  Diner Beware. We have eaten here many times in the almost twenty years since they opened, (originally Babes restaurant). Until recently we have ordered burgers, sandwiches, breakfast and various ethnic dinners. Food and service has been just adequate for a typical Greek place, but no complaints about cleanliness, prices or atmosphere until our last and I do mean our last as in final visit ever. What changed to elicit this decision? Glad you asked. On our final dinning experience I decided to order a steak (porterhouse) even though my wife suggested not to because they arent a steak house. I ordered it anyway because at $18.95 for 16oz., I thought it could be mediocre like everything else here but still be a reasonably good deal for that price. I could not have been more mistaken and disappointed. After trying to cut into this piece of medium rare meat in several places with the provided steak knife and struggling to do so, it became obvious I was served a piece of boot leather. I sent it back without having one bite and declined to have another to replace it because everyone else in our party would be finished before then. Mike the owner came over to inform me that it was a black angus steak and there was nothing wrong with it. He indicated that I dont know how to cut a steak properly. Really? Im 66 years old and have cut and consumed more then my share of steaks both good a few bad, but only this inedible one to date.Most of their meals come with choice of potato, soup or salad, a glass of wine or beer and a desert. I ate the salad because it comes before the meal as always. When we got the check it included that salad and all the drinks we ordered, a salad that is all iceberg lettuce and little else, their cost probably less then $1.00. I didnt expect to be compt for anything but neither did I expect this. I told them how foolish this was because we had several drinks each which helps their bottom line for that table and in addition were losing repeat customers over a cheap salad. Even after bringing this to their attention they would not back down. A definite case of being penny wise and pound foolish.15 Jan, 2014Won’t go back again.

  Just plain terrible!. My wife and I went there for a couple of steaks about a month ago. Big mistake! Talk about shoe leather. Maybe the cook was a vegetarian, because he (she) certainly had never cooked a piece of meat before. The waitress was OK, and we didn’t complain, its just not our style. Other items on the menu may not suffer the same fate, but since I won’t eat there again, I’ll never know.

  Best Panini Ever!. I’ve tried alot of Panini’s elsewhere, but never had one as tasty as at Blue Bay Family Restaurant in Mukwonago WI. The fact that they use the superior Black Forest Ham explains partly why it’s go good-but the sandwich is grilled just right and the toppings are of the highest quality as well.If you’re in the Milwaukee, Kenosha or Lake Geneva area you got make the short trip to this quaint village and stop for a meal here.

  Blue Bay. This is a classic family style restaurant with a big menu that has a lot of choices. The service was very polite and speedy. Plus, it’s not too hard to find.
