Bay Cooks — Restaurant in Williams Bay

I may be from Atlanta, but every time I visit Wisconsin, my heart is drawn to a truly exceptional place - Bay Cooks. From the moment I step in, I'm embraced like a long-lost family member, and that's just the beginning of what makes this place so special.

The authenticity of the food here is undeniable. Every bite tells a story of love and dedication. It's as if every dish is prepared with the purest form of culinary passion. The flavors are not just delicious; they are soul-warming, leaving you with a feeling of contentment.

But what truly sets Bay Cooks apart is the people. The owners are not just business operators; they are warm-hearted individuals who open their hearts and kitchen to everyone who walks through their door. During one visit, they graciously showed us their kitchen, revealing the heart of their operation. Their hospitality extends beyond the dining experience, as they craft special drinks to make you feel even more at home.

What touched me the most is their commitment to the community. Bay Cooks isn't just a restaurant; it's a pillar of support for the locals. The owners actively engage with and contribute to the community in meaningful ways. It's heartening to see how much they genuinely care about the place they call home.

I can't help but feel a deep connection to Bay Cooks, and I wholeheartedly defend these wonderful people who have created a truly special haven in Wisconsin. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this heartwarming culinary experience. It's not just a meal; it's a genuine embrace of love, food,...

Would have given a 5 star total rating, but Bay Cooks isn't up to date with their pricing/menu and/or up front with fees. We found this place up on Google and thought that it looked promising. They had a menu on their website to see everything they sold. Looked good and appeared to be decent prices. Got there and was seated right away. Knew enough to not fall for the offered chips and salsa (which hardly anyone gives for free anymore). Food was great, staff was friendly and quick. It was only after paying and leaving that I noticed each entree was $1 to $2 more than what was listed on the webpage menu. Plus, they added a ~$4 service fee for using a CC - which was not mentioned anywhere (I know everyone is doing this too - but usually it's said somewhere). Overall, the meal ended up costing $10-15 more than what we were thinking it would be when we looked at their webpage menu. It is too bad too, because if the menu was correct and they were upfront with their fees, I'd have gladly paid it and given a 5 star rating. In my mind this means only too things, either they are doing this on purpose to look good and hoping no one notices, or they are not on top of things and don't care to be either. I am sure like any restaurant, when they need to raise prices, they get their point of sale computers updated in a...

Incredible, friendly and delicious!!!

We rarely repeat restaurants on vacation, but this one is worth it!!! We both loved our choices!!

My husband had the Three Meat Skillet and I had the Mexican Skillet (added avocado). Their house potatoes are not deep fried, so they are soft and seasoned perfectly!! And the chorizo was flavorful and not too greasy! I don't like cinnamon much unless it's a roll!! But they add a subtle amount to their coffee and it's wonderful!!

Next review to follow today!!

Oh man, I didn’t think their food could have gotten better!! BUT this morning was phenomenal! We had Swedish Lingonberry pancakes, the Mexican omelette with potatoes and Chilaquiles!! Don’t judge we don’t live here and couldn’t pass up trying everything we could. Our server brought out a sample of their guacamole that is perfect!!

Day THREE!! Their Bloody Mary’s are perfectly spicy!! Repeated the Mexican Skillet, but our server suggested adding chorizo to my Chilaquiles!! Phenomenal!! Tortillas on the side!!

Sadly, lunch at Dads went longer than expected. We wanted to try...
