We are in Door County, Wisconsin for the first time ever and we were told we needed to experience a traditional fish boil. Our friends recommended this restaurant in Fish Creek so we made a reservation. Please note that they only do these a few nights a week and many places are closed on Sunday, so plan in advance. You show up 30 minutes prior to your reservation so you can sit outside and watch the boil master prepare your meal. They will put the potatoes down about 20 minutes prior and the fish goes in with 10 minutes remaining. They then add salt and then the final step is kerosene to the fire to get a super hot flame to remove any impurities in the fish. You then return to your assigned table where you will find waiting family style coleslaw and different types of breads as well as melted butter. This particular restaurant has a bar near the outside seating so you can get a drink while you are watching the show. Your hot plate is brought to you with your fish, potatoes and coleslaw. It really is a lot of food and they offered extra at every turn, but what was served was enough for us. As this particular area is known for its tart cherry Harvest, they make the best sour cherry pie I've ever had for dessert. The suggested wine pairing was a Vermintino at $10 a glass. Service was excellent from the many people involved. This was a lot of fun and we are glad we were able to experience this tradition in Door county. Our total bill was approximately $80 before tip. This particular restaurant is located within the White Gull Inn and there is free street parking out front of the hotel
We came here on a weekend evening at 630pm for the fish boil and it was the most excellent experience! We were able to get off the waitlist so I do recommend calling early to reserve your table. You arrive about 30 minutes prior to your reservation time to grab drinks and view the cooking process and hear a bit about the history around this Door County tradition. Then you're seated inside and served immediately. There's bread and a blueberry cake. They do the white fish with tartar sauce and lemon, coleslaw and boiled potatoes. Everything is simple but so fresh and delicious. We ended a great meal with a tart cherry pie topped with a scoop of sweet vanilla ice cream. Basically summer on a plate and just splendid. Our server was fantastic- very attentive to our needs and quickly managing multiple tables. I will 100% return to this fish boil next time.
White Gull Inn does not take reservations for Brunch, so if you are there during a busy time, expect to wait a little while. Our table took about 30 minutes on a Saturday morning in July, so really not bad at all. We were able to browse nearby stores while we waited, and they texted us when the table was ready. It's a historic Inn, so of course it was just as quaint and lovely as you'd expect. I believe we were seated in the original dining room. We did not try the signature blueberry coffee cake due to allergies, but I hear good things. We were offered the last slice around 10AM, so maybe get there early if it is a must try for you. I ordered a tea (they have Earl Grey, lovely), and a breakfast sandwich with hash browns. I was delighted to find vegetarian breakfast sausage on the menu, as veggie anything seems to be hard to find in the area. Everything was delicious, and our server was friendly and attentive. We never felt rushed even though we could tell that they were super busy and probably needed our table right now. Parking can be a challenge, not just for White Gull Inn but for the area in general, so give yourself some time to drive around, and be prepared to walk a bit.
We wanted to brunch at the famous White Gull Inn and, like everyone else on a Sunday morning in Door County, thought it looked absolutely amazing. It was bustling when we arrived, as expected, but we added our names to the waitlist and were quoted about 30 minutes. No problem. We wandered into a few nearby shops to pass the time. Once we got the text, we headed back and were seated indoors, right by the door. Not exactly prime real estate. I had people constantly bumping into my chair, even though it was tucked in as far as it could go. So, not the most relaxing brunch spot, but the charm of the place helped make up for it. I ordered the Door County Cherry pancakes (short stack) with a side of bacon, and a Diet Mountain Dew, because yep, it's a Pepsi place. The pancakes came out hot, fresh, and fluffy, served with real maple syrup on the side. But let's talk about the bacon. I asked for it extra crispy, and I swear it was some of the best bacon I've ever had. I should have asked what kind it was--my bet is cherrywood, simply based on location alone. Our server was kind, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of despite the morning rush. All in all, it wasn't the most peaceful brunch thanks to the crowd and my unfortunate seat location, but the food was fantastic, the service was great, and the setting was beautiful. Hard to stay grumpy in a place like that.
Love this restaurant. Been coming here for years but this was this was the first time coming here after being diagnosed with celiac. The menu doesn't indicate what is GF but the server was very knowledgeable. I ordered a cheese omelette with GF toast and hash browns. Unfortunately the veggie sausage wasn't GF but there were still options I could have. The food and service were amazing as always!
