We had a nice table with a view and our server was very attentive. We started with the smoked white fish dip. We don't get or have white fish where we live so we always order it when we're in Michigan. We ordered the Fried Perch, Mahi Tacos, and Mac n Cheese. The perch was good, more battered than I prefer but still good. The mahi tacos were delicious and the mac n cheese was rich, gooey, with house made bread crumbs on top. What a great spot.

My wife's mocktail the grapefruit fizz was probably the best I have ever tasted. It was not just a juice and sugar bomb. Had the short rib hummus which was wonderfully crafted and balanced.

The chicken you could tell was very high quality and done perfectly and the salad was expertly balanced. Service was fantastic and the dining room was very cute.

The staff prepare a cooler for you that you can fill w drinks and snacks purchased from their shop. They had a great selection of beer, wine, prosecco, sodas, juices etc. They also had ice cream. The staff was helpful in explaining how to work the boat and gave us a speaker for music. Our group had a blast! We went in the evening and stayed out until around sunset. The donut boat was easy to operate. You sit in a circle with a circle table in the middle. Everyone in our group had so much fun! The circle set up was great for talking, laughing and socializing! I would love to rent one of the adorable retro boats next time! This is a must do in Saugatuck!

I loved everything about the space from the service to the vibe. The bathrooms were clean and it's a great place to grab a cocktail and unwind.

Kinda expensive but was not bad.We will certainly revisit if in the area.

Was told we could sit at a certain table but she would be a minute to clean it up. 10 mins later we noticed a lot of sour face guests waiting for service and dirty tables everywhere. We left. Super bummed. I guess better luck next time.

I especially liked the nonalcoholic choices while my husband enjoyed the craft beer selection. Food and service were both excellent. The deviled eggs are a must, and that's from someone who generally doesn't eat them. The dinner menu isn't terribly large but what they do, they do very well. Dessert menu rotates but the pots de crème we ordered was amazing. Prices and portion sizes are pretty reasonable. We intend to make Borrowed Time a regular stop during or trips to SW Michigan.

Haven't done a Yelp review in a few years and trust me, I've been to at least like three of four…read moredifferent places in the timespan. Nothing quite made me want to leave a review. Sure, I'd leave places and be like, "I should really do them a solid" but then I just went home and either forgot about it or started doing other stuff. Have gotten really into running since COVID and that's pretty much my favorite topic of discussion (running, not COVID). Had between 15 and 20 Miller Lites over the course of a three-night span here in late June 2026. This place is like Outback Steakhouse in the "no rules, just right" type of way. I do not believe they serve food here but did see bartenders making microwavable popcorn on request to several patrons. So this place is designed with a three-room set-up. You walk in and it's a square carpeted room that can be used for live music. Then you reach the bar area, then there are pool tables. There seemed to be an area behind the pool tables but I was too afraid to go back there. Now in terms of bar design, I would have led with the bar but that's just me and I'm sure the architects (possibly Mike Brady from "The Brady Bunch") knew what they were doing. I tend to trust professionals, apart from what our public health "experts" did to us during the forementioned COVID. This bar is cash only. That's probably in other reviews. Also, if you have AT&T cell service, good luck. There's no service so you can't look up scores and check Instagram. And now you're thinking, "what about the wifi?" C'mon bro, be serious. I love this bar. They have four different TVs in the main bar area that range from 19 to 45 inches. All are on different setups. Antenna, YouTubeTV, etc. The staff is fantastic. Patrick and Katie were my two favorites. Entertaining and straight out of bartending central casting. I was just drinking beers so I can't comment on what like a cocktail or normal-person drink tastes like. Clientele ranges from bachelorette parties to people who have seen some shit. It's a dive bar that never had to try to be a dive bar. You'll read other reviews on this place and they are super granular or longwinded or whatever. Don't pay attention to those bozos. This place is strictly vibes. Did I mention the dropped ceilings have art paintings on them? One even has a Pontiac painted on it. Hell yeah, Michigan. Haven't seen a Pontiac since cars still had cassette tape players in them. I would live there if I could. And I'm a proud Ohioan.

Great spot for a special occasion…read more We had the Kansas steak. It came on a platter that was so hot that the oil was bubbling. We got the fries without truffle bc I hate truffle oil.

We came late - everything closed earlier in this town so was very very very glad to find a place that was open after 9:00. The waiter was amazing - so nice and had a nice talk. Would definitely go back again.

It's set inside a two-story home turned restaurant with dark, cozy, black and gray vibes super intimate and perfect for a night out.

I'm still thinking about those potatoes. Our waitress was amazing, the bartending was on point, and the wine was so good we literally came back the next night just to drink it again. No shame. Highly recommend. Come hungry and plan on staying awhile.
