Here Are the Best Restaurants and Bars in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin | Eater Chicago

"There’s a reason why Lake Geneva locals are willing to wait for fish fry at this “townie” favorite on the edge of Lake Como. Home to some of the most talked-about fried cod, smelt, and shrimp in town, DJ’s is also popular because of its friendly servers and hard-to-beat views of the water. Stop by for happy hour from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. weekdays for $1 off well drinks and beers, and check out the spot’s Facebook page for details about live music sets, which take place every Tuesday." - Naomi Waxman

Good local pub on Lake Como. My wife had a 10" pizza thin crust. Delicious. She also had cup of the Chicken Encilada soup.I had the Cobb Salad. Enormous salad for $8.50

I highly recommend DJs. I go to DJs almost every single week for Wing Wednesday. The food is great and the staff is even better.

Sunday Funday for breakfast what a blast. The food and atmosphere was perfect. Loved the Bloodies! Can't wait till Derby weekend. I especially loved this bathroom sign 🤣😂

First time at DJs for Friday fish. We were excited. I ordered a three piece, 2 baked and one fried fish. Hubby had the fried for all three pieces. The baked had NOooo flavor. It was very bland. It only tasted slightly ok when dipped in butter. Put some seasoning folks. I had hush puppies and they were decent. Coleslaw is way too watery. The pieces of fish, the fried are very small. It seemed like there was more breading than fish . I would have thought that there would be great fish next to a lake. I was wrong. Our hometown bar is sooo much better. Pretty disappointed. Waitress was very hardworking and nice.

Went for lunch during the week. We had a great experience. Our server was very friendly and patient with us even tho she was kinda busy. She made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel valued. The food was delicious! They make their own spinach dip!!! The menu was good, would have liked more fish options but we all found something we liked. Never been here before but will go again for sure.

We went for a fish fry and 2 of us ordered shrimp, 1 ordered baked cod and 1 ordered the fried. The shrimp was delicious but the fish was just okay. It was priced accordingly so we weren't too disappointed. Great service, friendly staff.

Everybody is so friendly and it us such an awesome environment. We just moved to the area and ordered for takeout last night. Food wasn’t what we expected. I think we had a little more high hopes based off the reviews that Italian beef was great but they forgot the cheese. The fish was great. My husband enjoyed it, but the nachos were horrid. The chicken tasted like something I could get sick from we will definitely order here again and give it another chance, but I definitely was a little disappointed in the food.

A local bar. It was crowded the night we were there because of the local group that was playing that night. Onion rings were some of the best I'd ever had. Cheese burger was really good. It was taco Tuesday. They were good, but the cheese burger was better. We will definitely go back, if we find ourselves in the area again.

Landed here by happy accident. Service 10/10. The spinach artichoke dip was so good, extra garlicy. I had a shrimp wrap that was very flavorful. Highly recommend.

You know that it will be a delicious Friday Fish Fry when the place is packed and you have to wait 40 minutes for your to go order to be ready. Ordered a five piece of mixed baked and fried cod which came with cole slaw, a slice of rye bread and a choice of hush puppies, fries or potato pancakes with apple sauce. The fish was so fresh hot and delicious. The potato pancakes were like latkes. So yummy topped with applesauce. Added a basket of huge onions rings and the classic Wisconsin fried cheese curds with a side of ranch for dipping. Don't forget to ask for tartar sauce. No outdoor seating, but grabbed a picnic table at the park across the street overlooking the lake to watch the sunset from our lake view table. Note: no one was wearing a mask including the bar staff and servers. There is an all you can eat fish fry option, but that is for dine in only. The five piece was perfect to share for two and a deal at $13.

Outside eating. We took our pups here ahd we couldn't take them on so we stood on their outside

Slow Sunday night, but one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Cheese curds were amazing as well as the southwestern egg rolls. Italian beef sandwich and buffalo chicken sandwich got great reviews from my buddies at the table. Basically anything fried was very good. Service was kinda slow considering there wasn't but 10 other people here who had already eaten and wanted to just chat with our server, but the food made up for it. Worth a visit if you're in town and want a good local place with some great food.

This place is the definition of a lake bar. Decent bar grub, sweet servers, open windows facing Lake Como, all locals, packed for live music on a Tuesday night, a round of three drinks for 8.00! This place must be hoppin all year long.

Great food and service. We went in with a crowd of 9. Ordered pizza- it was delicious. Italian beef and giardiniera. Hunter was our server. She was excellent. We played darts, pull tabs and the juke box. Don't miss DJ's!

