We ended up finding a table for 10 of us at Trailways, which also happened to be serving all-you-can-eat fish fry that night too. And this fish fry was EXCELLENT. All the fish was fried perfectly, crispy and flaky. Our server was quick to help us and bring out our food. My kids, who are unfortunately very picky, also found food here they liked. Trailways saved our night! We'll hopefully be back on future trips.

We got there by 5 pm on a Friday and the place was packed (the parking lot is small, so keep that in mind, too), but luckily we snagged a table. The fish fry is AMAZING!! Delicious beer batter, fried perfectly, and the tartar sauce was yummy too but you really didn't need it given how wonderful the fish was on its own. My two only small critiques would be to give lemon wedges without people having to ask, and to cook the French fries longer.

Took 2hours and 15minures for the food tocome out. Half of our food was cold and the other scorching hot.

Indoor seating was only half full, if that. We waited for 20 minutes before our orders were taken. We then proceeded to wait two hours before we even received our food, with very little checking in from our waitress. She eventually apologized for the wait after we'd been waiting for an hour and a half after ordering. We asked for some bread rolls for the kids at this time and she seemed happy to bring those (along with a round of free drinks for the adults). When we asked for bread rolls for the kids, we mentioned we'd been there already for 2 hours and needed something for the kids. She pulled out her handheld ordering device and said, actually it looks like you've only been here for an hour and a half. 1) The waitress argued with us on how long we'd been waiting. 2) An hour and a half to wait for food (ended up being 2 hours in the end) is completely unacceptable. 3) We had been there 2 hours because it took them 20 minutes to even take our order. We finally received our food and it was just ok. Absolutely nothing to write home about. They mentioned only being open for three weeks and that being a reason as to why our wait was so long. They must have meant 'for the season' because their Facebook page has been posting since 2021. Another table of 4 behind us had been waiting for an hour and other tables that were seated after us received food before us. Completely unimpressed by this restaurant.

My family goes to Hayward each July 4, and while we have our favorites in town to eat at each…read moresummer, I always like to try something new. So my family asked me to pick a new-to-us spot. I chose The Boulevard after looking at the reviews. But overall, it was a meh experience unfortunately. I got a reservation for our large family group, and our table was waiting for us when we arrived. Besides us there were just a few more parties dining in. But while we were seated quickly, out experience then went downhill. The biggest problem: We had to wait nearly 90 minutes to get our entrees. We had to ask a few times what the hold-up was, and the owner (I think) ended up providing free desserts for the table to compensate. This helped, but still ... 90 minutes. And our entrees were a bit hit or miss. I got the shrimp alfredo, which didn't have much flavor. A couple of our other entrees were cold. My husband's pork chop was delicious, though, he said. It overall felt like The Boulevard didn't know what it wanted to be -- either more high-end with its entrees and prices or casual. I would be interested in trying it again, but hopefully our dinner won't take as long as it did on our first visit.

As I scan previous reviews-like the one from 2 years ago, the experience my Wife and I had was the…read moresame. Our table had a nice greeting card to make you feel welcome and appreciated, but it went down hill from there. We got our drinks quickly, placed our dinner orders-we both tried the "Nut Crusted Walleye, thinking we should try what you'd think was a Northern Wisconsin "specialty. Mind you, the price is $38 per dinner, so you'd expect the food quality to match the price-NO WAY. First-the owner misrepresents what comes out of his Kitchen by using Stock Photos you buy for advertising. I'll get back to the food quality in a bit. We got our salads quickly-probably because our Server plated them, but they came with our salad dressings in packets you get at places where the menu is behind a fast food service counter. Honestly, this is insulting, lazy and cheap for the cost. We then waited 25 minutes after the salads to get our Entree's. They were not busy, nor understaffed and we were the only seated table in the entire place, everyone else was at the bar and there we about 10 people who had already been there, so they hadn't ordered before us. At the 20-minute mark for getting our food, I asked our server about our meals, nicely, she proceeded to lie to us that our orders came in AFTER several others and it would be a few more minutes. When our food arrived, it was ALL beige, and the fish was obviously low-grade Walleye with fishy-tasting blood line inherent in low-grade product. The Lonesome Pine in Deerwood, MN has a $36.00 Walleye dinner to die for. The only thing good on the plate were the baked potatoes, which we smothered in butter and our second experience that night of "squeeze tube delivered" Sour Cream. In summary, I see the owner takes offense to criticism. He never said boo to us, but he looked over at us more than a few times as he and his pack of Bar regulars yakked and looked over their shoulders at the "strangers" in their watering hole. Just me and the Wife, looking for new places in the area we thought we'd try. We came with normal expectations, set by how the place is advertised, and it's nothing of the kind. People vote with their dollars. The owner should understand it makes no difference if the patrons aren't your long-time crew and you'd think that it would be a chance to get out from behind the bar, walk over to our table and just say "Thanks for coming in-we hope to see you again" Our bill was $110.00 BEFORE tip for a server who lied to us. She must be related to the owner.

At one point, two of us…read morewent up to get drinks while our four parents were waiting off to the side around a table, completely out of the way. We were yelled at and told to move, even though there were plenty of open tables. Later, the guys went up to the bar to get drinks and were again told to move out of the walkway, despite the bar being busy and us simply trying to order. Then later in the evening, three of us sat at a table while the rest of our group played slots, and we were once again yelled at and told to move. There were over 10 open tables throughout the night, so it's not like we were taking up space that other customers needed. We understand it was busy, but being repeatedly yelled at and told to move when we were not in anyone's way was completely unnecessary. It made the entire experience uncomfortable and left a really bad impression. If making customers feel like an inconvenience is your idea of good hospitality, you might want to rethink who's actually in the way.
