About:

The Lighthouse Bar and Grill is a relaxed waterfront spot located on the canal leading into Shawano Lake. It’s a favorite for both land travelers and boaters, offering a dedicated boat launch and dock space so guests can pull right up for a meal. The restaurant features a large outdoor patio with uniquely comfortable furniture, making it a great place to watch the boat traffic or enjoy live music during the summer months. Whether you’re looking for a quiet family dinner or a lively place to catch a game with shots and snacks, this local “hidden gem” provides a welcoming Wisconsin experience year-round.

Review Highlights:

• Highly recommended for its Friday fish fry, with guests specifically praising the smelt, double perch, and lightly battered bluegill.
• The menu offers great value, including popular $7 burger-and-fry specials and a “must-try” salmon dip and spinach dip.
• Boaters love the convenience of the dockside service, where staff will even take and deliver orders directly to your boat.
• Mondays are a local staple for their “huge” and reasonably priced Indian Tacos, while Sundays feature a popular broasted chicken dinner.
• The staff is frequently noted for being fast, accommodating, and patient, especially with large groups and guests with special needs.
