Bill Fritts' Browns

Camping for the weekend. Tried to go somewhere else to try some place new but it was closedBrowns was not busy. Still setting up from being closed for COVID. WAITRESS WAS GREAT and the food was great. We sat out on the deck and ten all of a sudden the boats started rolling in. They have a guy that comes out and hooks up your boat! We had burgers and black & blue wrap, fries and onion rings. Everything was to brag about although we agreed the black & blue wrap could have used more blue cheese. Worth the stop!

This is a must stop if you're on the water. The views and location is amazing. They recently redid the bathrooms this season which is great. They have okay food. The Madison burger is very good, but sometimes it comes on Texas toast, which I was not a fan off. I think before I got it on something different. They have good wraps and mozzarella sticks. Strong drinks. Sometimes the servers are hit or miss, but that's because they are usually packed on the weekends. There are a lot of boat slips, but it may be hard to find one mid day on a Saturday. Great loCal! Views! People! Remember though there is no wake out front on the middle channel.

I just hopped in the boat and brought the family today. We parked with ease (Monday) and there was a good crowd there. Food was fast and prompt, the Bloody Mary and fireball was nice and stiff. Bartender and wait staff were prompt and professional. BIG portions of food for the money, though menu was limited because they just opened and covid so totally not their fault. The place was generally clean and everything looked neat. This will be our hot spot for the summer when we travel. Anyone who gave 3 stars is a little too critical I think. We had a good time!

I've never been to Harsens Island before and my family and I ventured out on a Sunday afternoon drive. My Mom always raved how great Browns is so I had high expectations. I was quickly disappointed the second I walked through the wooden screen door. My family and I walked in and we were told their would be a 15 minute wait. I couldn't understand why. The place was dead and their was at least 10 waitresses standing around texting on their iPhones. When we were finally seated it took out waitress over 20 minutes to get drink orders and introduce herself. She then told us they were out of about 10 common menu items (fries, rings, chicken, etc) My family and I ordered cheese sticks as an Appetizer. Very tasteless. Then again they were out of ranch to dip them in! I ordered a fish sandwich as my meal. I assumed that since the restaurant was on the water that the fish would be fresh. The bun was way too large and hard for the tiny over fried piece of fish. I would have been more satisfied getting a fish filet sandwich from McDonalds. I wouldn't suggest this for a family get together, especially with younger children. I felt like I got an STD just walking into the bathroom with all the half naked men and women around.

Most items on the menu that are fried are generic BUT the mixed drinks are strong and view is beautiful. It's definitely a must visit place!

The only thing going for this place is that it's on the water and it's open in the summer. The staff is uninterested in waiting on tables. They baffle the patrons on who will wait on their table. No process and no concern. If there was an once of competition, they'd be out of business.

what's not to love!!!you're at browns!!!! everybody's having a great time!!" the Big Crunchy" fish sandwich is great!!2 for 1 Madison burgers on Monday Cool beerBig loud boats

They call this a family place, but on their website, women in thong bikinis and barely there bikini tops are displayed. Before you walk in there's a sign on the window GUNS GUTS GOD which is disgusting and at the bar, they have a mannekin rastafarian with a giant bottle of booze in front of them (RACIST!) You can barely hear anything anyone's saying bc of the blasting blare of the nonstop heavy metal music. Mostly over forty crowd trying to be seen.The waitress was great and the food came hot and fast. The drinks were ice cold, fantastic. However, the perch was so overfried had to gnaw on it to tear a piece off. Lots of very annoying flies. I wouldn't come here again and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

Browns..perfect place to go by boat rain or shine.Currently raining, but we're inside looking out and that's cool.Madison Monday is always a blast!#Madisonburgersrule!

We went here on the Fourth of July and the gave me raw salmon. Service wasn't the fastest, but the server was pleasant.
