Always put favorite- Cassidy is awesome- the attention even when slammed is amazing! The Lodge chicken is the best!!!

Aside from sometimes a long-ish wait for food, this is a solid spot in the area. Usually busy, so be prepared to wait. I did like the wait list feature that got texted to me once I checked in so that you can check your place in line! Food is quite good (and we always like the cheese curds). It skews heavy items and fried but there are lighter options if you're looking for them. I tried the bean wrap this time - it was interesting and tasty - very filling for a non meat option. Pretty good wine/beer list and plenty of soda options also. If you don't like waiting, definitely go early! read more

I called in a takeout order this evening. We have dined in many times with no problems. This is the first time we've done takeout. Ordered a full broasted chicken with 3 sides. A dish they are famous for with a 60 year old recipe. Very disappointed. The chicken was in a takeout box but was barely warm. Mac & cheese was very warm and the coleslaw was good. When I called they said 30 minutes. Since I live 15 minutes away I arrived at the 30 minute mark. States on their website "made to order". Not sure if the chicken was. I saw other take out orders in bags on a shelf but not under any heat lamps to keep the food warm. Just disappointed that the chicken was barely warm by the time I got home. Won't order takeout again. read more

On August 2, 2026, during the height of the Taylor Farm Cyclospora Outbreak, we ordered Onion Rings and they were served on lettuce. The menu did not say it was served on lettuce, and we were not told they were served on lettuce. When we told our waitress we would not eat them because of the lettuce, she said she would not serve us new ones because "no one had complained about their lettuce." If we wanted onion rings without lettuce we would have to order another one and pay for both. I left a note for the manager to call me, and I never received a call. This was horrible customer service, especially given their very odd practice of serving onion rings on lettuce. read more

Terrible Be careful ordering their craft drinks. No matter no exchange. You order it you own it! read more

Enjoyed our first trip to the Lodge. Solid burgers, crispy onion rings, and cold drinks. Servers and expo worked well together, were friendly, and covered their sections well. Our only feedback would be to include/try wings on the menu and either 1) leave the egg out of the tuna (preference) or 2) mention egg in the menu. This is definitely a wings kinda crowd and wings would well complement the rest of the menu. read more

The broasted chicken is really nice and tastes great with h an ice cold iced tea. The service is very friendly and fast.

I've only been here once before now, and I got a white chicken chili to go. I remember it being delicious, even though I wanted "regular" chili at the time (but it was the only place I could find chili at all). This time, I got a burger (the Blue Star, specifically) and it was absolutely delicious. Between this and Kitchen 527 (Downtown South Haven), I would have a tough time picking a favorite, but the Lodge has smash burgers, so it's dissimilar enough from a regular burger to let me compartmentalize the two tastes. Highly recommended! The fries were great too, but I smother them in ranch, so I couldn't be a true judge. Shut up ant eat it! read more

It's not a trip to Michigan without a stop at The Lodge! Ordered a carry out Firebird wrap on my way out of town - it was tasty! If you've never been inside, it's very open with a small bar. There's an outdoor seating area, but I've never been back there. I typically grab to-go with my family since the patio isn't dog friendly, but it's only about a 15 minute wait. I will say $15 is a little steep for a wrap and chips (+ $1 if you want the dip) but when you're camping and it's one of the best local options - it's worth it. read more

Service outstanding and friendly. Smoked salmon dip was best we've had. Food was great! I will say it was lunch time in the week so I'm sure this place gets really busy on weekends but imagine they are used to it. read more

First time at the lodge! Local vibe, great service! We had the tuna salad sandwich on brioche (perfection) and the shrimp basket and fried pickles. I didn't love the batter on the shrimp and pickles (personal preference) but I can't wait to try some of the other items. We sat at the bar and watched the food coming out, I want to try all of it! They are expanding too, I can't wait to come back! read more

