Excellent place to grab dinner and drinks. I prefer the bar area and always call ahead to reserve a booth there. The appetizers are excellent and the entree's are either great or OK. The owner is very nice! He loves to hear your opinion on the food and if you wait too long to get your food or drinks, he will comp you!! We had a free round of drinks last time and a received a gift certificate the time before! Best place in Manitowoc for dinner. read more

Great place to eat after a visit to the maritime museum. The food was very tasty and service was outstanding!!! Great atmosphere-highly recommended. read more

The place to eat in Manitowoc! John and his team always do a great job from the friendly bar service to the great table service. Expect a warm and inviting atmosphere, good wines and the food is top notch. I had the Rib Eye steak prepared perfectly by the chef. This place is worth the drive! read more

Easily the best place in Manitowoc. Some good choices including smoked salmon. Appetizers were quite good especially the spicy shrimp. Haapy is two for one on the home brews. Try the Hoppy Ending IPA read more

Great restaurant. We sat at the bar, as the place was packed on a Tuesday night. I was really happy with the diversity of foods on the menu, including options for my vegetarian dining partner. My meal was a perfectly portioned cranberry walnut chicken salad with a mustard vinaigrette. It was tender, flavorful, and hit the spot. There were about four things I wanted to try next, but didn't have the room or time. I'd definitely come back next time I travel to Manitowoc. read more

This is a great restaurant for Manitowoc. Their microbrews were really good.. The food was very good too. Although, the waitress was so sweet and said she hadn't been working there long, we didn't our salads or bread without a reminder. It was also a bit pricey for Manitowoc. All that said, they are my new go to restaurant when I'm back in Manitowoc. read more

Been here a few times, the food is pretty good. Great cheese curds! The beer could use some work. Let's try consistently having a good IPA on tap, then we can talk about 5 stars... read more

Absolutely loved this place. Greeted promptly. Waitress never stopped smiling. Food came out quickly and was done to perfection. Fries were crispy and hot. We split the sliced ham and Gouda on wheatberry bread and glad we did. There was plenty for both of us. The beer is pretty damn good too. read more

Though John, the CHP's original owner has retired, the gourmet food & his big influence remains the best on the lakeshore, but now with some several new interesting twists on the menu offerings. Still has the best perch in Wisconsin on Friday nights and the world's best cheese curds that are to die for; But future customers, don't think that John's raspberry dipping sauce is a decoration; This combo of light-fluffy-crunch and sauce is awesome. The service remains impeccable and is presented with unique and personal flare; But that may be because we tend to request Eric, the best waiter in the USA. But if you look around, he treats his other customers with his same Eric-level of professionalism & friendly wit as our table. Brock's wine selections have remained stellar without price increases. Ryan you're doing good! However, the second best food in town, though completely different and unique and always tasty is your alter ego competitor, 'Ryan's on York', but Eric needs to come sub-waiter over there on the days my wife and I visit to have the best soups and/or another new strange menu item to try. read more

First visit, not sure I would go back. Server spilled my drink on me and never said a word, had to ask for silverware and napkins after our food arrived. Waitress never checked back with us we finally went to bar and asked for our check. Food portions were very small but taste was very good...only plus. 3 stars for great taste but my chicken breast sandwich was more like a chicken strip for $11....plus $2 more for a few fries....too expensive for what u get! read more

Traveling to Two Rivers and stopped here for dinner. Excellent food and our waiter, Eric, was excellent!

The retooled menu that was rolled out is great. We are going to become regulars again after a few months absence. There are many items we are excited to try. We are so glad the The Court House Pub is once again an option for date night and special occasions. read more

Great food. Staff always super helpful. Love the caprese salad. Try it with the Susie q salmon!

