Amazing location, the scenery in the back area was breathtaking on a warm fall day. The water was sparkling and the trees were colorful. Love it! The place was spacious. We came on a Sunday at round lunch time. The service was great, their weren't a lot of people . I believe the owner servers us. Very nice guy also told us about the "Bluffs " and where to find them. Never heard of it. We didn't go that day but we do plan on it. They have a fall drink menu. I tried an apple mojito for the first time and it was delicious. We ordered a beef brisket sandwich and their Hell Fired Pizza. The brisket was dry. I asked for a side of BBQ sauce and it helped, plus I did really like the sauce. The bun was toasted perfect. The pizza was good, didn't care for the sauce, it needed more flavor but the toppings were great and a lot of it. I also liked the crust. Definitely will be going back. read more

Great location on the south shore of Lake Ontario, with plenty of docks to pull up your boat. We came here because it's walking distance from a cottage we stayed at... the only restaurant/bar within walking distance. The place is large, inside there's lots of tables and a few couches to relax at, massive bar with about 50 seats... open air bar that over looks the lake. You can access the bar inside and out. Unfortunately only two bartenders were on and it was busy... service was slow but they were nice... not great with serving in order... be prepared to wait. Lots of great draft beer available I had a southern tier ipa... served in plastic cups.. understand why but prefer a glass. No need able service so back to the bar to order food, my table was served but I was not. Took awhile for the bartender to find/get my order out. They have a girl that brings out the food to numbers on your table and it was so unorganized. We actually felt bad for her, most of the time she would just come out and yell what she had..ugh There was entertainment the night we stopped in, Jon Lamanna was performing inside. He was good, very personable and interactive with the room. Seems like they have a lot of events inside and out. Large outside pavilion with plenty of seats and lounge chairs. Lawn games spread out. read more

The Mrs. and I were traveling home when we wanted to stop for a quick pizza. Moderate size place with awesome outside views. Owners were very nice and they had a bunch of people working. Outdoor games were available, live music (not too loud) and great drinks! Pizza was awesome and plenty to drink. I highly recommend! read more

Hands down the best bar and restaurant on Sodus bay! Love the outdoor space, ability to get there by boat AND food and drinks! Make sure to swing by the next time you're on the bay. read more

Oh gosh..... this place has so much potential. BUT they are simply unorganized .......and understaffed. Unfortunately, everything starts at the bar. Do you want to drink, order from the bartender, you want to order food, order at the bar. Now there's only two bartenders in this very large bar space. And they certainly don't work in any order. I watched new people come up to the bar and have their order taken before mine and I am patiently standing there waiting to order my food. This doesn't work for me. Also, I told the younger bartender that the women's room was out of toilet paper and she was just too busy and overwhelmed to tell anybody. Later on I did tell the food runner and she was able to let the owner know. And he came out to change it. Meanwhile, they were women in the bathroom so he waited patiently outside. I'm not sure why the food runner girl couldn't change it while there was women in the bathroom alll waiting around. That would've made more sense to get the line moving. Just seems so unorganized. Jeez, where is Jon Taffer when you need him? This is a great location and one of the only restaurants nearby for some of these cottages on the water. It truly has so much potential, it just needs help and needs someone who knows how to run and manage a bar. It does not seem like anyone from this team Has experience in this manner. read more

We went here earlier this week for the first time. We were very happy that we found this place. Our server was beyond friendly and overall great. The cook/chef was also amazing. It's definitely our new favorite place. The wings were awesome with great flavor and I had the BBQ Pork Pizza and my wife had a calzone. Both were absolutely delicious. We'll be going back as often as possible. read more

Tried this place while out on a little local road trip. This restaurant is one of the only options in the area. It is located on Lake Ontario about 5 minutes from chimney bluffs park. There is plenty of parking across the street and tons of seating both inside and outside. There is a large food menu and you go to the bar to order. There is a very large selection of drinks at the bar as well. We decided to try two pizzas: the hell fire and the honey mustard chicken, both were really good and tasty. Pricing was a little steep but likely due to the remote location. Looks like it can get busy during the summer with live music but we went there on a Saturday the first weekend in June and there wasn't many people there. Worth a stop for lunch or a drink if in the area. Friendly staff. Dogs are allowed at outdoor seating. They even have water bowls inside on a shelf that you can use. read more

