Food & bartender were good ,but our waitress Deana made the whole experience not good because of her bad attitude and unfriendliness !! Acted like we were a bother .The people next to us got up and left because of her . read more

I've been going to Clementines since I was eating off the kids menu. The food is delicious and consistent and the service is genuine. It's a go to place for when I have visitors from out of town because nothing disappoints. French onion soup, onion rings (and all the ranch), perch sandwich, and the haymaker are stand outs for me! read more

Every time I'm in St. Joe, I go here. The prime rib is excellent. Great service. Excellent ambiance. Always busy, but always great service. read more

Deana did a great job for lunch today at Clementines! Food was all hot and tasty! Outside dining was too busy by enjoyed lunch inside read more

This used to be one of my go-to establishments in this area. Pre-pandemic I would have given it a 5 star rating. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Since the pandemic I have been there 7 or 8 times. The service has fallen off markedly. Lots of times i notice everyone staring at their empty glasses. Keeping soft drinks and water full is the responsibility of the wait staff, not the kitchen. To the kitchen, every time I see a steak that is usually overcooked. Prime Rib should pull apart with a knife, not be cut apart with a circular saw. I understand that things are different now, but, I'm not planning on going back anytime soon. Good reputations take a long time to build, and a short time destroy. read more

When you go, you must try their onion rings. Great selection of food and drinks great view of the boats coming and going. Might have a little wait time. read more

The food here is always good. The onion rings are the best in the world (not exaggerating). Many craft beers on tap with reasonable prices. Friendly staff. In the summer,it is fun to look at the boats in the marina. Nice large parking lot. Convenient location. read more

It was our first time at Clementines Too this evening. My wife, daughter and I saw the reviews on Google and decided to try it. Our server, Jake King, was amazing! We explained it was our first time and his menu suggestions were spot on. My wife's prime rib was as seasoned perfectly and cooked to excellence. My yellow bellied perch was exceptional as well. Everything was simply delicious. I don't think our experience wouldn't have been so amazing if it weren't for Jake's expert advice and service. We will be back during our next trip to St. Joseph! read more

Went to St.Joes for a day trip and decided clementines was the "best" option. However after waiting 40+ minutes for our food to come out cold I wish I had not eaten here. I had ordered the salmon dinner with fries and what came out of that kitchen was a tiny (smaller than a hockey puck) sized salmon. Like how can they charge 15.95$ for that?!?! They should call that meal a snack not a dinner! They threw a hard cold piece of Texas toast on my plate when it came out, probably in an attempt to cover up how small the fish was. I left feeling hungry and robbed. Not to mention another person at my table ordered a chicken sandwich and you couldn't even see the tiny chicken patty without lifting up the bun!! The bun hung over the patty because of how small the chicken was, very pitiful looking food :( read more

Great place. Very busy,went right to the bar. Bartender was friendly and on the spot ,order the Friday special Cod and shrimp dinner with Veg. Not greasy and plentiful Give this place a hit. Then walk around St Joseph. Great night.... read more

Nice location on the river. Nice ambiance. Poor food. I've gone several times because others like it, but I've never found anything to like except the onion rings. read more

The food here was great when me and my family went here we ordered our food and we had a super nice waiter the food was delicious couldn't even make it to dessert Our family really connected over this dinner overall 5/5 read more

Went here with my Mom and sister and her girlfriend after doing some wedding location scouting! Service was great! The young lady was very responsive and helpful! My mom and sister shared the fried zucchini which was great!! And a giant club sandwich! My sisters girlfriend got a big Caesar salad and loved it!! I got the Grilled. Chicken breast with Strawberry's glaze and walnuts! The glaze was a little over powering to me seemed like a strawberry pie filling with some chopped up strawberries thrown in. And my chicken breast was bland little to no seasoning. My sisters Gf's salad had wonderfully charred and seasoned chicken so I was a little disappointed in my mea tasting like a bland piece of chicken covered in sugar sauce. The hard ciders on the menu were not available but a strawberry one on tape was and when we saw the bill it was $12 I believe per pint!!! Compared to the like $6-8 menu price if I recall. Wish we would've been told the only one on hand was almost twice the price of the drink menu one. The water is a small one lane road hop away from the patio seating. Will I go back ? I'm not sure honestly portions were large but the less then Stellar chicken breast I had and the super over priced hard cider might just be the closing argument to not return. read more

Ordered a Dinghy Basket with a side of onion rings for takeout. The "basket of chicken" came with just two tiny strips of chicken fingers, no sweet and sour sauce, and soggy rings. My friends and I have ordered this dish before and we had received 4-5 strips normally. If anything were to be skimped on I'd expect it to be the sides, not the main part of the dish itself. My experiences had been pretty good in the past, but this order really missed the mark. read more