This place is Fantastic! We were visiting Manitowoc, read the good reviews and decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed! Everyone was happy with their meal. Wish I did not live so far, as I would become a regular! My only tip would be, we went on a Saturday and they seemed to be busy you may want to make a reservation. read more

We were in town to take the SS Badger across the lake. The Pub was a short walk from our hotel. We had a great experience. I had the best scallops I ever tasted. My wife had beef wellington, also delicious. The menu has many more tasty items. We will be back. BTW we had super service from our server Eric. read more

We ate here on a Saturday night in February and WOW! We loved every bite we had at this place and the service is stellar. It is a little fancier than I expected for a 'pub' and a bit pricey I suppose, but I did not regret a dollar I spent here, it was totally worth it. The manager/owner came around to every table asking how things were, and to our table twice. We started with the cheese curds per other reviews (best I've ever had and I've had probably 100 pounds over my lifetime) and the spinach and artichoke dip which was insanely good and alfredo-y. By that time we were practically full but we still had salads (their house salad is a must, has big pieces of strawberries and a balsamic vinagrette that's to die for.) Then our steaks came - perfectly cooked, and just great overall. We can't wait to come back! read more

If your in Manitowoc for any reason and don't mind spending a little extra for a great meal this is the place! Outstanding all the way around. read more

Food was pretty good, the service seemed unorganized and our waitress seemed to want to get us in and out without much time to actually decide what we wanted and not much help when we asked her a question about the menu. For a microbrewery they didn't have much selection of their beer, or any beer for that matter. read more

Our maiden voyage to CHP was incredible! From the moment we opened the door we were impressed with the decor, cleanliness and the ambiance. Friendly bartenders craft a delicious cocktail or serve up a tasty microbrew. We began with the awesome fried cheese curds which were highly recommended and did not disappoint. Our entrées were perfection: salmon, ahi tuna and perch. Tasty and beautiful to the eye. We finished the night with two divine desserts: salted caramel cheesecake and raspberry ice cream enveloped in dark chocolate. I highly recommend both! We had a reservation and were seated promptly on a busy Friday night. The entire staff was friendly and efficient. We will return often! read more

My extended family, two grandparents, four adults, and three young children have very rarely been to a restaurant the we all enjoyed and where everyone liked the food, but this places was amazing. Just after sitting down they brought snacks for the kids: Jello, crackers, and fruit. We went for lunch so we had a bunch of different soups, sides, and sandwiches all of which were fantastic. The cheese curds and home maid root beer were both delicious. We live in Green Bay, but go to the Manitowoc area a few times a year and are already planning trips around this amazing restaurant. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

We stopped at Courthouse Pub on Saturday before going to see a show at the Civic Center. I ordered the special which was a 4oz Ahi tuna steak and a 5oz tenderloin with a side of wild mushroom risotto. It was wonderful! Both cuts of meat were perfectly cooked, and the risotto was spot on. Our server had our food out quickly, and made sure everything was to our liking. We even got a short visit from the owner John. If you're looking for good food, and a nice place to eat the Courthouse Pub is where you should stop! read more

Stopped in for lunch after visiting the farmers market. Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff and great food!

This was an unexpected pleasure! Kelly was an excellent server and steered us in the right direction. Cheese curds are amazing!! Must have their micro brew-heaven! And who can say no to FREE dessert Wednesday!!! Thanks for a great lunch. read more

Excellent food, a great beer selection, and great service. Hard to believe this place is in Manitowoc! The owner is one of the friendliest you'll meet, and he takes the time to make sure you have a great experience here. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent lunch today. Great food, great staff and great beer. We had the cheese curds, Philly steak and cheese, and the Thai peanut chicken wrap. The staff were excellent suggesting food and beer options. read more

Great service, great food. I have Celiac disease and they took good care of me. I believe my waiter was Eric and he made sure everyone with my party was happy and taken care of. When people in my party got an appetizer with gluten in it he had something small made that was gluten free so I didn't feel left out. The food was outstanding and although the kitchen isn't certified gluten free, both Eric and the kitchen took care of it and I felt great after; having no reaction to gluten. Would recommend and planning on going again read more

