My favorite restaurant on Washington island. My wife and I ate here twice while staying on the island. This place was always open while some other restaurants close during the week. The staff is friendly. The food is great, large selection. We tried the fried walleye, firecracker shrimp and chicken salad. All of it tasted amazing. Food was cooked and brought out very quickly. There’s an area of seating with no windows which is nice for a warm summer day. Pool table and music. Family restaurant and enjoyable for a couple wanting a nice meal also. We will definitely eat here again when we visit Washington island again! Thanks for the hospitality and good food!

If you are looking for fresh delicious fish, this is the place on Washington Island to go. The last remaining local commercial fisherman brings in his fresh catch, and this is the best whitefish (and they have many ways they cook it for you) that my husband and I have ever had.

Firecracker chicken and parm fries were fabulous!!!!! We received warm service and crafty recommendations from Jeremiah and Hans. Larry at the bar was also a fun time. He smiled and poured drinks like a true Wisconsinite! I highly recommend this location for a delicious bite and a hearty island welcome.

We have a home on the Island and my wife grew up here. So been to K.K. many times. Tonight we met a couple friends and sat at the bar to have a couple drinks and dinner. Rachel behind the bar recommended the Parmesan Crusted Whitefish and split it. Great call. The fillet was very large, plenty for two. The crust was very nice and the fish was perfectly done. Firm and moist and super flavorful. Green beans and potatoes in butter. Very good. And sitting in the open air bar even better. Always worth a visit if you get to Washington Island.

Excellent food. Some of the best fish we’ve ever had! The lawyers are worth the drive! Even though they were extremely busy and seriously short staffed, our server was spectacular! Fun atmosphere, great menu!

Stopped here in August (2023) during our honeymoon in Door, and was greeted warmly by the owner’s son. He mixed a few delicious cocktails, poured a coupla beers and talked with us about the island and history of the establishment. We were not hungry so we did not have any food – will do next time! Great place.

The food was delicious. Not your typical bar food quality. The coleslaw was yummy, the chicken was juicy, the cheese curds were good and served w/ a very yummy homemade ranch. The place itself looks cool. There are games like darts, shuffleboard, pool table. Baseball game was on the TV. Bar tender was very friendly.

The location looked cool, the service was more or less ok. The food was actually pretty decent. The price for the food was in my opinion a little bit too high.

This place is amazing! I have dreams about the perfectly cooked whitefish (caught fresh daily), squeaky fresh cheese curds with homemade ranch, and green beans that could make a carnivore turn vegetarian. I recommend sitting at the outside bar and chatting with the witty bartenders. I will definitely travel the 5.5 hours to come back again and again and again…..

This definitely seemed like the best option for lunch on the island. The fish sandwich I had was great, my families food was good too. I think the sides need some work but it was decent overall.