Take out tonight. Very pleasant, efficient ordering process. Food was ready on time as promised. Pick up order at bar. Reasonable prices for Chicken Tenders and The Boat Sandwich; both very high quality. Thanks, Lodge. You're doing a terrific job. PS Brand new paved parking in front lot. read more

I sopped in on a Sunday evening for a quick bite to eat. It was my first time here visiting from out of town. The place was semi crowded and lively. I ordered the classic double cheeseburger basket with their comeback sauce on the side and potato chips... The burger was good. My only complaint is that the bun was kinda cold... It could've been heated up a bit more on the grill! The service was prompt and friendly. I would stop in again next time I'm in the area. read more

This is a fantastic little restaurant/bar. Sitting outside, I got to observe that it truly is the place the locals eat. Group after group came in who knew each other and the servers. There was a sweet community here. Also, the food was delicious, it came out super quickly. I loved the spicy blueberry chicken sammie, broasted chicken covered in sweet blueberry jam with pickled jalapeños. Yum! Also, the fries were crispy, hot and well-seasoned. The only thing keeping it from five stars is that the outside seating (where I sat because it was packed at 2pm on a Wednesday! Good job!) looked a little disheveled, with echoes of what could be a super cool outdoor area (as shown on their online pictures but not in current reality). Avery was a great server, and I will definitely come back when I'm in the area. read more

This place was excellent. Great service, ambience, and cleanliness. The food was outstanding,! Definitely recommend to come here if you're in South Haven. read more

This is the 2nd time we'd been here. The first was right after they opened and we weren't thrilled buttttttttttt there is all kinds of hype about this place so we tried again. I had the broasted chicken, side salad and slaw. The chicken was very hot so that was good but it was dry and I didn't care for the flavor. The cole slaw was mediocre at best. My husband said the burger was ok but nothing special. The food came out very hot so it had not sat under the light to keep it warm He tried my chicken and said it was dry and wasn't even as good as the Krispy Krunchy Chicken from the gas station. Our server Kelly G was EXCELLANT in fact all the employees we came in contact with were very pleasant, smiling & courteous. There were not a lot of menu items either of us were interested in. There is a lot of hype about this place but we just weren't impressed with it at all. It was very clean and pleasant inside. We've tried twice and both agreed there won't be a third time. read more

Amazing friendly service with affordable good food? What a concept... everything we had was delicious. The sauces such as the carmelized onion dip, and spicy garlic was good. Chicken sandwiches were hefty and fried pickles were a good starter. I wish they had all this back in the DMV area. Place was super chill no expensive ambiance and poshness. Def a must try in South haven. read more

Always busy! And there's a reason. Excellent food and craft drinks. Best bartender in town-say hi to LIZA when you're here!

3.5 stars surprisingly juicy tender chicken at this stop. Servers were prompt and attentive. Typical bar food but much better than any other bar I've been to. Happily surprised. Fries were a little salty but still pretty good. read more

I've been a couple times with my wife who loves the vegetarian smash burger. I've tried a couple things but this last trip they offered a Walleye fish basket and it was great. I wish it was always on the menu but was told it's a special for Lent. read more

The Lodge - Walleye lunch special for Lent - American Near Me - South Haven, Michigan

We just got back from spending the evening in South Haven. We saved The Lodge until my best friend came for 2 days. It was extremely hot and muggy so we chose to wait for an inside table and eat inside. It is a very casual local place. Nothing fancy but is always very packed. My husband and our friend got the chicken tendies basket. They loved the broasted chicken. It was sooo good. My BFF and I got the smash burgers. We were both very disappointed. They were very over cooked and dry and tasteless. She ordered the mushroom swiss burger and asked for extra cheese. You needed to use a magnifying glass to find either topping. The bottom line is that we just ordered wrong. I would order the chicken if there an you will be happy. Burgers are not their thing. Also it was very loud in there. I would only go if you were up for that. read more

I would think a place like this would have some perch or walleye entrees. Nope. Wait staff was friendly, but the menu is pretty boring.

