    Dockside seating at Hoops!
    Gretchen D.

    The menu is fish, fish with fries, fish with rice or fish with chips. You get a ticket when you pay and step over to the next window. In exchange for a ticket, you get the most mouth-watering whitefish, fresh from Lake Superior. They're fast and the seating is shady dockside tables. This place is unpretentious and the food and ambiance is amazing. We were here on Sunday afternoon, but the signs say they have live music. Hoops is definitely 10/10!

    De-lish! Such a cute spot to eat outside and watch the fellow boaters, sailors, fishermen. They serve their fresh fish caught that morning until they run out. Such good, fresh lake whitefish. Highly recommend

    Such a fun vibe! Our favorite place in Bayfield. They had live music and we also got to watch the sailboat races! Great view. We ordered two drinks and no food, but this is a really fun spot!

    Fish and chips (and coleslaw)

    My husband and I went on a Tuesday around noon, and it wasn't too busy - about 5 other groups. The service was friendly. I love the simple menu, no long decisions. The view was excellent, and the umbrellas kept the sun off. The fish was good! I could have used larger condiment cups to dip my fish in, but perhaps I could have just spread it on with my fork. We'd go back.

    A breathtaking backdrop for the band

    Holy cow! I would say a trip to Bayfield is in order just to experience the chill lake vibes from Hoop's Dockside. Live music on a dock that extends into the lake. Spots to sit in the sun or shade depending on your mood. Good beer in cans at reasonable prices. Simple, delicious food prepared to order. Service with a smile. For me, this is almost a perfect place. The only change I would make, and mostly it's because I am old, is to turn down the volume a bit on the musicians. I understand the reasons to keep it loud. In fact, had it not been so loud, I might not have found it. As I was inescapably drawn to the sound of music coming from the water. Okay. Maybe one more change? Beers are good and all, and I appreciate that one can get New Glarus everywhere in WI, but if they could find a way to batch some Old Fashioneds AND turn down the music a hair... then it would truly be a perfect place.

    Grilled and fried whitefish
    Erik R.

    Absolutely loved the grilled and fried whitefish here! Tried both and sooooo much better than standard Wisconsin Friday fishery cod. No frills here with outdoor picnic table seating and amazing view of lake superior. Fast service too!! Only downside was no draft beer, cans only. Also, recommend trying the smoked whitefish from the market, the best that I have had anywhere!! Highly recommend stopping here for Lake superior whitefish

    Some of the best fish and chips I've had in the last few years. Friendly staff, fast service and live music were all nice bonuses.

    Grilled Fish and Rice Pilaf
    Michael M.

    They added an unbreaded grilled fish with rice pilaf. It was very good. The classic fish and chips was as good as ever.

    Loved eating by the water and the food was amazing. We got the fried and the grilled seasoned fish. Both were ample servings and were hot dnd fresh

    Perfect lakeside setting

    Very fresh. Very convenient and quick. Perfect setting. We will be back. The fried whitefish and chips were great. Extremely hot day, but the breeze off Lake Superior made it very comfortable

    Adult Fish and chips meal.

    This place is AMAZING! We came in about 4:30 amd the fish was so fresh, you can sit down and listen to live music right on the lake. I will say, It gets really crowded and parking can be a pain. The service was really quick. I do recommend.

    What a location! This small restaurant is built on a pier. Great tasting fish and chips and good beer. Would be a little better with a couple of tap beers. The seating area is great and the music is right next to the water. We enjoyed a good musician while getting the greatest view imaginable.

    Blackened white fish with wild rice and coleslaw- good
    Ben W.

    Pretty great operations with simple easy to understand menu. Choose from three fish options and encourage people to try the not spicy blackened white fish with wild rice and delicious coleslaw for a fair maybe slight high 16$. They had the food ready in 1 minute and it was fresh and hot tasting. Would recommend it to a fellow traveler.

