Came on a Saturday with 11 people. They do not take reservations. We called a head and they did hold a place unfortunately another big group got it but the immediately found us another place. Our server was great and kept us informed. It was a very busy evening but it was nice sitting outside and looking at the lake. Cheese curds and fried pickles were good starters. Everyone liked their meals: shrimp tacos, prime rib, turkey wrap,Caesar wrap, wings, ribs, and Ahi sandwich. The winner was the Ahi sandwich for sure. Only issue was my meal arrived so much later than everyone else's. But they took meal off bill. All in all we liked the vibe with live music and lots of families and groups around us. And despite the one snafu would come back read more

The cowboy burger was amazing and the hot beef was hugh. Will definitely go back again. read more

Lots of food choices, but prices are way to high for us locals. Example: 8 pc. Chicken ONLY $26. Opera House in New Lisbon has it for $16. Where would you go.? read more

Cute little local place. It's close to our Airbnb so we stoped in for dinner. The wings were pretty good, normal bar wings. Crispy and not too small! $20 for 2lbs. We tried the Nashville hot and sweet chili sauce. The Nashville was great if you like a little spice! I honestly wish there were more sauces to try. As for the cheese curds they were low grade like Culver's. For $12 a basket I would've expected better. The marinara was served cold which would have been better warm. I'm sure this is an amazing place in the summer. It's located right on the lake which I bet is pretty to see! read more

This restaurant is a GEM! Great food, sports on all tvs, wonderful service and family owned and operated. The fried chicken is outstanding, burgers absolutely delicious, love the grilled shrimp tacos too. Really you can't miss. Absolutely recommend stopping in for lunch or dinner. Summertime live music on the weekends too. read more

Really cute spot and good service, but that's where it ends. Tables and menus were dirty (a piece of lettuce fell out of mine and greasy prints all over) and the food wasn't good. Our pork tacos arrived cold. Margaritas tasted like they came pre-mixed. read more

Good food and a nice view of the lake. I've eaten here numerous times and I enjoy it very much. Relaxed atmosphere in the winter and a nice party spot in the summer. Good service and friendly people. read more

Enjoyed the Taco El Pastore. Hubby had Hamburger with barbecue sauce fries and I had fries very good. However: As good as the Bloody Mary was, waitress should ask what size! $10.50 is alot for the large. I was not given a choice. Just alot for Sr budget. Beer Chaser is a must in WI, shouldn't need to ask. AND. big olives are outstanding but the Olive with the "red pepper" looked linda kinky, but whatever, was filled with seeds and hotter than hot!! Glad I know my Peppers could have been a horrific shock if eaten. We will be back as we do like the choices. ONE MORE NOTE: Please make sure the Foid is HOT not lukewarm.....sitting to long OR put under heat lamps. Thank You read more

Highly recommended. Our all time favorite restaurant on castle rock lake. Wraps are top- notch! read more

A nice lake front restaurant with out door seating. We were there at noon and hit a really busy crowd of bikers. Things were slow but eventually got our food and drinks. No big deal it was a nice day. Food was average bar food but have been told it's much better when not so busy. There was a major detour to get there so check before you go. read more

Very busy on a Friday night, but worked in a large group, helped us pick out food, and then decent service. Fish fry was very good! Kids enjoyed running around and playing with frisbees! read more

This restaurant has it all! View, deck with outdoor seating, lake access, two bars, inside and outside, great menu with variety , quality and friendly service. You can count on them to be open every say with consistent hours. The daily specials are outstanding! My favorite menu items are the Reuben sandwich, French onion soup, grilled salmon and fish fry. read more

Great food, drinks and service! I greeted myself with complimentary popcorn near the entrance. Yum! We sat at a table by the bar for lunch. Their blood mary was fantastic! It's served in a pint glass and was garnished with beef jerky, celery, green bean, pickle, olive, mushroom, pretzel, asparagus, and brussel sprout! That's pretty much lunch in a glass. They also had other specialty drinks listed on the wall. The Trivers' warm & gooey chocolate chip cookie is a must have! They were delicious and even more when dipped in the side of frosting that came with them. The deep fried green beans were also good. read more

Not sure what happened, but we cannot afford to feed a family of 4 here anymore. 1 order cheese curds ($12) 3 sandwich entrees with chips included ($16 each), 1 kids meal ($7), 4 waters = $74 ( plus tip made it $88) Shipwreck, you raised your sandwich prices by $4 each from last year. Our favorite spot to eat on Castle Rock Lake. But you "wrecked" our budget and we'll not be back for the season. Tasty food and excellent service. Compliments to your employees and I wish them the best of luck! They deserve loyal customers who can come again and again. I just didn't know how wealthy those customers needed to be. read more

