Willy's on the Water

We discovered this place by chance looking for a place to eat in route to the cities. We have a toddler and a dog and so we wanted a place that was near a park. We were pleasantly surprised to find that this place covers our all our needs. (Disclaimer we visited in late spring so the weather was perfect). They have a beautiful outdoor area with about 200’ of lake shore access. The t has a very pleasant beach and dock which the toddler was able to explore and dogs are welcome as if they are on leash. They brought us a large water bowl for our pup and we discovered that they have kids eat free on Sunday. They also have buy one get one drinks everyday if you are into that. But for a fantastic place to enjoy a meal with the family on a sunny Sunday I can’t think of a better atmosphere.

Every meal I have had at Willy's has been excellent. It always feels like everyone is having a good time. Even the wait staff is cheerful. 😄 The restaurant is very busy during peak times so I try to go off peak. I have never eaten the same meal twice because the so many of the things on it appeal to me. There is a large selection of tap and some are local breweries. I really like that they support other local businesses.

We went here on a double date and had a wonderful time! The cheese curds were very good and I enjoyed my burger. Although it was warm out we loved sitting outside near the lake. Afterwards we walked down to the water and hung out for a bit. Such a great restaurant! Our service was also really good!

Lovely atmosphere, somewhat reasonable pricing, good food. Went on a Monday night and was surprised that parking was so difficult-people were parked on the grass and even made additional lanes. People were leaving/arriving pretty frequently -so parking became available eventually. Surprisingly got a table on the deck with a lake view within 15 minutes. On Monday nights, 4 of their hamburgers are half off and only learned once we were back home that it was 2 for 1s all day every day, but beverage prices are pretty high to make up for that-and that’s why we didn’t order alcohol. Even a flavored lemonade was $5. Food was pretty good and well presented. Service was good. Would go back.
