Off the beaten path. I had been told the burgers were great, and they did live up to my expectations. Bridgewater is very small, if you are not familiar, and the idea that this place thrives is exciting. It has to be a destination spot. read more

Food was excellent , placed a big order for our work crew and everything was delicious and plentiful . Got the shroom n Swiss burger was tender and tasty , the full half's of mushroom was a tasty treat on this burger read more

An absolute small town gem. I wouldn't have even ventured this far out if it were for the Saline Facebook group and someone posting about their Friday AYCE fish dinners! Now, that piqued my interest! We've been twice so far and each time have had a good experience and the ice cream cake special (so that's a must have). Also, I have to respect that they know how to deep fry dang well. Their pickle chips are perfection, their onion rings, pub chips, their perch (that cornmeal crust - not a soggy bit in sight!!). It's the little things in life and Bridgewater Bank Tavern gets it right. Both times, the service has been friendly and efficient. There's also some tables outside for seating. read more

Great staff that is very attentive, great food, great location with plenty of parking!

I absolutely love eating here. The girls are so nice and they really take care of their customers. The burrito and fish is my favorite. It is within walking distance and that is a big plus. They have live music and I love listening to this. You will not be disappointed when you come eat here. read more

Love this place! Well worth the drive from Chelsea. Great food, friendly staff. Going back for Tuesday night meatloaf dinner!

Best restaurant in Bridgewater! Ok, ok...it's the only restaurant in Bridgewater, but it is a phenomenal food pub! Not pretentious. You hang with the local farmers for a no-fuss food experience. PUB CHIPS BETTER THAN FRIES The pub chips are made in-house and are phenomenal. The waffle fries aren't bad but you gotta go for those chips!!! RIB-EYE STEAK HOAGIE - OMG, super delicious! My wife ordered and I only got a bite. It was big, greasy, unhealthy and crave worthy. PERCH SPECIAL - The fish was really good and tender. There was a lot of fish too, so you won't go hungry. Good tarter sauce but ask for an extra one to be sure you have enough. BURGERS - Rated as top 5 spots for burgers across Michigan! You won't go wrong with a burger. Don't hesitate to get an egg on your beef patty. CORNED BEEF REUBEN SANDWICH - My mom's favorite. COLESLAW - I don't like coleslaw at most places but this stuff rocks! It was smooth without the normal "bite". LOADED POTATO SKINS - real potatoes with most of the innards scooped out and replaced with tons of cheese and bacon bits. These were not bad but I wouldn't order again. FAST TAKE-OUT - We ordered food as takeout and it was ready within 15 min of calling in the order! It was not a busy night as it was Tuesday of Christmas week. You probably can't always count on service that is that fast. read more

Clean restaurant and friendly staff. The food is very good and you won't be disappointed. Save some room for dessert!

Great food, wonderful staff, and an awesome ambiance. And my Dad loves the meatloaf on Tuesdays. And one of the few places the owners are out there working as hard as the rest of the staff. read more

Bridgewater Bank Tavern - Waiting for the meatloaf - Burgers Near Me - Saline, Michigan

Found this out of the way Bar /Restaurant while looking for a place to eat. We often take a cruise in our 2010 Corvette & find different places to take a break. Bridgewater Bank Tavern fit the bill perfectly! Very nice place off the beaten path, friendly staff & Great service. We chose the all-U-can eat Cod. When the food arrived it looked incredible! We will make this a regular Stop. read more

Best burger I've ever had! Fresh everything and plenty of it. The waitress was working her butt off and was still pleasant. I can recommend if you're in the area! read more

This place puts "Voted Best Tavern in Bridgewater" on their menu - so it must be good, right? :) The best part is, I don't think that there's another Tavern in Bridgewater, so by default, they are it. The place is always busy. I'd say that the $1 coneys, cheap other foods, and decent beers and prices help them out. It's tough out there... and these guys will make it just a little easier on you. The staff is friendly and hard-working, and the food is about average. My turkey noodle soup was quite salty, but otherwise had a good flavor. The corn bread was sent through the microwave, so it was a little rubbery towards the end. I think that for $1.25 I'd expect a little better. The coneys were just what you wanted them to be - especially for $1. The cheese is an extra $0.50 though - that seems a little high for just a sprinkle. I mean, that's 50% of the cost of the coney! :) Overall, decent place to hang w/ locals if you are in the area. Oh, and the bathroom is FAR nicer than expected. Usually I'm a little nervous about hitting the bathroom in places like this - but fear not, it's clean and has been remodeled in this century. Well, maybe last... but towards the end. read more