Ok so full disclosure, if I look a bit wiped out the family decided on a 3 mile hike through Chimney Bluffs State park. Woof I am tired. We stopped for lunch here at Pier Fifty-three for lunch. Is puppers are welcome outside on the deck overlooking Sodus Bay. Pretty much a self serve bar. Water bowls are by the front door ATM. Family had a seltzer and Yuengling and then Chicken Nachos and well done Plain wings. They seemed very happy with their choices. Pops was jammin to some Roll with the Changes (it was an embarrassing eyeroll from me). 4 paws from moi! read more

This place has become our weekend summer spot when we go boating on Lake Ontario. It conveniently has dock access for boaters who want to stop in for food and drinks. The pizzas are great, and I recommend the Margherita and House Favorite. Enjoy couch, table, bar, or picnic table seating with an open-air feel. There is also live music on a dedicated stage and food truck on the grounds. Overall great place for family and friends! read more

Service was absolutely ridiculous, our pizza and our chicken tenders took over almost 2 hours. Besides that, we were told an hour and a half after we ordered that our ticket got lost and we didn't get a single thing free after waiting two hours. read more

Updated pizza crust this year (2024) is delicious. We have tried several of their pizza options including the white pizza and all have been fresh, properly cooked and tasty. Highly recommend this fun spot on the east side of Sodus Bay. read more

Came here for lunch today with a group of friends that my husband went to high school with, and their spouses, and two children. I'll start by saying we live in buffalo and are used to really good food. First, we drove right by the place. There is not really any sign on the building or in front of it, or near it with the restaurant name. Luckily my husband knows the area and google maps was on point. We walked in and were greeted right away which was nice. We said we were with a party coming in for a reservation and we were early. We were the only people here, it was dead. My husband ordered drinks from the bar while we waited for our friends. They were quite small and I was annoyed to learn later that they were $6 a piece, which seemed high for the size. They had some cornhole boards set up inside so we played a bit until our friends arrived. Once our whole party, we ordered food. Our friend who planned the lunch said she was surprised by the menu, because when she chose this place it was very large and today was only a page long, mostly featuring pizzas. I had signed up for their email list knowing we were coming, and got an email with a promo code, and no explanation. I asked our waitress who said it was for a pizza and an order of wings for $20. My husband I and ordered the siracha bbq wings and the house favorite pizza, which has honey mustard, chicken, and bacon on it. I'm glad we didn't pay full price for this food because we were not impressed. The pizza tasted like a frozen pizza. Very thin crust, cardboard type taste. The honey mustard was gelatinous goop on it that did not really function as a sauce. It was barely warm when it got to us. The wings were served on this skillet thing that burned the sauce, fused the wings to it, and literally melted the bottom of the Bleu cheese cup right out, seeping chemicals into the food. The sauce on the wings was super spicy for approximately one bite, then just tasted liked bbq. Also, they advertise gluten free crusts on the menu for their pizza, and after our party ordered three pizzas on this crust, we were told they only had two. They also were out of lettuce which knocked out any salad options on the small menu, entirely. And something that really threw me was the fact that they don't have plates. I got a sheet of parchment type paper as a plate. So odd. Things I liked: -Our waitress was wonderful. Very nice, accommodating and friendly. -the pitchers of water for the table were great -the building is beautiful. The space is huge. -they have cornhole, volleyball, footballs, crayons, coloring books etc. and the paper cloth was paper, great for coloring. I like activities. -the soap in the bathrooms This is probably a great place in the summer, being right on the bay. Maybe we just came in the wrong season. Maybe we just ordered the wrong things. I'm not sure. But honestly we don't live here and are unlikely to return. read more

Food was excellent. Location was interesting. Great day today but would be pretty amazing in the summer time. Don't overlook this gem.

The pizza was great just needs some minor improving. Drinks were strong. Perfect for people with dogs. The outdoor area is super nice.

Great location. Right on the water. The food was good. Not a ton of topping on the pizza. But did the trick. Wings were good as well. This place is great for the view and coming by boat. read more

Everything was great ! Best sunset in the world, seriously. Staff was nice. Food was good. Nice location. Relaxing.