Came here for the famous fish boil dinner..the experience was cool but wouldn't do it again. The "show" was about 10 mins long and the "cool" part was the big fire and then it was over. The dish itself tasted good but it was hard to eat with all the fish bones you had to dig out before eating it. The baked chicken with rice had good flavor. Dinner came with cherry pie and ice cream, Cole slaw and bread at the table. All in all, It was cool to experience once but personally wouldn't do it again.
We went with the family for a fish boil last month (my first fish boil ever) and we had such a fun time! We were greeted at the front and told to go out back to watch and learn about the history of a fish boil. We then moved inside for the dinner, which consisted of boiled white fish and potatoes (with a giant side of melted butter), coleslaw, and assortment of delicious breads. The tables were set beautifully, the service was top notch, and we even got seconds on food -- all ending with cherry pie and vanilla ice cream. The atmosphere was busy and exciting, and we were all very well taken care of. I highly recommend this experience!
On the inner arm of this Wisconsin's promontory that makes up Green Bay, are several beach and lake resorts. The White Gull Inn in Fish Creek, WI was the site of our first fish boil ever, and we could not have picked a better place to kick-off this once in a lifetime feast. We learned about the history and tradition of a fish boils, which is a Scandinavian-inspired meal of fresh-caught whitefish, potatoes, onions, and corn. It was a captivating experience! There is a large cauldron sitting a top a heap of very hot logs with boiling water bubbling over the sides ready to cook anything thrown into this kiln. The potatoes go in first, then the fish then what turns out to be a bond fire. I loved the whole tradition of this feast and really loved the food. The White Gull Inn was the perfect place to enjoy my first Fish Boil!
Thinking of hanging out at the White Gull Inn for breakfast? Their menu has all sorts of good options if you're a little hungry or very hungry. Looking for something sweet? They have it. Looking for something salty? They have it. Coffee? Of course! But also, hazelnut coffee! Cherry juice is also a nice touch for breakfast if you're having some salty food. The cherry juice hits the spot. You may have a bit of a wait, depending on when you get here. Is it worth it? I'd say so, as we don't leave unsatisfied with the service or the food. Their coffee cakes are really tasty as well, and we're usually in the area for breakfast, as opposed to their lunch menu. Sitting outside is a nice bonus when the weather cooperates. The parking can be quite a challenge, so keep that in mind upon arrival. You may want to drop off a party member first to put your name on the waitlist if that's the case, while the other(s) find a spot. After you're done with the food, take a walk to Sunset Beach Park and enjoy the view for a bit before exploring the other areas of Fish Creek and its neighboring shops!
My review is solely for the breakfast; we didn't stay here and didn't stop in for a fish fry. Having said that, it was ok. I think that like some of the places in Door County it may trade on nostalgia a bit. The menu wasn't extensive, and I ended up with a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, and a pancake because nothing else was interesting; I didn't want to have to ask about substitutions or anything for an omelette. I will say that my mom would have been super happy here because unlike me, French toast is one of her favorite breakfast items and they had several types on offer. They had some raspberry coffee cake so we ordered some of that and my little one loved it. Raspberries are her favorite so it was not unexpected. The service was ok, though not super attentive. We ate outside and it was really enjoyable because the weather was beautiful.
Expect a wait for breakfast during the season. But the wait is worth it. An outside coffee station charges you for a cup while you wait (our wait was 90 min). When we were seated inside, the quaint and cozy dining room had an inviting feel to it. Our server was friendly and helpful and made recommendations when we couldn't decide on what we wanted. We settled on some poached eggs, a short stack of cherry pancakes with thick cut bacon and a half serving of apple French toast. The breakfast was delicious, capped by their maple syrup. The cherry pancakes were tasty ambassadors to Door County's cherry harvest. Same for the apple French toast. The eggs were cooked right to order. The prices were reasonable and at check out we added two bottles of the maple syrup for our trip home.
Recommend to make reservations for the Fish Boil. The cook gives a small history background of Fish Boil. It was fun to watch. It was also pretty good. We get fish with side of potatoes and cole slaw. There is lemon and tarter sauce for the fish. Warm butter to pour onto the potatoes or slice of bread from a breadbasket. (Ours came with white, wheat, and gingerbread?). Be careful of bones on the fish. You can ask for more servings. If you don't like fish, then they offer 1/2 a chicken and rice. Dessert was cherry pie and the crust was really good. We also came for breakfast the next morning. Had the Door County Omelette had ham, onions, peppers, mushrooms with chedder cheese and sour cream on top. Was so filling and ingredients were fresh. Also had the hash browns perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside.
Fantastic! I've never had a bad meal here. Last time we were lucky enough to be seated next to the fireplace. Super cozy and romantic for a nice weekend away. We always get the cherry stuffed French toast because how could you not. Service is always on top of it. I've never had an empty cup of coffee here! Can't recommend enough

