Stopped here for lunch on the water on our travels West, never been to the city before. It was a little like going back in time, inside decor-wise. I'm not complaining about that, I love it :) We got a table outside, overlooking the river. Service was good; prompt and mostly accurate. Fried zucchini was delicious, but $10 is overpriced to me. I got the red barn spinach salad with chicken- what I got was delicious. I expected more spinach. Homemade onion dressing and ranch (I tried both) were tasty. Very clean bathrooms! I appreciate that in an establishment! read more

Awesome lunch at the Pier. Great fish and chips! Super tasty and seasoned really well. Very attentive staff. Our Girl even divided our dishes that we decided to split. Good food, nice atmosphere. Eat outside if you can!! read more

Clementine's Too has given me so many good things to say. My dish of choice is the "Lil' Tuscan Pasta." It is absolutely delicious, and just the right portion size. Their service is quick, and the wait staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The bartender made us some custom drinks, and they were great! We were actually greeted by the manager last Saturday, and he was genuinely excited to have us dining there. The restaurant itself is very nicely decorated with a lake theme, and the entire restaurant has a view of the boats on the water. This is a good place for casual to more upscale dining -- jeans are fine, but I hear this is also a popular pre-prom dinner location. The only downside is that because this is such a great restaurant, you may encounter a fairly lengthy wait time. In my opinion, it is well worth it! read more

First the good: My husband had the Red Rooster (Strawberry glazed chicken breast with feta cheese) and it was very good. Fortunately, he was willing to share it with me, because I ordered the swordfish special, and it was questionable at best. Half was cooked, the other half was so raw I couldn't cut it. Better luck next time, except that there won't be a next time. Should we visit St. Joseph again, we'll probably stick with Schu's. http://www.schus.com read more

Excellent food, especially the onion rings. Excellent manager (Tom) and sweet, sweet server, Josie.

Decent place, average food for ok prices. Service was good and location on the river is nice. Visits: 7 Recommendation: the Calamity Jane sandwich read more

I've never had a disappointing meal, but last night was a first. We arrived at 7:30 - just as things were slowing down. We waited 10 mins for a table. After the waiter took our order he approached in 10 mins and said "your food will be right out." Another 15 mins later he said my girlfriend's salmon was "holding things up". After another 15 mins I told my girl and sister we were leaving in ten minutes if the food wasn't out by then. Then the waiter appeared with our food. My girlfriend's tiny piece of salmon, however, was black and solidly burnt on its underside. I called the waiter and he made all sorts of excuses for the cook, including a non-existent party of 16 that overwhelmed the cook. There were very few people that entered after we arrived. We did not see a party of 16. The waiter said he discussed the issue with the manager. However, after we finished and were on our way out my girl spoke with the manager, who said it was the first he'd heard of the problem. Sounds like they have a problem with one of their waiters telling the truth - let alone an incompetent cook (by the way the piece of salmon was little more than the size of a deck of cards - it should not have taken more than 9 minutes on the grill). I'm not going to give up on this place. But, I'm not going to have this dude as our waiter. Hopefully he'll be gone - it seems he lied several times to us. read more

I always enjoy the food here, and love the spot on the river. Fast service even during lunch. Best onion rings around. A go to spot for me!

Dinghy Basket, gunslinger, wings, onion rings. You can't go wrong and especially wonderful staff!

Yes, I gave this place four stars, the only reason being is that It's hard to break the "herd" mentality with this place. They want you to take your time and not rush your dining experience. I can appreciate this as it allows food to settle and more drinks to be had (HA!). Anyway, the servers have been great and the food made to specification. I say specification, because if you order the wet burrito and don't ask for steak meat, then you'll get ground dog food. From appetizers to the waitresses; that know the bartender (for better tasting drinks that are worth your money); to the main dishes, you cannot go wrong. Even the fried zucchini is better what I received in the south. The dill dipping sauce is oh so good...... Bon appetit! read more

