“great tiki bar - Mark is a great bartender“

“The Island House staff is always awesome! Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Shout out to Erica - one of my favorite bartenders on the island. She and Joe (at the Caddy Shack) are the best!“

“When we arrived at 9:45, they were only operating the fryers and pizza oven. We got chicken tenders with fries and a “lickin chicken” pizza. It did not disappoint! Hot and delicious. The bartender was great and very attentive. It was our first time here and we will be back. Great atmosphere too.“

“We were traveling through post-season when they sometimes close at 4:00pm. They graciously invited us in at 3:50. We enjoyed two cold Guinness beers, Shepherd's Pie and hot stuffed pepper soup. A very warm welcome on a cold October afternoon. Thank you from two wandering travelers!“

“Awesome pizza and Italian sub Bartenders are great inside and out Joe and Dean are the best ❤️❤️“

“had a great time at this little local bar. Everybody was nice happen to be there on a Thursday night when they had left right center game had so much fun and met so many nice people will definitely recommend this spot to anybody who just wants to come in and have a great time and meet great people.“

“We stopped here for a quick snack and we're very much surprised. We got the bavarian pretzels and bratwurst, and they were delicious. there is outside seating and the chocolate cafe is inside. the wait for 5 pretzels was reasonable, and we will definitely be returning to the biergarten.“

“Off season so there was no wait. We were promptly seated with a view of the "harbor".Best perch on the island! Perfectly lightly breaded and fried to a crispy crunch but delicate inside! Portions are generous.I highly recommend Mossbacks!“

“The server was very nice. The blue cheese dressing was 75% mayo and 25% blue cheese so all you tasted was mayo. The mushroom risotto was lacking in taste and the perch was fried way too long! When you are preparing lake Erie perch, it requires very little breading and should be golden color. We will be back this summer to try again.“

“Graat place to pull up by boat or the road. River is quick to help secure your boat and does it with a smile! The entire bar and wait staff was friendly and attentive. The food was surprisingly good, I was expecting "tourist" food and got so much more. The menu has many gluten free options,which is very appreciated. The shrimp and scallops meal (gf) was amazing, the scallops were BIG and cooked perfectly. The chicken brushetta meal (gf) was juicy and full of flavor. The fish tacos were very fresh with large pieces of fish and great for a quick meal. The shrimp Cajun pasta was also a hit with our group, a large serving of pasta and I think 6 large shrimp. All of the meals were very generous portions.“

“While in Marblehead for a couple nights we happened upon this local dive bar. And I say that will all due respect, that’s my kind of bar. The area has plenty of pretentious “tiki” bars for the tourists, this is clearly where the locals go for good food, friendly service, and a great atmosphere. We returned for a second night and I was impressed that Liz (our bartender both nights) remember us and what we were drinking. We felt like locals. And Brian did not disappoint when it came to the wings! Absolutely amazing wings! Can’t wait to be back in the area!“

“One of my favorite bars in the country, and for good reason. Great live entertainment, super cool vibe, and legitimate buckets of beer. You spend 50 bucks and you get a bucket of beer and a bag of ice. However, many people are drinking out of the bucket, that's how many cups you get... Plus one cup to act as your beer dispenser. We were a bit shocked at the $50 price tag, so on the second bucket we decided to count how many beers we got... The bucket wound up yielding about 14 beers. If you do the math on that, it turns out that it's a pretty solid value. again the bar has a super cool vibe, friendly and prompt service and during the summer season, the live music starts up around 2 PM. Great way to spend an afternoon in Put-In-Bay!“

“Great strawberry and basil muddled margaritas!! Only reason they're not getting 5 stars from me is because the carnitas were undercooked. I didn't have time to send food back. I do recommend this place! Great bartender! Excellent fast service.“

“We visited here a few times this week (of Labor Day) while staying at the Red Fern Inn in Marblehead. Glad they were open as not much else was- as such, we came over for multiple meals, and referred other guests of the Inn here.The ambiance was the best part. Lots of seating near the docksThe food: the menu seemed limited as I’m sure is common after Labor Day. The lobster roll- a good amount of lobster but lacking flavor overall. The perch fillet basket- good amount of food, perch was nicely, lightly battered, good flavor. The chicken tenders basket (as one evening the grill was closed) was fine, again, a nice amount of food. Didnt get to try the hamburger but another tables looked appetizing.Drinks: looked like a good amount of cocktail choices, we stuck to beer as we had to drive back down to MarbleheadRestrooms were cleanOverall, a few nice visits, would return“

“The bar was ok but the bartenders weren't real friendly. The margaritas were good but they are known for their Bloody Mary's and I didn't like it at all. The food was subpar. Still probably the best dive bar in town. The location is good because it's away from downtown and unique to the area.“

“This place was packed on a Saturday when we stopped with our kids, but surprisingly great service and food! Our waiter was great and helped us figure out the best menu items since we had never eaten here. The food was all amazing! The chicken tenders, brats, kale coleslaw, burger, all was amazing! We would definitely visit again when we are at Put-in-Bay.“