We really enjoyed our first visit to The Lodge for a Saturday lunch and will definitely return when in the area again! Service was friendly and helpful with suggestions. We opted for the deviled eggs starter followed by the broasted chicken 'tendy' basket and the classic smash burger. Everything tasted great, but I can't recommend the broasted chicken 'tendies' enough; my mouth waters just thinking about them along with their amazing honey mustard dipping sauce! Note: As this was our first visit, and on a Saturday to boot, it was very busy and pretty loud; this is definitely a popular spot! If you're looking for a quieter experience (and easier parking), maybe try visiting at an off time. read more

We had two different appetizers. The ranch oyster crackers and the buttered garlic rolls. The rolls were a special for the day and were amazing. We had the Firebird (buffalo chicken sandwich with blue cheese), quesadilla, and the Cure (Smashburger with egg). We all enjoyed our dinners. Service was good and they kept our drinks filled. Efficient with food and help. Place is fairly open, w music, laughter and lots of locals. Recommended! read more

Oh my. First of all, I roll in at about 2:30 on a Monday and the place is busy. Good sign! I'd heard about the deviled eggs. I went with the "traditional" and was transported back to my Momma's deviled eggs. Divine. I love fried pickles and so "had" to try those. Lightly breaded so that won points and the pickles themselves? . Ate them cold the next day, still good. I got traditional chicken tenders, cause chicken is kind of their thing. Also benefited by a light breading. But let me tell you...if you love garlic, get the spicy garlic sauce and an extra to take home and put on anything else. If you like garlic, get the spicy garlic sauce. If you don't like garlic, try it anyway. Transport to heaven. The place reflects the Lodge theme, but is not overdone. The service was awesome. Absolutely no regrets at all except that I didn't come here sooner! read more

Second time here and the food and drinks were the same high quality as last time. Had the Blue Star smash burger and it was perfect - combination of blue cheese and garlic aioli was amazing. Went with a side salad as I didn't like the fries the last time. The old fashioned was good and our server Lexi was great - friendly and not overbearing. Place is a little loud indoors but it's a sports bar vibe and full of locals. read more

This place looks like so many Midwestern taverns. A lot of wood, a jukebox with 80s hits. In my mind, I said, I know this kind of place. I'm from Chicago. BUT, the Lodge is NOT like every place else. The menu rocks. We ordered appetizers and sandwiches. I loved the deviled eggs and was excited that they were on the menu. They tasted just like my Aunt Evie's ( and that's a huge compliment ). I had a BLT which was made with love (great ingredients and nicely assembled) and the broasted potatoes ( because I wanted to order SOMETHING broasted) Next time, broasted chicken. The sandwich was delicious. The potatoes were chopped small and roasted. I got so many with my order, that I shared them with my son and his lady. They tasted good, not salty at all. I think this is THE PLACE for great food, great drinks and a homey, classic-rock vibe. You won't take pictures, but you can save your cash for more photogenic locales. I was thinking it would be a great place to meet up with other family members before all going to the rental house. A great place for just drinks and appetizers, too. Prices were doggone reasonable. Really, I notice the prices and you can't beat em at the Lodge, with a capital L. read more

I was in the South Haven area. We stopped out here late for beers and some wings. Place was nice, service was fast and friendly. Nice open air feel to the dining area.....nice all the way around we will stop in again for a full dinner and update you!

I came here for a quick lunch with a coworker. Service was friendly and quick without feeling like we were actively being rushed. I tried the caramelized onion dip and the OG wrap with broasted chicken. I really liked the wrap! The onion dip was good, but I think I'd probably pass next time (I'm learning I'm a bit of an onion dip snob...). I'll definitely come back in the future! read more

I love The Lodge! I especially love the salads! The only thing I would like to see changed is the bowl the salads are served in. They tip so easily when I'm trying to cut up the vegetables and chicken! Please use a different bowl like a more flat pasta bowl. The service is ALWAYS GOOD at The Lodge! read more
