    We decided to try the Port for breakfast. First the table needed to be wiped clean. Floors look like they haven't been washed for months. 3 people for breakfast, and 3 orders screwed up. None of the eggs were prepared as ordered. Toast was forgotten. 1-Coffee was cold. The decaf coffee tasted like coffee grounds, and may have sat around for 3 days. Approximately 6 other people in the restaurant, who were out-of-towners, had their orders screwed up. Another customer stated it took 3 times to get his order correct. And don't confuse the waitress by giving change along with bills to pay your bill. TOTALLY CONFUSED HER. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND EATING THERE.

    The food is the best on the chain. Love the staff. They could not be better. I also feel very safe knowing Brandon is always there. It's a great family place

    Went for breakfast two days in a row. Opens at 7am, the menu is small but you have a variety of skillets, omelets, and breakfaat sandwiches. They don't have pancakes, but offer crepes and french toast. Its nice to be able to sit inside but with all the doors open, to have the outdoor feel. Tammy was an excellent server 👌

    They advertise on the internet that the boat to the island is $10. They also have signs there saying the same thing but when when you go to get on the boat you find out that they charge $15 :(

    I hate leaving bad reviews but it must be known… Literally the worst place on the chain. My sister got food poisoning. Do not recommend.

    5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Barb was super nice 😊 she was very kind I think she might be the owner. and this place is a staple in Wisconsin. I can’t wait to come back during some to actually take the bait out to the Blarney Island and even rent one of their cabins they offer on the water. The bar area has a lot of history and they had a slot machine area for anyone’s gaming needs. They have a outdoor area with another bar and you can have private parties here to, one was actually going on when we stopped by. Food stopped at 9pm which was one of the reasons we came here but we got there a little late to eat. Another thing about this place I know the family who built it back in the day which is a special place. The parking 🅿️ lot was large and they offer boat launching here to ($25) the women’s restroom was nice and clean 🧼 They also sell merchandise which I should of bought a hat!!! Definitely want to come back to eat stay the night and go out to the island when it’s nice and warm out. Like 👍🏻 my review and please check this place out.

    I can honestly not say enough good things about this establishment! We had a memorial fundraiser here for my brother in law who passed away unexpectedly and they were very attentive as well as friendly. And oh my god the food!!!! It is honestly the best food I have had eating out in a long time, from the cheese curds and fries to the steak and mushroom wrap they were all to die for. Highly recommend and will be back again soon!

    Fun summer boat ride to get to floating bar in the middle of Duck Lake with a band on weekends, an open air dance floor. All ages and manner of attire welcome. Drinks overpriced but, it was Labor Day Weekend. There's an outside deck around the bar. Pull up a chair and watch the happy boaters drive by all around you. Suggest having your lunch or dinner before... Crowds come over later in the day. Enjoy!

    A lot nicer than it used to be. But still a typical area drink establishment...

  • 3/5 Lissette G. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice people, but the boats are pretty run down. Would recommend staff to clean the boats between each rental. It's alot of money for a dirty run down boat. The experience and views are great, just would prefer a cleaner rental.

    Start here then head to Blarney Island. You can probably find the Dock Rocket here on Thursdays!

    15 dollers to the island and back. Get ready to empty your wallets and purses. So bring a lot of money! It's alotta fun, but it's a must do.

  • 4/5 Jeremy 1 year ago on Google
    Fun experience. The fact that it was a bar in the middle of the lake is neat. Friendly staff. Food is typical bar food but overpriced.

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    If your boat or lake folk definitely check this place out, had an amazing time!! Worth the 40 min drive from Racine!!

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 1 year ago on Google
    The Port of Blarney is a small piece of my history. I grew up going here and now I work there as a bartender. It is located right on the chain of lakes! New menu and awesome events all summer long!!! If your looking for something fun go hang out by the water and have lunch! Boat Races out at Blarney Island on Thursday night is a must see! Nothing like this place anywhere else!!