Very good food and service. You can sit outside very close to the boats in the harbor. We either sit outside or at the bar, where we get great service. Try the Friday, Sat prime rib, you won't be disappointed. the Ravenous Roofer read more

On our first night in town for vacation we ordered carry-out from Clementines Too. Everything on the menu sounded so good! We ordered: -Chicken Cesar Salad -Clementine Club -Kids Chicken Tenders -Kraft Mac & Cheese -Side order of curly fries -Apple Dumpling & Ice Cream The Chicken Cesar Salad lettuce was completely rotten and wilted. Unfortunately it was unable to be eaten, so a big waste of $13 and my husband didn't get a meal! The club was decent - not awful, not great. Both meals said they came with coleslaw and neither one did. Presented well. The Mac and cheese was eaten by my kids but $5.99 for that is overpriced. Also it came with a side of apples in a bag that were expired - they were fermented and slimey so had to be tossed. Fries were very soggy. Apple dumpling & ice cream was pretty good. Overall, I'd not eat here again. wasted money on several items, didn't receive some items and had multiple rotten components of meals. read more

So, my first experience at Clementine's was great and I was just DYING to go back. But my second time (mid-June 2013) just really pissed me off. I went during a totally off time of the day, 3 in the afternoon, so they weren't busy at all. I asked to be seated on the deck and I was. There was a waitress working the deck, because she kept coming out and taking orders from everyone around me and bringing food to everyone around me. I tried flagging her down, tried to make eye contact, but she successfully ignored my presence for 40 MINUTES!!!!! On a hot summer day! Not even so much as a glass of water! I literally had to get up and leave in order to go get myself some water somewhere else before I died of dehydration. I've never been so angry. So, my previous review was 4 stars, and I'm dropping it down to just two. I don't understand....my first experience here was SO GOOD, but this last experience is just unconscionable!! read more

Great service, all you can eat fried shrimp wonderful.

This is one of my family's go to places when visiting St. Joe. It has a beautiful location right on the water. We love to watch the boats come and go while eating our meal. I will say, it is ALWAYS busy. Sometimes it can be difficult just to walk in the door it gets so busy. However, some how the wait is never bad. There are lots of seating in the waiting area. The wait staff does a good job seating people quickly. The food here is good. They have a pretty diverse menu. It includes pasta, burritos, burgers, and some really great salads. Most recently, I was not too hungry so I had the Double Eagle salad (without ham and turkey). It was very good. It had a lot of cheese but still it was a very good basic salad. The taco salad is also really great. I would also suggest ordering onion rings as an appetizer. Oh my gosh, they melt in your mouth. They are absolutely so delicious! The dipping sauce is fantastic. We have always had a good experience with our server. Our waitress this time was sweet and went out of her way to answer any questions we had. She checked in on us several times to make sure we were enjoying our meal and to be sure we did not need anything else. As for prices, this restaurant is pretty average. It is a relatively nice sit down restaurant. I would estimate it is about $15 per person. If you are in St. Joe, Michigan, I would definitely recommend checking this place out! read more

Good food. Nice view of the bay/marina with outdoor dinning. Great onion rings. We'd like to go again.

Clementine two. Two is for two stars. Waited an hour for food. Had four kids with us. Staff was kind of friendly, kind of annoyed that we seemed to expect slightly faster service or at least updates on the progress. When it did come, the perch was extremely salty, like I was eating it with sea water. My wife got some pieces with bones and scales in it. I got salmon on my salad, but it was not fresh and blue cheese tasted a little off. Should've searched yelp before agreeing to go to this place. The people we are with aren't so comfy with the internets. read more

I know..."Oh my darlin', Clementine." is the first thing I thought when I found this restaurant when googling restaurants in the South Haven area. Well, South Haven was already full when we were booking our road-trip rooms and I noticed a Clementine's sister location in St. Joseph. So, we came here instead. Why eat at a place called "Clementine's" you ask? It sounds like a bad diner straight out of the 70s. Well, while perusing their online menu, I found a menu item titled "Mess of Lake Perch" and there was a photo of a shitload of breaded perch served with cheezy garlic bread and fries! Oh, and then there's the onion rings served on a spindle, like on a vertical paper town rack that you have on your kitchen counter! And, you don't order onion rings at Clementine's as large or small, but by measurement, i.e., you can get a 6" or 12" order! So, we arrive. The restaurant is pretty basic looking as you can see from the pictures and is butt up against a marina. The Lake Perch was AWESOME! I think the best I've had to date! Juicy, thick filets as far as Lake Perch goes. I've had thin mostly breading Lake Perch all too many times at other established fish frys. Also best ever were the Onion Rings, 6" really was 8-10" of FAT/HUGE perfectly breaded rings. I love onions, am NOT a big onion ring fan (because most places aren't good at them) and well, Clementine's takes the cake in the Ring dept. Move over Moody's! read more

