Food/Dining : Sister Bay

J.J.’s on the Bay/La Puerta (Mexican/American)
Hwy. 42, 10961 N. Bay Shore Drive
920-854-4513
L/D (Family)

Had both lunch and dinner here. The burgers are awesome – thick, juicy, flavorful with lots of options - very good. One of the few places to get a great burger (see also Bayside Tavern, and Digger’s). You can lunch for about $8 - $10 per person.

The ribs were delicious – nice big rack of ribs with a zesty sauce that leaves you wanting more! The steak was very good too. Nice quick service, friendly staff, nice bar, and you can get Mexican or American on either side of the restaurant. And from what I hear, this is the place for Mexican. We have eaten in a couple of other "Mexican" places in Door County that were not that great. Lots of locals go here regularly, so that’s a good sign, and our experience backs that up.

For dinner, the ribs were tender, flavorful with a zesty sauce, and the New York strip was perfectly done. You can have dinner for about $10 - $15 per person, depending on what you want.

It looks like a place you would pass up, because it is off the beaten path – not smack dab in the middle of town, or a whole bunch of other restaurants – it is right near the marina, and rather isolated, even though it is on the main Hwy 42. Lots of neon in the windows hawking the beers that are available – so if you look for neon (not an often seen thing in the County) you will find JJs and La Puerta!
So take a stop for lunch or dinner, we think you will enjoy it.
