Cool place, not much seating but it's a total towny bar. The fish is hand breaded- we could see them hand breading it. So light and flaky but oh so delicious. Potato pancakes just like the Germans make! Applesauce upon request. I'm going to say it- some of the best fried fish I've had. read more

Sinissippi Lake Pub - 4 piece cod with potato pancakes - Pubs Near Me - Hustisford, Wisconsin

Best fish fry in the area. Nice ambiance, but we usually get it to go. I was disappointed last week when I called to place an order because they no longer take phone orders. It seemed inefficient to me because I took up needed space while I waited... but still worth the wait. read more

Great spot in a quiet town! The bloody's came with all the snack goodness you could want and were excellent. Our server was so nice and I punctual. Nice view from the patio overlooking a lake. The menu had a lot of choices. Wish I could have tried a bite from everything! Ended up going with the special of the day. It was truly a panini which I was pleasantly surprised with. I wish they had added more pesto. I couldn't taste any on my sandwich. Fries and cheese curds we ordered were top tier! What a great spot to grab a bite!! read more

Sinissippi Lake Pub - Bloody Mary - Pubs Near Me - Hustisford, Wisconsin

Sinissippi Lake Pub was around the corner from our Airbnb. We had dinner there 5 nights in a row. We would have eaten there 6 nights in a row but they are closed on Sunday. The food is American Bar cuisine at its best. We didn't order the same meal twice. They were all very good. My wife said the Ruben sandwich was the best she's ever had. The staff were friendly and attentive. There are many draft beer options. read more

We've been here twice for drinks and both times it's perfection. Staff is attentive, friendly, and overall welcoming. Views are great and the food looked amazing. We will be back to try the appetizers and burgers! read more

Had the cod sandwich - it was absolutely delicious!! Our server was also very friendly and personable. Will return any time I'm in the area again. read more

Recommended by family and couldn't be more happy. The service was quick and very helpful. The food, Friday Fish Fry (had the perch), was amazing. Potato pancakes were on point and the Bloody Mary was oh so delicious. Very quaint place with an awesome lake view. Only disappointment was the pull tab machine wasn't working. FWIW, my wife had the cod and it was equally amazing read more

Love this place! A hidden gem that is off the beaten path....but well worth the trip. Have never had a bad item from the menu.....but our favorite (by far) is the Perch Fish Fry with potato pancakes. The place is always bustling (especially in Summer months)....and the wait staff is incredible. Be warned....it can be busy at times, but is worth the wait. Great lake views make this place a destination worth stopping for a quick bite to eat or a enjoying a refreshing adult beverage. read more

Service was quick as they were not busy. Drink sizes were large, alcohol content was small. Brandy old fashioned was more or less sprite with a splash of brandy. Chess curds were good. Ambiance was slightly better than most Wisconsin bars, slightly. read more

Oh i wanted to like this place. My daughter and I were up from Milwaukee and recommended this place. We went ordered a drink and were instructed to go outside. The bartender poured my wine from a Bota box and handed it to me along with a menu and silverware. The sun was hot so we put up the umbrella on the table. Within minutes two women came over and said they had to take the umbrella. When I asked why, one said "I'm not sure how to say it." The other who seemed to be her senior swiftly came over and began taking the umbrella. I asked again. She said she just needed to. I said is it the wind? (There was little to no wind.) They chatter amongst each other and wouldn't answer. I asked again. Finally one of them said something about how the wind can tip over tables. I said that's weird - I've never seen that happen before- and again, THERE WAS NO WIND. The tables were super heavy and the umbrellas anchored. She became combative and said "Rrally? is this your first time sitting outside by a lake?" I live on a lake. I often frequent places on Lake Michigan. With much stronger winds. She was rude and dismissive and we had no protection of the sun. When the other servers came out they were upset. "Why did they take down the umbrellas again?" I understand if there's a wind but she treated us like crap. The other server was kind. Sadly I won't be back. read more

The hostess is a heartless creature. She was stressed out due to the crowd, and took it all out on those that were providing her with the very opportunity to earn her living. We waited twice as long as they told us the wait would be (no problem . . . they WERE hopping!), but when our number came up they tried to put one of us at the bubble and the other one at the bar (45° angle from each other). When my wife asked about getting either a table or at the very least two seats where we could sit next to each other to talk, the hostess scoffed and said "these are next up". We decided to head over to the Lake Street Inn (which was EXCELLENT!) and as we were leaving the hostess said "cya guys!" (For the record, my wife "self identifies" as a girl). It's just a shame they made us wait 45 minutes to be offered a place to eat where we wouldn't (and couldn't) even be able to converse during the meal. Just not cool, people. read more

