Just had our first visit last night for a Friday Fish Fry. The walleye I had was awesome and my husband had the perch and we both decided that it was the best fish fry that we have ever had. We will be going back many times in the future. The service was great, not too crowded for a Friday night. A real gem-check them out.

Something changed? Went for dinner and left pretty disappointed. Prices were high and food
Was just mediocre. Did they change ownership? Not sure but I’m not likely going back

The chicken wings are the best I've ever had every time I get them. The pub fries made me never want fries from anywhere else ever again. The pizzas are so loaded with toppings, you really get your money's worth. Always a nice, quiet atmosphere. Never have a problem getting a turn at the pool table.

My favorite place to go out. Amazing service, the owners and top chef were amazing,, the food is so tasty and I love going here. I would be a local here if I lived near Waterford. The atmosphere is comforting and the low lights feel safe. Whenever I go home I crave the Cruise. I would work here if I got the chance!

What an anniversary dinner... Drinks requested "top shelf" -recieved rail premix.. waitress forgot the appetizer, got an undercooked pizza and a super well done "medium" burger. Ate what it was with no silverware or napkins. Writing this from kwik trip for a decent meal... makes sense why the business is for sale.

We tried their fish fry. The food was good, but the fish was insultingly small for $19. They also charged for lemons which is bogus. Overall won't be back for their fish fry, but we may try other items on the menu.

The food arrived not as warm as I would have liked, BUT, there was only one server. My party arrived shortly after the restaurant opened and quickly became very busy. The server did a great jun but was overwhelmed until help arrived! The food however was very good albeit the temperature was not. The hostess was most gracious in apologizing and I will return in the future.

I love the Cruise for a fish fry, but we ventured there on a Saturday and asked for a margarita on the rocks. The waitress brought us strawberry margaritas that were pure syrup. We asked if they had lime margaritas (what you expect when you ask for a margarita), Chris, the bartender came over and asked us if we wanted another flavor. He made the lime margaritas and brought them over, but again they were pure syrup in a pint glass. The service and food was great, but the margaritas were awful.

The food was great! The service however was a bit slow and when we first got there it was not packed. It took the waitress a long time to come to our table to order and then to bring back our drinks. Not sure if they were possibly short staffed? But she did apologize and was attentive. I would go back because the food was that good and maybe like I said the wait staff was short.

Had to try their Friday night fish dinner! It did not disappoint that’s for sure!!
Out in the middle of nowhere, for sure, but worth it.

Enjoyed a cup of their French onion soup. My entree was their 3 piece beer batter cod with coleslaw, applesauce, roll and choice of side, mine was the potato pancake. (Not what I was expecting, but it was, 2 very good hash browns) I enjoyed a hard cider with the meal. Loved the fish!! Now I know, why the parking lot is so full on Friday nights!
They also have an assortment of ice cream. I didn’t try this time but will next visit.

Stopped here for private event in their gathering room. The food is a good example of American cuisine. The bar has an amazing selection of both craft brews and liquors.

We had the lasagna and breadsticks, both were delicious. I lasagna was made with real sausage, not ground beef and canned sauce.

I can't comment on any dine-in experience. However, my family is a HUGE fan of the Cruise's Pizza. We generally call in our order and we have found that the time they give for pickup has always been accurate. More importantly, the pizza is hot out of the oven and after a short drive home we always enjoy the most delicious pizza. We have never had a poor experience with our take out orders. We look forward to our next visit and another delicious pizza.

We originally tried to go to the safe house downtown Milwaukee. It was too crowded and the wait was almost 2 hours. We ended up at the cruise which was close to our rental home. We we're blown away. We we're a group of 16. They gave us the private room. The food was amazing. Like really, really good. The pork belly fries, rustic pizza and classic pizza we're my favorite. The owners were amazing and treated us so we'll. The night ended with full bellies, warm hugs, and fond memories. Definite must.

We love this place! Located in an area where bar food and run of the mill menu choices reign supreme, this is the only option for creative cuisine. The taps are all Central Waters brewing. And the bottled beer selection rivals most big city restaurants. You can't go wrong here if you're looking for something a little different.
