Excellent Door County Fish Boil. Entertaining presentation of cooking process around the steaming, boiling kettle. Delicious whitefish deboned by the waiter at your table. Served with slaw, sweet breads, boiled potatoes and onion. Cherry pie included for dessert ($3 extra for the ice cream on top). Nice outside tables facing Lake Michigan.

We thoroughly enjoyed the fish boil we made reservations for! Our dinner time was later in the evening so we were able to watch the sunset over the water. Loved that the experience and patio was dog friendly and our dog laid quietly at our feet the entire time after being so tired from the day. Fish master was excellent at explaining the history of the fish boil, and sitting around a fire with other locals and travelers was such a good time! The food tasted amazing and I liked that they offered a choice of chicken or ribs rather than fish just in case you wanted to participate in the boil but can’t eat or don’t like fish, especially for large families that I noticed chose some of the other options and were still able to then all eat together and do the boil! Fish was definitely amazing though! A must do experience in door county!

We enjoyed the Fish Boil on Friday night, and we had a great time. The boil master was entertaining and we thought the whole experience was educational and a lot of fun! The view of the water from our table was beautiful and we were able to enjoy the sunset while we ate. The service was friendly and very attentive. Overall we had a great time and highly recommend this experience for anyone who wants to enjoy a traditional Scandinavian fish boil. We will definitely be back for brunch next time we are in the area.

You absolutely MUST go here!!!! The fish boils here are done by the same person every day of the week and he still does the boils today just like it was done decades ago. He tells a great history of the boils during the show and explains everything. You then go in to eat your meal and are served an amazing dinner. The server will even debone the fish for you right at your table. After your meal you’ll be treated to an amazing Door County cherry pie!!!Forget all the other knock offs in the area and go straight to the Old Post Office!! Make sure to call ahead for reservations!

A nice experience from beginning to end. We enjoyed sitting around the fire, listening to the boil master's explanation of the process while watching him do it. I wasn't sure what to expect from the flavor and found it was delicious. The meal was incredibly filling. Finishing with cherry pie was nice. We also enjoyed the bay view from our outdoor table during sunset . I'd go back again.Parking: The parking lot gets full. Needed to park along road.

Had 5pm reservations and showed up at 4:30 as directed. Check-in was easy. Grabbed a seat by by the fire pit to see the show. Great information provided by the boilmaster and enjoyed learning the history of Door County and the fish boil. Sat outside for dinner across the street from the water—perfect view. Thought the food portions were generous with the whitefish pieces (be forewarned: even if you ask to have it de-boned you will still find bones). Tip: pour LOTS of melted butter over the fish! The coleslaw and the breads were excellent—I think I liked that better than the fish. Ending with cherry pie was perfect. A great Door County experience!

Call and make a reservation a day in advance! Dress for a windy porch evening just in case. Perfect romantic spot. Only restaurant that offers to debone your fish, comes with slaw, potatoes, onion, bread and cherry pie! So delicious!Kid-friendliness: Kids welcomedWheelchair accessibility: From the back.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. This was one of my favorite things that we did when we came to door county. We came a half hour early as suggested when I made a reservation and I wasn’t disappointed. The boil master was great, he told us all about the history of the fish boils in door county all while putting on a good show for us with the fire from the boil. We were seated at the best table in the house, on the front porch with a beautiful view of the lake. Our sever was wonderful, she deboned our fish for us and got us our drinks quickly. And to top it all off, the food was absolutely amazing. This was the best fish I have ever eaten. If you are looking for a fish boil in door county, look no further. This place was a great treat and a perfect ending for our door county trip.

We had breakfast one morning, and the fish boil the next evening. Both get five stars. The egg scramble and eggs over medium were as fresh as I can recall eggs ever being. The hash browns were terrific as well, being baked and grated on site. The fish boil was educational and entertaining, and more importantly, delicious. Imagine serving 120 people a hot dinner in about 10 minutes - they have their process down pat. The dinner was more than ample - fish, potatoes, onion, breads, slaw, and cherry pie. Ice cream required a surcharge but is recommended. Very reasonably priced for the quantity and quality. The fish is caught same day or the day prior, so it is fresh. The owner is very sweet and knows how to run a busy restaurant even during these times when every restaurant is short on staff. Call ahead for the fish boil - it books up well in advance.

While visiting Door County in July 2021, we definitely wanted to have a fish boil dinner and we selected this place. We arrived early to view the process of boiling the fish with potatoes and onions in the open field behind the restaurant. It was a memorable thing to watch. We were then told to go to our pre-assigned table and ours was on the front porch with a view of the Green Bay across the street with a beautiful sunset in progress. The people were extremely friendly in the whole dinner experience was definitely memorable. I highly recommend this place for your fish boil experience.

