I visited in August 2025. Great place, nice people, always a spot at the bar for a friendly face. Of course Kelly was working (I call everyone Kelly). She'll joke with you but trying to keep everyone's orders, the noise from the kids, and current events straight will drive anyone nuts. She carries on and will make your day nice so come on down and say high to Kelly and help keep her and you sane.
We came here for some pizza, and immediately found out new favorite pizza place. They have a pretty big selection of pizzas and you can make your own, of course. We loved the Island (their take on a Hawaiian pizza) and the Angler (sausage mushroom onion) in particular. They have lots of appetizers that are great too.
Very popular, and Famous food in the Area . Wide variety and combinations of pizza offerings including crust. All good! Huge number of appetizers. Family run, great service. Docking from the water available.
A+ Wisconsin restaurant! The service was great, staff was very attentive and the restaurant had a very cool and clean atmosphere. The homemade pizza was 10/10 and I SO appreciated that they have some healthy options on the menu. I got the Sedona Salad and would absolutely order it again. You can tell the owners and staff out a lot of care into this place. A new fav for our fam.
First visit in years. It hasn't changed in years. Great atmosphere and decor. This place can be very crowded so take that into consideration. I sat at the bar. There is a quality tap selection. The bar keep was very busy but managed to get me a beer. The menu is small but varied, interestingly, no burgers are available. They specialize in pizzas which are superb. had a beef dip which I thought was fantastic. Popcorn is always available. TV's are easy to view. Parking is ok but can get tight on busy evenings. An outdoor patio is available. My only complaint was the long wait between getting my first drink and getting my food order taken. Side note, they offer high-end bourbons if that interests you. Will be back.
One of our favorite spots when in the area. I am always appreciative of how great their service is, even when they are bonkers busy. Pizza is solid — some of the best in the Hayward area. Drink menu is great and Buffalo Trace old fashioned was delicious. Look forward to the next visit.
Came for the pizza, will be back for the pizza! As NY transplants we have not stopped looking for our idea of good pizza. We finally found some of the best pizza we've had since leaving NY when we went to Anglers Haven. We loved it, our kids loved it, heck the dogs loved the crumbs from the leftovers.
If you are Leinenkugels a fan of you will love Angler’s Haven! Home base for a wonderful lakeside resort with several cabins. Make sure to order a pizza - they are fantastic.
