    Grilled Cheese with Paper inside.
    Mai A.

    They left the paper in our grilled cheeses, and our food was kind of overpriced to not be that tasty. /: The atmosphere of the outdoor seating was great though.

    The sandwiches were made on the spot and delicious. They had some nice tables in the shade and it was a great spot to have a lunch and take a break from shopping.

    Looking for a quick, easy, delicious meal while out and about in Saugatuck? Look no further. The Grilled Cheese Shack is not only adorable but puts out some of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I have ever had. Combined with some tasty sides and cold beverage options, I've never been disappointed in my meal. And perhaps their biggest draw for me, in addition to the friendly service, is that they have a patio with plenty of seating to accommodate kids, pets, and parties of all shapes and sizes. I think there were 3-4 dogs enjoying the company of their families while we were dining most recently and it was so nice to see. And located so close to the river front park and chain ferry, taking your food to go to eat at any number of local parks and benches is always a good option too. Make sure to note they are not open outside of the summer (starting Memorial Day), so be sure to confirm that before planning a trip. It is definitely worth a visit and I know we will be back soon!

    We went back in September but I remember it well. They had been out of almost everything and every cheese. The poor kid working the window felt so bad that they were out of so much so we decided to stay and order. So all four of us got Classic grilled cheese with cheddar and a cup of tomato soup. I'm 100% sure it was Campbell's tomato soup too so I was disappointed. It's a cute little shed with plenty of seating with picnic tables and umbrellas. The sandwich were cooked well and tasted fine but they weren't anything fancier than what you can make at home. The kettle chips were however the best part of the meal!

    6:15 pm (Sunday) on June 22, 2025. So, far the hottest weekend of the summer. No one was here. Didn't take long at all. The Herb Goat Cheese Melt (added turkey) was delicious! Soo tasty! Each sandwich comes with kettle chips. The sandwich was huge & very filling. Would definitely recommend this neat little restaurant. FYI - there is only outside seating, but very shaded.

    Great little spot to grab a quick bite or cheaper lunch in the Saugatuk area. They have about 8 different offerings of grilled cheese ranging from the classic to the Brie, onions, and Granny Smith apple grilled cheese (awesome BTW!). All sandwiches come with chips but you can also upgrade to tater tots.

    Really enjoyed our time at Wicks Park. We've been here several times before and really like this…read moreplace. Started off with an app of their cheese curds. Came out hot, delicious and with a side of marinara. We prefer ranch, which tasted SO good, just like house made dressings should taste! Quantity was PLENTY for two people. I took the rest home, air fried it and was happy! Hubby ordered the Burnt Ends Hoagie. Generous amount of brisket, good amount of cheese, very flavorful sauce. Big sandwich. The bun it was on really made the sandwich. Hubby is very picky when it comes to buns, bread, etc. Quality bread can make or break a sandwich! Onion rings he had were hot, big and plentiful. Very tasty! I had the Deep Fried Walleye. I never really order fried food, but this fillet was HUGE and lightly (and nicely) breaded. I hate it when you get more breading and not much protein. The seasoning was perfect-not too salty, not bland. Great tartar sauce. The only reason l gave it 4 starts (because l really wanted to give it 4.5) was because my fries were only warm. Not hot like everything else we had. It was a sunny day, their door/windows were open, nice breeze. They have an outdoor patio area that is pet friendly. They have live music weekly. Enough TVs to catch sports no matter where you sit. Even a cozy fireplace, which was lit. Chad, the general manager stopped by our table to chat. Very nice guy! I highly recommend this restaurant. Definitely will go back again.

    Not the best food or atmosphere. 45 minute wait to sit with a lot of open tables and space. Dirty…read morecigarette beside the table, glass that leaked, food that took way too long to come out. Buffalo roll was dry, chicken tenders had no flavor. Fries were ok. Our server was kind, helped package our stuff to go and attended my food allergy, but from our brief stay in Saugatuck there are plenty of other food options worth waiting to sit for.

    Apology: I didn't take any pictures of the food because we were hungry and it was delicious…read more We went to Phil's while in town visiting The Dunes for the Miss Gay Michigan America Pageant this weekend. Walking in we were immediately redirected because we didn't notice the please wait to be seated sign that was outside of the door. It would be nice if the sign had been a little more visible or if we had been redirected more kindly. We were sat immediately and even though I tend to hate high tops, the chairs were sturdy and comfortable. Between myself and my friends we ordered the grilled ham and cheese, the nutty salad, and the burger (with cheddar, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, mayo, ketchup, and mustard). We all loved our food and it came out quickly. I ordered my burger medium-well and it was cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive and made sure to refill our water frequently. At the end of our meal they gave us little cups of animal crackers, which was just the cutest touch! Overall loved and would totally return and recommend.

    We originally popped into Phil's Bar & Grille just for a quick drink before our dinner…read morereservation... and yeah, that plan didn't stand a chance. We grabbed seats at the bar, and the place was full of locals which honestly tells you everything you need to know right there. And not just full... but full of the nicest people. The kind of place where you feel like you belong within five minutes. Now let's talk about Jimmy... WOW. Absolute rockstar behind the bar. Not only was he making amazing drinks, but he was also doing his best to convince us to ditch our dinner reservations and stay honestly, he almost had us The drinks were so good we ended up coming back later that night for dessert... because clearly we weren't done yet. But here's the part that got me I casually mentioned it was my birthday weekend, nothing big... and the NEXT DAY while we were walking around downtown, we look up and there's my name on the marquee wishing me a happy birthday. Like... who does that?! That kind of thoughtfulness is just next level and completely made my day. Phil's isn't just a bar--it's a whole experience. Every time we walked by, it was packed, and after being there... I get it. They're doing a lot right. If you're anywhere near Saugatuck--GO. Sit at the bar, order a drink, and just enjoy it. You'll probably end up staying longer than you planned too

We tell all of our friends that go to Saugatuck to make sure they don't get sucked into the hype of all of the trendy places in town, they will not regret it if they go to Coral Gables, and we have steered at least 30 people that way and they have all agreed everything was great! Even the couple we dined with yesterday the 20th of July, wanted to go to the "Butler", been there done that and it is overpriced and not consistent, always new staff new cooks etc. Brought them to Coral Gables and they are now hooked as well! We will be back again and again one of our favorites! We are from Sandy Pines Campground & Resort, 2,200 member owned sites here! Small city here in Hopkins, Michigan, you consider advertising in our monthly new paper "Footprints"! I think it would bring you even more happy customers! BRAVO! Keep up the great work!

There was live music playing which made the vibe lively and fun. They accommodated for a lot of large groups there, saw quite a few bachelorette groups. Our server was really sweet and our food was really good as well. The crab ragoon was so creamy on the inside and perfectly fried on the outside. The fish and chips was served super hot and the fries are pub style. The hot chicken sandwich was also so fresh and crispy with the perfect amount of heat. Definitely worth stopping by, they are open late and also have The Annex- another late open bar. Atopt of it which was one of the most fun piano bars.
