Basically every screen in the place was must-watch TV and the bartender -- understandably distracted, perhaps -- decided that was the ideal moment to restock straws and cut fruit. We waited. In the heat. Our server was genuinely good when he materialized, which wasn't as often as we'd have liked. Food: the cheese curds earned their reputation. The Mekts burger was fine -- solid, no complaints. The Reuben rolls, however, arrived looking exactly like what they were: a Sysco product plated with minimal ceremony. Hard pass next time. As for the name -- if you're picturing a dock, pilings, maybe a gull or two -- walk outside and squint hard past the road and the rooftops. Big lake's out there somewhere. Technically. Maybe a 3.2 night in a 4.3 restaurant. I'd go back on a slow Tuesday in October.

Every bite felt like I was chewing on drywall and fighting for my life trying to swallow it. The steak had almost no flavor, and the only thing seasoned in the whole meal was the salt on the chips.

What impressed me most was how incredibly hot and fresh the burger was -- it tasted like it had come straight off the grill. The fries were thin-cut, crisp, and not overdone, exactly as advertised. The staff was warm and accommodating, and even on a quiet Monday afternoon, the experience did not disappoint. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Pepi's for anyone looking for a relaxed meal and a good place to catch up with friends.

The restaurant is quite spacious and located on the second level of the building. There are options to sit inside, outside but covered, or outside. The marina and Lake Michigan add the experience with great views from the deck area. Our server was very nice. She was super attentive, and we really appreciated her checking back in for refills, napkins, etc. The food was actually the highlight of my experience. I got the garlic shrimp skewers which came with a Hawaiian roll, Cole slaw and a side (I chose a baked potato). My partner got the prime rib dip with hush puppies. Didn't have a chance to take a pic of the cheese curds before they were devoured! Only downside is the place is VERY noisy. Everytime someone who move a chair, the scraping sound was otherworldly. They are metal chairs on a concrete/gravel flooring. Not ideal. And waitstaff was constantly dropping things and running into each other or the chairs/tables. That was a bit chaotic. However, the food was great and so were the views. They also have live music (they had wrapped up before we got there today). I'd definitely come back (maybe sit inside near an area where you can look out on the lake).

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bernies and was thoroughly impressed with the unique and delicious offerings on their menu. Upon arriving, the staff were all friendly and welcoming, and the smell of fresh, hand-tossed pizza wafted through the air. I decided to start with an order of their garlic bread, which were some of the best I've ever had. The dough was soft and pillowy, and the garlic butter and herbs on top added the perfect amount of flavor. For my main course, I opted for the thin crust pizza which was a truly innovative and delicious classic. The crust was topped with a perfect layer of cheese that stayed perfectly on the pizza with every bite. I couldn't get enough of. Overall, I had an amazing dining experience at Bernies. The food was unique, delicious, and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a tasty pizza experience. read more

I'm throwing this a 5 star review based off two things. The biggest factor is the staff and level of customer service... each contact that I have had either on the phone or in person has been friendly, helpful and welcoming. Being just down the road from a few other restaurants... it'll be no time before the popularity of this place explodes. A very close second is the food which has never disappointed. Tried this place for the first time based off the recommendation of my Dad who loves their Lasagna and I was blown away. Tried the pizza and it was delicious as well. We plan on working our way through the entire menu. Keep up the great work and much love to you all.... you've certainly won over a life long patron with your impeccable service to your customers. read more
