    The Dagwood
    Brian B.

    If you're looking for some great food on Washington Island, I'd recommend heading over to the Soup. We have yet to experience any bad food or drinks of any kind. In fact, they're all quite worth the wait. I get it; it's the island. You may be hangry because you tried other places, but they just didn't cut it, maybe. This place does, though there may be a bit of a wait. It's normal to have to wait a bit when there are visitors on the island, so if you can endure, I think you'll enjoy what you get. Outdoor seating is spacious, and there's a bar area if you need a drink while you wait. I grabbed the Dagwood because I was in the mood for a big ole sammich. It was great, and washing it down with a refreshing IPA hit the spot. The weather was a bit warm out there, so the combination was really a win. There's an assortment of outdoor games, or you can stroll around the various places nearby, like Jackson Harbor, the Maritime Museum, or hop on a boat and go to Rock Island afterwards and take a hike to the lighthouse. They have Wi-Fi, but in most places on the island, your connection is going to be hit-or-miss.

    Apple crumble pie and chocolate chip cookie- incredible crust and cookie!! So many pies to choose from!

    Was just exploring Washington island for the first time, when I followed a car into the parking lot and knew I'd hit the jackpot with outside fireplace and location overlooking rock island and beach area! The staff was so friendly and helpful with picking out the best food but from the various pies to the hot and cold sandwiches to the service, it's just a must stop lunch area that locals and visitors love! Highly recommend!

    Outdoor seating, Rock Island across the way.

    Recently had a vacation on Washington Island. We ate at several restaurants and this was the best. There were two soups available one was vegetarian and another was vegan. My beer cheddar soup was stellar as was my pesto, blue cheese sandwich. The menu informs you as to what is vegetarian, what is vegan, and gluten free choices. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table. There is plenty of outdoor seating and it was a beautiful day. There were lawn games for the kids and for the adults. Rock Island is across the water and adds to the ambiance to the place. Sitting near the door I saw some very good looking desserts coming out. If you're on the island I would highly recommend this place. Don't miss it!

    Incredibly busy, but you'll know why. Delicious homemade soups and sandwiches on a property overlooking scenic Jackson Harbor and Rock Island. The customer service counter personnel are extremely helpful and the waitstaff hustles better than anyone. It's a gem!

    Sub sandwich, Grandma's Potato Soup
    Nicole L.

    Who eats soup on. 90 degree day! This Yelper! The reason? My friend highly recommended this place and said - even if it's hot out you need to try the soup. She was right. Their soup is life. Not sure what they put in the soup but it was pretty amazing. We were starving when we arrived on Washington Island and my GPS wasn't working so make sure you get a map to find this place - it's a hidden treasure. The line was long, but we got our orders in, copper a squat and waited about 15 minutes. I got a 1/2 sub with a cup of Grandma's Potato Soup. It was excellent. The soup was rich for a cup was enough for me. There were 4 soups when we visited and a good selection of sandwiches and fresh baked desserts too. They have a great outdoor seating area. I recommend doing an early or late lunch to avoid the crowds.

    Very delicious strawberry rhubarb pie.
    Bill M.

    Possibly a neon sign needed on the road to make sure you get the right drive way, but this is the hidden spot you want to find. The space is handicap accessible. The food is so delightful. I had the beer cheese soup and grilled cheese, plus a slice of strawberry rhubarb pie. The patio has a nice cover and you get a nice view of Rock Island. When you're looking for something other than burgers or bar food, this is the spot on Washington Island to go to. It's my new go to anytime I visit. Thank you to a great staff.

    Long lines, but delicious food and friendly service. Sandwiches and soup were delicious--didn't try the carrot cake but it looked amazing!

    Great soup run by a wonderful family... close eyes and pick, you can't go wrong. Try the desserts as an appetizer while you wait.

    I'm going to give Bread and Water another 5 stars this year for 2 reasons:…read more1. Cherry pie is delicious. Plenty of cherries, flaky and melt in your mouth crust. Clearly made right here with love. 2. Great job w Covid-19 precautions: hand washing station, clean bathrooms, all food served in paper board (not styrafoam) to go containers. The most together food service ive seen this year on Washington Island in terms of being hygienic. Sandwiches are straight forward and tasty. Nothing fancy, imho. Don't know about the burgers, we ate those at the Albatross where I think any place on the island would have stiff competition to beat how tasty those are! Don't let the shaby exterior of Bread and Water fool you, food is solid.

    Odd little place with mismatched old tables and chairs, kind of like grandma's back porch. Out of…read morecherry pie at noon. I had the the mountain BLT with chips and my wife asked for a simple grilled chicken breast because she was having stomach problems, but the communication between the cook and the waitress (written on paper that we saw) produced a greasy grilled chicken breast. The one waitress was not able to handle the requests from three tables inside and people sitting on the porch. The mission of the restaurant is to serve some operation within the Methodist Church, but a classier approach is needed to assure the customers that once you get past "Bread and Water" there is competence in the kitchen.
