J.F. Walleye's — Restaurant in Put-in-Bay Township

We have only been here twice, so I am going to combine the experiences. The first time we were there, things were pretty busy. They seated us outside right away. No one was wearing masks. So that was surprising. And I mean, non of the staff or patrons. Service was pretty fast. We ordered the Hamburger, the fried bologna sandwich, the buffalo chicken wrap, and the Nachos. The Nachos were huge, my daughter loved them, The Chicken wrap was also huge and my daughter loved it, the Hamburger was cooked perfectly and the tater tots were crispy perfection. The Fried Bologna sadly was the end cut of the bologna and my husband who usually loves fried bologna wished that he had ordered something else. So 3 out of 4 per pretty amazing. The food is more expensive than one would expect for food like this, but being on an island and one of 2 restaurants, it was still expected. The second time we were there we went on the Monday after 4th of july thinking that we would have avoided crowds. But sadly, this was not the case. When we got there it was chaos. Dirty tables not being bussed, People standing around waiting to be seated or served, the wait staff running around looking exhausted. They were definitely understaffed for the influx of people. We ended up waiting over a half an hour to be seated and was warned the the food in the kitchen was taking an hour. The problem being that we were on an island at one of the two restaurants on said island. So where else could we really go? We waited. Happily the food actually only took about 20 mins. I couldn't help but order the hamburger again because of how good it was, same with my daughter and the chicken wrap. My husband, impressed by how the wrap looked the last time, ordered the chicken wrap. The chicken wrap was half the size as the time before. My hamburger was majorly overcooked. Tater tots were mushy. Plus by time we got the check, we realized that they charged us for each refill. This was something that they did not do the first time we were there. We had free refills. They charged us near $3 per pop refill. And this being after all of the waiting on top of it. I guess that it was a good thing that there was just 2 rounds of refills as it was hard to flag our waiter down to get one. So that was disappointing. The next week when we were coming up with plans on where to take the boat for dinner, we ended up going to Kelley's island instead. The pool is a fun addition in the back. When sitting outside the pump for the waterfall is sooooo loud. The kids were thrilled with going into it. But then with more inspection, the pool was actually quite dirty. There was a snake in it and a snake skin even. It was fascinating and gross all at the same time. Golf cart rental is pretty cheap. Like $15 an hour. The lady working the counter the second visit seemed to have a hard time communicating and understanding. So that made...

This place is so poorly run it is sad. While we spent quite a bit of money there for the past two days we were treated horribly! The staff amongst themselves were talking about how everyone had to “watch out” for our group of friends right in front of one of us. The bartender would not allow my husband to open a tab. She also refused to serve my friend a virgin mudslide because “management” said no even though all of the ingredients were clearly available. I should also mention that this friend is pregnant, them knowing that still refused to serve her because she was with our group of friends. We have had so many fun times at walleyes in the past but this year was unacceptable. If you’ve ever watched kitchen nightmare this is the type of experience we had. This place needs Gordon Ramsey. To the staff I’m sorry that you work for such...

The woman who “manages” this restaurant and hovers over costumers made our visit very uncomfortable. We paid for food and watered down drinks all day and were still treated horribly by staff. A friend of ours climbed on the rocks by the pool and the staff, understandably so, asked him to get down. He immediately got down and our group of friends proceeded to mind our own business. We were treated horribly from that point forward- the staff refused to take our orders and talked very openly about our group amongst themselves (meanwhile children and other adults were climbing amuck on the rocks without notice) The serving staff looked so uncomfortable and embarrassed to enforce the requests of the individuals in charge at this establishment. We were so diappointed with our visit as this was our number one hangout spot on the...
