Enjoyed dinner here last night with friends. The atmosphere is very casual, the food superb. The drinks were a bit on the strong side but good. The service was incredible. Our server was so personable and attentive but not overly so. She made our evening better. I would highly recommend this location to anyone looking for good food, great service. Definitely coming back. read more

Friendly staff and the food is always very good. Their chips and onion dip - fantastic!

Place was packed! Bartender "wally" was very rude. Waitress was amazing. Both burgers were overcooked, the "Blue gill" dinner was clearly perch, clearly. Steak was served in red wine "sauce" that tasted bad, potatoes and veggies swimming in wine. Brisket dinner was good but French fries were hard. Service was good. It was too hot in this place for summer, a mini split would help, and the tap beer could be a few degrees colder. Not worth the price. This isnt a real chef. Not serving food like this. Not horrible, just not worth the hype and price. Owner seemed friendly and worked the restaurant. Def a dive bar. read more

Jack... He's the best! Great chef in the kitchen! Food is awesome! Staff is amazing and attentive!

Food is amazing for the value, the servers are entertaining and friendly. And the ambience is unique to say the least.

Went with 2 friends . Had pastrami ( house made) sandwich couldn't wait to eat it. However loaded with mustard and Pickles. Hardly could taste the pastrami. I was Very disappointed Service was great my friend got lake Blue Gills other had fried rice brisket. Excellent . I'll try it again but order without mustard and pickles. Ask for it on the side. read more

Tujax Tavern - Blue gill dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Delton, Michigan

Best food in the world and fabulous people to talk to and the best service in the whole world

The food was amazing and a bit unexpected given it was a small tavern. Incredible. Menu had lots of great options.

We tried Tujax based on a recommendation from a friend. Her recommendation "Do not let the outside disturb you. It is a hole in the wall with an award-winning chef." This is a perfect description...the ambiance is dated but food was fabulous! My husband ordered a burger which he described as fantastic, and I ordered one of the specials, Shrimp Pad Thai. The fries were out of this world (I snagged a few off my hubby's plate). The drinks were good as well. My husband ordered an Old Fashioned and loved it and I ordered a Moscow Mule which was very good! We will definitely be back! read more

Tujax Tavern - Pad Thai - Barbeque Near Me - Delton, Michigan

We were out and about in the area for Arts and Eats! We ate at Tujax a couple years ago, but honestly, it is a bit out of the way for us. Now, we are saying, SHOOOEE! What were we thinking?! It is SO worth the journey! Firstly, the gal behind the bar, Patty. Greeted us with a huge smile of welcome, and "glad you are here!" You know how you just WANT to be someplace from the get go?! Patty made one feel that way. After looking I g a the beers on tap, Patty assured me(as did the woman sitting next to me!) that what I REALLY wanted was her famous blueberry Moscow mule. Oh, my goodness. She was MORE than right! Cool, refreshing, and so full of blueberry goodness...mmm! Ran was happy with his Founders All Day IPA. Next, was choosing from the SEVERAL amazing menu choices. We mulled over the specials. Do you know TuJax's has an award winning chef on staff?! I looked about the rather dated, but endearing decor. It is all part of the small town allure. - and, usually the BEST food to be found! As we pondered, the gentleman behind the counter offered to help with our selection by tossing the quarter in his pocket. I inquired as to how many sides it had?! He laughed, then told us to get the Rueben. It was the best! We were not disappointed! The corn beef was house braised to perfection. Served on rye bread with sauerkraut and homemade 1000 island dressing...even the hand cut fries were a perfect match! Believe us, TuJax is as close as you deem to make it! It's worth the trip! read more

This is the hidden gem. We first ordered off the specials menu but the next time the regular menu . The food is good however the staff makes everyone feel welcome. It could feel like a place that could exclude outsiders but far from it! Also pick up some baked goods for home read more

We arrived at about 7pm on a Sunday and the waitress warned us that they closed at 8pm for future reference. Was a bit confused at l as it was shortly before seven but whatever. So we felt rushed making it order. However shortly thereafter she came over and apologized she thought we l it was 8pm rather than 7. That made sense. My friend ordered a dirty martini when she was pleased with. I just ordered an iced tea. After looking at the menu we both decided in the walleye. Or food came rather quickly. The whole meal was hot and delicious. The walleye was perfectly done. The friend Rice was the highlight of the meal. It was a longrain rice with peas and carrots and and amazing seasoning . As a side it has shorting vegetables including squash, carrots and turnips. The whole meal was tasty. The waitress was friendly, chucked on us often but not to much. No room for dessert although they sounded amazing. I suggest if you are looking for a road trip you venture out to Delton that you try this little bar with the amazing high end food. By looking at the place you would never thing they had three, yes three culinary trained chefs. Be sure to check it out. read more

Great food,good service hadn't been in a while will definitely go again. Liked the ambiance and the fact it's close to home

Great bar and diner. Bacon cheese burger and the blue gill sandwich are both very good! Cheap drinks also!