My family rented a pontoon boat at Castle Rock Water Sports next door to this place on the lake. After a morning of boating, we came back to dock and have lunch here. Great place on the lake to eat. Beautiful view and awesome outdoor patio with picnic tables as their outdoor booths. Our server was fantastic. Food was good. Onion rings were awesome!!! My wife and I had the corned beef Rueben sandwiches. They were good, but not made the way we like a Rueben. The corned beef was served on the sandwich kind of like a pulled pork sandwich. I didn't like it that way, but that's only my preference. I like the beef sliced on my Rueben sandwich and this one was not like that. The sandwich did taste good and I enjoyed it, but just not the way the meat was served on the sandwich like pulled pork. My son had the hamburger and he enjoyed it, as well. We all had the onion rings on the side and they were fantastic. Highly recommend the onion rings. Can't beat the view or outdoor patio here. I would recommend this place to eat. Nice family atmosphere. read more

We go here all the time! Incredible food and atmosphere! Love the owners and staff! Can't go wrong by visiting Shipwreck Bay

Went with family who was in from out of town and loved that they could accommodate our larger parTy right away. We know it's the off season, so f you are coming in then, do not sit by the door! It was super chilly at night and the kids go running in and out (that part we don't mind!) Service was awesome, I wish I could remember our waitress name. Main entrees were great. Food came out as ordered. Word of the wise, don't order your burger well done. Go with a medium or medium well. Our apps were short 2 of the dipping sauces for the pretzel and sweet potato fries had potential, but were a tad over cooked. Other than that, great experience overall. read more

If i could rate this place with half a star or less i would. They don't change their oil for their friers for like 2 weeks, manager/owner yells at his employees calling them "pos" "losers" "idiot" "worthless" and every other name in the book, if you ask me that is some really poor management and ownership. they place old food that is not good anymore and place it on top of new food, and they make everything a week early so your getting food that is just reheated and a week old. read more

Great experience Awesome atmosphere great food and service go here often never disappointed one of the very few restaurants you can count on being open year round ... read more

This place has gone down hill to say the least. For over 10 years I have come here. Every year it gets worse and worse. Today I went to enjoy a cocktail with my family and as I walked in the door, some blonde entitled employee who I held the door for was COMPLETELY RUDE!! Didn't thank me or even acknowledge me. We own a house down the road off the lake and this is the last time we will go there and the last time I ever recommend any of my renters there. Food is overpriced now but least of my concern. Service sucks. And when I spoke to a manager, his first statement was" well you guys don't look like your from around here". Um ok?... I guess only people who live here 365 days a year deserve good service and respect. never another dime. read more

When we got here everything seemed pretty good, friendly staff and a good homey environment. When we sat down we looked over to the right of us on the floor and there was a large pile of dog puke... the entirety of the time it was just there on the floor. Not to mention the very friendly culprit that was roaming in and out of the kitchen. just saying.... Maybe not the cleanest environment. But if that kind of stuff doesn't bother you everything else was okay. read more

3/17/2018. St Patrick's Day Came for the corn beef and cabbage dinner after church. They started serving at 11 am. We got there about 11:45 - 12:00. There was only 3 people there when our group of 7 arrived. We all wanted the corn beef special but was told that there was only enough cabbage left for maybe 3 dinners. My wife opted to take coleslaw instead of cabbage. I told the waitress I would take 1/2 the amount of cabbage as did 3 others in our group so we all could have a little cabbage. Waited about 1/2 hour before food started coming. One couple was getting ready to leave. I think this was to get us to get more drinks from the bar. Corn beef and cabbage is made ahead of time and in steam table. No reason for a wait like that. Know read more

came here on vac from Illinois.saw the menu here and it sounded great! I ordered the Mac and Gouda nuggets,ship wreck burger,fried pickles and a side of gardinara (spelled wrong lol ) .the pickles were fresh in house and great,the burger wasn't bad.for some reason they gave me a small bowl of Mac and some fries instead of the bite I ordered. The Mac I'm not even sure it had cheese on it or it was really light. Never got my peppers on the side. I ordered my burger well done.it still had pink all along the edges but was still pretty good.it's just a shame they didn't have the order right.my wife for the cod tacos.she seemed to like them read more

Had probably some of the best pizza and apps ive ever had. Very warm bar. Service was also top notch . Will be back

Been here a couple of times. Fun local bar! The food is always good! Great Friday fish fry! Delicious chicken philly sandwich. Food is priced good! Always busy at dinner time! The owners walk around and make sure you are happy with what you ordered! Definitely will be returning next time I'm up north!! read more

Food was wonderful! Our server Jackie was friendly and accommodating! Would definitely recommend!

