Driftwood — Restaurant in Sheboygan

Took our mother here for her 85th birthday. Never been so we wanted to try it and finding brunch in Sheboygan is difficult in Summer. We arrived at our reservation time and we're seated outside on the river. It was a beautiful day so we were excited to enjoy birthday brunch. We were on of four tables in the restaurant at the time of seating.

We ordered drinks and my wife ordered the bottomless mimosa. We were disappointed that her and my mom's mimosa were served in plastic cups given that my beer bottle was glass. Bottomless implies you will get value but with the server only stopping at our table five times (once was to bring my wife's entree that was made wrong) it isn't worth the $15 price tag.

We ordered our food. My wife wanted the Eggs Benedict but thought it strange that it was served atop bratwurst patties. She asked for the patties on the side. The meal came with the English muffins on the side instead with the eggs and sauce on top of the brat patties. We asked for it to be corrected and they obliged. My mother's BLT was just what she wanted and she was happy with her sandwich. I ordered the breakfast burger. I ordered it medium and it came out well done and cold. The toasted bun was black and burned. I'm not sure how the cook didn't see that but oh well I ate the burger without the bun. Perhaps the side of hollandaise sauce that comes with the burger would help with the overcooked dry and hard burger patty. Mine came without it. I ordered the Shishito Hash for everyone to try. For a $7 side it must be substantial and good. It was a four inch round circle of cold hash browns with a sprinkle oof melted cheddar and 3 pieces of pepper. Not worth it.

When I say food was cold it was in the eighties on the patio so it wasn't the outdoor temperature.

Being residents of the riverfront area we hope this place makes some corrections. Perhaps it was just bad...

We stopped in for dinner about a week ago with my parents. Got seated right away, due to there being only a couple tables with people at them. We ordered our drinks and I had ordered a brandy sour old fashioned, the server came back and asked what kind of whiskey I wanted which wasn't off to a good start. We waited for a while to get our drinks which in the mean time the server came back asking if we wanted more water, so my mom had to say we'd actually like our drinks that we ordered awhile ago. My dad's Wisconsin amber he had ordered was sour so he had to get something completely different and he also had ordered the lobster Mac but they were out of lobster( he still got charged full price even though he had to substitute). I had wanted the perch po boy which then the server came back and said they didn't have the stuff prepared to make that so if I still wanted that it would be a much longer wait. So I just ordered the fish and chips that my wife ordered as well. My parents food was alright. The fish and chips my wife and I ordered was ok at best. The fish came out luke-warm not really hot and fresh like you'd hope for. Overall, prettying pricey place for subpar stuff. Probably won't...

Disappointed is the word.

The staff were extremely friendly, the food was very tasty. The issue was it took 50 minutes to get us our food after ordering in a very small bar/restaurant on a Sunday. In addition, one of the 5 meals came out beyond cold. My sister in law order a burger and a parfait(for later) and the waitress came out to tell her they no longer have the parfait(perfectly fine btw, but…) she told us 40 minutes after ordering it, therefore I’m thinking the order wasn’t placed until 40 minutes later with the chefs, the waitress decided not to tell us until that time, or whatnot. Either way they also did not ask if she wanted anything to replace it….. again, the place has all the makings of a great restaurant/bar: scenic water front views, good tiki vibes, games are on, great seating, but the service and speed was the major issue.

I’d say try it maybe it was a bad day, but I can’t justify average (3 stars) due to this. 3 stars is if I don’t think about your establishment in a bad or...