If you're in town and looking to check out a wonderful eatery with good food, attentive waitresses, and a relaxing atmosphere, steer clear of this tourist trap. My husband ordered a steak with fries and a salad appetizer, but the waitress must've forgot about half the order because only the steak arrived. His steak was overcooked and his drink order was constantly forgotten. The waitress was hardly around to be corrected because the restaurant was packed with obnoxious guests. The salad eventually appeared, only after my husband was done with his steak. The cheese garlic bread that came with my pasta was soggy and unappetizing. There is so much potential wasted on this riverside restaurant, that you might as well go to The Saint Joseph on the River Tavern down the road. read more

Great fare! The Salmon was incredible and the service, prompt and kind. Good views that make you long for the boat you sold after five years on the market Will definitely return. Thank you read more

The restaurant is directly opposite a marina so there are unobstructed views of the boats and a river channel. We ate on the terrace, which was great. But the dining room has huge windows which give great view of the marina and provide excellent light. The menu leans heavily toward fried food. We ordered chicken fingers, fried perch and a salad. The perch was great - tasty, lightly breaded and perfectly cooked. The other dishes were good, but unremarkable. The server who looked after us was friendly, efficient and energetic. Pricewise: lunch for two with soft drinks and a 20% tip came to $37, which seemed entirely fair. We won't hesitate to visit again when we're next in St Joseph. read more

Four of us stopped in there on Friday November 1 in the afternoon just to have a drink. The bartender was Jenny. She was Extremely rude to all of us. Even though we were the only ones in the bar she acted like we were putting her out to wait on us. Rolling her eyes etc. I don't think I've ever had a worse experience. Management should let her go. read more

My birthday boy remember this restaurant from last time and chose it for his birthday dinner. He remembered the atmosphere and the French onion soup. We waited a few minutes for a table on the patio. I had the salmon dinner and it was delicious, read more

We visited for the first time and they were very accommodating. They made room for us outside and Emily, our server, was very good. She knew the menu and steered us in the right direction. The 12 inch onion rings were all they lived up to be. Many in our group had the perch sandwich and it didn't disappoint. Great selection of beer and wine. The My Clementine looked delicious. Good view of the harbor, too! read more

Clementine's in St. Joseph is on a downward spiral. I have eaten here over 30 times and it is becoming more apparent with every visit. My most recent visit will be my last. On my last visit the food was mediocre, the service was horrific, and, the worst part, the management did not care! After being seated my party waited 20 minutes for a waitress to stop by. When our waitress finally stopped by we were ready to order our drinks, appetizer, and entrees. We had no idea what what her name was, or what the specials were, because we we're told "sorry I'm behind what to you want." We were dumbfounded. What just happened? She took our order and disappeared. Twenty minutes later our drinks arrived. 40 minutes is long time to wait for a water! After another 20 our appetizer came out. An hour for an appetizer! The tables around us that sat down 5 minutes after us were already mid-way through their entrees; they had a different waitress. Our waitress forgot to bring us plates for the appetizer; so she brought them with the entrees! The food had obviously been sitting under a lamp for quite a while. It also was an unwelcome surprise that the waitress picked our side options for us. The steak was charred to the resemblance of charcoal. We couldn't get a knife through a burger. Really? We paid for this? The infuriating part was that the manager knew about the situation and did not care. She did not apologize. She was directing the other wait staff to take over our waitresses tables; she knew a disasterous service was ensuing. All the tables around us were in the same situation. A quality, customer-oriented, manager would have puller the server and comped the meals. This manager did not care. The manager had a line waiting outside to be seated but was letting seated customers wait 40 minutes for drinks! When a business doesn't care about their customers, they leave. We will not be back. read more

