Castaways Bar & Grill

Our friends turned us on to Castaways, & now we can’t get enough of it. The appetizers are great (Reuben rolls are homemade too), our son had the monster Wisco burger and boy, that thing is huge, plus other burgers & sandwiches. This last visit we had fish fry, fish tacos, baked haddock & more. All of our fish dishes were really good. The clam chowder soup and beer cheese soup were excellent. Cocktails are good with some specialty varieties. Nice atmosphere, great service & the owner is super nice. Right on the Wisconsin River so it has a great view from the dining room. Very clean inside as well.

Service was awesome and food was tasty. Nice location right on the water with a large dining room and accessible by boat which is an awesome perk. Large bar area along with video gaming. The waitress was attentive and the food was top notch. Definitely enjoyed our email and would be back.

Busy. Wait staff could visit tables more but they were busy. Remodeled inside but no real change from Happy Snapper. Very LOUD inside. Most had to do with intoxicated boisterous customers but still, very loud. Friday fish fry. $14 for 3 piece haddock. Cooked well, moist and tender. Fries were crispy. Nothing is seasoned well. Fairly bland and not salted. Tarter sauce is mostly mayo or similar base with a tiny bit of dill and pickle added. Could use a lot more flavor. Cole slaw was very creamy too. Could cut the sauce down by well over half and they will have a good product there. Pickle chips were very good. Kind of hard to screw up frozen appetizers though. They have a ways to go to get a 4th star on food. But they are comparable to other local places. Good, not really good or great. Whiskey Old Fashioned was good. $60 for two fish dinners, pickle chips and a few drinks. Wait staff was friendly. Well it’s been a while and thought I would try again and see if improvements or changes have been made…. I’ll put as much effort into this as that have. Nothings changed. Invest your money elsewhere. This isn’t worth it.

Nice local spot! Service was very friendly, and food was tasty. So glad they kept the Snapper's cheese curd recipe - they are delightful puffy cheese squares, very unique! Live music was very loud in the dining room - likely to be heard over the noise of the bar.

Really great bar with a great view of the water. Some of the comfiest bar stools on the planet. Service was great, bartender was super busy, but she stayed on top of it and was always friendly. We didn't eat, but the food coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic.

Our server needs to work on…being a good server. She brought the wrong beer, said she brought the wrong beer, didn’t get the right beer but said “I put it in a Busch Light” to take no responsibility. Did not put any food or drinks in front of the person that ordered it. Not even a mistake, just setting all food at the closest location to have customers distribute it throughout the table. When setting down the food baskets, she shoved them towards us, to be caught. If she was a little spacey but apologetic it could be chalked up to a younger staff member learning. She gave no indication that she was interested in helping us. Service industry probably not for you. I think it’s important that the Castaway’s ownership know about how their staff are working and treating customers so that they can adjust the behavior or make changes to front-facing staff. Food was good.

Avoid if possible, better options in the area. Kitchen staff refused to do a simple customization on an order. Food is overpriced and charges outrageous fees for things like “sharing plates”. Atmosphere is okay, server was okay, if you are going to spend money for a meal out, go elsewhere.

I had a group of 12 and they were able to accommodate us. Everybody had something different. Everyone loved their meal. The teen who is a picky eater was talking about his burger days later. The view is beautiful. The service was so friendly and our waitress was a pro. We liked how we could by the kitchen staff a round too, as we really loved their skill.

We enjoyed the beer at Castaways, but unfortunately the food wasn't our favorite. The chicken salad sandwich didn't taste right, and was quite wet. The bread itself tasted stale as well. Good spot for drinks, but if I were to go back I would probably pass on the food.

If you head here to enjoy a delicious fish fry (haddock or perch) be sure to arrive very early on a Friday if that's your plan because this place is a very popular Fish Fry spot among locals. You can dine inside or outside on the patio when the weather is nice and enjoy a water view of both Lake Mohawksin and the Wisconsin River at either spot. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is 10/10, the food is delicious, and the overall theme is lake life. Highly, highly, highly recommend the grilled cheese. It was ooey, gooey, thick and grilled to perfection.

The place was nice and very clean. My wife and I enjoyed a drink on the patio. The food smelled very good as well.

Bob & I stopped by to check out the new Castaways Bar & Grill during their soft open. The bar, dining room & kitchen has been fully renovated. Trish, Greg & their crew did a wonderful job!! The food & drinks were exceptional!! They are developing their nightly specials...Wednesdays from open to close is "Ladies Night" $3 wine & 1/2 price appetizers. The food has been amazing every time we've eaten there. Can't wait to see what specials the other nights will have!! The also have gluten free options! So awesome as they're right on Lake Mohawksin!!

We had a delicious afternoon meal. Two in the party had the 3 tacos meal and were able to choose the protein they wanted for each taco. The others in the party had the Phillycheesesteak sandwich and the club sandwich. Nice portions of food. Service was great. We ate in the room that had windows facing the lake. Perfect for a beautiful weather day.

Food was good, service was good But the number of people allowed to smoke at their tables while we were eating made it really unpleasant. Thought Wisconsin had laws about smoking in public areas.

Excellent food and little pricy but good food clean and friendly people .Severice was good ample parking I'll give it 4stars

Excellent place! Food is all homemade, fresh, and delicious. If you want to be in a fun atmosphere with beautiful views, this is your place. Besides the food and environment being good, the friendly staff and owner will make you want to come back!
