This place reminds me of establishments of days gone by, now frills, the fish is the star of the show. The staff are always friendly!

Not a spot for dining but if you need some fresh fish in your life this is the place to go while in…read moreMarquette. You're met with a local dressed in fishing attire and a smile, the case is filled with fresh or smoked fish/seafood, and your nostrils will be filled with the smells of seasoned whitefish and salmon. The guy behind the counter packages everything up for you like a butcher shop would. The smoked fish fillets served with crackers are fantastic for a party appetizer, the fresh fish/seafood is great for weeknight meals or whipping up a fancy dinner. Thills is versatile, local, and a staple for anyone who enjoys a fresh catch. The location is also beautiful. The fish house sits along the stunning lower harbor. Take a walk and enjoy the shoreline, stop into Thills for your supply, and don't forget to pick up a shirt to represent your new favorite fish house!

It was plenty busy for being located on top of a mountain a few miles outside of town. But it was prime leaf peeping time, so I guess there were still a lot of tourists. Unfortunately due to this set up, they are only open from spring until fall (which in the Upper Peninsula might be kind of short!) You order through one window and wait for your number to be called and pick it up at different window. Many types of fish to choose from and it's prepared pretty quick. My wife and I got the same thing, Cod. Which was pretty good, but in hindsight, one of use should have gotten the Whitefish (local) so we could have tried it. Next time? Fries (chips) were good too. Very interesting place. Worth a try!

Our server was very patient as we perused the menu and asked questions. We ended up sharing two appetizers and splitting a meal. We had breaded clams and crab rangoon. The clams were small and not as flavorful as we were hoping, but the crab rangoon was made with real crab and was delicious. We ordered a meal of breaded whitefish fillets and six breaded shrimp and each had a garden salad for our two sides. Not all the salad ingredients seemed completely crisp and fresh, but the number of veggies in it was terrific. The fish and shrimp were good, although I might choose some unbreaded options another time. There were nautical decor items throughout the restaurant. Our server was friendly and efficient.

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?
