    I have been to Cabana Blue several times since they've opened, and the main highlights are the gorgeous lake views, live band entertainment, and their cocktails. During the night of my most recent visit, I realized that the kinks that I thought were from when they first opened, have clearly not been worked out as they've grown popularity. I really want to like this place, and I'm glad they are busy, but unfortunately their parking lot is not suffice for their volume of summer/boating traffic and the wait times for higher priced, subpar food does not make it worth the almost 40 minute drive for me. Our quoted wait time was 35 minutes, which turned into 1 hr 10 minutes. Once we were seated, I ordered the Cayla Club (my friends ordered wraps as well) and our food took over an hour to come out. Mine was supposed to come with avocado, which it did not have, and at this point our waitress hadn't come back to check on us so we had to flag someone down for our bill. I didn't even bother to ask about the avocado because we were very hungry and eating dinner at 9:30p (arrived at 7p) but for $17 for a basic wrap, I was disappointed and can't say I have plans to return for the food. Overall, this would be a spot for a before dinner drink and sit on the back terrace area on the Adirondack chairs listening to the music but be sure to pack your patience because it gets very busy.

    Sunsets here are the best!!

    Fish tacos grilled

    The location and view are awesome but the waitress was pretty drab and never filled our waters. I was there with a family member and we both got the fish taco dinner and it was actually very tasty and the portion size was good. I asked for a carryout container because I was bringing home about 1 1/2 tacos and the waitress brought over a carry out box the size of a fist so my taco, not even one taco, would fit in there. When I found our waitress, I asked if I could get a larger carryout container and she seemed very bothered by my request. We also got the salmon dip appetizer, and that was absolutely delicious. I got the fish broiled and the other meal had fried fish so we had that option. The fish tacos come with coleslaw on them so they're a bit messy but they were very delicious.

    First time here and it won't be the last!!! We boated there..it was during the week, so it was not busy and very easy to tie up right outside. Great views and decor..definitely the Lake Life attitude!! The food was excellent! The brisket tacos and the hamburger was fresh, hot and very well made. We also got the trio of chips, queso, salsa and guacamole. Drinks were done right!! The service was fantastic! Everything came quickly but no rush.

    This was our second visit, and it didn't disappoint. If you're looking for a spot with a great view, this is it absolutely beautiful! The tiki bar, outdoor patio, and lawn seating create an amazing atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient. Our food was ordered and delivered quickly. You can't go wrong with the chicken wings, Joe's Smash Burger, and fish and chips. Everything was delicious! I do wish the menu had a few more options, but overall, it was a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

    Photo-documented experience is captioned and commented. Does it seem that waterside locales are overpriced and service is much to be desired? Where is the WOW? Ambiance is bright, energetic, loud with sportsbar vibes more than a relaxing tiki-cabana-island vibe. Seems more like Cheers where everyone knows your name except mine. Service and food were OK. No wow -- just standard. Would only come back on a sunnier day during summer to try the porch.

    What a find! 15 min down the road- I had no idea! Met a friend for din din who suggested #CabanaBlue. It's right on Anchor Bay and even though the weather was not gr8, it was still a beautiful view on the water. They have indoor/outdoor seating, a nautical theme and the friendliest, most efficient wait staff ever! The menu is wide and varied. Lots of choices from burgers to salads to seafood...speaking of that, I noted immediately that they have an Ahi appetizer! Seeded and peppered, sides of soy sauce, wasabi and ginger- what's not to love? I ordered that with a side Caesar salad. It was incredible. My friend ordered the fish and chips; the generous order of fries are thin, with skin and crispy. Fish was crisp and breaded. More big yums! There is music on Tuesdays from 4:30-7:30. Susie is absolutely incredible doing her #CheekyTiki thing. Her choice of songs was outstanding; so much talent: singing and keyboarding! It was a huge plus to have her there. (We even got a couple dances in!) Lauren, our server, was a gem! She checked on us regularly and everything was delivered quickly and with a smile. I'll be back. Thank you all so much!