If you only go for drinks you'll be glad you did. The staff was excellent, fast and friendly! I had a cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese, gin and tonic and beer battered homemade onion rings-all very good. Extra shout out for the bun, it's tasted great! Thanks read more

Great people great service food is good and beer selection is pretty good too! Highly recommended read more

I've been coming to this place for the last two years as this is the only good spot in Hartford for dining. There are a ton of options for food, but it is mainly all bar food like nachos, burgers and sandwiches. My favorite was the jalapeno burger, and I also enjoy their nachos. In the summer time I love to dine on the patio in the back since it's overlooking the lake! With a plate of fish tacos- a super popular item- or a fish fry on Friday with delicious potato pancakes, life feels good. My sister also loves their chicken ranch and chicken Caesar wraps! The prices are okay for what you get. I think it could be lowered a bit, but overall it's a decent price. read more

Fabulous food ... AMAZING wait staff and bartenders!! The wings , burgers, chicken sandwiches, reubens.... All so so good!!! The CrabCakes are thee BEST!!! We have never had a bad meal or bad service!! Everyone we bring to the Pub raves and can't wait to come back!! read more

Excellent food - a reliable hidden gem in this area. Have been dining here occasionally for years and never disappointed.

This is my favorite bar and restaurant in the area. We live on the lake and it is great to be able to drive our boat to their pier. The owners and the staff are all very friendly and welcoming. I am a bit of a fish fry aficionado, and theirs is really good - be sure to order it with the potato pancakes because it is the best part. I have tried nearly everything on the menu, and the only thing that has been disappointing is the nachos, which were just okay - they reminded me of the ones I make myself at home on a cookie sheet. They have a good variety of craft beers on tap, and usually have some interesting craft cocktails on the specials board. I recommend the Brown Sugar Bourbon Old Fashioned. Also, they serve their mixed drinks in pint glasses, and what's not to love about a 16-ounce cocktail! I noticed that there are some old negative reviews on here. New owners took over in the Fall of 2019, so as a reader I would disregard any reviews that were older than that. read more

Still love this place. Best bloodys ! Tried the western burger, Cajun fish fry, and clam chowder this time. Absolutely delicious ! read more

Living in Hustisford, there aren't too many options for food, so we come often to Sinissippi Lake Pub. But that being said, when it comes to choosing a place even outside town... Sinissippi delivers on quality! For my money, they have the best burger in Dodge County, excellent bone-in wings, and if you want something a little different, try the fish tacos. Also, don't sleep on their Sunday morning brunch specials! Service is always polite, but it is true if things are busy it tends to slow down. To that I say have a drink, and enjoy the view from the back patio while you wait! read more

This is my first time being here and at the beginning the food looked good, people seemed nice including my server. Then we were sitting, waiting for at least an hour to get our food. We noticed once we got our food and ate one half of the Ruben when we noticed mold on the bread. We decided to let the server know when we saw it and we tried not to make it a big deal at all! The server then went to go grab her boss when the boss proceeded to come over to the table and try and tell us this mold was a "seed" when the mold was clearly green and not a seed. This lady was in our faces yelling at us this was not mold, and trying to convince us that this was a seed while yelling in our face that we were not convinced. She ripped the mold off the bread and went outside and still tried to tell us this was not mold. She did not even offer to give us this for free or take it off the bill at all, she offered to get us a new Ruben after we have already waited an hour for the first one, but in the rudest way possible. She never once apologized! I have never seen someone talk to their customers like this let alone a boss of a restaurant. read more

Best fish fry around! Really good atmosphere and amazing staff. We frequent here on fridays and have never been disappointed. The clam chowder is really good too. read more

Love everything about this place! The food is always delicious and if you go the night of a special you're in for a treat! Not only is the food delicious they've recently added a new drink menu with lots of delicious seasonal drinks. The bartenders are always super friendly and the owners really seem to care about the community. Last night they had bacon wrapped shrimp with linguine and sausage as their special and it was so delicious, see picture. I'd definitely recommend to anyone! read more

Sinissippi Lake Pub - Bacon wrapped shrimp and linguine with sausage - Pubs Near Me - Hustisford, Wisconsin

While the food is typically very good, coming here is not worth the absolutely terrible service! We have gone time and time again only to be frustrated and disappointed at the time it takes for a server to even come to take a drink order. The waitresses can't manage their time and do not respond with any ambition. Because the food is generally good, we started only ordering carry out to avoid the awful service. Service is so bad, they couldn't even manage to answer the phone to take an order despite our multiple phone call attempts for over 20 minutes. Despicable. Avoid this place for food. read more