Have been here for breakfast and dinner and the food is simply... amazing. Have been numerous times and each time the experience is just as good as the last. Service and presentation is also phenomenal. The actual ‘fish boil’ is cool to watch. Make sure you arrive early to see it. Also, be sure to have reservations a day or two in advanced as the seatings tend to book quickly. Overall, 10/10.

Excellent fish boil! I usually only like a fish boil once a year, I could eat this one every day! The white fish was delicious. And the wait staff removed most of the bones. The whole meal was great. And cherry pie for dessert! The "show" was fun. Nice to hear the history of the fish boil and the boil over is amazing.

The fish boil was fantastic. Our phenomenal fish boil chef (I forget what his official title is but that's what I'm calling him) was very engaging and very passionate about his heritage and home. The fish was fresh caught, and super delicious. We definitely loved the experience. It came to I believe 25$ or so a plate, and came with dessert. Our server was great and offered to take the bones out for us.

My fiancé and I were there twice today. First: Great breakfast! Excellent food, tasty and fresh! Apple crumble coffee cake, anyone? Our server Dianne was attentive, quick and very friendly! As we were leaving, we inquired about their fish boil. We were pleasantly surprised the hostess (super friendly as well) was able to accommodate us for a reservation tonight. We arrived, watched the entire presentation from the fish boil master - knowledgeable, engaging and enthusiastic - and truly enjoyed it! Then dinner… wow! Our server Jose was kind and friendly as well! Overall, outstanding service, great food and an experience totally worth our time and money! Would definitely go again!

My favorite fish boil!! Perfectly fresh fish, perfectly cooked, with red potatoes and onions (the others don't boil onions) with a pitcher of melted butter...and, of course, cole slaw. Decent wine selection.I'm not a fan of breads and cherry pie, but others seemed happy with the offerings. Indoor and outdoor seating (dog friendly).

One of the best experiences I’ve had at a restaurant! The food was so delicious, the view breathtaking, and the service was perfect. It was also interesting to learn about the fish boil process by experiencing it. This must be the best restaurant for fish boil in Door County!

The hotel we are staying at recommended The Old Post Office for breakfast - saying they have the best cherry pancakes around (they were phenomenal.) We enjoyed breakfast so much that we came back later for the fish boil, which was delicious!The service was quick, friendly, and professional. Raven was our waitress at breakfast and she was super sweet!It was great getting to eat outside on the front patio and have a view of the water. A very relaxing environment in which to enjoy some great food!This is definitely a new tradition for us here in The Door! 🍒❤️

Great experience for a Dorr County fish boil. Staff very courteous and attentive.Food excellent! Some were concerned about bones in the fish but the staff expertly deboned the whitefish steaks.The boil show is photo worthy. Arrive early for bench seats but standing is fine.Plenty of parking across the street. Limited parking behind restaurant.For large parties, bill will not be split and 18% added on automatically. Not unusual but a surprise for our multi family group of 20.Fun time!

Great experience the fish boil was very good. Didn't look like a lot but it is more than enough for a dinner. Make reservations to get a good seat

Great fish boil experience! Make reservations the day before. Get there early so you can grab a drink and have a spot to sit on the benches near the fish boil. They then serve you at your reserved table white fish, bread, potatoes, onion, coleslaw, & cherry pie. The waitress removes the big bones from the fish, there are still quite a bit of small ones you have to keep an eye out for. Overall great experience and worth the $.

We went for the fish boil and we’re absolutely blown away! Some of the best fish I’ve ever had, all very reasonably priced considering both the quantity and quality of the food. The boil itself was very entertaining to watch, plus it’s a treat to actually see how your food is prepared. Just be careful where you sit; if the wind is blowing towards you it can get quite hot during the boil over!

Save yourself the time from checking all over the menu obsessively to find the best thing, just order the fish boil meal. By far the best we have ever had and we have had plenty up here in Door County.The food is excellent and the service was top notch. There are three fish boils a night 5pm, 630pm and 745pm. All are excellent. The boil itself is worth the viewing for the stories and flames!This place serves great food and looks like you can stay here too.This is family owned and operated, I learned that when the lady that was checking us out for our bill turned out to be the owner and operator who has been at the business for more than 30 years with her husband and family. Having the owner onsite and involved on the ground level daily.....no wonder why it was such an excellent experience.Totally recommend!

We snuck in for breakfast on a rainy morning today. You know the food has got to be good if there’s a line out the door! We only had to wait 20 minutes, and it was worth it for the hot, fresh, made to order meals we had. Yum! Decaf coffee was surprisingly good as well.
