    Red, white, and blue drinks!
    Rebecca G.

    The atmosphere alone is a reason to go! Sit on the patio, enjoy the sun and lake breeze! You'll feel like you are in FL sitting right in Okauchee. You'll be surrounded by bright colored tables, chairs, and umbrellas! The service was excellent. Our server was willing to answer any questions and she came back over multiple times to check and make sure that we were doing okay. She was smiling and happy the entire time! For drinks we ordered a kiddie cocktail, patron marg, and another summer drink special that I can not remember :) For an appetizer we ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp which are wrapped each day and only served until they run out. They were delicious, but then everything is better with bacon. The dip is a truffle oil and honey mixture that is oh so tasty! I had the Mahi-Mahi sandwich and the fish was really good, but the bun was just okay and overall there was not a ton of flavor. My son ordered the nachos. He said they were very good and the portion size was decent. The wings were ordered by my younger son and he eats them naked. I did try one and they were very good. I would recommend trying them!

    Grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich missing the sauces and seasonings

    Five of us dined here Saturday night. I ordered the Grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich to take home for my daughter. When I got home, we discovered the Lemon Aioli and Salsa Verde were not included. Nor did it appear to be seasoned at all with the lime rub or salt & pepper. Without these, the fish sandwich was not good to eat - was dry and bland. I called Foolery's to mention this, and was told "I'm sorry those weren't included and I hope this doesn't happen again." I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it seems a gesture of some sort would have been a nice act of kindness for the mishap. Sandwich was $17 + 20% tip.

    Still a boat bar, still able to enjoy drinks and bar food. Good view good outdoor seating (when you can). Yeah, nothing else to say. Go eat drink and enjoy the experience.

    Great night on the lake with my favorite plate of mahi mahi dinner with red potatoes and Cole slaw. The sauce was different but still good. The peach sangria didn't taste very peachy.

    Mahi mahi tacos w/ corn tortilla. Odd they serve all the sides in plastic cups with lids.

    This place was a wonderful place to get a nice meal on the lake! 3.5 stars for sure but rounding down bc the food is just so so. This place is about what you would expect - decent food that isn't particularly fresh or healthy, good friendly service with a beautiful lakefront setting. Came here with my fiancé's mom and dad before we took a boat out on the lake. I got the mahi mahi tacos and some wine. Everything was solid and our server was very nice.

    I've been meaning to come here for ages since my boyfriend claimed these are the best cheese curds he has ever had...needless to say they were a little disappointing, given all the hype. They are perfectly fine, just not the best in Wisconsin. They had a great selection of food and beers - both of the people I was with really enjoyed their burgers. We were able to sit outside overlooking the lake, which was a wonderful view. The service was great, and it was definitely a fun atmosphere. Would come back.

    Half the items ordered we were charged more than the menu price because...reasons? If wings went up in price then have the servers alert you when ordering now when delivering the bill. We were told our cocktails were $18 and then they came back to ask for more money because it's actually $24! Service was horrible, put our name on the wait list and past the time quoted I went to the host stand and waited 20min with no host to be seen. Customers sat themselves ahead of the list and there's plenty of servers who could've helped out. Asked for a manager, was told there's none on duty. Food and drinks were good, but way too many negatives to want to come back any time soon.

Boondocks was the choice for my family and I on this particular day. I got the three piece beer battered cod with smoked mac and cheese and cornbread for the sides. My wife and oldest kid both got plain cheeseburgers with fries and cornbread. My youngest got a grilled cheese from the kids menu with fries and added a piece of cornbread. My oldest son and I also shared smoked wings. The wings come unsauced with two sauces on the side, of which we chose Caribbean jerk BBQ and Texan BBQ. We liked the wings. I prefer jerk rub to jerk sauce, but this might have been the best jerk sauce I've had. It was a little on the sweet side, but still had some heat. Neither of us cared for the Texan sauce. We also used the KC BBQ sauce in one of the bottles at the table and, though not my favorite KC BBQ sauce that I've had, it was good. The little one liked his grilled cheese, though I don't know if he's ever had a grilled cheese he didn't like. The cheeseburgers were not seasoned much, if at all, but at least you could taste the quality in the meat. The fries were more limp than crisp, which my wife didn't care for. I thought the beer batter tasted great, but the pieces were a little soggy on the bottom. The smoked mac and cheese was fine; more lukewarm than hot. The menu doesn't mention it, but it comes with bacon bits on top. The cornbread. Oy. My family are fiends for cornbread and it was a huge disappointment to my wife that it came with jalapeno bits in it, which wasn't mentioned on the menu either. To be fair, they weren't large chunks, but it still affected the flavor of the cornbread. Be aware in case you don't like jalapeno.

Server took our orders and the food came quickly. My wife's Rueben was very good and the Cole slaw was creamy and fresh. I ordered the Tuesday special of boneless wings 69 cents each. Six of each, sweet tai sauce and dry rub bbq. I ordered a side of cole slaw also. I thought I'd be pretty full with a dozen wings but when they came they were the size of the small premade meatballs you'd buy in the grocery store. The tai were just ok, but the dry rub tasted like they were rolled in pure salt. I love salt; but these were terrible. I ate one and thought maybe it was just that one, but the 2nd was just as bad. My wife had one and completely agreed. The server came by and asked how everything was, so I told her and she laughed and said they get that a lot, but didn't offer to replace them. I was hungry, so I rolled the last 3 in blue cheese which barely covered the salt. Another server came by to take our plates and asked how everything was. I told her about the wings and she asked me how many I had and walked to the kitchen. When the bill came there had been no adjustment. Based on my wife's meal it would probably be a 4 star review. Based on the small salty wing balls and disregard of the staff, I wouldn't go back.

The place is veteran owned and has a military flare to the decor. For our area, this is welcome and we have nothing like it. They also frequently have live music, and I do love me some live music. The service has been great both time I was there. I sat at the bar the first time and a table the second...just to make sure the service was great in both locations! Of course bar service is always faster because you are right in front of them, but I will say I did not have to wait at any point to sit, order, or pay. They were friendly and genuinely wanted to make sure everything tasted as good as it looked. When I go to places that run specials I am voted less likely to order off the menu and I have stuck with that philosophy with SteelTank. The first time I had a steak and shrimp pasta. It was so good I could not stop eating it. I ate nearly all of it and had zero regrets, but I was happy I had a few bites left to enjoy the next day. Second stop, Sausage & Pepperoni stuffed Bavarian pretzel. This pizza of the week is delicious! The pretzel is cut in half and stuffed and not hollowed out as most places do. You can see from the pictures it is stuffed and you can taste the pizza. Greens with a pizza you say? YES! So good, the vinaigrette dressing that is on that pretty little salad is making my mouth water as I type! Specials were not mentioned either time I went. The specials are posted on Facebook and that is how I knew about SteelTank and what I should order. That would be my only complaint, when you receive a menu patrons should be told what the specials are - or - post it somewhere so people know.

The only time the waitress came back to our table was to drop off the check. She was surprised when we wanted desserts since she never offered us any. When the waitress dropped off our check she never came back and once again, I had to walk to the bar and pay our check. There were only two other tables of two people in the entire restaurant while we were there. Unrelated to the horrible waitress, $1 for a ramekin of mayonnaise for my hamburger is outrageous. We won't be back for a third time, despite the tasty burgers.
