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!

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!

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

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

Glenn M.

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.

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.

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.

Small family run with great food and atmosphere. The tartar sauce was delicious and the fish was flaky and crispy.

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.

Bayfield is the cutest little town I've ever visited - and whenever I visit a new place I hunt for…read morethe best pasta in town. Menu hunting led me to Pier Plaza (Pickled Herring). The "Pierly Pasta" with it cajuned up was awesome (breadstick included). I noticed they had a horseradish ranch... yeah I dipped the chicken in it and even threw some on the pasta. Game changer! This place - location, ambiance, water view, food, drinks - the whole package!

Look, this should not be a five star review. I was in Morty's for all of maybe 10 minutes. 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.

Pretty decent bar food!…read more Came here for lunch on our way out of town. Great bar food - had the fish tacos and they were okay. I ended up taking them out of the tortilla because the tortilla was dry. I probably would have had a better burger or wings. Great service, great vibes.
