1 week ago today I had my wedding reception at the brewery and I couldn't be more happy with how…read morethe night turned out! The outdoor area was spacious for hosting 115 guests and had a beautiful backdrop of Lake Erie across the street! This venue also has a nice-sized, stone outdoor bar that was perfect for the occasion! We were lucky with the weather, but if it had rained, the brewery has indoor seating and an indoor bar which many of my guests utilized to escape the sun at times. The staff was friendly and extremely accommodating, especially Jenn and Patti who assisted me in planning the big day for months ahead! Not only did they arrange the tent/table/chair rental with an outside company for us, but the day of they set up our boxes and boxes of decorations. I was shocked at how great the venue looked when I arrived after the ceremony, even better than I had pictured! We had a backyard BBQ style menu including riblets, chicken, corn-on-the-cob, mac and cheese, and slaw which was all made in house and was absolutely delicious! All in all, I have zero complaints with my wedding reception and experience working with KI Brewery! I am so happy I chose them as my venue and highly recommend others to do the same if you are looking for a beautiful, relaxed, fun, island vibe!

Cool island brewery. Kelleys Island Brewery has a good selection on tap. It has a surprisingly…read morelarge amount. On the island there's lots of bars but not as good as beer as here. They also have a small food menu. I came with my lady friend and we walked from the ferry. It's quite a long walk but we didn't want to shell out to get a cart. This looked like a very small place that couldn't possibly have that much to offer. It was shocking but they had a pretty big beer menu. The beers are usually about $5 a pint. I had the Anniversary Ale. It's a lighter beer with good taste. They have a small food menu too. It's a lot of fish which isn't surprising since this is on an island. The chips and salsa are about $5 and come in a big portion. It has many good beers. It may be a bit slow but the staff is busy with crazy tourists who piss them off. Try going at slower times.

This is an old-fashioned side of the road ice cream stand that has whatever you could dream of - hard ice cream and soft serve and so many food items from hotdogs to walking tacos to shredded chicken sandwiches to fried mushrooms and so much more. I personally am a soft serve girl and there are very few flavor combinations in this world that I love more than peanut butter and chocolate. On this my most recent trip this summer, I had the Nutter Butter sundae. The Nutter Butter sundae is Chocolate ice cream topped with peanut butter fluff, peanuts, whipped cream, a cherry and a Nutter Butter cookie. I'm sure you can tell by the description that this was a sugar overload, but delicious. I also got a pup cup for my pup, which is a small bit of vanilla ice cream with a dog treat on top. The ice cream was delicious and we had really good service my only gripe is the prices are a bit high. I paid $2.50 for a dog cup of ice cream - I just remember when that used to be like $.50 but I guess that's inflation for you. Overall, this is a great place with good ice cream and a nostalgic feel.

We ended up eating here 2 days in a row! I chose this restaurant for our Saturday night dinner…read morebecause the specials on the board out front and the dessert list looked great, and they were. Saturday night was pretty popular and the patio was full, so we sat inside, which is why our photos were rather dark. We started with a round of drinks. I had a glass of rose. Note that the drinks menu is several pages longer than the food menu, with beer, wine, and a variety of specialty and standard cocktails. They also have an espresso bar. It wasn't on the menu, but we ordered the Street Corn dip from the specials board on the sidewalk. We got a nice sized serving, and it was very good. I had the za'atar roast chicken for my entree, and it was delicious! The chicken comes with a lemon yogurt sauce, and Fattoush salad, but the salad was kind of a cross between Fattoush and tabbouleh, with pita chips and a grain base. It was a great combo, and the chicken was very juicy and seasoned nicely. I ended up with a slice of the almond cake, which was moist and had sliced almonds on top. Very much needed after missing out in the ice cream stop this afternoon! One of my friends had a bowl of gumbo and the other one had the taco pie. Since everyone enjoyed their dinner, and we confirmed that the patio was dog friendly, we returned with Miss Pup for brunch. We were able to snag a patio seat with a super friendly server. Miss Pup mostly hung out under the table, but managed to convince some other diners to pet her. We went with some plates for the table - Chicken and Waffle, Chilaquiles, and the special Quiche, which had sundried tomatoes, bacon and feta. All 3 portions were just right for us. The chicken was really moist and the waffle had slightly crispy edges. It came with some fruit and syrup. The quiche slice was generous and it came with a large portion of salad with a fruity vinaigrette. The sundried tomatoes were a really fun addition! I chose the chilaquiles. I'm pretty sure the chips were fried fresh (the ones last night were not), and I liked that it had beans and pico on top! This dish did not contain enchilada sauce, it was more like breakfast nachos, but I really enjoyed it. This place is definitely worth a stop, and the menu stands out from the standard island fish and chips and burgers fare (not that I dislike those things, just something different)!
