Good Eats

Excellent restaurant with delicious seafood themed appetizers and entrees. My favorite is the down east shrimp and grits. Best I've ever had! Live music sometimes on Friday and Saturday nights. Bloody Mary bar on Sunday mornings.

After dinner, be sure and stop by the Sweet Spot for some ice cream! The island's favorite ice cream stop, many different flavors to choose from and once you make your purchase, you can enjoy your sweet treat while rocking on one of the rocking chairs out front, watching the traffic and tourists go by.

One of the island's secret treasures where both locals and tourists flock to eat! Amazing food, help yourself beer coolers, and outdoor and indoor seating. Menu is an interesting blend of local seafood and Wisconsin favorites reflecting the owners home state. During the tourist season the line will travell out into the parking lot, but fear not because it moves quickly. The owner or his wife will usually be working the waiting line to get patrons a mixed drink or beer while they wait. *Seasonal - closed Dec.-March