A staple of Delton, this "hole in the wall" will surprise You with their fantastic dinner menu along with your "bar" food, burgers and Pizza that is sure to impress. read more

This is the place to go for elevated bar food! In a time when restaurants are moving toward pre-made ingredients, Tujax is making their own bread, smoking their own meat, and cutting their own fries, and you can taste the difference. Very friendly staff and rotating specials. Everything was delicious and we'll be back. read more

A friend from "across the pond" was here so we decided to pop in to Tujax Tavern. The bar tender was fun and the service was prompt/quick. The food was so incredible we stopped again the same week! Enjoy; it's well worth it! read more

Amazing food for the price! Friendly staff and the Wally bomb is the best drink ever. The Chef specials are a must have an always delicious! Save room for dessert because they are off the chain good! It's our favorite place to enjoy a great meal! read more

Walleye was excellent with the rice. Good size portions and great service. Owner very involved in service.

Awful, I got the brisket and fried rice. The rice was alright. Not great but not awful. The brisket on the other hand was terrible. There was no meat. It was all fat. Fat fat fat. Awful. I will never eat here again. It was horrible. read more

Always the best and if you say any different start your own and let me know when to show up. They really try to produce a good product for a small town with the menu and they're always friendly. read more

Staying in Delton for the week and didn't feel like cooking, so popped into Tujax. The food was delicious so believe the reviews! We had salads with homemade ranch dressing and homemade croutons, and the blue gill with fries and the potato salad. Everything is fresh and good. None of that cisco stuff at this lovely establishment. Bartender was great and friendly. Felt like home there and that's all I could want from a place. 10 out of 10 would recommend read more

Staff is super friendly and makes you feel like a local. Friday and Saturday nights menu usually has Walleye on it which is amazing. Pizzas and Burgers are good. The cook/chef has come out a couple times that we have been here to see how w liked the food. Looks like a dive bar but give it a try, you will likely be surprised! Wish they would experiment with some other fish items like blue gill, grouper, salmon, etc. betting the chef could create another great option. read more

We saw an ad for this place and went for dinner on a whim. We had passed by many times and never, ever considered going in: mistake! Sure, they have a typical "bar food" menu - burgers, sandwiches, fried food, pizza - all of which looked good, but the special menu was the star. Good mussels are hard to find in Michigan, but their PEIs were great, very meaty and tender. The white wine broth was good, although a bit salty, but the (homemade) bread served with it was excellent. We also ordered the shrimp and scallop cakes, which were good, but a bit overwhelmed by the salsa served with them. Both of us ordered the walleye, lightly breaded and pan fried. It was a little dry, but tasted fresh, and I loved the tartar sauce, which I'm sure was homemade. The accompanying rice pilaf was very nice, and the side vegie mix was wonderful! What a treat to find a bar chef who knows how to slice and cook vegies. We will be back to this unique place, which attracts all kinds. Don't be turned off by the building. Service is friendly and prompt. The food is worth it. read more

Great food and service!! We wanted a bar burger and nothing was open in Hastings so we headed to Tujax! We are glad we did. The burgers were excellent and the fries were fresh and crispy. We will go back! read more

Great food and wonderful service. We have never had a bad meal there. I like the changes to the menu too

We called to ask about the brisket. Was it fatty and was told no so that was ordered for me. My friend got another item that was good. The brisket was perhaps 50-75% fat. Very little edible meat. I have had plenty of lean brisket in Colorado that was incredibly tasty. The Tujax brisket was not worth buying. The next morning I was able to get more meat from the rejected portions to give a little to the dogs. Only counting this meat for the dogs would I allow the fat percentage to drop to 50%. read more

Great bar food and cocktails! The service was great and the waitress was hysterically full of sass! Tooooo fun.

Excellent food and menu options. Something for everyone. The service was amazing as well.

The food is fantastic. The staff goes above and beyond! It's the perfect hometown restaurant and bar. What I love is the chef continues to make unique delicious options. read more

This place has an excellent chef Tues-Sat! Go in-person. The only reason for three stars is twice this week I wanted a delicious pizza from Tujax. I called 8 times over an hour from 5-6 PM from two different phones, and let it ring over 15 times. Noone answered. I tried to order online and their FB/website doesn't seem to take orders. It was Saturday the first time, so I wrote it off to a busy night and got pizza elsewhere. Then Monday I tried the phone again, SO MANY TIMES. No answer. The food is great, if you can get it. read more

Had the pizza and it was delicious. Service was excellent and the atmosphere is a clean small town bar.

We were in the area and stopped in for Sunday Brunch. Staff was incredibly friendly and Covid cautious (serving the food at the buffet). Would definitely recommend this place and we look forward to trying other things on their menu! read more

My hunger was more powerful than my photography and I have no pictures but let's see if I can come up with a thousand words. I came here expecting a decent meal off of a couple recommendations. What I got was an amazing meal! I had a handcrafted burger with swiss, cheddar, and bacon. You could taste the care that went into it absolutely amazing. One could easily compare it with 5 Guys. With my burger I chose the side of house made chips also delicious. For an appetizer I went with the mini corn dogs and was not disappointed. No burger is complete without French fries and these hand cut fries were a winner. Not quite a 1000 words but I painted the best picture I could. read more

Tujax has amazing food I come here every time I'm in Delton. The food is fresh (lettuce, cheese, French fries etc.) and the portions are huuge. Also if you love ranch please please try theirs it's to die for. Never disappoints!!!! read more
