It had the standard toppings--avocado, corn, black bean, tomato, tortilla chips. But the cheese was melted on top, like a kind of crunchy/chewey plate--it really looked like it was topped with a mini pizza. Not sure that enhanced the salad, but overall it was fine. Instead of dressing, it came with tubs of sour cream and salsa to mix in. I do that at home sometimes, so can't complain. The lettuce was fresh and crispy. Decent beer selection, including a quite a few bottled ones, which I hadn't noticed until after I ordered my pint of Two Hearted. Be sure to ask for a bottle menu. I sat at the bar and the server regularly looked in on me. Wasn't too noisy, in spite of the tight space that was full when I stopped in on a Sunday night. Nice little spot to check out in Manistee.

The fried pickles are in French fry form. Perfectly coated and crispy. The pretzels were buttery and soft. Would recommend both! Not anything special about the burger or chicken strips according to the others with whom I was dining. The nachos on the other hand were excellent! Fresh lettuce, tomato, and onions. Great tasting ground beef. The half size was more than enough for a normal appetite. It was our first time in the area. I'd definitely check out other spots if in the area again before committing to this one, but not disappointed with our visit.

A cute divey spot in downtown Ludington. I had mixed feelings about my experience. I stopped here…read moreafter a long day of driving. Met up with a group of 5 to get drinks and food before checking into our Airbnb. The first thing we noticed was that there were no tables for groups larger than 4, so we grabbed a chair from another table and all crammed around a high top. There appeared to only be 1 waitress working and while she was friendly she was not attentive. Food took 50minutes to come out and drinks ran empty without refills. I had ordered 2 appetizers and skipped the mains. First up were the fried Pickle Chips that came with a ranch dip. The batter was flavorful, and the pickle fried to perfection. The second app I had gotten were the Bavarian Pretzel Sticks which came with a house made beer cheese. The pretzels were warm and doughy without being dry and the beer cheese was incredible. The rest of the table ordered wings and a burger, and everyone had great things to say about their food. The food was great but the wait time, lack of seating, and lack of staff really put a damper on the experience. This pub is currently sitting at a 5.3 on my Beli and it feels like a fair rating. Food is on point, customer service needs work.

After attempting to flag our bartender down we finally got a response from another person in the bar who was able to bring us one single menu for 3 people. After our menu we sat and waited a half hour and watched everyone else around us get acknowledged and served. 30 minutes later we put enough cash on the bar to cover drinks and walked out. This bar seems to only cater to locals. I truly had high hopes when I walked in. If your from out of town just go to Applebees your better off.

It had a great blue cheese on it that wasn't too overpowering to the other tastes. I would order this again. I was surprised by how much I liked the pizza. Who would have thought pickles would be a good addition! The unconventional toppings really blended together beautifully. I would order this again too. I thought the onion rings were ok. The sauce really saved them.

Generously prepared, great seasoning and with the right temperature. The fries are sprinkled with cinnamon which was a first for me. The sweet potato fries were a little soggy but not bad. The cherry hard cider was fizzy and refreshing, It looks like the restaurant used to be a fire house. To me, it's like if the Hot House (Menomonee Falls) and Mission BBQ had a baby. Our server was excellent. She took very good care of us. On a quiet afternoon, we were sat by the bar, by a group that was very loud. We would have preferred a different table.

Really mixed review. Food was good but the service was meh at best…read more We were seated immediately but then it took over 10 minutes before someone talked to us again. No drinks, no "we will be with you shortly" or anything. We just sat there. Finally a server came over and said they had a big group come in and it was causing some backup and the host should have told us; he didn't. The drinks and appetizer came quickly and the street corner appetizer was very good; I would order it again. Once the appetizer was finished we sat with empty glasses for a good while. Again, no communication. Once the food arrived, things got much better. Wraps were good, not great. My daughter's pizza was good. With all the restaurants in the area, they will need to up their game on service.
