pizza place, ever. Hands down. The service is speedy, and it connects to the Frosty bar, which is a staple in my good Put In Bay memories (that I can remember). It's overpriced, so what. You're on Put In Bay! Indulge! Full bar, AND they open early for breakfast (pancakes and Bloody Mary's, whaaaaat!) The Buffalo Chicken Ranch pizza is my favorite - give it a try! read more

I am a connoisseur of breakfast, and I must say this is the best breakfast in town. The staff here are very friendly, and it is a fun place to be. And if you're really lucky you might get your meal serve to you by Derek, he's a really cool guy and he is a source of information for anything going on on the island he's been here in quite a while and he pretty much knows everything thats going on and he's willing to take the time to answer your questions. It is a bar but it's got a section that is very family-friendly. PS Derek is definitely an asset to this establishment. read more

My third summer visit to Catawba Island. Frosty's has become the perfect go-to for lunch with a crowd of hungry children and adults after a refreshing boat ride. There's always a bit of a jostle to find table to push together, but the crowd is friendly. Of course, you have to get the peanuts and throw the shells on the ground. Frosted glasses for the beer- I mean, the place is called Frosty's! read more

$24 for a tiny pizza and it was just awful. I had 1 piece, but I couldn't eat the rest. We let them know how terrible it was, and the reply was "it's a tradition." What does that even mean? They didn't offer us a replacement meal or a refund. read more

I have been a big fan of Frosty's ever since I was a kid. I loved their pizza (despite the fact that I know it is cheaply made, but it's an island institution so I was okay with it) and I loved the history of the place. But beware if you want to visit with your family: Frosty's, despite having separate rooms for the bar and for the restaurant, won't allow children at dinnertime and IDs everyone that comes through the door, even if you just want to get a pizza from the restaurant. Understandably, the bars at Put-in-Bay are diligent about checking IDs, but I have never before heard of a pizza joint turning away families starting at 6 p.m. (SIX O'CLOCK!) There are separate rooms at Frosty's for a reason; why they turn the entire restaurant side into a bar at dinnertime and won't allow families is beyond me. To those families that may want a Frosty's pizza at dinnertime but unfortunately find that they are being refused entry, there are plenty of other options in the downtown area that will give you more for your money without the hostility from bouncers and the arguably trashy bar scene that Frosty's has turned into. That said, while I am very disappointed that the restaurant appears to be discriminating against families now, I gave another star because the breakfast there is good. In fact, I have always really looked forward to having breakfast there while visiting the island. Sadly, I don't know if I will go back for the breakfast OR the pizza that I grew up loving so much because I can't support an establishment that has fallen so far from what the Stoiber family originally meant for it to be. read more