Nice to watch the boats come in. We were passing through Benton Harbor and decided to find a nice sit down restaurant. This is one of those overlooking the marina where some boat up and others drive up. The steak was good and the sides tasty. If we lived in the area, it would likely be a regular stop for us. read more

Well, we liked the service and atmosphere, just the food wasn't that great. I ordered a half slab of ribs, it was a huge portion but over half of it was fat. I've never had ribs like this. The actual meat parts and sauce was ok but nothing special. My wife had some breaded fish but it was spongy and chewy. Maybe Sun evenings are an off night? read more

Service isn't great, it took forever to get our food. Our waiter didn't refill our drinks and we had to ask another one to figure out where they were so we could get our food. read more

Food was fantastic, I got the onion ring burger and it didn't disappoint! Grey service and Great food!!!! read more

This was my first time visiting Clementines Too, I enjoyed the view of the harbor and all the fancy boats. My waitress was brand new, but you would never know it by her professionalism! The food was good, What you would expect from a hometown type Family restaurant. I would recommend this place because as busy as they were, our dining needs were exceeded! read more

I must say the service was spectacular, mel was lovely but the food was absolute garbage. The only good thing was the mussels but they had to put a whole can of spinach on top. I got the claim jumper and it was TERRIBLE, I threw it all up on the way home and spent $15 for it overall won't go again but I wish mel the best of luck she's amazing read more

Friendly staff, clean, and my favorite a clean cap of ketchup! One of my pet peeve is having a dirty/messy kitchen cap. The food is amazing. Must try the onion rings! read more

Drinks were awesome and the food was pretty good. I ordered the Haymaker pasta and the relaxer drink. The customer service was great!

Updating to say that the establishment has made efforts to correct future orders. So it's only fair to change the rating.

This place has the best food, best service, and the staff is AMAZING. We went here after a bad experience of not getting seated at another local place. They were short staffed, but made the best of the current situation. Mandy was an AMAZING waitress, and this is why this group of locals will continue patronizing this establishment year round. read more

Went yesterday after church with the family. Food was a bit slow coming out but it was super crowded due to wonderfully nice weather. However our server Mandy was amazing and updated us and very attentive to us the whole time. We did not even mind as it gave us time to spend together!! She was a wonderful example of an outstanding employee and food was great as always!! read more

Good location on the water. Kids like looking at the boats. Great onion rings! Service is hit or miss.

Service was good, food was okay (perch sandwich and oh my darling) just nothing special. Not as much of a river view... more like a harbor. Overall is was fine... would NOT go out of your way but nothing wrong either. read more

We have heard about this place but always have missed each season. Well we made it this year and I have too tell you! Wow! I love any kind of food and consider myself as not a very picky person. However food this time I got nothing to say but huge disappointment. Didn't finish my walleye fillets: felt like unfrozen, oily crap. My wife got sick later that night after eating your perch. At least both kids were happy. Service very nice, place so so but food what a disaster. I am sorry but will never return and recommend to anyone visiting St Joe. read more

Had loaded potato skins, root beer float, and a delicious salad. Waiter was very nice. Great view outside. No complaints. read more

Had an amazing experience. Laurie was our server and did an outstanding job. Best service Ive received. The food & drinks were delicious

Don't come here. Make sure to check how long ago the good reviews were written because it can't have been recently. We got the fried perch, onion rings, chicken strips, and two salmon dinners. EVERYTHING except for the salmon was cold. The ranch was chunky, the onion rings were also tough, and the prices they charge are ridiculous for this disappointing food. However, the salmon was still pretty good besides being VERY charred. Also, our waitress Kirsten was so sweet and she was constantly running around to make sure everybody's needs were met. Still, I can't believe the wait and how crowded this place is. Also.. considering how crowded it is, shouldn't the food be cooked fresh and not sad and cold? The perch, which was recommended, looked and tasted frozen and about the same temperature as a fish inside a freezer. So.. don't come here if you want to have a hot tasty dinner. Pay Kirsten more!!!!! You certainly charge enough for this food to afford it. read more

Known for their perch, our meal here was delicious!!Try the deep fried zucchini too. The coleslaw is perfect and creamy. The perch is out of this world yummy and the onion rings were fantastic!! Give this place a spot on your go-to list! We will definitely be back again. Walked in at 5:50 on a Friday and had no wait for the two of us. Lots of space for larger groups as well!! Friendly service! read more
