Do you close in winter and if so when

Not this year! We are open throughout the winter other than a few holiday days that we close for and post on Facebook. Hope to see you soon!

When dibthey close for the season

They do close for a couple months an reopen for lent period.

I come up about once a year and have been visiting Jolly Rogers since before they had seating! Walk up only. My question, can we order any of your breading on line?

I think u can only walk in an order i dont believe u can order online

Do you offer gift cards at a discount during the holidays?

This is the best freshest seafood around. Wonderful reasonably priced food. Great people work there. Gail

What is the hotel beside u we are coming in september

Clinton suites, are stay there was comfortable and clean, and a great sunset view

how long has this restaurant been in business?

Though we do not have any records dating back that far, to the best of our knowledge things began in the late 70's. There was originally no indoor seating and we have a photo at the restaurant of the original building dated 1980 along with a photo of the place after the dining room was added in 1991. Check it out the next time you stop in!

When do you reopen

We are open every day at 11am! Stop in and check out our new menu items. Fresh salmon skewers served with quinoa rice or a crab cake sandwich! Hope to see you soon!

Do they take m/c cards ?

Yes

Do they serve alcohol

No, but the fish, unlike prior years, is great!. Changed batter, oil or both?

Delicious food, reasonable pricing, and friendly customer service. Made the trip up to the lake that much more worth it!

Always a good stop. Stay with the Perch platter or the Walleye. If you get Saltwater seafood not so much, Cod was sent back. The pulled pork was good too if you're with seafood eaters and you are not. Love the waffle fries. And help yourself unlimited soft drinks are a hit with the kids. Price is a little high hence the 4 stars, but we always make a stop when we're at the lake.

Excellent local fried fish shop. They also have waffle fries and some great onion rings. This spot can be quite busy and crowded in the summer as tourist traffic is heavy. The meals can be pricy, but not unreasonable for an occasional dinner out. The interior is well kept, but far from modern - as it should be. Worth a stop if you are in the area.

Great fried seafood. While the menu is limited, mostly locally sourced, it is done with such skill you stand in line just to order at the walk up counter, though you can call ahead and have your order brought out to your car. Walleye and Perch are the mainstays that are breaded before your eyes.

Probably one of the best places to get perch in Port Clinton. Prices are really reasonable and the food is fantastic. They can get really busy so it's a good idea to call in your order ahead!

It was pretty good. Customer service was excellent. The cashier was on the phone trying to fix the computer she was taking orders on. She apologized over and over and tried to take our order in between being put on hold. She did, recommended a dish for me, and gave us a discount for our wait/ patience. The food was good. I enjoyed the hush puppies. Birthday boy enjoyed the fried Oysters. Neither of us cared for or entrée perch n chips or chicken n chips.

This is fast food fish and chips at its best. The portion size was huge for the price. The Perch and Walleye were very good. Fresh fish and freshly breaded. We were there on a Sunday and it was busy. We ended up eating in our vehicle as the place was packed...but it was all good.

Super busy on a Saturday at lunch, so space was uncomfortably tight, but that is how you know the food is good! The perch and fries are great, and the power bowl is a delicious option for those who prefer something healthier. I had the seared sesame Ahi tuna bowl and enjoyed it thoroughly. It was brought out very quickly, also. I would go back.

Great food however this past Sunday was a pandemic disaster. All staff wore masks around their neck not over their nose or mouth! Only when they delivered food to customers did they pull up their mask. All seating filled to capacity. The only social distancing was at the order line with reminder symbols 6 feet apart on the floor. This place needs to take this serious and clean up and enforce the COVID-19 regulations!!

Well worth the drive to this legendary Port Clinton establishment! Fresh Lake Perch breaded and fried to order. Amazing flavor and cooked to the perfect mix of crispy, tender perfection. Might have to choose your visit well, however. It can get very crowded in the small dining room.

This was my 1st time at Jolly Roger's. My Mom and Sissy have been there before. All weekend she was telling me about it! We went fishing on the Instigator and our 1st mate STAN coraberated Mommas story that this is the BEST PLACE ON THE LAKE FOR FRESH, DELICIOUS, AMAZING LAKE ERIE PERCH!! I am more than impressed. If your in the area stop here it's the absolutely best fish I've ever had!

3 perch dinners and 2 onion rings came to $55. There was a long line out front to get in and it was highly recommended so we ordered curbside. It wasn't exactly what we expected. With tip we paid $60 and threw part of it away.

This place was right next to our hotel but was worth EVERY penny!!! The employees were super dope, service was awesome even after ordering. They say they have the best perch, which was good but HANDS DOWN they have some of the BEST Walleye I've ever had!! The fish was juicy, tender, and lightly breaded. The clams were also a nice size and very tasty as well. Combo of great food and patio seating, that's hard to beat.

Our group was in Port Clinton for a semi annual fishing trip however the restaurant that we frequented that would cook up our catch of the day was closed due to the virus restrictions.I contacted Jolly Rogers and they told me bring in our cleaned fish and they would cook it up and offered us several selections for sides.They had our order ready in approx 20 mins and I am here to tell you that trying as hard as we could our group of 6 very hungry fisherman could not finish all of the food.I highly recommend JOLLY ROGERS for visiting fisherman that want to enjoy an excellent catch of the day fish fry with all of the sides.The above was a carry-out only because of the virus restrictions and even though it was pouring down rain the young waitress helped load the numerous boxes into our truck.Do business with these folks and remember to tip generously.

Jolly Rogers is a place you must eat at whenever in the area. They offer a variety of seafood including yellow perch and my favorite, walleye. They also have good hush puppies and fried mushrooms. I usually get the walleye and chips (delicious waffle fries). The portions are large for what you pay. For what one fillet costs at other restaurants, you can get both fillets of the fish and a whole potato's worth of fries. It is usually very busy and you will most likely have to wait in a line that wraps around the side of the building, but it is worth the wait! The staff there are very friendly and your food arrives at your table very quickly. You can dine either inside or out in the pavilion. We normally eat outside so we can enjoy the sunshine and feel the nice cool breeze coming off of the lake. Eat there today and enjoy delicious locally sourced food at a fair price.

Great food. Perch is always good, tried the shrimp and it was huge size shrimp cooked perfectly. I am more of lighter batter type, but the coating is not too heavy, good crunch and served hot. Place is always packed so you know they are doing something right. Price is very reasonable for amount of food you get.

The fish was so good! You must get the Walleye because it's the best. The Cole slaw was tasty but the onion rings were obliterated under the fish by the time I got it home.They provided a variety of sauces but they were not make and unknown what they were for. Overall.... I enjoyed the food and would order again.

After a great morning fishing Lake Erie, we stopped at the Jolly Roger Seafood House for lunch at the recommendation of Captain Dirk. Not very impressive on the outside, it is a jewel for fried fish inside. There was quite a line which usually indicates a good place to eat. At a patio table, three of us had the perch and chips (aka waffle fries) while my son feasted on both walleye and perch with onion rings. They were all delish!
