Island Bay Pier House

An excellent Friday night fish fry! The haddock was pristine, white and incredibly flaky, fried to perfection in a house beer batter. And the house made tartar sauce was delectable! We shared an order of fried cheese curd and those were simply yummy, and came with both marinara and a sweet chili sauce. Who know how yummy sweet chilly sauce was on fried cheese? Not this girl! Well I do now, and I'm hooked! Nice friendly staff, and a great value!

Holy Good Food Batman. How have I passed this place for years and never stopped?!?!? All this time lost eating sub-par food when I could have eaten here!!!

I love the options. I love that there are off menu specials. Gluten free is also offered which is a big deal to my family.

The fish fry is so amazing! In fact it was so good we went back the next night and got take out!

Do yourself a favor, eat here! You won’t regret it. Best food in the area hands down! My kids even loved it too!

This was a cozy little find we stumbled on when we visited Alexandria Bay during the off season. Prices were reasonable and portions were huge! Food was absolutely delicious and I loved their Moscato (super sweet, crisp and lightly carbonated). They have the option to serve a round to the kitchen staff- which I definitely recommend after the food we received. Our server was Tay and even with a packed house we felt attended to and everyone who worked there, worked to keep things running smoothly. The hostess was super friendly and attentive as well!

If you're looking for GOOD food in this area, this is the place to be. And if they happen to be serving the smoked prime rib when you're there, you'd be remiss not to get it. One of the best smoked prime ribs any of the people I was with have ever had.
This place really knows their food, prepare to tuck in and eat until you can't move. And the decorations are so unique - so fun to look around.
Recommend!

Great restaurant. Friendly waitress. Good food. Nice bar area. Clean. Bathrooms were nice also

Went to dinner with the wife. I had fish and chips(Haddock), she had steak fettuccine. Everything was prepared perfectly and tasted delicious. Our server Shannon was top notch. Don't live in the area, but this will definitely be a stop for us everytime we come. UPDATE 9-17-22: Guess what? Food is still just as good as the 1st time, 2nd, 3rd,etc. Jordan the server was awesome. When we're in the area, we always stop.

We had a great experience here. We had the lobster Mac n cheese from the regular menu and the chicken cordon bleu fettuccine on the nightly specials. Both entrees excellent. Also, the soup of day lobster bisque was excellent and was a real lobster bisque. Food came fast, hot and looked great. Great service was extra friendly and very attentive. Fair prices. Casual atmosphere but upscale food choices. Large bar too. Nice job!!

In an attempt to try all the places recently listed in the NBC Watertown "best wings", our travels took us to Clayton and the Island Bay Pier. Plenty of parking, nice clean bathrooms and a good ambiance. Our server was very attentive to us with a great sense of humour.

With nothing standing out as particularly spicy, we went with the house recommendation of the "Sweet Heat" which was honey, sriracha and spices. For 20 wings, we were surprised at how quick they came out of the kitchen. Tremendous aroma of honey and spice. Very, dare I say, attractive wings.

First bites were that of the delicious sticky sauce and plump, juicy white chicken. The flats were done very well, whereas my "complaints" would lie with the drums. Almost too big for the their own good, they could have used a couple more minutes in the frier. Could also have done with much more heat; habanero or ghost pepper minimum level to pair with the sweetness, but that is a personal preference.

Also must give props for the 6/12 portion options which you don't see enough in this area, though we opted for the 20/$20 deal which was very sufficient. All in all I'd say this was a great deal for your money, and a nice change from the bulk frozen wings you get at many places these days.

Very excellent of entrees and appetizers. Staff is wonderful. Debbie at the bar is awesome. Definitely check this place out. They also do a really nice brunch on Sundays.

Wonderful food, great service. Highly recommend. Not fancy but chef is very creative. Had both dinner and breakfast there. Well worth it!

What an awesome place to eat! The atmosphere is is welcoming and warm. The restaurant is decorated so tastefully and very clean.
The food was served very hot which is a big plus, and Jordan is the server that took care of us and he was great-Professional and approachable.
I highly recommend this place and I will definitely be back.

Our waiter Jordan was so great. He took such good care of our party of 11. He also helped me announce my pregnancy to my family members at dinner. We will always remember that moment! We love this place, great food, have been there multiple times for breakfast and dinner. Overall, highly recommend!!

My new favorite spot! Always creative and delicious dishes, with unique specials changing all the time. Good food made with love and it’s noticed

I don’t know how so many people rated 1 star - this place, the food, the staff, and patrons are WONDERFUL! The chicken parm was the best I’ve had since moving to North Country. The steak Alfredo and Buffalo chicken dip were also delicious! Huge portions so dishes are definitely shareable. We can’t wait to go back!

My husband and I went for lunch on a Sunday and this was our first time here! It was phenomenal!! The food was absolutely amazing. I had the chicken and waffles and my husband had the Baileys French toast with a side of biscuits and gravy. My Alabama born and raised husband said that their biscuits and gravy were the best he has ever had!!! I highly recommend this place for brunch!

Fantastic food, service, prices and atmosphere. Very cozy.

On a family vacation & we stopped here (after being told at Foxy's restaurant that the wait would be 30 min even though they had 4 or 5 empty tables that were set & ready to go). We arrived here after 8pm & got a seat right away. A large party had just sat down before us & Abigail (host) mentioned to us that the kitchen was serving the large party & the wait would be 30 minutes or so. We weren't in any hurry so we waited. Abigail then came back to our table & said they were short staffed on servers so she would be our server. She took our order & it came out about 20 min later. Everything was delicious! My husband had the clam chowder & seafood Alfredo & said it was the best clam chowder he ever had! I had the bacon cheese burger & it was cooked perfectly. Our daughters had the Buffalo chicken Sammie & fish fry. All food was hot & fresh. Even the croutons on the salad were homemade! We head home in 2 days but may return tomorrow! Excellent food! Great service! Thanks Abigail!

The food is always delicious. The staff is always friendly and attentive.

Pleasantly surprised with this place! Some of the best food I have had, ever and very well priced! We met the owner, Adam, who seems to take great pride in his business and puts customer satisfaction first. His team was welcoming, helpful, and attentive to our satisfaction. Our waitress, Taylor, made us feel right at home and kept us laughing the entire time we were there.

Go to this restaurant, you will not be sorry!

This will be our first stop when we come back!

Very nice restaurant with reasonable prices, great last stop on our trip to Clayton. We really liked that the dining room was segmented so that it felt like an intimate meal despite having a bar full of people. I ordered the caprese-like chicken sandwich and it was delicious, and they also had a lot of local brews on tap to try! Would definitely recommend.
