Went on a Wednesday around 6:00 for some dinner. There were only a couple people at the bar. We…read morewere waited on right away and brought our drinks. Food was made right away and brought out and hot and fresh. Condiments were brought to the table. The homemade ranch is great. Prices are really good for the amount of food you get. Burgers are amazing. Fried mushrooms and onion rings were so good. Fries were nothing special. The place hasn't been updated in decades but thats okay, thats what makes it special. Took me back to when we used to go there when I was younger. Will definitely be going back sooner.

Such a damn good burger EVERYTIME! Sorry no pics to share…read morethis time, lol. We stopped in (again) on Saturday Jan 20th and brought my bff. She ordered the jalepeno burger with fries. She ate the whole burger. She loved it. I ordered (my usual) bacon cheeseburger. It has velveeta (squeeze cheese) and bacon bits. (Their burgers have that cheese unless another is requested). I of course added lots of pickles and onions from the table side condiment container). I added some mozzarella sticks to share also. Our other friend ordered the deep fried mushrooms to share. They were sliced portablella mushrooms....delicious with cocktail sauce. The owner is a very personable and friendly man that always checks to see how your food is. We always tell our friends about Heck's bar and will continue to go back everytime we're nearby.

And the staff is so nice. We also got the soup and salad bar. All the soups are homemade, as well as the cold salads on the salad bar. We also got the Philly hoagie and it's so fresh! I highly recommend Shelley's if you're in the area!

This place is so stinkin' cute and has such a great vibe, which was very surprising given that…read moreeverything in the main part of Port Austin was just very small-town, quaint vibes. Bird Creek really stood out on its own as having a unique classy, farmhouse style to it that just really set the mood for a good time & I was pretty obsessed with the luscious vines of hops gently swaying with the breeze! The waitstaff here is completely amazing, especially during COVID. The patio seating everywhere was so wonderful, and there was also tons of bar space as well. It's open, it's airy, and you can walk the grounds and check out their greenhouses while you wait, if you need to wait. A true farm to table! The food was absolutely spectacular as well! We got the charcuterie board, which we thoroughly enjoyed, before the bees descended and also thoroughly enjoyed haha. But the waitstaff said that normally the bees were not this "friendly," and that they were only really all up in our businesses because it had rained the day before. But our waiter quickly cleared the board away from us and redirected the bees away from the patio, which is just another testament to how wonderful the waitstaff is! Definitely try the miso portobello burger too! I'm not even vegetarian/vegan and it was honestly SO DELICIOUS! I'm still thinking about it days later! If I ever find myself in the thumb of Michigan again, I will DEFINITELY be stopping by here again!

Unfortunately the restaurant was out of many items and ingredients and the bartender said they have been out of some since the 4th of July. My boyfriend had a burger while I ordered pulled pork sliders. They were out of slider buns so they gave me a hamburger bun instead. Delicious food regardless. The fries were probably the best I ever had. My boyfriend's burger was nothing to write home about. And the chips that came with his meal was past stale. We told a gentleman how delicious his pizza looked and he gave us a slice. Definitely getting the Detroit pizza the next time we are in the area!
