Good Harbor Grill is a fun and relaxed place to get a good meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner. I have never had a bad meal there. Simple, casual and good. read more

Pricey. Rude. Deserve to shut down These were the 3 words that came to my mind in my whole 20 min experience with this place. 1- we confirmed before going in and were told that we could still order. My son is 2 and I didn't order for him- The waitress told me I could not order seconds for free salad since I am not ordering for my son. 2- she literally dumped the salad and salad dressing on my table and didn't bother to answer any questions 3- The owner was rude enough to tell me that he doesn't want to be bothered this late and if we want, we can get the 'Hell out' - Really? in a service business? I thought he was rasicist. Needless to say, we didn't stay for dinner. read more

This is a great place to eat breakfast at very quick not a long wait about 30 minutes! Waffles are to die for :) my family also enjoyed there food and service was friendly great place to eat read more

The GHG is an upcoming institution for Glen Arbor. The owners, Ann and Brendan are amazing folks who often sit and chat with patrons who are enjoying their food. The soup/sandwich combo for lunch on the patio is great. read more

We were at the Tea and Spice shop down the way, and asked where they recommended to eat in Glen Harbour. They recommended the Harbour Grill. It is a cute little restaurant with fantastic food. My brother doesn't like mayo, and forgot to ask for no mayo on his sandwich. They didn't bat an eyelash when we asked them if we could get his sandwich remade without mayo. Water and iced tea were not refilled as often as we would have liked, but they were also very busy (we were there at the height of lunch hour). read more

Very cute but food was bland . Ordered the grown up grilled cheese and the grass fed burger. Not well seasoned. The burger bun was not toasted and the bread on the grilled cheese was burnt. I wanted to like this place but it just was not good. Also disappointed by the side of tortilla chips with no option to upgrade to fries or salad. But with that said, the chips were the best part of the meal. read more

Nice-looking place, but the pancakes were burnt. I tried to tell the server, but she didn't seem interested. Our server didn't even ask how things were- dropped the food and check and that's it. She couldn't have easily resolved the issue with a little care. Disappointing! read more

We stopped into this place while out and about sleeping bear. I was really underwhelmed by the grass fed burger, as it seemed they had the grill too hot so it was overcooked outside undercooked inside ( even for medium). Wife ordered a chicken sandwich and added some pesto sauce to make it more flavorful. Service was good but food was nothing to brag about. read more

We have summered in Glen Arbor for twenty years and have eaten hundreds of meals at this restaurant. It is one of the very few restaurants anywhere where you can eat breakfast lunch and dinner. In all that time, we have had only a couple of disappointing meals. This is not a tablecloth restaurant but it is by far better than the resort food available at other Glen Arbor eateries. Soups are home made and there are always vegetarian meals available. Variety is excellent. There are no fried foods available but we regard this as a plus. We find the service to be what you expect at a summer resort...it is as friendly as you are. When the help are treated well, they respond beautifully. They received a liquor license a few years ago so now there are drinks, beer and wine as well. Ignore the snide comments on this site from people who had a one-off bad experience and try it. read more

Had an average lunch experience yesterday, I had to ask for a cup of coffee twice, first from the waitress who seated us and poured us water her answer was your waitress will get your order. As we waited for our waitress I noticed another waitress standing about 8' away from our table and staring outside and I thought for sure I could get a cup of coffee out of her, unfortunately got the same answer. Eventually our waitress showed up and everything moved along fine. The only thing I felt uncomfortable with this place was that I noticed the cook using his bare hands to place onions, tomatoes, lettuce etc onto the sandwiches. I'd thought he'd have the rubber gloves on our use tongs. read more

Very good Breakfast. Only have been here for breakfast when we come up north. Let me just start by saying if you get pancakes or waffles they use a different type of batter that is FULL of protein! Its really good but some people don't like it so it's a hit or miss. My family's food was good too according to them and the service was fast and good! Highly recommend this place! read more

Brought the family here for breakfast during a recent visit to Glen Arbor. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious. The eggs Benedict had fresh basil on top. It was such a pleasant surprise and absolutely delicious. Kids loved the waffles and French toast sticks. My husband is not a breakfast guy but he loved the fresh blueberry pancakes. read more