    Labor Day. Few restaurants on Lake St. Clair were open. The parking lot was very full. I set my expectations to "low" as I expected the service to be overwhelmed. I was wrong. Fully staffed. Short wait. Attentive and speedy bar and table service. Whoever is running this operation knows the business. Adam was a terrific server. Good anticipation and teamwork by the staff. The chicken wings were very plump and served with the sauces on the side, as requested. The pulled pork and Cuban sandwiches were both excellent. Hot food, very hot. Cold beverages, very cold. Will I return? Yes!

    Service ok took forever to get a drink. Excellent drinks though and they were very accommodating for a large group! I loved the live band!! Perfect place being right off the water so you can get there by car or boat. I'll definitely be back sometime this summer you should give them a try!

I got the perch dinner 1/2 pound and it was large enough to bring home half as leftovers. I had the choice of soup, salad or coleslaw. I got the salad which was probably a mistake. The salad was lettuce, some of which was brown, with a couple cherry tomatoes and a few slices of onions. I asked if they had balsamic vinaigrette dressing and the waitress brought me vinegar for dressing. Oh well. Then I had the choice of fries, mashed or redskin potatoes. I got the redskin and they were pretty good. My friend got the black and blue burger which comes with potato chips but he upgraded to fries. He really enjoyed his burger. If I was in the mood for perch again I would go and eat there again.

For a small place, there's a good selection of drinks. But, we were hungry, and we definitely came to the right place. I ordered the Fair Haven Po Boy, which was billed as a beef brisket, but seems a lot more like a roast beef sandwich. Fortunately, it was good, and there was a lot of of it. The onion rings were robustly battered, and cooked properly so there was a nice crunch to every bite. There were only two servers at that time, but they were able to keep up with everybody, and the food came out quickly. Definitely worth a return visit if I'm in the area.

The hostess was rude, and when we were seated, there were straws, wrappers, and spilled liquid underneath our table. No one offered to clean it, and after being sat, no one came to our table for over 20 minutes. When our waiter finally arrived- without greeting or introducing himself he just asked "has anyone been with you yet?" *mind you he had been in the section tending to TWO other tables the whole time we were there*. We ordered drinks (an old fashioned and a mocktail), along with cheese curds for an appetizer and a steak and burger for dinner. Our drinks didn't come out for another 15 minutes. When the waiter brought them, I asked if he could put all of our food in at once if he didn't already. He stated he already had because the kitchen was backed up. After that, we never saw him again. Meanwhile, the couple seated right before us received their drinks, meals, and even dessert. Another table was served three appetizers during the time we sat there waiting. Our table was available after being on a waitlist of 35 minutes at 7:11pm and by 8:30pm we still had not received ANY of our food or seen our waiter again. We left money on the table to cover our drinks and left. To make matters worse, the table next to us remained dirty the entire time we were there, and an 8-top nearby sat covered in dishes the whole evening. Where was the manager? The owner? There was no one walking around apologizing for long wait times, no communication, and absolutely no effort to offer compensation or make things right. I have worked in hospitality in years and the way this night was handled was absolutely careless. I have given this establishment MANY changes, and this was the last straw. An absolute 0/10 experience. This was supposed to be a special Valentine's night out for us, and instead it was frustrating and disappointing. I will not be returning to Freighters, and I will be sharing this experience with others so they don't waste their special occasions the way we did.

There's a degree of bowling alley seediness, a touch of carnival, and an air of anxious fun. See the fat people in bad t-shirts, smell the bleach-beer, hear the clunk of distant bowling pins. Taste the beef. This is real America. I love it. Bonus: Architectural remnants of the former Mt. Clemens Drive-In decorate the place. I frequented such for over three decades. Last film I saw there was "Casper The Friendly Ghost" (1995).
