Fish 'n Chips
Sarah C.

Worth a visit! -From the moment we walked in, the vibe was on point... cozy, relaxed, and welcoming without feeling stuffy as the dinner rush came in. The cocktail menu is creative and I absolutely loved that there was a thoughtfully made mocktail option as well, for my friend :) It's nice when those feel just as intentional. My espresso martini deserves its own spotlight! Silky, bold, and perfectly balanced, it tasted like someone actually cared about the coffee and the cocktail. Not too sweet, not too boozy, it was absolute perfection! The food was fantastic across the board, with great flavors and solid portions, and the service was friendly, attentive, and never rushed. Overall, it was one of those spots that just gets it right- great atmosphere, great drinks, great food, and great people. Everything about this place feels intentional, and it shows. The menu , the price point, and cocktail variety will certainly have you coming back!

Steak Tips
Rachel A.

I'm torn on this one and don't know that it's really a four, but the excellent service is swaying me. We were in town and stopped in for an unplanned happy hour on the patio. Great selection of appetizers for $2 off for hh. We ordered two to share, German nachos and steak tips. The nachos definitely get points for originality, and no complaints on the taste overall. That said, by preference I can't recommend. Leave nachos to any variation but German. "House bistro chips" apparently means potato chips. Would not have ordered if we knew. Steak tips...the mushrooms were incredible and the steak was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately they were ruined overall by the insane amount of salt used. Why? Literally why ruin a great meal? I LOVE salt and even I thought it was ruined, especially the spinach. 3 for food...4 for ambiance and happy hour value...5 for service. Oh! They had an NA IPA that was a nice treat. :)

Tubetti & Cheese pasta with  corned brisket.  It was a very large serving but it was good!

UPDATE: 02/25/2025 Just a brief update after having dinner tonight. * Shout out to our server Leslie. Excellent customer service and especially attentive to my wife's dietary concerns/questions (all was well.) * As I offered in my original review, I was concerned about the high, stamped metal ceilings (a) making for a very noisy dining experience and (b) winter heating (heat rises correctly?) Well, true to form, in an apparent effort to keep some heat near the floor during the last week in a Michigan February, the ceiling fans were on - full force. I have some ideas as to how to keep some heat lower WITHOUT making customers sit in the winter breeze. I will not bore the reader with those ideas here, but I think that they could help. It's more than a decent place to eat, but I think that I will stick to lunch time.

Chicken sandwich
Sarah G.

This is a solid choice if you are in Saljne. We got the chips with dip, gnocchi, and chicken sandwich sans bun. We didn't love the dip for the chips but the chips are homemade and wonderfully crisp. The entrees were very good. Our server was friendly and helpful and everything came out quickly. This restaurant fits in well with the downtown Saline vibe.

Good did! Fast service! My lemon drop was very good! Thanks for saving Sweetest Day 2024! Enjoyed ourselves!

They always close before 11 which is what their hours are. I've tried multiple times to go there before 11 and they are closed.

We had intially booked my daughters bridal shower brunch at a restaurant in Dexter, the restaurant lost power and we did not know until 24 hours before our event was supposed to happen. I reached out to Dan and his wife Sarah through FB and Dan was amazing. He had a menu to us within a half hour and absolutely catered to our Bridgerton ish, tea party theme. The room was set perfectly for us and the food was top notch, not only in appearance but absolutely delicious as well. The champagne/mimosa tower was a huge hit, my daughter loved it!! We also really appreciated Betsy, she took excellant care of everyone in our group! Dan was right there making sure everything went smoothly and Sarah checked in on us before and after the event. She even went so far as to offer to go pick up flowers for us if we needed her to. My daughter had a beautiful day and I didn't have to worry about anything, thanks to Dan, Sarah and the staff!!

It came in a ciabatta bread but it was more bread than chicken meat. My friend next to me said her fries came out cold. My husband had the double smash cheese burger and I had a bite of it but it tasted too beefy and bland did not taste like a smash burger at all. The device was good and we would like to come back and try it again. Hopefully next time we'll sit in the outdoors patio and can order something else. Also the bathroom was hot almost felt like there was ac in that part of the restaurant.

I have heard people talk about Mac's and recommend it…read more My wife has eaten there with one of her girlfriends and she has brought home leftover and they were fantastic. I can be very critical of restaurants. I have over 20 years food service experience. From the UK to the USA. I will say that every dish that was prepared for us was absolutely phenomenal! The timing of the service of the dinner was very good. No long waits, and the food was served hot, the proper temperatures. We had steamed mussels with the home made bread. The pairing was excellent. My wife has never eaten alligator and she surprised me by suggesting that she would like to try it. The taste was very fresh, lightly battered and spiced to perfection. My wife does not like spicy food, but she enjoyed it. We next tried the soups. She had the Mariners chowder and I had the gumbo. I have lived in Southern Mississippi, and I will say that the gumbo is by far one of the best that I have ever had. The Mariners chowder was also very good, but the gumbo was exceptional. For our entree my wife had the Lobster roll and 1 had the Jambalaya. The Lobster roll came on a grilled roll and the lobster stuffing was very fresh tasting. The Jambalaya was spicy the way it should be. The serving size was abundant. For dessert we had key lime pie and cheese cake with a strawberry. Both were very very good. The wait staff were very friendly and answered any questions that we had about the menu. I highly recommend Mac's for any of those special occasions or to just go out and have a good meal with you family.

The little bread chunks were very good. The Caesar salad and salmon was good. On the other hand my fish and chips left a lot to be desired. It came with two pieces of fish, a little ramican of coleslaw and french fries, in what my wife described as a cute little basket. The fish was almost chocolate brown. You couldn't even stab your fork into it. Now I've eaten here a number of times in the past. But never have I had fish that well done. I had a coffee but was never ever asked if I needed a refill. At 1 point the server was standing right at my table. I was holding my cup, which was over half empty, and they never asked if I wanted to refill. The bill with tip came to thirty eight dollars. Maybe that's why I haven't been here in a while. I worked at Long John Silvers for 3 years, back in the 1980's. I was the manager, and if I ever seen a piece of fish came out that brown, it would have went in the garbage. If you're feeling lucky someday, go ahead and give it a try. But don't blame me.

For food, I had the lemon pepper wings and my husband had the buffalo wings. Both were perfectly cooked: crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and the sauces were spot on. Definitely some of the better wings we've had in a while. We'll definitely be going back! I've got my eye on the steak fries for next time.

While visiting my mom in Saline for a long 6 weeks we passed this place many times and finally decided to stop in one night. We were happy to find that the kitchen was still open at 9:30 on a Sunday night. We decided to split the sampler plate appetizer and wasn't disappointed. The bartender was cool, the drinks were strong and cheap, and the few locals in there were friendly. Thompson's has keno which is a big deal to me living in Vegas where you have every other kind of gambling but not keno at a bar. We came up a few Friday's later and the place was packed. They had on the Tigers game and the MSU game. Found a couple spots up at the bar, played some keno, and watched baseball. Around 10pm they started setting up for karaoke but I was tired and didn't feel like staying. I like the vibe at Thompson's and will be coming back on future trips.

We each got a sandwich with a side of potato chips, a cup of soup and the fried pickles and two sodas. It has not been that long since a meal like this would cost, at the most, around $30 here. That's why we came here so often, a few years ago. Before Covid. That's with beer instead of soda. Our recent visit with this order was $70. Just keep driving and make your way to somewhere closer to town. To say I'm heartbroken is an understatement.