I would give less than 1 star if I could. Food was very expensive considering it had next to no flavor. Staff wasn't that great and don't sit next to a window unless you like spiders. Because they're everywhere. read more

This is a nice little place. The staff is very friendly and got us our food pretty quickly. The food itself was good, and was at a pretty fair price. The building was cozy. The overall experience was great, but not perfect. read more

We really wanted to love this restaurant but the food was bad. Their dinner menu was overly ambitious & the food was mediocre. They lack focus on what kind of restaurant they want to be. The building appears down-to-earth, implying fresh produce & innovative combinations, & it has a nice homey feel, but the menu is all over the place from curries to pastas to tofu to steak- which would be fine if the food was good. Which it wasn't. Of the 3 courses we ordered, none were very good. The tofu was supposed to be crispy & wasn't. The pesto was watery. The veggie chilli was the only item worth eating. Then I saw the cook use a utensil on raw chicken & then immediately place cooked chicken on a plate with the same utensil after sticking it in the grill for a nano-second. Hope no one got sick. The workers there were rushed & stressed & the kitchen is too small for all those menu dishes, they ran out of a lot of items. They need a restaurant makeover: to figure out what kind of restaurant they want to be, focus on that & pair down their menu to a few wonderful & fresh items. That's my two-cents worth. read more

I hate to write bad reviews but feel it's warranted. My husband and I brought our toddler here for dinner. We have been coming to Glen arbor for years. Always felt like it is a good option when maybe you are tired of fried food and burgers and want something healthier. We ordered our dinner and received our salads before. I will say the salad is great. As soon as we got our salads we received our entree. How annoying. How can I enjoy the salad when I have my entree sitting there getting cold. I ordered my kid the chicken nuggets. For two bucks extra u get a veggie. Most expensive five green beans ever received. The nuggets were horrible. Not even sure they were real meat. I ordered the Mediterranean seafood. Comes with shrimp and scallops on a bed of spinach. Ok flavor. Scallops were over done and were like hockey pucks. Husband got the cherry crusted whitefish. Fish had no flavor. Terrible. The best part of meal was the potato and the salad. Our waitress was disinterested. When I asked if they had club soda she said no one likes that stuff. Maybe she doesn't have a lot of experience but she's not drinking it. I am. I really wanted this meal to work but it was way below standard esp for the price. This was the second time we had bad experience. The first one was when they microwaved my red wine because they had it in the fridge and didn't store it properly. We won't be back. read more

Dinner after driving and hiking in Sleeping Bear Dunes park. The food was delicious, with many vegetarian and non-veg choices. The family-style salad with individual dressing servings is a cool idea, and along with the bread, made a great start to the meal. Service was good. Our only complaint: too much food! read more

This restaurant is a local favorite for bistro fare and fish dishes utilizing local foods, but we had a great breakfast here recently. My partner's Belgian waffle was light as a cloud, yummy all by itself, but it came with a dainty pitcher of locally sourced maple syrup, which took it to a whole new level. My Vermont scramble, featuring eggs, bacon, tart apples and sharp cheddar, was also tasty. Our locally sourced coffee was also delicious. Vegans and traditional meat-and-potatoes types also have numerous choices. The atmosphere is quiet and pleasant, with a nautical theme; nice shady outdoor seating is available too. The owners also have an ice cream stand next door, as well as an art gallery specializing in prints salvaged from antique books (you can see some of these prints in the restaurant); it's real one- stop-shopping pleasure for visitors to this quaint resort village near the Sleeping Bear Dunes. One caveat for travelers: these are seasonal businesses, so call ahead to avoid disappointment. read more

Really enjoyed our meal ( late lunch) here. The curry vegetable soup, super bread and the simply yummy local made pie were standouts! Service was acceptable but they were busy making the transition from lunch to dinner setups. I have and would recommend it to others. read more