These pies would totally hold their own in the sea of pizzeria/restaurants in New York City, easily!!! I highly recommend the Hell Fire pizza. The staff was very pleasant and the atmosphere was open and airy as big giant fans are blowing throughout (keeping the air cool and the bugs out) I think I'll be returning again before this vacation to Sodus Bay is over :) read more

A lot has changed in a year since we last visited. I'm not sure if it's the owners? The food was sub-par and they were out of a lot of items, food and alcohol. I like the new seating setup, with the couches. Pretty comfy. We had the nachos with chicken (out of pork) and a few drinks while we hung out on a rainy afternoon. We later ordered 2 pizzas and wings to take back to our campsite. The one pizza was burnt all around the outer edge. I know what brick oven pizza looks like, and that is not it. The wings were $18 and they were tiny! I understand the price of wings has gone up, but they weren't supposed to get smaller. They also pretty much burnt the outside of every wing and then didn't sauce them properly. I think they just threw them in the to go container and threw a little sauce on top. I wouldn't recommend the place for food due to the quality and quite high prices and limited variety. However, if you enjoy a fun place to hang out with a great view and drinks, then this is your place. read more

Definitely recommend! read more

We visited on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. During our visit there was a steady stream of customers coming in but it wasn't super busy. I'd imagine on a much warmer day it's probably quite busy as boaters can dock just steps from the entrance. Staff was very friendly. Casual atmosphere; patrons are a mix of locals, boaters and campers. There's a great view of the water. The menu is a bit limited but the food is good and the portions are large. read more

Great place for families. Lawn games. Live music. Sports on TV. Great view. The wings were great. I ordered garlic parm and they didn't come that way but still good. I I had salt on the rim of my wine glass and dried lime piece so had to send that back. My only other complaint is I asked for milk for my 1 year old and it arrived warm. I didn't think anything of it. When we went to leave I poured the rest of the cup in the bottle and it came out in clumps. Thankfully he didn't get sick because he didn't drink much. Now I know why. Overall good food. Comes out in little Boxes. Pizza was good too in brick oven. read more

Went there for the first time last night. It has such a cool vibe, like being on vacation but not having to leave home. The service was great, the drinks were great (try the key lime martini!) and the food was amazing! The pretzel was huge and delicious. There was really no need for pizza after that but it was just too good to not eat. We will definitely be back. read more

Great beers; lousy food; life doesn't get much better than that in Sodus. Had a great time with family and friends throwing back a few while listening to one of the local artists swaying to the music. The food could have been so much better if they just handed out plates instead of paper. We ordered the loaded nachos which were good except that they serve them in a paper box--ugh....it wasn't long before it became a wet, sticky and soggy hot mess. I'm not sure who's making the pizza, but boy was that bad. I get it; you're five hours from NYC so you're allowed to be bad, but you're still in NY and you just gotta do better than that! If I were Aaron Boone, I'd be clapping my hands together, yelling at you to "get your sh_t together!" But still; at the end of the day, this is a place to drink a few beers and have a good time, which we did. Food notwithstanding. read more

Last year the staff was great. This year, worse service ever. I understand there are new rules with covid. However the staff needs how to learn basic customer service skills. I've never been treated as rudely I was just was. Being nice and explaining the rules or offering help so we would all comply, will go a lot further than a bitchy attitude any day. This is what the bartender's attitude cost the restaurant. First we would have spent a couple hundred dollars on food and drink today. That's a forty dollars tip that the was not given as well. We also won't be back again. We are headed to Captain Jack's now. They will be thanking you for your rudeness. read more

Five of us stopped for dinner tonight around 7:30! Witnessed an amazing sunset! Since we were at the end of a long holiday weekend, they were silks out of wings, pepperoni and sausage!