Highly recommend! Food is great, staff is exceptionally friendly, and nice views of Lake Como. My family frequent this restaraunt/pub often and love it!

My husband and I walked in, the restaurant was full. We passed up an empty 6 top because we were on two people. There was another 6 top with only 3 people at it so we joined them. The waitress came over and told us we don't split tables. We couldn't even get a drink. We chatted a little longer with the 3 guys, and once again the waitress said she would not wait on us because they don't split tables. We are locals and will not be back.

place was cool but the food was terrible honestly. I felt like a hamster when I ordered the blt wrap. it was basically all lettuce and the fries had no salt and tasted plain. I do not recommend eating here but other then that it's a cool little spot!

Agnieszka P.

the worst place I've ever been. every single waitress has huge attitude to customers and food is terrible !!!!! do not recommend this place. my waitress brought me wrong food to my table and when I told her that's not what I ordered she rolled her eyes on me.

Stopped here for a bite after a day at the beach. Pros: -Incredibly friendly waitress. Decent sized menu. -Comfortable atmosphere. Friendly area and one I could get used to. -Liked the front picnic tables. Accommodates well to any smokers in your party - prices on par with expectations Cons: -Service was exceptionally slow this day due to under staffing. I won't knock the entire score over a single visit however. Just something any bar/food establishment wants to watch -Fries were kind of meh, and the lady friend completely hated the chipotle chicken grilled cheese. Bottom line: -The lady friend's family really like this joint so I'm giving the benefit of the doubt with 4 stars on a swing vote. Would give this place another shot

The food isn't necessarily unique and doesn't reinvent the wheel, but the quality is consistent. The pizza is cracker thin and they don't skimp on the toppings. There is a nice variety of wings and rubs for their wings and the Spin Dip is definitely worth trying. Nice view of the water, too.

Hidden Gem! Though not fancy, this local restaurant/pub is a great neighborhood joint. Nightly specials are awesome. Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday, Ribbit Thursday, and Fish Friday, of course. Food is super solid and a great value. Same for the drinks. I've been on several Tuesdays when they had live music. Oh, great views from every bar stool.

On my bucket list since moving to Chicago has been a Friday Fish Fry in Wisconsin. With Lent winding down, we decided to head to Lake Geneva early Friday afternoon. Since we're not yet vaccinated, we wanted to eat during a not-so-busy time. My husband and I both ordered the all-you-can-eat cod. The bartender allowed me both a potato pancake (savory, but served with apple sauce) AND hush puppies, along with the requisite cole slaw (what's a fish Fry w/o slaw?!?), and hubby paid a $2 up charge for onion rings as his side. I opted for half&half baked and fried cod. The pieces of cod were thick and perfectly cooked. Truth be told, the baked cod was seasoned really well, and I liked it as much, if not better, than the beer-batter fried (and the fried was EXCELLENT). Everything was clearly fresh and made from scratch. The onion rings were thick, golden, and crunchy. The potato pancake was crispy and flavorful. The hush puppies were the perfect ratio of crunchy outside and soft, oniony inside. Everything was served hot...except the creamy, vinegary yet a bit sweet cole slaw - perfect to cut the fried food. Oh, and there was a half slice of marbled rye bread, which served to sop up some of the oil from the fried cod. If I had any suggestion to improve, it might be to allow the fish to drain just a little more and a little more seasoning in the batter, but honestly, it was nothing a little salt and the rye bread couldn't fix. Pair it all with a creamy, chocolat-y espresso porter, a beautiful view of the sun on Lake Como with March Madness on all 3 screens, and I can feel nothing but blessed and grateful. This place is LEGIT for Fish Fry, decent adult beverages, and friendly service.

This little gem is tucked away on the lake and I'm so glad we found it. There was a wait for the Friday fish fry but the employees were so polite and apologetic. Bonus was waiting at a picnic table near the water. All the servers were attentive and the fish was so delicious. We will definitely make this a staple when we visit the area.

Best fish fry around! Moved here years ago and tried to find a great Friday night fish fry. Looked for years and stumbled upon in the drink and loved the food and service!! Highly recommended!!

Simply put: great food, great service and a great time. Tina is seriously the baddest bartender ever, and since Denise has taken over, the food is amazing. The all girl crew here seriously kills it. Don't come here if you are snooty, but if you're looking for a great time with great people, this is your spot.

