    Stopped in for a quick bite while running around town. They have a cute area out back if you want to sit outside. We opted for bar seating. Hubs had a Guinness and I had a glass of wine. We noshed on fish and chips (delish)! Great local Spot to watch the games!

    We visited this restaurant about two years ago and had some of the best sweet potato fries we've ever tasted. Naturally, we had to stop by again on this trip. While we were there, the restaurant next door was hosting a fish boil at 5:30 and 7:30 PM, so we grabbed a seat outside to watch--it was a fun little bonus! The staff at the restaurant were friendly, and we were seated right away without any wait. I ordered the mushroom swiss burger with sweet potato fries. The fries had a nice crisp to them, but they weren't hot enough, which was a bit disappointing--it made me wonder if they weren't freshly cooked. If you're in the Fish Creek area, I'd recommend trying this spot and sitting outside to enjoy the lovely view of the bay.

    Had a lovely dinner at the very chill and old school Bayside Tavern. I sat at the bar and the staff were extremely attentive. I ordered the Door County Cherry Bomb, which has cherry flavored vodka. It was delish and when in Rome...gotta have everything cherry! I ordered the Rueben with the gluten free bun and upgraded to fries. Everything was delish. My only comment is that the Reuben is served on a paper lined test and I cut up my sandwich which makes it easier to eat but at the same time the paper underneath was getting soggy and ripping and I probably engulfed some paper with my meal. I would prefer a regular plate but I get it's probably easier for the kitchen. Otherwise a great meal and popular spot in Fish Creek.

    Terrific hamburger plain with grilled onions, chips and onion rings. Cheese burger with tomato, lettuce second great choice.

    This was our second visit to Bayside Tarvern after having a great first experience in 2023 with their sweet potato fries--they were perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and served piping hot. We decided to stop by again for a quick bite. This time, I ordered the garden vegetable soup, the mushroom Swiss burger (which comes with sweet potato fries with $5 upcharge), and a couple of drinks. We sat outside again like last time--it wasn't too busy, just a few customers around 5:30 pm on a weekday. There was even a fish boil happening across the street at another restaurant, which made for a lively atmosphere. Fish boil is a traditional in Door County. Our waitstaff, Omer, was friendly but not attentive, he didn't ask how we wanted the burger cooked and refilled water. Thankfully, the burger was juicy but a bit greasy too. Unfortunately, the sweet potato fries weren't the same standout as before. This time, they were lukewarm and lacked that crispy texture we loved on our first visit. Maybe it was just an off day for the kitchen, but the fries were a disappointment compared to our initial experience. A new group of customers were waiting for our table while we were wrapping up the last bite. It appeared that they were told by Omer that we are done. It was strange to have 4 pairs of eyes starring at us and one decided to sit down too. We also had to wait for our check and heard the same group of customers complaining that it took so long. It's funny since we couldn't control that.

    We sat at the bar for a Sunday lunch and had excellent service. The food was great quality. I had the Cajun tuna steak salad. My friend had the broccoli salad. Both were delicious. They had one tv showing sports. There is a large bar throughout the restaurant.

    We've been coming here for over 25 years, and keep coming back for the atmosphere, service, and food. On this visit, we bellied up to the bar early afternoon and ordered our drinks and got in our food order. The place was about 2/3 full when we got there, but filled up quickly on a Monday holiday. We had 2 bartenders tht both took great care of us. Our food was hot, tasty, and came out quick, which has been the norm for us. We'll keep coming back every year.

    This is a great place for very solid bar food. The staff will be open and honest. This is a bar and can sometimes get loud, but the tables on the side, especially in the corner, help a ton.

    Bad Moravian - Pizza

    So far, this place had the best Detroit style pizza I've ever had (disclaimer: I've only had…read moreDetroit style at four places in Milwaukee and one place in Denver). The dough was buttery and fluffy, and the edges of the crust had perfectly caramelized cheese to add a crispy texture. The sauce, cheese, and toppings were all delicious! They serve one size and only Detroit style, so that makes your decision easier. Hours vary, so check their social media page (mainly IG) the week you plan to go. Usually open some combination of Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday from 4pm to 8pm. Plan accordingly and trust me, you NEED to eat here if you like pizza!

    I literally stumbled upon this beacon of pure light during a snow storm. Bad Moravian was within…read morewalking distance from the place I was staying in Door County. There was a snow squall going on, but I wanted a glass of wine and I'd be danged if I'd let a snow squall stop me from getting a glass of red. Blessedly, this place was open, and they welcomed me and my friends, even though we were bedraggled and covered with snow. Bad Moravian is full of vintage furniture and artwork everywhere you look. It's one of those places that you would call "a vibe" (although I would never say those words). You could also call it "hipster," although I'd never say that word either. The decor is just very intentional and aware of itself. I got a glass of Lambrusco, which was nice and effervescent, and nice to sip on while I defrosted. My friends got a glass of Beaujolais and a beer, but Bad Moravian has lots of other carefully curated selections of adult beverages. They also have a small selection of pizzas, which you can customize. We didn't stay long enough to eat, just long enough for drinks. But this is a great place to get drinks. It's cozy and fun.