When my husband and I vacationed "up north" three years ago, we ate virtually every meal at the Good Harbor. I don't know what's happened since then, but it has not been good. We ate two meals (dinner and breakfast) here on this current trip, and we won't be visiting again. The dinner (a pasta dish) consisted of over-cooked noodles topped with canned beans, artichoke hearts and diced tomatoes --not mixed, not seasoned. The result was a gooey, bland mess. Breakfast was even more disappointing. The blueberry pancakes were huge, it's true, but they not only had been sitting under a heat lamp for 15 minutes by the time they reached our table (Good Harbor has an open kitchen so it is easy to time these things), the edges also tasted like grill sludge. (I am a former line-cook myself, so I know all too well the taste of grill sludge). Finally, both my husband and I are vegetarian and the pancakes and the tofu scramble he ordered (which was not a scramble at all, but chunks of tofu sauteed in butter) tasted faintly of the bacon and sausage that were being cooked on the same grill. It's a shame, really, as there are precious few restaurants in Glen Arbor, and the Good Harbor always has a sort of friendly, casual ambiance that otherwise makes it a pleasant place to visit. read more

We had high hopes based on reviews, but were disappointed. The service was friendly and fine, the food was OK but unimaginative and underseasoned. The chicken was a bit tough, the vegetarian offerings (which we were really excited about) were ultimately a letdown. Prices, while maybe commensurate with other GA restaurants, are way out of line for the quality of the meals. I'd seek other options. read more

I wanted to like this restaurant. And the burger itself was good. But, the table water was undrinkable (it even smells from the tap in the bathroom), which is tiny and not very clean, and there is food all over the floor, the result of cleaning tables by just wiping everything off onto the floor. The overhead A/C dripped on one member of my party. So.... If I could, I would give 2 1/2 stars, for a nod to acceptable (not close to great) food. read more

We have gone to this place many times over many years and are almost always happy with the lunch we have. Salmon sandwich is huge, my wife gets the side salad with shrimp. Very fresh food, salads are really good. read more

Probably the best restaurant in Glen Arbor. Freshly baked breads, very good portion sizes. The ham and cheese with mushrooms and grilled onions was very tasty. Turkey and avocado and bacon sandwich also huge and made with entirely fresh ingredients. Service was quick and friendly. Try it! read more

The black bean chili and my partner's burger were great. The fact that you can get Vernor's on tap is awesome! Vegans can be fed nicely ( seriously, the black bean chili) means we will be back when we are in this neck of the woods. read more

They really need to consider buying soups from a food vendor.Their homemade soups are really bad!! Sandwiches are ok.The soup maker should have the waitresses test what they create before serving it to customers. read more

I've only been for lunch but this place has REAL food as in fresh and tasty and if you want that you should go there.

I was disappointed. I ordered a fried fish over green salad instead of a bread.I got a salad with something what looked like scrapes from a pan and did not remind a fish at all. I was charged $13.50 for 2 dishes: a salad and a fish. I'm not sure it was more than 1.5 oz of fish .Very pricey meal. read more

The menu sounded so good and creative, with a number of nice vegetarian selections, but when our dishes arrived we were always disappointed. We really wanted to love it, but no matter how wonderful the meal sounded on the menu, it was always too bland or deficient in some way. We even ate there 2 or 3 times, (this was in July 2010) hoping it would be better. We love the look of Good Harbor, and hope they can get the taste of the food to be as great as the menu implied! Maybe we were just there during a bad week? read more

It was a busy, rainy, hot, summer evening. Inside tables filled up quickly. But service may have been the best I've ever had. Very helpful menu suggestions and insights. Water glasses stayed filled, and unobtrusively done! Our meals were very good! Even though customers were starting to pile up waiting for tables, no one rushed us at all! This will be a Glen Arbor favorite for us! read more

In an area where it is hard to find many vegetarian choices GHG is an oasis. The food is tasty and the bottomless salad bowl can't be beat.

Best food and service in Glen Arbor! Chili, burger, crab cakes, salads, homemade soups...can't go wrong.

$15 for a small bowl of chili! Really? Save your loot and find a different place to eat...

We have been here for only a little over 3 days but we have already eaten two lunches and one breakfast at the Good Harbor Grill. The food is excellent, portions good, and service excellent. We will definitely be back several more times during our stay in Glen Arbor. read more

The staff is great, the food is amazing with a good atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're coming to a nice small restaurant. Dinner is very elegant read more
