The food was delicious I ordered the salmon salad. Service was great no complaints. The ambiance was good nice clean and tidy.

Excellent service, ambience and the food was incredibly delicious, freshly made . The guacamole was fresh and bright. Salsa just the right amount of cilantro and sweetness. Bright, colorful. My main course ,quesadilla was large and crispy, cheesy, the chicken was moist and flavorful. My partner's brisket tacos ! The meat was tender and delicious. Highly recommend!! We will be eating here again and again. read more

Absolutely amazing food, service, ambiance, all of it. LOVED the calamari! I could eat that for every meal! read more

Great service, diverse menu with excellent featured specials everytime we come in. We have cottage 15 mi away so regularly come here in the summer and are never disappointed. My go- to on the regular menu is the shrimp salad- the lemon vinaigrette is amazing. My most recent favorite was a pork belly vermicelli bowl- the sauce on it would be great on the rice bowl they offer as well read more

Excellent food in a beautiful setting. Friendly, attentive servers make for a great experience overall. My cilantro lime shrimp rice bowl was really good, as was my husband's burger. His was served with large, tasty onion rings. My salmon chowder starter was also quite tasty. They supply blankets for added comfort when seated outside. I would highly recommend this place! read more

The best restaurant in the state of Michigan bar none. The waitstaff and owner are all A + in my humble opinion. The French Onion Soup is the best, they have the best Margaritas ever and the burgers are to die for. Please, don't stop at Flint, Detroit or any tourist spots along the way. Make it quick to Rachel's before you get lost in the snow and black ice on the cold Michigan highway. Make it to the county seat of Lake Huron and stop by for the best burgers and drinks in the area! read more

Lovely little spot in bad axe. I was kind of surprised by the type of food based on the name "bar and grill" as they have more elevated bistro fare at a higher price point than I think of for a bar. The place is clean and well decorated. Server was nice. We ordered two of their bowl options one of the chicken teriyaki and a shrimp. Took quite a while to come out for a Monday at lunch but I think they may have just had one cook. Was worth the wait though, very yummy and good portion. Rice was cooked perfectly and teriyaki had a great flavor. read more

I like this little restaurant- I've had the teriyaki salmon and rice bowl several times and I actually crave it! The steak is really good too. Service is good. One of the best restaurants in Bad Axe. read more

Rachel's Bar & Grill - Birthday dinner and a lovely dessert!!! - Bars Near Me - Bad Axe, Michigan

The young lady with blonde hair that was in the bar was very rude when we asked to have the table cleaned off and not go in the area where all the fumes were. It felt like we inconvenienced her. I don't recommend Rachel's Bar. read more

Been here twice. I understand why this place is popular in bad axe, interior is cozy. Dress code is casual. Service on both occasions showed that they rotate tables quickly. First time here I had the teriyaki chicken. The description mentioned it was marinated in teriyaki. It was drizzled on the chicken over rice, not marinated, which was moderately disappointing as the marinade would have added to the tenderness of the chicken, a certain level of umami, and really been a "flavor bomb" to the whole dish. I also thought the pairing of Brussels sprouts was unconventional. We ended up coming back, to give this place a second try, and I was able to capture photos. I got the broasted mushrooms which were pretty good, I was surprised as to how much flavor was captured in each bite. Though I recommend eating them quickly as the amount of water that was retained ended up making them soggy after 5-7 minutes. For the entree, I got the prime rib that was written on the "specials" board. It is hard to mess up a good piece of meat. Flavor was enhanced with mushrooms and onions, though I was dissatisfied with the plating. As you can see here, it was sitting in a pool of the juices from the meat. At a traditional steak house it would be sitting on a dry plate, and the juices "Au Jus" would be in a cup on the side. The reason this is important is so the integrity of the sides wouldn't be waterlogged. The experience of the food the second time showed me why this place can get busy. read more

I had the steak fajitas on Taco Tuesday. Very disappointed in the portion sizes. Very few pieces of steak. I also had a small spoonful of refried beans. The amount of grated cheese was a joke. I didn't have enough for 2 fajitas. It was not worth the $18 menu item. It was disappointing because it was not a pleasant meal I am used to eating at Racheal's. read more

Our meal at Rachel's was truly a delight. The weather was beautiful so we sat outside but under the shade - what a thoughtful setup they have! Enjoyed the heat and the breeze but never any direct sun, and it was so nice to be outside next to all the flowers and greenery. As far as the meal goes: each dish was delicious! I think my personal favorite was the salmon chowder, but I'm a big soup girl at heart. Special shout out to our waitress who was an absolute dream, was so patient with us (we were indecisive as everything sounded so good) and provided awesome recommendations. Extra bonus: the drink menu here is INSANE GOOD. They make syrups in-house and don't use mixes (so that margarita is from scratch). I'm not a big drinker but I would make a point to have a cocktail here because they were just that good. read more

Food, service and ambience was great!! It seems that they have a good turnover and they take care of their customers!