Friendly staff. Nostalgic setting. Delicious food. Butternut squash soup was very tasty, as was the roasted vegetables sandwich. Giant French toast was delicious, too. read more
My husband and I stayed at the White Gull Inn and ate at the restaurant three times, twice for breakfast and once for dinner. The food was great for dinner. I loved the dinner rolls. Breakfast was hit or miss depending on what you ordered. The eggs in my eggs benedict were overdone, which was a bummer. Prices are high, but that is expected of Door County. The Inn itself could really use an update. It's stuck in the 90s, and not in a charming way. Everyone who worked there was nice. I think we'd return to have dinner, but I wouldn't stay here again (despite the really good cookies you get). read more

I love stopping at White Gull Inn for breakfast! They have the best cherry pancakes and great service. I also enjoy their cherry juice & lime seltzer drinks. Next time I stop in, I want to try their famous stuffed French toast! Note before you go: it's usually a 45 minute - 1 1/2 hour wait time for a table during peak season. I went on a Sunday morning in the middle of October during the Egg Harbor Pumpkin Patch event. They were very busy and I waited about an hour and fifteen for a table for two. While we waited, we checked out the water view and stopped in a few boutiques. The host texted us when a table was ready. read more

This place is 10/10!! My new favorite place for breakfast when in door county! The cherry pancakes are to die for with the best bacon i ever had! The pancakes are so fluffy and crispy with delicious cherries inside the pancakes..sort of tastes like cornmeal? It's heavenly. My bf had the nice guy hash and wow it was absolutely delicious. Super crispy potatoes with mushrooms and cheese. The limpia toast is so good with the cherry jam. Wish i could buy that bread it was that good! Coffee/refills were great! Our server was very attentive. Will be coming back for sure. read more

This review is solely for the restaurant. White Gull Inn is a true Door County classic! You must stop on your next trip. The ambiance is always welcoming, and very decked out for Christmas! My favorite brunch dish is the Door County Stuffed French toast! It's delish! I've also had the nice guy hash and coffee cake, all very good as well! read more
There is no way that this is a highly rated breakfast spot in the Door County area. The food here was really not that good at all. What's not pictured is the omelette we ordered too - the filling wasn't even mixed in with the eggs like how a normal omelette is. Instead, it was more like an egg wrap that had all of the filling in the center. The meat in it looked like something you would get in a lunchables container. The French toast was okay, but it is far far FAR from the best, I could've made a much better one at home. Not to mention, there were flies all over the place. J cannot comprehend how this place has great reviews, it was not a good breakfast. read more

Spent our first breakfast in Door County here based on several recommendations. I'm not really a French toast person but I had to try the cherry stuffed French toast. Oh boy, it was delicious and not too sweet. Thankfully they offered half portions which is a brilliant idea. So glad they did because it was very filling. My husband had the meatless version of eggs and corned beef hash. It was also very good. The service was excellent. It's a big place and busy for breakfast but we were seated within minutes. The ambiance was one of a cozy, quaint country inn. It was a very pleasant experience and we will definitely be back. read more
We returned to White Gull Inn for lunch this time. It's a quality and quaint place, deservedly popular, and that's why we hung around for a 75 minute wait when we checked in for lunch here at noon on a Friday. I couldn't really decide between their BBQ pork sandwich or a brunch item. When our server reminded me that their signature dish was their Door County Cherry Stuffed French Toast, that sealed the deal and that's what I had, with a side of sausage added. Wife had an order of their classic French Toast and a cup of tomato pesto soup, their soup of the day. The stuffed French Toast was a delicious treat, but probably a bit more sugary than I needed. Buut... now I can say I've had their signature dish anyway lol. Wife didn't like her soup as she said it was too much like tomato sauce. We sat in the filled up, cozy, and quaint fireplace room this time. It's alway cool to dine here at WGI, and we may try their fish boil one of these days. We also may try to stay here one day. My man Brandon answered my phone call query about wait times and was working the desk today as he was on our first visit. Overall, another nice visit, except maybe the wait time. read more
Such a nice place... when we 1st got here to Fish Creek we stopped in here bec, so close to our place and they served "fish boils" BUT they were all booked up...period! But the lady there recommended another place, with the phone number, that we were able to get reservations! Now that's nice.... We had breakfast here today, arrived at 7:30am left at 8:45am and there was a "crowd" of people waiting to get in...no reservations! FYI. We ordered egg Benedict (which we don't get often) $14 and they were great; it's the sauce on top that can make or break it and this was so nicely flavored! Service couldn't have been better either...friendly and attentive! read more
The famous French toast is a must. While on Door County, we scheduled to have breakfast here. There were three of us, and we went around 11am and were seated immediately, which was great. Service was top notch and the atmosphere was cozy. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We ate inside. Between the 3 of us, we ordered the stuffed French toast and an omelet filed with just the right amount of peppers, mushroom, cheese and onions served with an English muffin and a cherry jam. One entre was better than the other, meaning both were fantastic, served hot. Waiter brought us is an extra plate. Two of the ladies also had mimosas that they enjoyed. Highly recommend. read more

