Note: I only came here for a drink, didn't eat food.
Note: I would never come back.
My mom and I visited PIB for the wine fesival last weekend and decided to have a drink before we took the ferry back to the "Main land". Â We sat a table waiting for a waitress and we waited and we waited and we waited. Â No waitress. Â So, I went to the bar to get a couple of beers. Â There was literally a bartender standing across the bar from me, but he was completely obvlious to the fact I wanted a drink. Â After I raised my arrms a few time and asked for help, he was willing to oblige. Â
I asked what beers were from Ohio and he gave me a bottle of Mt. Carmel (excellent, by the way). I asked for two of the same, but they didn't have two of the same, so I got one IPA and one amber beer. Â I asked for two glasses, which seemed to bother the bartender. Â I will say, I'm glad I did, they were nice and ice cold! Â I then noticed the caps on the bottles were not screw tops and were not opened. Â I then had to flag down another bartender to get them to open them. Â
The place is a dive, but I'm sure on weekends when it's full of drunks listening to music and dancing. Â If I were 10 years younger, I would be doing that....
There are plenty of places to eat and drink on PIB and I would not come back to Frosty's.
Having lived in both NYC and Chicago, we know a thing or two about the spectrum of highly regarded pizza and Frosty is up there in the pantheon. Â Their pizza is certainly unique in that you'll not find something similar at a chain like Papa John's, Pizza Hut, Â or Domino's -- more cheese, to be sure, with a thin but not wafer-like crust. Â The quality is first-rate with standards like pepperoni (well, triple) as well as originals like the Chicken Enchilada pizza and Buffalo Chicken Ranch pizza. Â There's something for everyone that's sure to please depending on the mood of your group.
Frosty is not all about pizza (and cold beer!): Â No trip to the island is complete without their breakfast that includes great handcrafted originals like the Country Benedict (biscuits topped with scrambled eggs and gravy) and Bacon Banana Bread Pancakes (name doesn't say it all as there are walnuts in the mix). Â The eye-opener cocktails are serviceable on a bad day and pleasant surprises when mixed just right. Â There are also several sandwiches for the lunch/dinner crowd when not up for pizza, and I've heard that Mexican food on the new back patio is one of the best additions to the island in many years although I haven't yet tried it for myself.
Frosty Bar -- there's good reason they've been going strong for over 60 years and should be around for at least 60 more!
Good ol' frostys!! PIB's main pizza place with everything! The pizza's are pretty good here for island food. You can easily split between 2-3 people. If you want to have a drink after the bar/dance floor is right next door. They are know for their large frosty beer mugs. They pretty much have all the basics on draft. We always change our pizza up at this place.....they can handle just about anything. Great service and the wait is minimal. If you are in PIB you will defiantly be a frostys-at least once! PS huge patio out back!
Review Source:Best pizza place, ever. Hands down. The service is speedy, and it connects to the Frosty bar, which is a staple in my good Put In Bay memories (that I can remember).
It's overpriced, so what. You're on Put In Bay! Indulge!
Full bar, AND they open early for breakfast (pancakes and Bloody Mary's, whaaaaat!)
The Buffalo Chicken Ranch pizza is my favorite - give it a try!
Frosty's equals Put-in-Bay for me, until recently.
As a child, I remember we would go over to the island for the day, do all the family activities like the monument and the caves and then we would go to Frosty's before we hopped on the Jet Express to head back home.
Well this time, we decided to hit up the well-known location for lunch on the first day we were on the island. Well, their pizza use to be cheesy, thick crusted, and epic in tastiness (and calorie count).
Now, the pizza literally tasted like one of those microwavable brands and half of our group got a stomach ache. Out of the three pizzas we ordered, maybe  a total of one was completely consumed. This was not a one-time occurrence either. Upon further research (aka asking people around the island and family members) we realized that within the last year the pizza has gone down hill.
Luckily, that is not the only thing that Frosty's is good for. It so just happens to be a bar, which most people on the island are looking for anyways. Half of Frosty's is the pizza place and the other side has an indoor bar that goes from jukebox chill drinking during the day to full on dance floor and rave at night.
But alas, patios win me over every time. Frosty's now has an outdoor patio complete with a large bar, chairs, and tables. AND what tops the patio off is they have a Big Man's Burrito stand in the back. This selection and food completely makes up for their complete bomb of pizza (sorry for being tough). You basically get to choose the toppings you want and if you want it in the form of tacos, burrito, nachos, salad, etc. But be careful some of the toppings are an "extra" cost and you won't find out until you get rung up.
So Frosty's my nostalgic feelings towards you will keep me coming back--- but only to the good half!
