Food isn't that bad(depending on the cook), service isn't that bad(depending on the waitress). Have had a mixture of good/bad experiences here. Do not like the bartenders here(seems they will serve their friends or the Bruce Power worker first). I would rather save money and drink at home).

I enjoyed my visit to this local watering hole. In the summer, you can enjoy a drink on the patio and the kitchen is open even during late night hours. The menu is your typical bar menu with a few exceptions. The salads are nice. The only regrettable thing is the fact that they do not have cider on tap.

Friendly bartender, great wings, busy place on wing night. I have a cottage in Sauble Beach, and often make the trip to Port Elgin for a bite to eat. (Winter & Summer) The Wismer House definitely has the best wings, and cold beers! Summer can be tough to find a seat on the patio, it's seems to be jammed everytime... More

We are doing winter camping at MacGregor Point this winter. My birthday is soon and all I wanted was wings! I read on Trip Advisor and Restaurantica how great the wings were at the Wismer, so we decided to go today (Wednesday) for wing night. We arrived late afternoon when it was not too busy. Very pleasant bartender when we... More

We were there for Halloween and it was packed. The service there leaves a little to be disired, when there is something going on, like a band or event etc., but they try. They need to hire more waitresses for these times. The food there is just your average bar food.

even though there were two parties taking place, we were still served quite quickly. The food is really good and plentiful.

We enjoyed our dinner at the Wismer House. We had wings, and fried pickles for appetizers. I had a great salad for dinner. The singer that played outside was great. A nice place for a casual dinner.

we haven't seen a restaurant in ontario with ashtrays at the tables in years, it was a little surprising. when we got the first whiff of smoke with our dinner, we remembered how much we hated that! they seem to tolerate smokers on the patio. hell, encourage them, i guess, with ashtrays and such. there was like, 10 people smoking...
