    Great fried chicken and reasonably priced, too! We eat there all the time. Small, homey. Cheeseburgers are A+

    Another of my favorite breakfast stops when I'm in the U.P. of Michigan. Good portions, good prices. Quiet, laid back. Cash only.

    Jackson's Pit - There's that Strong to the Finish burger, just waiting for me to dive in.

    Food was fabulous. Our group had everything from salads, burgers and chicken wings. All were tasty…read moreand served quick. Our server Becca was so sweet and attentive. I have missed having service this well! Well done Becca! When leaving, I left my purse hanging on my chair. Ugh!! I called the next day and sure enough the purse was found and cared for until I could retrieve it. It was never touched and nothing missing. Refreshing and I am so thankful for all the staff for being honest. We are traveling and misplacing my purse was stressful. The entire business is run right!

    After trying a few Burgers/Sandwiches of the Week, I have to put this review out at a full five…read morestars. We've gone to Jackson's Pit a few times and are consistently leaving fat, dumb and happy. The food is always well-prepared and balanced, the 'of the Week' selections are unique and, frankly, half of the reason that we keep coming back. The local beer scene is well-represented (taps and bottles) and rotates to keep bringing new brews to try. Taco Tuesdays are a great deal and a lot of fun with the other regulars. Regardless of the up charge, get the fries; you will not be disappointed. I'm stingy and picky, so you know those fries are worth it if I say so. Happy Holidays to Everyone at Jackson's Pit! We've had a great time visiting since we moved here and we're looking forward to more memories in 2023!

    You cannot beat a classic, especially when it's patio season and the Summer Shandies are on tap…read more Smokin'Hubster and I popped in for lunch and had a fabulous time. We rarely sit outside but this patio beckoned and we were helpless to resist. There's even outdoor seating available if you arrive before the restaurant is open! Silas brought us menus and took drink orders right away. We enjoyed the season's first shandies while exploring the menu. His attention was perfect and we shared some laughs each time he returned to our table. Neither one of us wanted to share (I guess) so we each ordered our own appetizers. I can never get enough smoked whitefish spread... until it's ALL MINE! I enjoyed every bite and would do it again. Patrick ordered the walleye strips and he did offer me a bite (generous devil that he is). They were perfectly crisp without being heavy or greasy. If I had known that... nah, I'd still get the whitefish. We'll be back to visit The Portside and try more menu items. Who knows, maybe we'll split something next time?

    Great service from the moment I walked in. Very attentive and friendly. Went over the beer options…read morealong with some samples to test - I prefer dark beers so I'd suggest the Widow Maker .... It went down well when paired with the French onion soup. Give this place a try if you're in the area

    Modern and trendy restaurant, especially compared to the other choices in Houghton…read more I sat at the bar and my server was the bartender. She was very friendly and helpful, even though she was kept quite busy mixing drinks for the other diners. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel with a small side salad. The "small" salad was quite large and very fresh. I can't imagine how big the large salad is! My Jagerschnitzel was good. I would say I would have a lighter breading would have made it even better, but I'd still recommend. Tonight was a " Chamber of Congress" type evening in Houghton. I don't imagine 80 degree nights happen a lot way up here! The great weather brought a lot of people out and about enjoying the river walk and downtown. The restaurant had to limit the number of people seated because they must have been at capacity for their staff.

    We went on a nice early fall day for dinner, and the weather was beautiful. I just wish they had…read moresomething for the bugs, as we wound up with bugs in our cocktails which was off putting. Regardless, we kept the night going lighthearted and thoroughly enjoyed the charcuterie board appetizer we got. Nothing was explained of what was what, so it was a fun guessing game of finding out what we were eating. I ordered the steak special of the night, which was absolutely delightful and cooked just how I like it - medium rare! Served with an au gratin potato and asparagus for sides.
