Ordered the prime rib sandwich with no sauce and cheese. It came smothered and I told the waitress and she did nothing, husband did not eat it, still got charged the whole $16. My food was only edible.

Awesome food. Always a band. Attentive staff. On the Rock River. Very clean, and a new parking lot, with a boat launch.

Wow! What great food and good prices! Parents and 3 kids got out of there with two appetizers (an awesome huge pretzel, and tasty cheese curds) and meals for $100. Youngest kids enjoyed the mac&cheese bites, older kid had the Whiskey burgee with regular fries (I tasted it and it was phenomenal-better than a similar Red Robin burger), I had the fried cod (it was Friday) and that was so good, and my wife had Chicken Ceasar wrap with sweet potatoe fries. Not one thing made us say "Eh, that's alright." Everything was perfect. Great outside atmosphere next to the river with a great selection of music. No, I don't work here or own the place...it was just that great of a first time there. If only we had a boat to pull up to the dock next time we are there.

One hour and ten minutes to get food. During that time our server never returned to the table to ask if we wanted another beverage. Fish was good. Music good. Very Clean.

I love this place. Been coming Island Bar & Grill: Where the Beer is Cold and the Vibes Are Hot 🍻🔥
If Jimmy Buffett and Guy Fieri had a baby and raised it on a pontoon boat—Island Bar & Grill would be its daycare.
First off, the food? Next level. I ordered a burger so juicy it had me questioning all my past relationships. The fries were crispier than my ex’s texts, and the cheese curds? Let’s just say I’d trade my left shoe and half my dignity for another basket.
The music? Absolute bangers. I walked in and immediately felt like I was in a summer montage. By the second chorus, strangers were singing together like it was karaoke night at Margaritaville. I don’t know if it was the band or the rum runners, but I almost proposed to a bartender named Chad (shoutout to Chad for politely declining).
Now let’s talk about those views. Water as far as the eye can see, sun shining like it’s getting paid by the hour, and boats pulling up like it’s a VIP club for people who own Yeti coolers and questionable American flag swimsuits. Honestly, if your sunglasses aren’t reflecting lake light while sipping a Tingala cocktail, are you even living?
And the staff? Angels in tank tops. Quick with a drink, quicker with a joke, and somehow always smiling—even when some guy in a flamingo shirt (me) asked if they served deep-fried pickles in the shape of Wisconsin. (They don’t, but they should.)
Final verdict?
Island Bar & Grill isn’t just a bar. It’s a state of mind. A lakeside, beer-in-hand, cheese-curd-in-mouth, sunburn-on-your-nose kind of paradise. 10/10, would lose my flip-flops here again.

Nice place to dock the boat. Very warm inside.... AC didn't seem to be working. Also has outdoor seating. Took a very long time to get our food. The food was good once it arrived.

I stopped by on a sunny Saturday afternoon in July and had a fantastic experience. The weather was beautiful, a great band was playing, and boats were cruising by—such a fun, lively atmosphere. I ordered the salmon, which was fresh and delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be back!

Had a poor experience at Thirsty Whale and decided to head to Island Bar & Grill. The service was fast and their team was very patience when we placed a 8 person take out. The young woman server/host with blue eyeliner was super helpful and great- everyone was happy with their food!

Had a great time went out for food and drinks. Ends up, they were having a meat raffle. They had some great prizes. This wasn't a that day picture, but a couple of days after. I'll definitely return, and for the summertime, can't wait to go see a band out there.

Really good bbq ribs (the meat was falling off the bone), and they have a stage on the lake for live music. The only drawback is that the area floods from time to time.
I strongly recommend you to go to this restaurant.

Is Saturday afternoon.
I ordered the prime rib special.
It was outstanding... very tender, delicious to the last bite.
I'll be back!!!!
To try other dishes..
Check this place as soon as you get a chance.
Fantastic service.
Place is right at the Rock river's edge.
My wife ordered the brisket sandwich, it was big. She really enjoyed it.

While visiting Lake Koshkonong for the first time we were directed to the Island Bar and Grill for a meal. Soo glad we headed that way. The food and service were incredible and the live entertainment was awesome.
We had vehicle issues while visiting and the staff went over the top in accommodating us, getting us to our hotel for the night, and repairs the next morning. Really made the best what normally would have been a pretty bad situation. Thanks soo much

We were there for Roxstar yesterday and what a fantastic time. I would love to give a HUGE shout out to Our waitress Brooke who did any amazing job and was the sweetest thing. They were very busy yesterday and she always showed up to her tables with a smile. I’m sure all the girls are amazing but we feel very blessed to have had her as our waitress and we look forward to returning and seeing her again along with meeting some of the other girls! And the food? DELISH. That pretzel was pretty wild

Fun stop on the motorcycle. Large outdoor seating area, and there were plenty of servers around, so no waiting for service. There was a fishing tournament going on, so the sponsors' banners blocked the view on the river. Hopefully, that is a one-time deal, and they are not up permanently.

This place is pretty cool. Great place to sit next to the river, bird watch, and catch some live music on their riverside stage. I don't think their food is anything special, but it doesn't really need to be; come here for the awesome atmosphere and budget-friendly drinks.
