    Pelletier's is our favorite fish boil in Door County! They serve breakfast and lunch, with fish…read moreboils daily at 5, 6, and 7 p.m. I highly recommend calling ahead for a reservation, as they often sell out. The whitefish with melted butter is amazing. The fish boil also comes with potatoes, corn, Cole slaw, a drink, and cherry pie. One of the best parts of the experience is the fish boil demonstration. They take the time to explain the ingredients, cooking process, and history behind this Door County tradition. Great storytelling and a fun experience to watch! Outdoor seating is available, and the entire experience is well worth it. If you're visiting Door County and want to experience a traditional fish boil, Pelletier's is a great choice. Highly recommend! Thank You

    After making reservations for the fish boil on Labor Day, I arrived and checked in at 5 for a great…read morespeech about tradition and inclusivity only to then have one of the worst experiences. Once at our table we waited 40+ min before I could flag down a server. During which the table of 10+ next to us left, they cleaned the table, sat 10 more people and served them the fish bowl. The server served every other table in the restaurant before talking to us, including checking on two of the tables near us again to make sure they had everything included in the meal. Finally after every single other person in the restaurant was served and checked on, the waitress walked by and stated " did the other waitress serve you?". I said no and began going over our order which included a non lactose meal which the waitress stated " I can read..." and walked away. Only to then be brought not only the wrong plate but not be brought bread or corn. I had to point it out and the waitress stated "oh, I guess you're right." Then clearly overheard that they were out of fish, clearly the reason my wife was given the wrong meal. I again want to be clear that the table next to us had their entire meal start to finish already at this point and this was a prearranged meal that should have been served with everyone else at that fish boil time. It was clear that our server would rather die than speak to me as I raised my hand again and again every time she passed by. Finally she stopped by the table and said that they were cooking our food in the back and that it would be out shortly. I asked for an explanation as the entire meal should have been cooked in the fish boil and not separately. The waitress laughed and said "it's boiled in water out there, it's boiled in water in the back, what's the difference..." my wife then said we need to speak to a manager since that's not the experience. Another person stepped over 5-10 min later and said let me explain that we are cooking it and it will be out shortly, confused we asked if it was cooked in the fish boil and if she was the manager, which she said no. Finally the manager did come over, however after an hour and a half my wife had already left. I felt completely unwelcome, like we were the problem. The manager did comp the meal however stated that "what did we want there was fish...?" again my wife never received her correct meal as they were out of fish. I am honestly so confused as to how or why the waitress wanted to completely avoid serving us, not bring food after we were the last ones left, get another server when asked for her manager to confuse us more, and the manager to clearly just want us to leave as soon as possible... as if we were the problem for eating there. This experience took over 2 hours,
