Jackson Harbor Soup Is More Fantastic Than The Ferry Ride

There’s nothing like a steaming bowl of homemade soup after some time on the blue waters of Lake Michigan. Is there anything more comforting? We don’t think so, which is why Jackson Harbor Soup & Sandwiches is more than worth the ferry ride. This little treasure of a restaurant is tucked away on the rocky shore of Washington Island, a spectacularly beautiful island off the end of the Door County Peninsula. Jackson Harbor Soup is the perfect place to recharge when you’re exploring the beauty of this special place.

Here’s what’s waiting for you beyond the ferry dock.

Jackson Harbor Soup & Sandwiches is located on Washington Island, a scenic outpost that’s about 7 miles off the tip of Door County. Passenger ferries take visitors and residents to the island daily. About 700 people call the island home, but day-trippers and vacationers cause the population to swell, especially in the summer months.

While you can ride the ferry as a passenger, it’s worth taking a car or bike along so you can make it to Jackson Harbor Soup & Sandwiches. The restaurant is located about eight miles from the Washington Island Ferry Terminal.

The restaurant is close to another ferry - one that takes tourists to Rock Island State Park, a nearby undeveloped island that’s popular with hikers.

If you decide to go hiking, you should be sure to fuel up at the restaurant. It offers a full selection of delicious soup, including daily offerings as well as classics like beer and cheddar soup, baked French onion soup, and the restaurant’s special, Grammy’s Potato Soup.

There are loaded sandwiches and wraps on the menu too and well as paninis, fresh salads, and kid-friendly options like grilled cheese. You may want to save room for dessert – if they have pie when you are there, you’ll want to order a slice!

On warm days you can dine outside and take in the fresh Washington Island air and enjoy a splendid view of Jackson Harbor, one spoonful at a time!

The restaurant’s hours change seasonally. For the latest hours and offerings, check its website. If you’re not much for boats, here’s a vacation dining experience like no other that you can enjoy on the rails.
