Thank You Clear Water Harbor for another fabulous summer.
I was privileged to have my birthday dinner tonight Sept. 18th on your fun deck with perfect music on and great service, sun shining and probably the BEST steak dinner ever!
I don't think we have ever been disappointed!

My husband and I sat in the outdoor dining area which was beautiful and relaxing. Our server was friendly and attentive. I had the Wiscon Burger and was very pleased. It was full of flavor and juicy. Their fries were great and crispy. The cheese curds were absolutely delicious.

Everthing here was great loved the food and its right on the water the only problem I have is they DONT HAVE SOAP IN THE BATHROOM its one of the purple lights and they do have hand sanitizer by the door on your way out of the bathroom But when you wash your hands, there is no soap personally, I find that disgusting, and I'm hoping this is not the only bathroom that they provide for their staff that cooks the food hand sanitizer is not enough coming from someone that has been in the cleaning industry for over 20 year i won't be coming back here which makes me a little sad because we did enjoy our visit

My first visit, the food was very good. Then I took my grandson out to play on the playground. Some of the items were damaged or needed repair. Hopefully they will fix it before next season. Played pull tabs $45.00 won $3.00 bummer.

The weather and view were beautiful, right on the water. The food was ok, the burger was somewhat plain and the chicken wings, though good size and meaty, were kind of rubbery. Would probably pick other menu options if we were to return. Service was great.

Weβve been coming here for about 15 years and every single time we come here the experience is top-notch.
Only place Iβve ever found that offers kayak parking next to their outdoor waterfront bar/restaurant! Today we ordered a cheeseburger, the chipotle chicken sandwich, and chips & queso. For beverages we had the most amazing margaritas and Jack and Coke. JAY, ROCKY AND KEVOY ROCKED OUR WORLD! The service we receive here keeps us coming back.

Our service and the food was fantastic in the restaurant. Our service at their ice cream shop on our way out was not great. The only worlds spoken by the girl at the counter had been our total for the ice cream ordered. She took our cash, and without washing her hands or using gloves, she proceeded to scoop our cones. Not a thank you, not a have a nice day.. nothing.

Had a great server ! Great atmosphere- loved the music . Food was brought out timely- and what it was described on menu. However - jalepeno bombs - zero flavor - loved they were not fried and baked - but under cooked and no flavor.
The β sampler dipsβ LOVE idea - but again- zero flavor and kind of blah. Maybe tweak it a tad and could be great .
All and all - had fun- will be back- but someone in the industry- I like the feedback .

The mahi mahi was a little tough, but the pizza and salads were great!

Beautiful and perfect location to have a meal and drinks on the water. Lots of seating but we decided to sit at the bar. You can pull your boat up and theyβll wait on you there, very cool!!! We got the cheese curds, nothing special but we had to try some since we were in Wisconsin. Lots of specialty drinks on the menu kept the bartenders running. Bartenders werenβt friendly but they were busy, so I kind of give them a pass. You can walk out on the pier and see friendly turtles and lots of fish. The outside bar area and set up is awesome!

Whenever I come into town, which is often during the summer, and whenever I bring friends with me. I always make a stop at Clearwater Harbor.. i love the atmosphere, the food, the drinks and the servers. They are consistently friendly and upbeat. It looks like they really enjoy their job! I prefer eating outside on the deck or at the picnic tables. Inside is also good and heated/air conditioned.

Clearwater harbor restaurant is a good stop in the Wapaca area. The food is good and so is the service.
I arrived on a saturday and was surprised to find a parking attendant making sure that we people were parking who are customers saving room for us customers.
I had a burger and my partner had a flat bread.Both tasted excellent. Our waiter was spot on and kept our glasses full throughout our meal.

Yellow cheese curds were burnt and half of them were just breading and no cheese inside. Pizza was raw and missing toppings. Both burgers on our order were completely raw the first time they brought them out. Second time one was still raw. Given a measly $3 discount and was promised a free drink that we never got. Way overpriced for the very poor quality of food you get. I suppose if youβre coming drunk off the boat the food might be good but donβt waste your time sober.

Couldn't have anyone sleep in them. Air vents that had so much hair from animals. Underneath pull rug in liver room floor was absolutely disgusting had to wash floors.

Website says kitchen is open until 10. We went in and they said kitchen was open. We sat down at 9 and 5 minutes later the waitress comes over to tell us "we changed our hours today".

We really enjoyed this cruise. Beautiful chain of lakes. Captain provided some interesting facts along the way. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that the sound system was not good and it was difficult to hear the Captain talking . It could be because we were towards the back on the upper deck .

We went here over the weekend. The bartender was super sweet and our drinks were great. We took the boat tour and the captain was awesome and so sweet to the kids. That experience was great.
What wasn't great was my husband was hounded down by the parking lot guy checking in cars. My husband is Hispanic and I really really hope race wasn't a issue. He was really giving him a hard time and at one point said he didn't want any trouble and he was a owner of the bar. Again race hopefully wasn't a issue but you could clearly see his wife and 4 children were waiting for him for the boat when he was trying to find a parking spot.