Frosty's is a nice place for drinks. The new patio area is beautiful and very well done. Â Be warned that their pizza is just a step above frozen. Â They do not make their own crust, instead using the cardboard variety. I guess that is why they put way too much cheese on their pies to make up for it. Â Their working staff is great, considering that there is a big girl there, who I think is the owner's daughter, that treats them like crap in front of the customers. Â Real classy! I guess she is jealous because everyone that works there is better looking than her. Can't comment on the breakfast or the Mexican food, but the rest is very, very average.
Review Source:This is one of those places where you're put off before you even walk in the door. The door girl was really crabby.
You couldn't move in here. Not a bad thing for Frosty's but bad for me and my sanity.
Drinks were served in dixie cups but you paid for pints. Not heavy on the alcohol either. I did notice they had a decent beer selection. And they should since they have a beer mug as their logo.
I wanted to try the pizza since everyone raves about it. We never had the chance.
Sucky atmosphere with a frat boy crowd. Not fun.
Over a 3 day visit to Put-in-Bay, we came to Frosty... 3 times. Â The 1st night was all about dancing and having a good time. Â The DJs were friendly and played just about any song that we requested and their might have been a bit of dancing on the bar to celebrate one of the bar staff's birthday.
The 2nd night was all about Halloween and pizza. Â One of those in our group really wanted the pizza so we got 2 - BBQ and another one that I can't quite remember. Â They were both spicy and had so many toppings that the crust could barely hold them. Â It was great drinking food!
The 3rd day was a stop for lunch. Â They serve typical bar food and the crowd still seemed pretty large.
My third summer visit to Catawba Island. Â Frosty's has become the perfect go-to for lunch with a crowd of hungry children and adults after a refreshing boat ride. Â There's always a bit of a jostle to find table to push together, but the crowd is friendly.
Of course, you have to get the peanuts and throw the shells on the ground.
Frosted glasses for the beer- I mean, the place is called Frosty's!
This place was CLUTCH. Our rental didn't have ESPN, and the NBA playoffs were on. Every other bar on Delaware Ave. had a DJ and some loud music and the ones that didn't have loud ass music weren't serving food. So where is a sports fan to go?
The bar side here is connected to the dining side which is great for taking a breather or fueling up with some food for a long night of drinking. Also, this is the place of one of the better breakfasts on the island. My night had the game on a big screen TV, a pretty delicious pepperoni pizza, and a pitcher of beer. And the best part? It wasn't overpriced like the rest of the Avenue.
This was a great night up until the police department threatened to tow my golf cart so i ended up leaving early.
Ah Frostys. Â In between the pseudo upscale bars and oonce oonce dance clubs, you stand as a somewhat shady hole in the wall with oh-so-delicious pizza. Â
Photo hunt machine? Check. Smaller contingent of d-bag fratholes? Check. A place that feels more like a local neighborhood bar than a cash whore designed to fleece tourists of their money? Â You bet.
I can't think of a better place at PIB to get a good base of pizza in your belly before a long days drunk - something that's worth its weight in gold at a place like Put-in-Bay.
This place is laid out quite nicely. Â On one half of the place you have the eatery and the other half is the pub/music half. Â I had heard about that pizza from the moment I arrived on the island and it didn't disappoint. Â If you're with a group, prepare to order several larges though as they are quite small. Â If you're a cheese pizza lover, you'll be in heaven. Â If you are watching your caloric intake, you won't be.
We also had breakfast there one morning. Â I believe they stop serving at 11 AM and if you get there around 10 like we did, prepare to wait forever. Â The line was nearly out the door when we arrived as this is only 1 of 2 places on the island that serves a hot breakfast (as far as I know). Â Like the pizza, it didn't disappoint either.
Frosty's is a bar.reataurant that probably has one of the better breakfasts on the island. Â They open early for the few early birds out their and they have some very cheap brekfast specials. Their biscuits and gravy are some of the better ones that I have had. Â The line is usually very long to get in here but they turn their tables very quickly and you do not have to wait too long so don't let the line scare you.
The bar is not your typical dance club that most of the island bars are on the island. Â It is more of a pub type place that i prefer to go to anyway. Â Like most dirnking establishments on the island this place can get packed.
After a hot day of watching women cavort topless on the flybridge of their old man's boat out in the harbor, head on into Frosty for a chilled mug full of uncomplicated, ice cold beer. Â Also get the pizza. Â Actually, this is sort of a must here in Put-in-Bay on South Bass Island, in the middle of Lake Erie. Â I think they check your breath for Frosty beer esthers and your shirt for pizza sauce stains before they let you back on the ferry to the mainland.