Just a tad off the beaten path but do not miss "Clem's" as the locals call it! Great looking nautical decor in a bright and cheery bar right on the river. Great view of boats and tvs behind the bar with various games playing. Staff was super friendly and we enjoyed the casual conversation with them. ONION RINGS....order them...PERIOD. We got 12" of them. I'd run an extra hour on the treadmill so I could eat these. I had the shrimp and crab meat with melted cheese on bread..mmmmm! Fiancee also had fish which he loved. The prices are very reasonable and the food and service was more than worth it. Clem's is smoke free which is a huge huge plus! Don't miss this St. Joseph staple...and get the rings already! read more

We went on Thursday, so it was not crowded and we were seated immediately. We had a stack of onion rings. The best I have ever had in my whole life.. I ordered the Mess of Perch. Extremely delicious., just a light coating of something, and cooked to perfection. It was served with a yummy cheese bread and steamed broccoli [ perfectly cooked ] with a few other veggies included. The kids had chicken tenders, which they gobbled up. We also had the steak dinner, very good, too. I will definetly go back. read more

Recommended by a local as a great place to eat... And we were not at all disappointed!!! The onion rings were perfect-- lightly battered and cooked to perfection-- make sure to order the larger size; 12" of deliciousness The entire group of us ordered the Perch sandwich-- Reel Perch sandwich! Just scrumptious!!! The fruit cup was filled to overflowing with fresh fruit- strawberries, blueberries and melon!! The French Onion soup was perfect- I am quite picky about my Onion soup and this was among the best!!! Clementines is a definite stop when we return to the area!! read more

Food can be a bit pricey, but being that St. Joe is a tourist/beach town, it is 'fare' game when trying to get a good meal. Generous portions, nice decor and when the weather is nice, a great place to have a few drinks. Nice service and If you go for lunch, ask for Laurel - she is a sweetheart. read more

This restaurant was ok. We loved the onion rings and the fried pepper jack cheese appetizer. I was really excited about the mess of perch. It was ok. I've had better perch. The coleslaw, potato pancakes, bread...all Sysco which is kind of disappointing. The service was excellent. But food was just boring. read more

Visited twice. We like seafood, so we ordered Mess of Lake Perch and The Drunken Sailor (and famous onion rings). Lake Perch was tasty and shrimps were very impressive. Seats outside were comfortable as it is located by the river. Good atmosphere and kids friendly. read more

We will not be back. The server was rude and when she came to our table breathed on us with her cigarette breathe. Yeah that's what I was to enjoy over my 14 dollar meal. It was gross and then we were having a great conversation with the other couple in our booth. She came up to the table and asked if the payment was ready. We hadn't received the check yet though. She was like O' here and proceeded to wait and my husband told her it would be a moment. She rolled her eyes and walked off. My husband asked for a manager and no one ever came to our table. We left cash and left. Terrible service and terrible interactions. read more

We absolutely love Clementine's in South Haven and we were traveling to the Chicago area for Easter, so we thought why not stop! We actually just ordered take-out since we had our pup with us, but it was still great. The onion rings were fantastic as always. My husband had the perch and I had the fried shrimp - you really can't go wrong with anything you order here! read more

Without question the best prime rib and french onion soup in the county. Lovely, warm, open atmosphere. Great bartenders - these guys always make us feel "catered to" and leave us smiling. Riverfront dining with boat access makes this place unique. read more

The best thing about this place besides the view from the window booths is the onion ring tower. This is the first place the doesn't cheap out on giving you a butt load of onion rings. The entrees are super generous as well. Although this place is almost always busy the food comes out pretty quickly and the waiters are pretty attentive. read more

Visited here with the wife on the last day of summer, 2017. The restaurant is located right on the St. Joseph river (across from Pier 33), so you see all the boat traffic in the harbor area. I had a Saloon Sammy, while the missus had a Tumbleweed Steak salad. Both arrived cooked to perfection. Our waitress made sure drinks were topped off in a timely manner. Because it was lunch on a work day, I was not surprised by the amount of grey hair we say. That being said, the younger crowd is missing out on a gem of a eating establishment. Recommend. read more