    A real diamond in the rough! This was a great surprise, and I'm so glad we found this place! It's going to be packed so understand you might have to wait a minute or two for your food and drinks, but it's a fun and relaxed atmosphere to share with friends and family.

    Looks cool. I dropped several Uber riders there. Heard it was a fun place.

  • 4/5 Ann K. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food & vibes...an order was wrong with the waitress but the manager Deshawn was able to make everything right. All restaurants should have a manager like him. It's a good place to stop for some grub & drinks.

    Met a group here on Saturday Night 🌙, had a friends birthday 🎂 celebration 🍾 here before heading out to the Island 🏝 Server was new and did a great job, food was delicious 😋 Hope to be back soon!!

    While waiting for the ferry I ordered chicken wings- were good, my husband ordered a steak sandwich with fries- pretty good, drinks I ordered a titos mule - not so good way to much ginger beer and my husband ordered a Kentucky mule - not so good way to much ginger beer. On the island the Bahama mama and rum runner were really good and worth the price as well. I think a sign or post on the page about $15 for the boat ride should be posted since the atm is charging $5 fee that's not right. On the island had a great time!

  • 2/5 Nathan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Considering the bartender called my friend an asshole… and the food was meh. Either stale or burnt chips served after 20-30 minutes waiting and no other people there ordering out of the kitchen. It would be a 1 star but maybe there was something going on in that persons life?

    Enjoyed a classic car cruise-in and had a tasty burger with fries in the outdoor seating area.

    Food and Staff are 2nd to none

  • 4/5 Sara G. 4 years ago on Google
    It's an interesting place. If you don't have a boat, you have to take a ferry to get there or via helicopter. Once there you can enjoy the music, dance or admire others in there boats arriving or depending. The drinks are good, the food is okay.

    I'd give it zero stars if I could. We were told by a waitress that the boat shuttle to the island started running at 5:00pm. When we arrived at 5, we were told it didn't start until 6:00. This is on a Friday night! The bartender (who said he was also the manager) had 3 customers waiting at the bar, all discussing how frustrated they were, regarding how long they'd been waiting to be served. Oddly the place was empty, so not sure why the slow service. When we were finally acknowledged, I mentioned to him that we'd been told the incorrect time for the shuttle service, thinking he might want to know someone on staff is giving incorrect info. Instead he said in a rather condescending manner, "look I don't know who told you that, but we'll get you on the shuttle for free". We weren't looking for a free ride, or free anything, but hoped for a little compassion since we drove a long distance to experience our first visit to Blarney Island, which now we didn't have enough time to accomplish. At that point I realized it was just as well that our visit was about to end there, because neither the bartender/manager or any other workers were diligently wearing protective face coverings. Most of the servers wore them on their chins, beneath their mouth and nose. I thought this was mandatory by law in IL? All around a very unfortunate experience.

    Honestly I give it a 3 because the waitress was hot and the beer was very cold ! As for the food. No thank you. I will skip the food here.The food was just Frozen food that you could literally taste it was slightly not done. Go for the beer and you will enjoy the scenery.

  • 5/5 bob o. 3 years ago on Google
    They have remodelled the whole place..you can rent boats, take a helicopter ride, watch boat races and catch a good band. Never a dull moment, a MUST visit!

  • 5/5 Zac P. 3 years ago on Google
    Ridiculously good food! Not to be confused with Blarney Island, which also has great food! Port of Blarney is very similar to the Pearly Gates that you must pass through to get to heaven!

  • 4/5 P J. 4 years ago on Google
    Food is good. Decent prices. Service for us has always been consistent.. We used to go regularly for fish fry on Friday's until we moved out of state. We really miss their secret recipe tarter sauce. Can't find it anywhere else with the dill weed in it!

    They opened this restaurant and bar for a memorial service - a very nice young man is no longer with us. Very kind gesture and lots of work for Port O'Blarney in their off season. Nice people and excellent service. Go there

    ' a dump' is about the only thought that comes to mind.
