Castaways owners Brian and Barb are wonderful neighbors who serve up good food in a friendly lively atmosphere. The live music is always great. My favorite dishes are the wings, Hawaiian burger, grilled Mahi Mahi w / lemon rice, and capers and their Mahi Mahi wraps. thin crust pizza. Their fries and Poppers deserve special mention, too. When Barb makes the pizza, it's made with love! ...by boat or car...eat,drink,fish, swim on the sand bar and be merry. P.S. visit nearby Orchard Hill Church on Sunday. You'll be rewarded with great music and a spirit filled message God Bless

If you want the classic Wisconsin Friday fish fry. at a dive on the lake, this checks all the boxes. They had a music duo that was pretty good. Made my flight cancellation more bearable. Locals were friendly.

Great food - my burger was amazing. Very nice and accommodating staff. This place has a 'local crowd' vibe (meant in the best way). We came on a beautiful October day by boat for a Packer game. Our child was assumed by some of the (supervised) entertainment machines - lol. Good time!