Great service. Varied menu of good and interesting good food. Nice protected and open outdoor seating.

I went here for dinner while I'm area for work. I had the fish and chips. Great portion and tasted great. Had a great atmosphere, staff were friendly and our food came out fast. Would definitely come back if I'm ever back in the area. read more

Horrible service. Food was not cooked and the meat was old. And it looked just plane and not cooked. I dont recommend.

Rachel's offers simply the BEST food. Not simply the best in a small town, Rachel's is a destination. We've tried a variety of dishes - the Salmon Chowder is my wife's favorite, the bowls (think power bowl) are amazing, the chicken dishes truly exceptional. Taco Tuesday's are a treat, the loaded fries are decadent (piled with real cheese), and the sangria specials are, well, try them! This restaurant is featured in the film "Bad Axe" (Hulu) which tells the amazing and heartwarming story of the family that owns and runs the restaurant. The film (imho) captures the essence of what sets Rachel's apart, the people. Truly inspirational... hopeful in a time we need hope. read more

Our family and I came for sushi night and it was amazing. We had a great time and the food was amazing.

Lots of seating, decent size menu. Nice drinks menu. We had a great server, our food was delicious. A little pricey, but nice quality food.

Top notch! We loved the servers. We loved the food. We seriously thought Rachel's served us the best food we've had in a long time! At least a week. That Salmon Chowder was on point! The Cajun Shrimp pasta was excellent per one in our party. Rick's entertainment was awesome!! The Mango Salmon was super, served with Brussels Sprouts and Jasmine Rice. The Signature Salmon with coconut cream sauce was outstanding. The staff ... We couldn't believe how much they rocked all the tables, bright it home with great service. While we were there, a party of 40!! was being served simultaneously and we could hardly tell. The drinks and wine pours were generous and served with a smile. Thank you, Rachel's, for a great evening of great food and ambience. read more

Excellent food, great friendly staff, reasonable prices.The ambience and decor is outstanding. Perfect restaurant for date night!

Delicious as always. These mango shrimp tacos are my favorite shrimp tacos of all time. They're packed with flavor and it is the perfect combination of heat and sweet. I love the way they Julienne the mango and take the time to slice the jalapeños thin. this place never disappoints. #tacotuesday #shrimptacos #rachelsofbadaxe www.rachelsofbadaxe.com read more

Great little spot! Stoped here on our way north for lunch and had some great food and service. We were seated quickly and food came in a timely manner. Our sever (regretfully didn't get her name) was very sweet and attentive. We ordered a bowl of their salmon chowder to share and she filled it to the brim and served it with 2 spoons without having to ask. Chowder was very good, think thick tomato soup with a twist. We had the salmon salad and bacon cheeseburger for lunch, both were cooked perfectly! Nothing but good things to say, definitely recommend for a nice lunch! read more

We hosted a large family birthday party (buffet-style) at Rachel's, and it was WONDERFUL! From the planning (with the awesome Skyler), to the set-up, and the food, this was a 5+ star experience. Skyler was a pleasure to work with during the planning of our event, and answered all of our many questions and helped us with the perfect menu selections (we chose the Rachel's Classic selections). The food was FANTASTIC! The pineapple-glazed chicken and roast beef were cooked and flavored to perfection. The green beans, caesar salad, and potatoes were also delicious and so fresh. The entire staff did a great job, the food was refilled regularly and presented buffet-style beautifully. Rachel, Chun (and family) always provide the finest quality of food and experience at their establishment. I highly recommend Rachel's for any meal, and especially for any special event. read more

Great find in Bad Axe, where choices aren't plentiful. Nice atmosphere, especially the outside seating area. Service was good, no complaints. I've been here twice, and both times I got the same dish - the Caprese Chicken, which is delicious. If you are a fan of the Caprese salad, you'll love this entrée! The calamari was very good, too. The craft cocktails are creative and very tasty - I loved the honey lavender spritzer I had on my first visit, and their red sangria is also excellent. If you're passing thru the area and looking for a decent dinner and drinks, this is the place. read more