I've been to Clementine's in South Haven in the past, but just recently tried Clementine's Too in St. Joe for the first time. My boyfriend, his parents and I stopped in for a late lunch this past Sunday. Since it's not quite boating season yet, we didn't have any trouble getting a table. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. We had onion rings and mushrooms for an appetizer and both were great. They're not the standard apps that you find at every chain restaurant. They actually looked like they had been battered and fried fresh . . . not frozen. Very tasty! And we were pleasantly surprised to see how many of each we got. They don't skimp on quantity or quality. We all enjoyed our meals as well. I had the burger with green olives and a side of curly fries. My boyfriend had the perch. His dad had another burger and his mom had a wrap. Everything was cooked to our expectations and was quite satisfying. I definitely ate way too much, but it was all so good. We'll definitely go back again during boating season so we can sit by the water and enjoy the weather and tasty food. The waitress also told us that they recently upgraded the interior of the restaurant - fresh paint, new decor, etc. read more

Kids meals all tasted like fish. My kids wouldn't even eat the chicken strips or mini corn dogs. Gunslinger was a decent steak for the price. Service was great. read more

The best perch i've had in the area. Eating out on the terrace watching the channel traffic is a real relaxing time.

Found this place while trying the 3 wineries in downtown St. Joe. It was nice because it was on the water, but the food was not great. The price was good for what we ordered but I wasn't impressed by anything I tasted. read more

We were there last Thursday for dinner with a party for 10. It was pretty busy, so we expected a wait, but they were able to seat us with very little wait. The service was above average and the food was good. Everyone was satisfied with our food, even our 6 fussy tween/teens. We had many special requests from our party, and they were all handled well. read more

The service was good, but the food was not. I ate here with a coworker for my birthday in November 2014. I had their steak special the night I was there and everything on my place was nearly inedible. The steak had so much fat on it, it was hard to find a bite of meat, and the sauce on the vegetables was crazy salty. I tried to save my steak by putting it in a slow cooker when I got home to melt off the fat and stew the meat - still gross. read more

Great size and the staff very friendly. I ordered the signature "Oh my Darling" sandwich. It's crab and shrimp on a half French roll with tomatoes. While it was very edible it lacked is simple flavor. Perhaps if the scampi'ed the shrimp with some garlic butter. And why not serve a small order of your famous onion rings as a side. People might end up ordering them more often once they have tried them. Beer selection was nice but could be colder for sure. All in all it was ok. read more

This is our second time at Clementines and both times we had very similar experiences. Though they were busy we were able to get a table right away (5pm on a Sunday). From there things went downhill. The restaurant was crowded and the servers obviously had way too many tables. Though our server was friendly, it's impossible to give great service when you're understaffed and have too many guests to tend to. We waited a half an hour for our onion rings appetizer, and though it was really tasty, we were disappointed to have to wait so long. Our food came about 20 minutes after our appetizer. The perch was yummy and fresh, but the side items were not scratch made and not great. My three children ordered off the kids menu, and they received large portions of food they enjoyed. We again waited for our server to get us our to go boxes and bill. I am surprised at how busy the restaurant always is with just ok food and understaffed service. Overall I give 2.5 stars. read more

Must order: Onion rings, chocolate cobbler, cheap drinks. Food is generally good and service is sweet here. It's a little off the beaten path and a great place to sit and chat. read more

So got a tip about the burgers and although recently seems harder to find a good burger, this placed hit a home run. I forget what they called it but came with green olives and mayo, the burger was superb and will always stop if I'm in the area. The tower of onion rings were also fantastic and our waitress handled the 11 of us like a champ. I should have gotten a different burger to go but my audience was a lil big...next time! read more

Unfortunately, this one is a disappointment. Service was beyond bad, food was mediocre at best. Even the pop was bad. Have to give props to the onion rings. read more

I enjoyed an early dinner there for the second time in one week. I live in South Bend, yet often visit the St. Joe area to go to the beach, an art festival, or an antique show. Clementine's is the place to go for good meal. The onion rings are "a must" order and the menu has something for everyone in our group from youngster to adult. The service is good, too. read more
