Started off well with our "30 minute wait" time being about 15. Service was good but slow, food was over half an hour after order (they were obviously busy). Wife said the Cherry Stir Fry was tasty but my salmon was overcooked and dry. Guess I should have stuck with the sandwich menu. Peach Belgian was very good and I would definitely recommend. read more

Went tonight. Our second time. Last time was 2 yrs ago. We loved it and couldn't wait to go back but tonight we were disappointed. Waitress needed to blow her nose. It was gross. Each time she came in, it was disgusting Food was ok. 2 in our party liked theirs, 2 didn't. I didn't. Service was ok. They couldn't make steaks or burger tonight. Grill was down or something. Ok. We won't be going back. Can't for the life of us remember what we loved about it last time. read more

It hurts to give a 4 vs 5. Need a 4.5! 5 stars for....excellent staff at host stand. Friendly, welcoming, sat sooner than quoted time. (30 mins when quoted 45-50). Nice sized bar area and huge outdoor patio where you are welcome to wait. Bartender made us feel welcome even though we didn't need drinks while waiting. Excellent views on the beautiful patio! Live music. Excellent server! NA options...4 beers plus mocktails. Huge variety on the menu and well priced. All of that said...the food is what you come to a restaurant for, right?? 3 stars for food... We ordered cheese curds and asked if regular or spicy were better. Were told we could do half and half. Great to have that option. The regular ones were excellent. Spicy were terrible. Gyro was a small serving size and flavorless. Nice amount of feta and other toppings, very little lamb meat. Tuna was good, not great. Prob 3.5 stars All in all, food doesn't have to be perfect to be good and you can truly enjoy going out if the food is "just" good. Will definitely go back and try other menu options. Since there's a great variety we'd likely find something excellent. read more

Stopped in here on a Tuesday night and was told the wait for a table was 20-30 minutes. Grabbed a beer from the bar while we waited. There were 3 IPA options on tap which is what I typically order, but I opted for the pumpkin wheat While I waited. It was very light and refreshing without a heavy pumpkin taste. We ordered the potstickers and cheese curds as appetizers. Both were served hot and fresh. Very tasty! It took awhile after apps were out for our entrees to arrive. I ordered the Reuben with sweet potato fries. Reuben was very good but sweet and potato fries left a lot to be desired. For my second beer, I ordered the West Coast IPA. It was a mosaic ipa and a bit hoppy! Very cool, solid restaurant. Super cool area & would definitely revisit for the beer! read more

Individuals raved about this spot, but it was just an A-OK spot inside food was nothing to get excited about honestly a few nights earlier, we went outside to the bar and garden and ordered from their menu and I think that food outside was better than the inside food. It is an average bar food restaurant. Probably liked because it's been there for a while. We would have given it a 3-1/2 if possible. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday night mid winter in this summer time seasonal town during Brew Fest and this place was packed. It is a definite brewpub vibe. We were a little slow to be seated since they somehow crossed us off the list without seating us, but after straightening that out, our meal was worth the wait. I had the pecan crusted Perch and my wife had the fish and chips. Both were very good and highly recommended. We will definitely return in the summer. read more

Ludington Bay has two great breweries and this is one of them. Tucked away in this beautiful building you have a wide selection of beers and the menu is solid also. In the summer it can get quite busy, so be gentle on the wait staff, they are awesome! Well worth the drive out. read more

Food was good. The Ahi Tuna was delicious but needed a little soy sauce to go with the wasabi. Atmosphere is nice but the acoustic guitar was too loud. My mother wanted to leave early as a result. read more

Stopped here for lunch during a work trip and it was great - a perfect spot Our salads were filling and they were the half salads! I had the Michigan Cherry Pecan Salad. It was mixed greens with Michigan dried cherries, toasted pecans, bleu cheese crumbles and requested no red onion. Served with cherry vinaigrette dressing. I added grilled salmon. The salmon was perfectly cooked. Nice crispy delicious edges and it was juicy in the middle. I ate every bit of this salad. It was perfect sized for lunch. My colleague had the beer cheese soup and said it was one of her favorite soups here. The service was very prompt. Greeted and brought to our table within a minute of arriving. It was a very busy place at lunch for a weekday (Tuesday). Our server was kind and very attentive. She knew we were there on a lunch break and gave us time/space and made sure we weren't waiting long for drinks, food, or the check. I love that you can pay the bill at the table. Makes it so fast and efficient! The place was casual and clean - very comfortable for a quick business lunch and or lunch with family. Bathrooms were clean. Street parking only. I definitely recommend this location for all that it is and has to offer. If I'm ever in the are again, I will definitely be back. read more

