    Tequila pasta

    We were seated right away and received great service. Really enjoyed my cocktail and the lobster bisque was really good

    Fajitas
    McKenna S.

    Super cool venue with a cozy, low lit vibe. More of a supper club vibe. Fast service, but food was mid. Fajitas were very inexpensive at $14 and they were pretty bland definitely needed more seasoning. My husband got the tequila pasta and he said he would give it a seven out of 10. I thought it was tasty and unique. Brussels sprouts were dry for my liking, but had good flavor would come back.

    Such a cute and yummy restaurant. Visiting St. Joe for the day to see the frozen lighthouse. Our waitress was so sweet.

    A casual restaurant overlooking Lake Michigan. Indoor and outdoor seating available but the outdoor seating is along a pretty busy street so it can get noisy. Visited by locals and visitors,their menu offers just about everything from burgers,salads,soups,noodles and chef features. Started with a Michigan Old Fashion and Cider. They also have a huge beer and wine list. I had the Perch sandwich. Lightly breaded and moist. Came with fries and I substituted the Cole Slaw with asparagus. Delicious My wife had the Black and Blue salad with tenderloin. The salad tho was just romaine lettuce with nothing else such as tomatoes,cucumbers or not much bleu cheese. The tenderloin was seasoned perfectly. This place is very well known in the area and is definitely a place to try when in St.Josephs!

    The fresh mozzarella melted in the burger and the pesto added an amazing flavor!

    The clam chowder soup( not many places have good clam chowder) was delicious and my burger was unique and extremely tasty... my husband hamburger and fries were just perfect Server was good and the atmosphere was decent!

    Caprese Burger

    Great location to the beach and the shops downtown. I had the Caprese burger and fries and was not disappointed. Tap beer was cold and staff was friendly and on point. My Wife had the turkey club panini and really enjoyed it. Fries were crisp and flavorful. 2 entrees, 2 beers and a tea for $52.00.

    This place deserves better ratings! We had a lovely water view patio seat for a light dinner in August. Garlic bread and gumbo for husband, crab cakes for me. I really enjoyed the mango salsa with the crab cakes. Lingered long enough to drink two ciders!

    The most perfect, yummy, delicious Reuben sandwich. My husband and I stopped here on New Year's Day while visiting St. Joseph's. When we arrived, the hostess and waitresses were very friendly. I ordered the Reuben and my husband had the soup & salad. The sweet potato fries were delicious. I highly recommend. I can't wait to come back and try the fresh catch of the day and more of their soups. The inside of the restaurant has a view of the water & is very clean & cute.

    My family went there on a Saturday after a day at the beach. We were greeted by Remy who was fantastic in getting a seated at a great table. Our server was Brittney and she did an awesome job. We ordered some beer bartered onion rings snd the were perfectly cooked. No onions pulling out in these. Every bite was crunchy and devoured immediately. The perch sandwiches were very delicious and just tasty. The croissant chicken salad sandwiches hit the spot! The only downsides was the dark vanilla porter beer didn't have any type of head on it at all. The bill has an automatic what's going on 20% to 30% tip.... We did the custom tip feature. I would go back to this place.

    Before the very constructive critic I'd like to start off by saying the service here was AMAZING! Young lady that took care of us was very attentive, the staff was super friendly, they cleared as we finished and was felt very welcomed! Now the hash part, ‍ Crabcakes, good flavor but for sure we're missing something, lemon zest, definitely a little more panko. Calamari, UFF.. if you're looking for pre-battered frozen VERY heavy breaded calamari with NO flavor this is it. Almost would bet that they were cooked in VERY old frying oil. Or it was just a horrible calamari they order n serve. But for sure if I had to bet the oil was probably just not filtered or changed in a while! (Our fries had that burnt oil taste as well) We than ordered a Wagyu Burger with additional toppings, WAGYU burger. Hard to mess it up. But for sure lacked seasoning. Sadly! Now keep in mind. I do work in the industry. Blessed to say I run a million dollar catering company n we strive to serve the best to our guest. Had a Flatbread n Boy! If ur looking to get a soggy greasy flatbread. Wow! Sad. Our waiter asked for me to give back my honest feedback n sadly it just was bad! All in all. Service is what did it for us! But the food. :( no bueno!

    My husband has been talking for years about how he has never been to Schu's. I was super excited that he decided to take us here to eat instead of just constantly reminding me he hasn't been here. We came in on Wednesday April 26th and our servers name was Tina. Tina was a great server for our dine in meal and was the cherry on top of a wonderful night. Checking in on us regularly and generally being helpful. She got us our food quickly and our order was correct. Tina also is super funny and while usually with my anxiety I don't love extra interactions, she was absolutely wonderful. My husband got an angus burger with a side of french fries. I got the bucatini pasta with meatballs, which comes with a bread stick and a salad with choice of dressing (I got ranch). Our food was great and my husband was already talking about coming back to enjoy the outside seating. We had also discussed coming by Schu's to sit by the bar so we can watch a sports game on one of their televisions. Before heading out I used the restroom really quickly and it was clean. Everything was wonderful and we are very excited to come back already. Thanks Schu's and Tina for giving us a great Wednesday night.

    Our server was very helpful and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio on such a beautiful Mother's Day. The drinks were served to us quickly along with ice water which was appreciated. My salad was refreshing and a good size with very tender steak. My husband said his perch sandwich was tasty. I would come back next time we are driving through.

    The chicken dinner special is a good deal here. Chicken is good, sides are just ok. Green beans, coleslaw, and mashed potatoes. Coleslaw did not seem fresh and the green beans were cold. The swiss burger was ok but came with items I said I did not want. Not sure if that was a server issue, because nothing was being written down, or a kitchen error. The salt and pepper shakers were really dirty and sticky, like just not getting wiped down at all. It wasn't cleanser sticky either. French's ketchup is also gross. The service was very friendly. Overall, it was just ok.

This place is huge and beautiful. There is a gorgeous patio area and bar stools outside lining the indoor bar with garage doors that were open. I love an open air bar in the summer. It makes it feel so.... Summery. Our bartender was wonderful! Super helpful and accommodating. We spilt the lobster rolls because there were two of them and I never eat all of my food anyway. They split them up and gave us two plates with separate fries etc. The presentation was great. The food was delicious! I was working while we were there and needed to get on a few meetings so we ended up hanging out for about two hours. They were so good to us. Most definitely will be back!

While not a…read morevegetarian, she often will choose a vegetarian dish and with how vegetable heavy the menu is, I figured this was the perfect opportunity to come in for the first time. While Happy Poochie has been open for years, their short hours (11am-2:30pm M-F) make it hard to coordinate with my husband with days off. We came in not long after they opened at 11am on Monday, July 27th and stayed about an hour chatting even after we finished our meals. I got the cold hand cuke sandwich with a soda, while my parents split a sandwich (that I didn't hear the name of but had turkey on it), my mom choosing a canned tea and my dad getting a fountain drink lemonade. My mom almost got some chips, but they didn't have the healthier chips that she prefers. This spot was super cozy as well as clean. My dad used the restroom and reported back that it was well maintained. They have a cute porch area to enjoy on nice days like today, but we opted to stay inside. This was all of our first time here and we're very impressed with Happy Poochie Eatery. I very much would recommend finding a way to come out and try a sandwich or salad, though the hours do make that hard for the standard 9-5 worker. Thanks so much Happy Poochie Eatery for the fantastic food and I can't wait to come again!
