We were a group of 4 adults and 2 children. Wa waited an hour for our food. When we asked about…read moreit, the woman tending bar said that our order would be done soon. Then at the hour, she came over and said that our order hadn't been started! They were training new cooks so we would have to understand. One of the cooks came out and didn't offer an explanation. When we said we were leaving, the cook smut and said go ahead then. Do not go anywhere near this restaurant. The star ratishould be no star.

We stopped here on a rainy Saturday for lunch. The main bar/restaurant was closed but the outdoor…read morearea was open. We had a dog with us and they had one table that was kind of outdoor/indoor so we sat there as dogs weren't allowed in the bar area. They were training some new people who were learning English which was a little bit challenging. They did a good job though and the owner/manager (?) came over to double check the orders. We ordered cheese curds which were actually really good. We all agreed that we'd come back just for the curds. My kids had a chicken tender basket. Pretty standard. I had the whitefish fill sandwich. It was just ok. The sauce didn't have much flavor and definitely could have used way more dill. I ended up using ranch to give it something. My friend had a fish basket and said it was alright too.

If you're looking for some great food on Washington Island, I'd recommend heading over to the Soup…read more 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.

We selected this place for my birthday breakfast because of the vegan and gluten free menu options available. Upon arrival however, we're quite disappointed to find out the menu online was not what they had available. Thus there was only one option available that was safe for my son. What we did end up ordering was great and fresh. We made adaptations to accommodate our dietary needs and it was still delicious. My final complaint is that our waitress was off putting. It felt like we were doing everything wrong (made reservations that don't matter apparently, looked at the wrong menu online, clarified that a menu item was dairy free, etc.). She was condescending and it was quite uncomfortable to relax and enjoy. Food gets a 4 (would have been a 5 if their menu was more inclusive), service gets a 2. Landing at a 3.

So, I had been wanting to try this place ever since it opened, but each of our trips to Door County…read morenever seemed to coincide with their business hours. Finally, on our last trip, the stars aligned and we made it in. It was soooo worth it. We had a bit of a wait, as they don't take reservations, and it is a VERY popular place. We sat at the bar and enjoyed drinks until our time came to be seated. The bar area has ample seating at the bar and there are several tables, as well. On one end of the room is a small bump out where they have a few items for sale (shirts, et). On the other end is a huge stone fireplace that actually sits in the middle of the building and separates the bar from the dining room. There are animal mounts everywhere, but not overly so. I ordered Hunherschnitzel (chicken) and my husband ordered Jagerschnitzel. Both came with sides of sauerkraut and red cabbage. For dessert, I got a slice of cheesecake. Everything was so delicious! We love German food and were hoping for the best. We got it! I see that they are closed till 2026....I hope it's to expand or remodel and not to close, because I definitely will be coming here again! 9/2025

I'm glad we stopped at Hugel Haus for dinner. We ordered a pretzel and some potato pancakes to…read moreshare as appetizers. Both were very good, and the emmentaler that came with the pretzel made it even better. For the main course I ordered the hühnerschnitzel. I ordered it with the hunter gravy on the side, but they forgot to do so--luckily, although there are mushrooms in it, it wasn't overpowering and it wasn't bad. The meal was pleasant, as was the setting. Our server was very good, attentive, and knowledgeable. We went earlier in the evening and it was not too busy. I think I'd visit again if I was looking for a place to eat in Door County.

Slow service & unapologetic staff. Skip it…read more Was seated 15+ minutes after our reservation, even though there seemed to be adequate staffing and many open tables. Food was good, bartender (ahead of being seated) was great, atmosphere was good. Service was SLOW and inattentive. There were multiple times where we waited 10-20 minutes with no food or drink in front of us. No one ever followed up for additional drink orders outside of the first. After about 1 hour & 10 minutes, I flagged down a bus boy and asked them to find out why we still hadn't gotten the main course. They said we were behind a big table and it should be about 5 minutes. 5 minutes later I flagged down my waiter and asked what was up. I was told that it was my fault for asking for our focaccia, appetizer, and main course to be spaced out. (the only options that were given were to have all items at once or spaced out) At this point I asked for a manager. The manager (owner) came out hot, acting like the soup guy from Seinfeld. He had the waiter repeat what she told to me earlier and when I tried to interject, told me to stop and listen to her. I reiterated that at this point we'd been there for over an hour after being seated (late) (also at this point it was almost and hour and a half since being seated) and that it was unacceptable to still not have been served the main course, whatever their excuse was. There were at least 3 servers, and not over 20 tables in the entire place. Instead of offering anything at all to make up for it, acknowledging any of the issues, or least of all apologizing, the owner told the waiter to "get us out of here". The waiter wound up bringing the entree in a bag and the check (including the entree) to us. I had to demand I wasn't, at all, paying for the entree in order to get it removed from the bill. (I left it on the table) The bottom line is that, the entree could've been the tastiest dish in the world, but this place doesn't deserve your patronage.