Best breakfast ever! We go to White Gull every time we're in door county and have been going since I was born! So many great family memories. I love the door county cherry stuffed french toast. You have to have that and a hot chocolate! My parents have always gotten the hearty appetite and I steal some of their hash browns! read more

The cherry French toast is truly outstanding; it's rich, so you may want to share with someone. The egg sandwich with hash brown was also delicious. The waitress was attentive, the seating outside was nice, and without a wait. This was a wonderful, historic place to stop by for breakfast in Door County. read more
I don't understand the appeal of the "famous" cherry-stuffed French Toast. The toast itself is fairly standard (good) french toast. But the stuffing is just basically cream cheese from what I could tell. There was little to no real cherry stuffed inside. So the dish primarily just tasted like cream cheese spread over french toast, which was heavy and unbalanced. The were some fresh cherries served on top of the dish, but they weren't plentiful enough. The sausage that I ordered on the side was standard IHOP type sausage. Tasty and greasy but nothing to write home about. read more
A regular stop when I'm in door county, breakfast or lunch you'll be treated to some of the peninsula's best local ingredients. You shouldn't skip their daily coffee cake - we've had the blueberry and cherry and I vouch highly for both. They are HUGE thick pieces with buttery cake, rich fruit filling, and a delicate crumb top. Definitely not just for breakfast! Their corned beef hash is homemade and perfectly executed with a good mix of lean with just a bit of fat to keep it from being too dry and the added onions and potatoes are cooked to just past crisp so they're tender but not crunchy. The sandwiches are well constructed with an excellent balance of flavors and textures. The open doorwich is a favorite with its melty apples and cheese (we sub the apple cider Mayo out for the honey Dijon mustard). The turkey they use is perfectly smoked and moist either hot or cold. This visit I tried the Pilgrim which shined in flavor with the cherry chutney but I feel would have been improved if it were served hot. The soup thus visit was a hearty chicken noodle with thick homemade egg noodles and a rich broth. The ambiance is delightfully cozy and they decorate beautifully for the holidays and seasons. Lots of old wood, a cozy fireplace, and windows looking out over the rest of the property. A quaint venue for a delightful meal - next visit I'm going to have to try a fish boil! read more
At the recommendation of a relative, we drove up all the way from Greenbay to this restaurant in Fish Creek of the Door County. The recommendation was for the Inn and the fish boils. We did not have enough time to stay overnight here, so our plan was to just explore the beautiful beaches around there then enjoy the fish boils. On arrival, we were so disappointed when we found out that the fish boils was only available on Friday evening. But, we decided to have a meal there before driving back to Greenbay anyway. Well, the dining room was quite cozy and the server was friendly and helpful. We were able to enjoy a scrumptious meal; large portions too. Oh, love their Spiked Hot Apple Cherry Cider with the Door County cherry bounce. Recommended! read more

You could give my 16yo son a billion dollars, declare him exempt from high school or college classes for life, and introduce him to a genie with plenty of wishes; ask him how he felt about it and he'd say "fine." He stopped two bites into his stuffed French toast and said "This is the best thing I've ever eaten. Can we please come back here again?" Rest of the family was also happy. I had the corned beef hash, which was okay; and the coffee cake of the day which was very good. Younger kids asked for (off the menu) chocolate chip pancakes and declared that they were almost as good as grandma's. Wife is celiac and had gluten free toast with a side of bacon. The team was knowledgeable about gluten allergies but there was a fairly limited number of options for her. Service was good - quoted a 20 minute wait and they had us seated in 5. Restaurant has great indoor and outdoor seating space. The inn itself is cute. Well decorated and situated right near sunset beach. read more