I have greatly enjoyed visiting DJ's over the past few years. Food is always fresh...hot....consistent. As we are all under stay at home orders during this pandemic...I was delighted to see that they remain open for curbside and are now offering delivery on food orders. I can say that last night's dinner order...2 mushroom swiss burgers...was the best I've ever had from in the drink....arguably the best burger I've ever had but hands down the best execution on carry out/delivery food I can remember. Fries burned our mouths. Juicy burgers...buns were fresh. Thank you to Irving...who I am told prepared our order when I called back to give feedback. Thanks for being there for your community...your excellence makes a difference with all that going wrong on the planet currently....looking forward to seeing Tina behind the bar when this ends...

This is a regular neighborhood bar. It has a decent view of the water. The food was regular bar food and the service was good. I stopped in here during a trip to Lake Geneva. There was no wait, we sat down as soon as we walked in and ordered. Overall it was a decent experience. This is a no frills place. Nothing too fancy.

Very busy place. Came in on a Friday night ordered a drink at the bar and put our name ib for a table. Waited maybe ten minutes. Had the spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer. Was very cheesey. Really good . I ordered smelt and my friend had the fish fry. Both were really delicious! All the staff were very friendly. Will go again soon.

On a long weekend away from Chicago we went to this bar for a relaxing lunch after a few hours on the lake. The staff were extremely friendly and to be quite honest our group was loud, large and rambunctious. We were served without question and ordered an array of food. It's all bar food at its finest and it did the trick for us. The pizza was tasty, the chicken tenders were good and the mozzarella cheese sticks were delicious. The beer kept coming and although it was quite quiet. We had a good time. Would recommend over the Lake Geneva bar scene, this has a more local feel. Solid 4*.

Fun little place to grab a late night drink. It's right off of Lake Como in an area where there is NOTHING, so this is a great place if you want to head out for a few drinks with friends. They have sand volleyball nets set up right on the lakefront, and I've never seen them too busy. Pretty good specials too.

Great location across from the lake. Nice view. We both had salads that were delicious. Pizza smelled great so definitely will go back to try that . Great motorcycle destination.

Always great food and service. Never had a bad experience here. Best fish fry in the area, Spotted Cow battered cod that is fresh and not from frozen. Can't beat their Taco Tuesday with live music.

Love this place. Great people, and the best food for a bar. Love the Atmosphere very comfortable. No one is ever left out. You don't get that in many bars. we enjoy every time we visit. Lots of specials, music and a great place to meet local people. Can't stay away to long, gotta get the In the Drink feeling!!

We ended up here when the place we tried to go to didn't serve lunch. They serve typical bar food but better than average. The wings are probably frozen wings fried in oil then tossed in sauce but they were decent. My husband had the smokehouse burger which was huge and looked good. Overall not bad since there's nothing else in the area.

Under new ownership. The food is good had the barbecue sandwich on pretzel bun it was good. Also had the south-western egg rolls were which were really good. I need to try again. Heading in the right direction. Also they have bands every now and again. Check them out on Facebook.

Nice alternative to the Lake Geneva restaurants. Steak sandwich is very good and happy hour discounts was a bonus. Friendly staff makes it a welcoming environment.

This place is great!! The fish fry is one of the best we have ever had, and Taco Tuesday is great! Happy hour specials on beer. And you can't beat the view of Lake Como. I would strongly suggesting going to In The Drink and trying a pizza.

Sure, it's a dive bar, but GF and I had a blast dropping in on a karaoke night. Bartender and other patrons were very friendly and we had a fun night.

Went for the first time for Wings on Wed. Wings were very good, prices were favorable. Went again on Fri with friends for fish fry and we were not disappointed. Fried cod or baked or combo. Oh yeah, service was quick and wait staff were very friendly. Would definitely be going back.

This is the best bar in the area! The staff is kind and accommodating. It's such a great spot for drinks with the girls and a guaranteed fun night out! They offer karaoke and live bands, so regardless of the day, it'll definitely be a night to remember.

Great food. Their pizza is amazing as are the chipotle chicken nachos. Nephew had a burger, said it was the best he ever had. I've heard the fish fry is outstanding from friends.

First time here and the staff welcomes you and treats you like you been coming here for years. Great food and the Badgers televised on TV and the sound piped in through the speakers. My wife and I like it and we think you will too. Cheers!!

What a terrible experience. The owner stormed in and stopped the band on their last song because they were too loud. She was drunk, didn't evaluate the situation and made a scene. Extremely unprofessional. We will never return.