Great for families! We stopped in on our road trip based on reviews and agreed with all the good ones. First off, everything is very clean including the floors and bathrooms. Our food was excellent (burger and salad) and the four kids meals were great too. The kids appetizer of jello cubes and fruit was a great surprise that kept everyone busy and eating healthy. Staff was friendly and treated us really well. read more

Pricier of all the places we visited on our trip to Manitowoc, but my sandwich was so scrumptious. I finished it a little too quickly and was almost a little sad. Get the pork saltimbocca sandwich at courthouse pub. You will not be disappointed. The fries are also delicious too! read more

My wife and I have been great fans of The Pub for a long time. We had dinner there Friday 10/26, and more than likely will not eat there again. I had the perch, my wife had the salmon, the "special". The plating of both meals was sad! ( I wish we had taken a picture) The salmon was way over cooked , rubbery and dry. My perch were the size of smelt, and maybe I had 10 or 11 small pieces of potato on the plate. Both meals seemed to have been pre cooked and micro waved. It was sad. We have eaten there many times and rated it 5 stars, last evening, maybe 1 star! read more

I love this place - even if just for a burger and beer. I usually opt for the more casual bar seating, and have always found the people to be friendly, the food excellent, and with a good variety of beers. read more

They have great atmosphere, great food. It is pricey.. For a drink, appetizer and dinner for two, you can expect to pay @$60 or more pending on what you order. read more

I would give the staff 5 stars, service was great. It's an eclectic place, bar area is cool with the old poster/wall covering above the bar. The house salad was very yummy, the fresh fish also very good. The seafood pasta I'd say below average, I would not order it again, too oily and way too many sun dried tomatoes the mussels were dry, it didn't have much flavor overall. We had the flourless chocolate cake for dessert which was served way too cold, after letting it sit for a little while it was good though. This is probably the best choice in the area and we would come back here. read more

Visited during vacation. We came here because of the good reviews. Unfortunately we must have come on an "off" night. The food was quite good, but the server was friendly but inattentive. We noticed that all of the tables around us seemed to be in a constant state of waiting for their drinks, food, refills, check, etc. and they didn't all have the same server, so I think it was more of an institutional issue than something to do with our server. Again, it may have been an off night but we definitely didn't have a four star experience like other reviewers. read more

The maitre d was extremely rude and annoying. Did not make you feel welcome and seemed overly distracted. That alone will stop me from going into this place again as we make our weekly trip to Door County. Used to be our families main stop. read more

I've been here a half dozen times or so, never been disappointed. Food is fantastic, well trained staff, and the owner is a pleasure to speak with (John). I'll be there again in 2 weeks and am really looking forward to it. I've never had a bad dinner, so I can't even recommend one over another. They're all wonderful. A great restaurant. read more

Great food...great service...need I say more? You don't want to miss this place, if you visit Manitowoc!

I've eaten here twice in the past three years while in town for the Oshkosh AirVenture. But I definitely agree with the first two reviews. This is the best restaurant in town and was confirmed by the owner of the FBO at the airport. Superb food and good beers. read more

Enjoyable dinner, we started off with two microbrew's and an order of lightly battered cheese curds (served with a balsamic/raspberry dipping sauce), best cheese curds we've ever had, get them! The entree's we ordered we're citrus shrimp & avocado salad, and beef tenderloin steak sandwich, both we're nicely prepared and tasted good. Service was excellent! Again, get the pub cheese curds, you won't be disappointed! read more

Excellent quality of food and portions. We had the hot ham and Gouda with a bowl of the soup du jour (that's the soup of the day) and the lunch special (pesto mozzarella burger). Great food, worth a visit! read more

Great ambiance, great food, and great service! We enjoyed our evening! We were in the Judges Chambers and even though the restaurant closed down we never felt like we needed to pack up and leave. Our waitress was friendly, accommodating, informative, and personable. The food was delicious from the soup to the salads to the entrees to the desserts. We definitely understand why this place receives 4 or 5 stars. A great place to visit and enjoy! read more