Wish the best of luck in their new venture! read more

Great location. Great food. Friendly to children. Great tap list. Stop by. It's worth the trip

My boyfriend and I came to this restaurant on a boat because we heard it was new and wanted to try it out. When we first got there the bartender was yelling at another worker to move bar stools around because they "were breaking fire code" and at first I thought she was yelling at us because we wanted to sit at the bar. Quite confusing. So then a bartender asks us what we would like. I asked for a menu and the bartender proceeds to say "we are on a limited menu" and stares at me. I cannot read minds so I still didn't know what to order... She finally explains that they have pizza, wings, and nachos. We ordered their house pizza and garlic-parm wings, and our buddy got the nachos. Everything was so delicious. The wings were absolutely amazing. So juicy and crispy and so much sauce. Another bar tender asked us what we wanted for drinks and my boyfriend ordered a bloody Mary the bartenders "way". It came with a hot dog, bag of chips, and pickle! You are probably wondering where the one star comes into play... Well a couple that we were with ordered two pepperoni pizzas. Both came out very burnt. The bartender, who looked like she was too young to drink, said "Those don't look good to me so if you want we can make you new ones." The couple completely agreed. The bartender took them back. Few minutes later the manager, Melissa, came over. She asked "What was wrong with the pizzas?" The couple proceeded to explain that they were quite burnt. We thought it was so nice the manager was checking in...until.... She then looked at the couple and said "Yeah, I went and looked at them and they looked fine to me." We were all flabbergasted. Someone then pointed at our pizza which was golden brown and asked her if the pizzas looked like that. She had nothing to say. She snapped and said she would make two new ones as she stormed off and our friends had to shout across the bar at her not to bother. The bartender then came back and asked us why were so upset. We explained everything and she started apologizing for her manager's behavior and took the pizzas off the bill. Every other bar tender came to check on us every few minutes after that incident. I would only go back here if I knew Melissa wasn't working. The girls behind the bar are amazing and it is sad they had to clean-up after their boss. read more

Awesome place. Pulled pork pizza is worth the drive. But the ambiance right on the water makes it one of our favorites in the area.

I've been twice, and I hope that things improve by next summer. The view can't be beat, and I really like the atmosphere both indoors and out. However, during both visits the wait staff has been very unorganized and not quick to take our order, or deliver it. Asking for a second beer took even longer. The pizza is not as good as any other wood-fired pizza I have had, it is served a bit "limp". The chicken wing sauce was good, but they could be cooked longer. And the serving size of 7 wings per order seems a bit small. I did enjoy the meatballs. My advice to others is to stop for a visit, but maybe get your drinks from the bar. Unless you are going to spend several hours, and hang out and play the yard games, then the slow service might not matter. read more

We had a very bad experience there this eve. It was our first time there so when we arrived the four of us hung out at the door looking for a hostess not realizing that we were to seat ourselves. We finally settled on a table as far as we could get from the too loud live music. A waitress cleaned up the table from a previous party. We took a clue from another patron and got menus from the end of the bar. We waited for the waitress to return for a drink order but ended up getting a round at the bar and brought them to the table. We waited for another 30 minutes but no one came to get our food order. When we got up to leave we were asked by a gentleman if everything was OK. When asked he said he was the owner. We told him how long we had waited and he explained that he couldn't retain enough help. From what we observed there were three waitresses on staff and two completely ignored us and the one who cleaned our table seemed busy but never came back for our order. When we went down the street to Skippers Landing we saw two other parties there who had left Pier 53. Pier 53 has all the opportunity to be a great bar & restaurant - awesome bay view & great facility. But if they can't manage & prioritize service they won't make it. read more

Came with a group of friends after hiking at Chimney Bluffs and had a great time! The location is beautiful with huge windows overlooking the water and the restaurant is very spacious with cornhole boards set up on the floor. All the staff was very friendly and welcoming to our group. Multiple people came over to check in on us throughout the meal - very accommodating! We all enjoyed our meals and loved the giant pretzel to share with the table. We'll definitely be back to sit outside in warmer months! read more

Stopped by when they first opened. The setting is great. Children and pet friendly. Limited menu and running low on many items but understandable as they just opened. However ordered wings and nachos. Not impressed with the cheese baked on top of the nachos and definitely not impressed with an order of wings coming out as a half dozen for $14. Tasted good but not that good. Hoping for improvement because it's s great spot. read more

Excellent food, service, views and music! This is the best addition to Sodus Bay in years.