Great seating options outside and in. The service was friendly and quick. We ordered a lot considering it was my birthday. We got the seared tuna to start, bloody Mary's, and entrees. The tuna was excellent!!! The food was very good in general with exception to the Cesar salad. The lettuce was not fresh but the server was quick and kind about making it right. We truly appreciate how they wanted to remedy the situation. I liked that they had tofu on the menu. They deep fry it which I wasn't expecting, but it was tasty. Tons of options on the menu and many nights of live music. They brew their own beers which we would like to try sometime. We recommend and would happily come back! read more

We had an amazing experience here! We stopped in for lunch before our campsite was ready and we're promptly greeted and sat even though it was busy. The whole menu looked impressive, but we decided to go with some light lunchfare. My pecan chicken wrap was perfect and my husband's fish sandwich was also very very good. We enjoyed the cheese curds, but wished there was more of them for the price point but still it was nice to see house made battered curds. We didn't get to sample much of the beer, but the ones we had were also very good. Overall, it was delightful visit, and we look forward to returning upon our next trip to Ludington. read more

We had the Cottage pie and it was delicious! Both the service and the food were excellent! High praises!!

Always great food. High five for Lexi. Great Service! Love the artichoke dip My favorite is the tuna with flight of draft specialty beers

Quick stop in, but amazing hospitality at the bar! We were on a bicycle trip down the west coast of Michigan and hit plenty of breweries on the way down. Happy to report that this was the best hazy IPA we had! I also had the strawberry wheat. Now that's an easy beer to get wrong, but they did it absolutely right. Easy to drink, not too sweet, refreshing. We didn't go out, but the patio looked great. From what I saw, they have plenty of live music on the weekends. Will go back if I'm ever in Ludington. read more

When we went for dinner they were on a long wait but we found a spot at the bar to eat. We got a few drinks which were reasonably priced. I got a side MI cherry salad and the pecan encrusted perch and it was delicious. He wasn't that hungry so he just got a soft pretzel and said it was good. They have a great menu and the service is usually pretty good. We always come back here when in town. read more

Nice brew pub with good selection of beer. The food is above par for a brew pub with some. Dry creative combinations. PB&J burger; not what you think. Hand formed and grilled burger with peanut sauce. Bacon and habanero jam. It was great, and I'm still sweating. The salad selection was really nice combinations, berries and feta, cherries and blue cheese. My husband enjoyed the Ruben an the Ahi tuna was perfectly cooked and was a healthy portion. The outside deck was very comfortable, but there is a permanent sticky film on the tables that wouldn't come off. read more

After a quick trip up to Ludington for a beach hike to the Big Sable Lighthouse, made a pitstop at this cute victorian-storefronted brewpub for a flight and a bite. The nautical decor was great, the reuben was delicious & I loved my beer sampler as my blueberry wheat actually came served with real blueberries! It was a perfect respite after a longer than expected hike along the shoreline in this adorbale town. Beers hadl Strawberry Hefeweizen 6% Blueberry Wheat (real blueberry floaters) 5.6% Weizenbock 6.8% Scottish Strong Ale 8.2% read more

Great spot. Initially planned for a salad but Trevor convinced me to try the burger...PB&J to be exact. Great burger but the peanut sauce was indistinguishable. Burger was cooked a little more done than requested but was still good. Hefeweizen was a good pairing. Definitely worth the stop! read more

Ate at Jamesport after getting off the ferry. Checked in, got a buzzer and sat outside to wait for our table. Would have liked to have sat at the bar while we waited, but it was full. I think we were quoted a 15-20 min wait, and it only took about 15 to get seated. Once we sat down, everything went really quickly. Drinks came out fast, followed quickly by the soup and then our meals. My wife had the fish and chips which was very good. It was light and tasty made with a great beer batter. My Rueben was closer to average. Flavor wasn't bad, it's just that I prefer corned beef that is shredded, not deli type sliced and the meat was a little dry. We both ordered soups, I had the soup of the day (which was cream of mushroom) and my wife had the Cheese Ale. We liked them both very much. Even though food came out quickly, we had a really rough time getting refills on our drinks. Pretty much empty for most of our meal, even though we asked for refills a couple of times. Would have liked a friendlier waitress or at least a smile. Not sure if she was unfriendly.... More like she was shy. Restaurant (at least indoors) is pretty loud. It's a cool building, but the hardwood floors and high ceilings make for a lot of echo. Maybe ask for something outdoors if looking for something more intimate. Overall, enjoyed our meal. Would highly recommend any fish with their beer batter. Soups were good too. read more
