We have had a family house down the road for 90+ years and decided to give Wolverine Gardens a try…read more The hospitality and service were absolutely unmatched. We were greeted by the bartender and a few locals who were as friendly as can be. My bottle was never close to empty before I was asked for another. The best part, they sell T-shirts as a memory for one of the greatest bar experiences of all time. They have a great back room for any sized event, plus a stage for a live band. I wish we had been there for one of those situations as the grand room seemed to be full of good times. Would recommend booking in advance for private parties. Bathroom was tucked away, but had running water! 11/10 recommend, please pay respect to the generations who have passed through this Michigan delicacy

We were seeking more adventure so loaded up the van with Grampy and the kids to go visit the Wolverin Gardens. You never know how it's going to be with the locals but they were warm and welcoming. We were greeted by the Owner Bobby who was quick with his service and beyond friendly. After a few cold beers it was time to use the facilities which were located beyond the grand ballroom. We were advised to please excuse the mess as it was still partially strewn with holiday decorations and the bands equipment from recent festivities. Well worth the trip as the restrooms were vintage and well used. We had discussions and considered the ballroom for my daughter's wedding reception someday, but to my disappointment the WG does not serve food (perhaps we can cater in??) Long and short of it is a little piece of history with friendly service and clientele- a place I will be telling my friends to visit if they ever travel that way. I loved it and I'm sure I will visit again one day.

Noise level inside was quite high, they get very busy, but we sat on the patio to the side of the open garage door. I think 90% of the guests were from Chicago. Great selection of wines by the bottle & some fun beers. You can get some cans or bottles of wine to go too, if you'd like.

They do not have sweet drinks, which I prefer, so I will probably stick with beer. I like that they have many nonalcoholic options, as someone who is not a big drinker. I do wish that they could make an Aperol Spritz though. The bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Greenbush Brewing Co. remains a favorite stop for a reason. Their Tuesday wing special (the Joique…read moreWings) is legendary for a reason--the perfect level of smoke and flavor. I make it a point to time my visits so I can hit them at lunch. Pair them with one of their solid house brews like Star Chicken Shotgun or Distorter, and you can't go wrong. The vibe is great, and the service is always top-notch and welcoming. A Michigan staple!

It was refreshing to peruse an interesting small plates menu which we would definitely go back to try on a future visit. There is also a traditional menu as well as a special menu on weekends prepared by a guest chef featuring international cuisine. We tried the "Thai Night" menu and especially enjoyed the vegetarian potstickers in a delicious Thai sauce and the noodle salad with shrimp. The flavors were layered, with a delicate creamy texture and just the right amount of spice. There is a parking lot on site and reservations are a must on weekends, although an early arrival might get you a nice spot at the bar!

As a chef myself, i recognize seasoning, care ,cooking,pairing,plating This place is my new favorite Even the fried mushrooms are not mushy canned and fried, they are whole fresh mushrooms and the breading is to die for tasty crunchy .

We showed up on a saturday afternoon after working on cars in shorts and a tee shirt with our friend from indianapolis and were treated with a four star meal . Will be back for many more.

We ordered the whitefish, which was really good, very buttery and generous portion size. The ribs were fairly tender but salty. The coleslaw was nice and I liked the potato salad the best (compared to the fries or red potato side options). My husband and was very interested in the walleye, but we wanted to mix it up. It was nice to share a little meat and fish. Our toddler ate up all the kids mac and cheese. And the blueberry fruit pie with ice cream was a fun way to end the meal - not too sweet. Service was friendly and attentive and the food came out quickly. Definitely a solid place.

Sometimes you know you're in the right place before you even sit down…read more The smell that hit us when we walked into Lake Street Eats immediately made us look at each other and say, "Yep... we're eating here." It was our first visit, and the bartender quickly welcomed us, asked how we were enjoying the Bridgman area, and made us feel right at home. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed being there, joking with what seemed like several regulars seated around the bar. That kind of atmosphere is hard to fake. We started with the cheese curds, and I have one request for the owners: please bottle whatever dipping sauce comes with them. The portion was generous, and I'd give the cheese curds a solid 9/10 on the stretch meter, which I consider an important scientific measurement. We paired them with a local IPA and a Modelo while taking in the relaxed neighborhood vibe. Between the friendly staff, local décor, full bar, and laid-back atmosphere, it felt like one of those places where locals become regulars. The only minor downside was that it was pretty warm inside during our visit, but it was also a warm day outside, so it didn't take away from the experience. Next time we're in Bridgman, we'll be aiming for one of the outdoor tables. We'll definitely be back--and probably ordering those cheese curds again.
