We were lucky enough to catch the new owner just as he was opening. Hours in mid November are limited. He played the role of host and order taker, as we placed our order at the counter. When asked what he recommended he describe the walnut and mint diet of the kurobuta pig resulting in the best chop he's ever had. After a bit of friendly banter he handed us our order number and pointed us to any table of our choice. Not much has changed inside the newly named Skaliwags. It has the wooden booths and tables and gorgeously aged hardwood floor. The nearly two inch thick grilled chop was presented on a garlic-potato mash with asparagus. My husband ordered the filet mignon. Both dishes we deliciou...
Trick or Treat? Ours was NOT a treat! Cafeteria-style dining. Porterhouse steak was described as 1-1/2” thick and was at best 5/8” thick, fillet steak was 1/2” thick, over salted and cold. Maybe you should go all the way with cafeteria-style and have patrons stand in line while food is cooked and then the food will be warm when ready to eat. Two steaks two glasses of wine for $160.00 with gratuity! Very disappointing expensive dinner date!
Similar to Culver's, you walk in, order, and pay right away. Then you receive a number and find a seat while you wait for your food to be brought to you. We both tried the Cuban sandwich. The ingredients were fresh, but the sandwich was somewhat dry and could use more mustard or a similar condiment. Overall, it was a decent experience, but nothing extraordinary.
This is my second visit in two weeks, and the consistency is impressive. The mahi was perfectly flaky, and the asparagus was seared to perfection. I might return later this week, as I'm exploring different restaurants three times a week. The chef and staff made an effort to connect with diners during the meal, which added to the overall experience.

Met friends here for lunch. Very friendly staff. Loved the decor. The food was fab had the Cuban delicious! Their nan bread is fantastic. Chef Chris came out to chat and ask about our meal. Great guy! Everyone else in our group raved about their lunches. Highly recommend!
While you may not think this place might be the best, it surely is. Everyone is very friendly and the food was amazing! Chef Chris even came out after everyone in the place had their food and made sure everyone was enjoying their food. Highly recommend!
Skaliwags is the best that Door County has to offer! Chef Chris and his team are fantastic. As returning guests, we always look forward to a delicious meal. Don’t just walk or drive by—make sure to stop at Skaliwags. You won’t be disappointed!
Enjoyed the BLT on pita bread. But $18.00 for a blt? On the bright side no one ordered a 62 dollar steak. Food was really good but the prices are high for Chicago, crazy for fish Creek. Oddly, there were very few customers when we were there.

Quite possibly the very best burger I have ever had! Enjoyed sitting outside. Chef Chris checked on us several times, staff delivered our drinks and refilled water several times. No complaints at all!