Perfect bar for boaters on the lake. Food is very good, especially the wings and apps. Good selection of beer and friendly staff. What more would you want. read more

I've stopped here numerous times in the last year after moving into the area and have had a great experience. They are friendly and courteous. The food is great. read more

Finally tried this place on advise of our neighbors! Fantastic! The atmosphere is lovely and the food wonderful. We had the fish tacos! My new favorite! The Mozz sticks were very good also! Service was good, the remembered us Sun after coming in Friday night! read more

Ok, I've been here several times since my first review. Never had a bad experience. They have an amazing Rueben that rivals Jakes in Milwaukee and that's saying something. There are times there's a wait but REALLY people you're on a lake. Take it easy, relax and have a cocktail while you wait. Those that said the staff is rude...I personally think are over sensitive. Can't even imagine these people being rude. Seriously, give it a try!!! read more

My husband and I bought a house nearby last May and this continues to be our favorite local hang out! The food is good (excellent fish fry) and the atmosphere is fun and friendly. It's a tad small/cluttered, but that's kind of out their hands so no big deal. I gave it four stars because we ate on the back deck twice and it was pretty dirty with food/spilled drinks on the ground and tables, which attracted a lot of bees. Otherwise, it's a great place with good friendly staff! read more

Will not return. Very poor service. Staff is unorganized, tending bar & waiting on tables. Its no wonder they cant get it together. We had our name on a waitlist, and still got passed up for a table. Follow the waitlist and that should not happen. I would give this "no star" rating. read more

We love this place. Been coming here for just over a year now and the food is outstanding. The staff is super friendly and you can tell there is a real friendship between them. They make you feel like you are part of their crew and it is good vibes all around. A lot of packers fans but still worth it! read more

Great food, great service, and great view of the lake. We tried the pub for the first time last Friday for lunch and the fried perch was amazing. Our waitress stopped by the table often and was very professional and friendly. We'll definitely go there again and would recommend it to friends. read more

There were 5 in our party and it was our first visit. We absolutely loved the great food but the staff was even better! It is a very busy place and really fun. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that is was a little too crowded and I usually try a place twice before I rate a 5. read more

Great fish fry, arrive early if you want perch, which is what I had, with potato pancakes. Service is a bit wonky, rather disorganized, but nice and friendly. The view of the lake from the deck makes the visit worthwhile all on its own. read more

Horrible service, owner is rude, unfriendly and disorganized. Not professional and not in her best interest in a small community like this. Food is mediocre, but Service and rude owner trump anything the food had going for it. read more

First time visit for me although my wife has been here several times with friends. The place is very clean. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious. We asked them to add the coleslaw that came with it when ordered as a wrap. Our waitress was very friendly and took good care of us even with a packed house. Only small complaint is the bud light sign is really bright and if seated looking at it can make you feel a bit like you're on stage. Will definitely be back to try the other couple of items that were on the menu that didn't get picked tonight. Fish taco's & the brisket sandwich. Of course, Spotted Cow on tap is a big bonus read more

So glad you're on Lake Sinissippi. Our breakfast was excellent. We loved the loaded hash browns and the special, Steak Oscar. The Scotch Eggs looked amazing. Great service, beautiful setting and wonderful food. Great transformation, you deserve 5 stars! read more

Very disappointing I've never had such service nobody even a knowledge we were there I used to love coming to this place but no more

We are a divided house when it comes to enjoying the Sinissippi Lake Pub. My husband loves it and I dread when he wants to order it. First of all, they never answer their phone. If he is ordering take out from the Pub, we have to plan an hour in advance because it's an average of 15 minutes before he can get someone to pick up the phone. Other times, he's gone down to sit at the bar and order his take out food, which just defeats the purpose. As I've mentioned in a different review, I'm basic in that I like a cheeseburger, well done. The Pub cannot cook a well done burger if their jobs depended on it. They have a knack for charring the outside, but that doesn't mean the inside is cooked. I'm always disappointed when I order a burger from there, so I've actually stopped. If we're ordering the Pub, I'll now get fries and eat some mozz sticks. Those are the only positive things about the place at this point. But I'll say it again, my husband LOVES the Pub and LOVES their food, so they just need to figure out how to nail the basics and maybe I'll come around. read more

Love coming here for a quick bite. Always have great service and a friendly waitress. Many different options for food. Great burgers and chicken sandwiches. The George burger is a favorite of mine. Highly recommend this place for great food at a good price! read more