We walked in with 26, unannounced and no reservations. They seated us promptly and proceeded to take our drink orders. They only had two waitstaff and they did a phenomenal job! Kudos! We got our drinks fairly quickly and then the staff started the orders, as the completed a table they ran the order back. Apps, drinks, and then the food. Everything was great portions and tasted great! The outdoor deck, bar, gazebo would be a great place to enjoy drinks and grub during the warmer weather, this evening it was too chilly to sit outside. If I'm ever in the area again, I will be here. PS - Try the fried chicken, it was great and you can get buckets to go. :-) read more

Ok I'll be honest. I've worked here about three days. The kitchen is clean and well maintained, drinks are heavy, proportions are large. But I've only had a negative welcome there. The hosts, Scott and Brian do not seem to care for the safety of their employees. Ive witnessed the hosts providing a positive environment for a customer who negatively reacted to a bartender sexually after being asked to leave. I've heard racist comments from employees. Most of the cooks are under the age of 21 and are very immature, some dont care of the quality of food, or if the food is returned, or more customers show up near kitchen closing time, they only complain and care less of the quality and worry about the speed of closing the kitchen up. And for COVID standards, no cooks wear a mask, some waitresses do. No one is tested before entering the building. No signs are posted asking customers to wear masks, posing a threat to workers. No hand sanitizer or masks are offered to customers or workers, only hand soap. Also I've witnessed a safety hazard. A cook was using a compressed butter spray as a blowtorch, up near the vents for the grill, stove, fryers, and pizza ovens, almost setting off the safety system which would have made a huge mess. They should really review potential employees for more experienced workers, and defend the bartenders with either a weapon, or a bouncer, or some type of defences that would actually help them in a scary situation. Not just cameras to watch what happens, out in a secluded location like that, there should be more security in my opinion. I dont care if this gets me fired. People deserve the truth. read more

Shipwreck Bay - It's actually my house, but looks kinda like shipwreck XD - American Near Me - Mauston, Wisconsin

This bar is the definition of summer. A few of us drove up to the Dells for a fun weekend escape, but stayed a bit north to avoid the tourist traps. Found Shipwreck Bay on Yelp and it was everything we hoped it would be. The bar is essentially a massive covered deck right on the lake. The deck is referred to as "Jack's Deck"; Jack is the old man owner (and most adorable human of time). Cue many, many references to Jack's big deck. Jack himself was having an amazing time, and interrupted the band twice to tell everyone at the bar how much he loved and appreciated us, and how his bartenders and servers were amazing people and he loved them too. I would go back here just to hang out with this cute old man. We came on a Saturday and the live band was the absolute shit. The crowd is a mix of locals and out-of-towners, all getting along and dancing their drunk little butts off. All ages partook in this dancing. We had dinner here as well, a casual pizza and salad. Pizza was quite delicious. Cheese curds were good but the order was surprisingly small (our only complaint of the whole night). This place rocks. Come here with friends, you'll have a blast, enjoy the sunset, and dance your tush off. Bring a volleyball if you have one for the sand court right next to the deck. Don't wear anything too fancy. And make sure to say hi to Jack! read more

Food is great, but be careful when ordering drinks from certain bartenders. They'll look you up and down, make side comments about other guests and basically throw your drink at you if you're not a male customer. read more

Shipwreck Bay - Nice view - American Near Me - Mauston, Wisconsin

Went to Shipwreck for dinner with the family while on vacation. The ambiance is very bar-centric, with a band playing popular rock 80's hits outside, and a family themed diner inside. The view of the lake is beautiful. Overall service was good. They don't do free refills on soda, they just give you the can, so be wary of how much you order. I ended up getting the Norwegian Salmon Filet dinner, which came with salad (and choice of coleslaw) choice of potato, and a fresh, hot loaf of bread. (Which was shared among the table) The Salmon was marinated in a hot, creamy butter sauce, which was very delicious. The majority of my family had the prime rib and burgers. No complaints there. For dessert, we tried the chocolate chip cookie balls. They were okay, the dough just felt a bit undercooked. Our server was really nice and able to deal with a large group of people. Service was fast. Overall, Shipwreck was definitely a two thumbs up for me. I would definitely recommend anyone in the New Lisbon area to come here. read more

There was nothing wrong with this bar when we arrived. Atmosphere is steller. The drink and food menu were extensive and looked pretty good. We were happy sitting outside with the lake and music. The view on all angles was good. It was friday night. I ordered all you can eat fish and the wife ordered salmon. It took an hour and a half before we were served!!! No explanation or apology. Seemed like that is the norm I guess. During the wait I switched to a diet coke so I didn't get too loose and lose my wallet. The fish came out and was okay. A slight fishy taste means not fresh. I ordered deep fried and brolied. The deep fry was better. Wife's salmon was okay. All in all if they fix the timing and food, the friday night at the shipwreck would be a awesome night. Cost us a good penny too for where we were and what we got. read more

Amy Amy Amy! What an incredible service experience. The food was excellent but Amy really made our time sparkle. She runs that place like a champ. I watched her not only with us but with other tables and I was so impressed. She made recommendations from the menu that were on point and I even heard her check on the cooks to see if they needed anything to drink. Great atmosphere, very clean, good food and I can see this place being awesome In the summer too :) loved it! SEE YA AT THE WRECK! read more