    Two words: Whitefish livers…read more Where have these been all of my life? Granted, I'm a liver eater. Chopped chicken liver is one of my all time favorite things. Duck liver, goose liver, calves liver, cod liver, monkfish liver, sign me up. But somehow whitefish livers have evaded me. These were delicious! I also had what might have been the most midwestern meal ever. Cheese curds with ranch dressing, a plate of whitefish livers, and a sweet brandy old fashioned to wash it all down. On the specialty drinks menu I couldn't resist the Berens Brandy Old Fashioned. I mean, I have been a fan of Charlie Berens for a few years but I didn't realize he had his own brandy for the definitive cocktail of Wisconsin. It was delicious, but it also turned out to be $12. For my second round I just got a regular brandy old fashioned which was also quite good, but weighed in at five bucks. Let the buyer beware. Which is ultimately why Pier Plaza fell short of the fifth star. The prices feel a bit high for what it is. Granted, it's right by the water, in a remote part of the state, and thrives on tourists. And that's fine. I have no regrets and would absolutely recommend folks who might be passing through to stop in for a very Wisconsin meal. Portions are large, so plan accordingly.

But in…read morethat time, I had my first ever Wisconsin sweet brandy old fashioned in Wisconsin and on top of that the bartender saved my night with some good old-fashioned empathy and barroom advice. It's a long and convoluted story, but I was with my minor child who was on the verge of a panic attack and needed to sit down somewhere, we were caught in a thunderstorm, and it felt like everything in town was closed. Probably because it was. Bayfield isn't exactly a late night town... nor does Uber or Lyft function out this way, despite the respective apps claiming otherwise. Morty's was close by. It was open. And I remembered that in Wisconsin not only can minor's sit at the bar, if they are with their legal parent they can even have a drink. Man, Wisconsin is the best! But the kid just wanted a soda, and I could have used a drink. So an old fashioned for me and a Coke for the kid. I shared our story with the bartender, and she offered some sage guidance. In a few minutes my wife arrived with the car to bring us back to our cabin. But let's hear it for the good old fashioned bar that provides both literal and figurative shelter from the storm. Wish I could have stayed longer, but even in my short time it left an indelible impression.

I was just gonna do and grab and go for pie and then get something up the road later. I was thinking man this place must be good for the wait. But oh well. Well when I went in They said they had a Seat ready. Oh okay great I thought:) Server seemed irritated from the get go. Meat loaf was decent. Mash potatoes and bread were very excellent. She brought my food and my drink in a reasonable time frame. But she seemed off. Barely would acknowledge me when she took my order. Okay. I figured it was 4:30 when I got there. She is probably just tired and it's busy. That's was fine. I thought. I asked her if I could get another soda in a few minutes when she brought my meal. She seemed irritated all over again. She ignored me from there on. Halfway through I said excuse me Miss? I was trying to just get her attention since she wouldn't make any eye contact after she dropped off my food. I had the empty glass at the end of the table for about 15 min into my meal. I saw her look over her shoulder and kept walking. I was like did I just see that? Okay. Then I see her bring a milk shake to the table next to me. She went to walk away again. I tried to flag her down again and said excuse me Miss? . She said I will be with you in a minute. With an abrupt dirty look and proceeds to take another tables order. It's a very small dining room which would normally add to the charm of this place. I was done with the meal for about five minutes she then brings me my soda. It seemed on purpose or passive aggressive. Like she was trying to put me in my place or something. It would have been nice to have this while eating my meal. I was thinking what is going on here? I asked her if she could just bring me the check. Why would I continue to ask for pie which was the only thing I wanted anyways after how weird this server was being. She proceeds to slam the check down and she sees I have a credit card in my hand and says pay me when you're ready and walks away again. I was thinking what is happening right now. When she came back I. asked her did I do anything to offend you? She went off. She got defensive and said she did nothing wrong. Do you want my manager? She said . I said no. I just wanted another soda and you seemed to be blatantly me. I don't need your Manager. Then she left and came back and said I don't like being yelled at. I was thinking this is crazy. I was like whaaaaaaaat? That is the one gosh Darn thing I asked for during that whole meal. Heaven for bid if you would give a person water with their meal. I left a $0.00. Usually I leave more than 20%. Wow just wow. The other server in the restaurant was as sweet as pie. She was so nice and friendly. I wished for that server instead. Maybe I would have gotten that darn pie.
