Went in on a Monday afternoon and had some great drinks, some amazing appetizers and fabulous service! I think the service was much better than expected and our server went over and above to recommend some great beers and wonderful appetizers. He was a great in giving recommendations & stuff to do around town.

Tacos

The tacos I had were very good, my wife had the Mushroom & Swiss, she said the burger was really good. We sat at the bar and the service was great. It wasn't too loud for lunch, we could carry on conversation without any problem. I would recommend Morty's if you're looking for bar food.

Fish Fingers and fries - A plate containing fried fish fillets, crinkle-cut French fries, a small portion of coleslaw, and a lemon wedge is placed on a table. The plate is lined with paper, and a drink is partially visible in the background. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment at Morty's Pub in Bayfield, Wisconsin.

Many great menu options. I had the Fish Fingers and I was surprised at the quality & freshness of the fish. These aren't your normal "fish n chips" - this was more like little breaded & fried filets - they were great. Our server was awesome and so friendly. The place was very clean and in great condition. Bayfield is such a pretty & quaint town.

Crab Rangoons after I sent them back and requested some that were less done.

Worst dining experience I've ever had. We had 5 meals. 2 chicken strip meals, 2 burgers and a fish taco meal, one pop, and one white claw. The server asked us if we wanted fries or tots with each meal ordered so we assumed they came with the meal because that's the way the option was presented so we all got fries. I also ordered crab rangoons. They were burnt so I asked for some that weren't as well done, and this is what they brought me. The chicken strips were very well done also. The burgers were ok. 3 of the 5 meals weren't eaten and I had to go across the street and order a couple pizzas. The fries were cold and not even salted. The fish tacos each consisted of two battered chunks of fish with coleslaw and banana peppers under them. The fish itself was good so I ate some of that out of one taco, but left the rest as it just wasn't a good combo. I then was handed a bill for 92.90 with the Rangoons being deducted. They charged us 10$ for all of the fries. I asked to speak to the supervisor. When I approached her she asked me what I wanted. I then explained to her about the extra charge for fries not being explained and then reiterated my frustration over the Rangoons they couldn't get right. I didn't even mention the chicken or the fact that 3 meals went back into the garbage. I was told the Rangoons weren't burnt, that I messed with the wrong bartender cause she's not the nice one and that I could pay the bill and get out.

We stopped in on a whim For a drink after a long day on the lake. Service was wonderful. I have no complaints. Tables were 6 feet apart. Music was good and if you want to sit outside, they offer to-go drinks and food. We DID NOT eat so this review is simply based off of beer selection, environment and service. All were well worth the stop!

Menu - The menu from Morty's Pub in Bayfield, WI, displays sections for appetizers, chips & salsa, burgers, and sandwiches. Items include cauliflower & cheddar bites, onion rings, deep-fried pickle chips, whitefish tacos, chicken bites, garlic parmesan chicken sandwich, chipotle black bean burger, fried bologna sandwich, and various burger options like bourbon bacon and cheeseburgers. Prices range from $9 to $14, with images of some dishes. The menu emphasizes regional ingredients and classic pub fare.

We stopped in on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was busy. There were only 2 servers and one bar tender. We sat for 5 minutes and received menus then waited 30 min before flagging down a waitress to order drinks and food. After another 30 min I went up to the bar to ask for our drinks. The food arrived 10 mins later and it was greasy and not worth the cost. The veggie burger only came with lettuce and pickles. We were very patient and not in a rush but after sitting so long we felt blatantly ignored. The servers were clearly very busy. I would not recommend going here. Worth waiting for any other restaurant in town.

fish tacos and fries - The photo features a meal including fried fish tacos topped with a creamy sauce and coleslaw, a basket of crinkle-cut fries with a side of coleslaw, and a serving of chicken tenders with a small container of dipping sauce. The setting appears to be a casual dining environment with condiments and a drink in the background.

Food was great!! Our server was on top of everything! Lots of people but nobody was real loud it was a great experience.

The image shows a framed printed page from Morty's Pub, containing text about the pub's history, stories, and ownership, along with two photographs—one of a person standing behind a bar and another of two people, likely owners or staff. The frame has a black border, and the surface appears reflective, showing some glare. The background is a textured surface, possibly a table or countertop.

Black River Valley Pub - Cajun Cod Fish Fry Friday

Black River Valley Pub

After a long drive and 1/2 day skiing this was the perfect place to have a delicious and filling…read moremeal. The waitstaff are super friendly and their recommendation of deep fried whitefish was spot-on. The owner dropped by to say hello and he was really cool. The "pine cones ", which are deep fried mashed potatoes in a roughly cone shaped package of tastiness, are a nice accompaniment to the rest of the meal. The side salad was very good and having mostly local beers on tap was a very nice touch. Can't wait to try their prime rib night the next time I'm here on a weekend.

I was with my girlfriend & her family for a weekend getaway. Being from the Milwaukee area, we…read morewanted a Fish Fry on a Friday night dinner. This place was highly recommended so we went. Entering, the place is large & can easily accommodate groups of 6 to 8 people bc even for a Friday with it being busy there are more seats than you'd expect. I got the Cajun Cod with Sweet Potato fries. I didn't want beer battered so it was great to find a place that offers grilled, Cajun grilled, or Beer Battered for all fish fry's. The pieces were quality good size for a grilled cod, 3 quality sizes. Plus comes with good portion of side sweet potato fries for $1 extra. My girlfriend got the Fried Perch which was two massive pieces. Most of the table got a side salad instead of another side. Food was probably a 4 to 4.5 star. Not jaw dropping but not just basic at all. Negatives: Need a drink menu. I am not going to order a beer if you aren't going to give me what is offered. Simple as that. They brought a small pitcher of water (no more than 1.5L) for a table of 6. Water was room temperature & no ice at all. Waitress did write down one of our orders down incorrectly as cod instead of crab cake. His crab cakes didn't show up for another 20min. The poor part was that the waitress never came over at all during the 20min to give an update. Heck, didn't even come over to ask us anything or give us a refill on water. The owner of the restaurant came over but he was only asking how everything was. That was when we brought it up after 5min of the waitress being gone. The owner did give us a piece of carrot cake & was overly nice which is main reason this is a 3* & not a 2*. I usually am not harsh on reviews but the issue more was on the lack of communication between the waitress & our table. By the time he got his food, every single one of us was done or asking for a carry out box for their meal. While the owner was very nice, there obviously was a lack of communication between him & the waitress during the 20min wait bc even she was asking "can I get you something else?" not knowing the owner already had already given us some cake in a carry out container. I get Friday's are busy but don't put Crab Cakes on the menu (he got a side salad as the side so they didn't need any sides) if it takes 20min to make it or that nobody on a Friday night is ordering it at all that you can't skip an order. Also, I think the other table of 6 next to us was not happy on how long their food & drinks were taking. It was a bummer bc we were all really looking forward to a Friday Fish Fry in the UP.