Excellent food and service. The best burgers ever , also the fish is very good. I've not had a bad thing ever. Very good specials and drinks too. read more

My wife's burger was good and cooked medium well as ordered. The goulash special which is cheese rather than sour cream based was quite good as well. Our server, who has been at the Tavern for more than 20 years was very attentive and friendly. Quaint, comfortable atmosphere for a bar setting and the music isn't too loud. The homemade chips are tasty, but were room temperature rather than warm. Coffee was made fresh, but (in my opinion as a former restaurant manager) a bit weak, and should be served with half and half (you can by room temperature stable half and half) rather than artificial creamer. Overall it was a good experience and we will likely return in the future. read more

Very good family spot and quality service and food was excellent I recommend the dessert menu on the whiteboard

Visiting my son at U of M and stumbled across this restaurant- we weren't sure how it would be when we walked in but everything was great - 2 of us ordered burgers with the chips and 1 ordered the pulled chicken sandwich. Our waitress/hostess/bartender was busy but great and the burgers were delicious!! Would for sure return - read more

Love this place! It's walking distance from my new house so it's our local go to! The fire pits are the place to be! Very nice relaxing and comfortable vibe. Hubby and I are low carb eaters so we struggle a bit with the menu--But they always accommodate really well with no bun burgers! Very nice staff! We always have a great time going out! read more

Kind of a small bar restaurant in the middle of farm country. We eat here or at least drink here a few times a month. Great owners and staff. read more

We are new residents of Ann Arbor. I wanted to see some of the countryside and take a break from unpacking. So I gratefully read reviews for places not too far away. The Bridgewater Bank seemed ideal. It was just what we needed. Friendly staff. Very good bar food. Nice people. And the bonus of Happy Hour all day the day we went. The country roads were lovely. We'll go back often. Oh dear, we returned for a second meal. The door was locked. Do we need to call ahead. Is there a family crisis? I hope all is well with this fun place. read more

Bridgewater Bank Tavern is a hidden gem. Everything we ordered (Burger, onion rings, fries, Chicken Sandwich, The Stinger) was incredible! Well worth the quick 10 mile drive from where we live. The staff was super friendly, prices were more than reasonable, and the menu has something for everyone. Huge fan, will definitely be a return diner! Thank you! read more

Best Burger in Michigan. This place is the BOMB. A little out of the way but OMG this is great food - great atmosphere - great owner/server. I will become a regular. Fresh beef - honest prices - I cannot say enough. But shhhhhh - Its now going to get real crowded! read more

Great place to eat; terrific service, good variety on the menu, and the drink menu shows good variety and forethought too. If you drink wine, make sure to try the local Saline wines. We like the Spotted Dog red. read more

Bridgewater Bank Tavern - Burgers Near Me - Saline, Michigan

Our Burger Club which has visited 30 locations around metro Detroit ranked Bridgewater excellent. We use a point basis including quality and doneness of meat versus ordered, bun, toppings, fries. Bridgewater scored high in all categories. Our service was also excellent and we found the place welcoming and friendly. It is definitely worth checking out and we will be revisiting to try other menu items Highly recommend! read more

Fish tacos terrible. So fishy tasting I believe they were old from Friday night fish fry. I then ordered chili fries. Can you imagine they cost 9.50. BlackBerry cobbler in a tall glass. Not a great way to serve it. Couldn't get to the very little bit of cobbler. Mostly ice cream. Waitress good. I would never go back. read more

This local secret boasts excellent service and top quality food typically found in downtown Ann Arbor. The beer selection is also excellent with many microbrews you wouldn't think a pub like this would have (with some, like Bell's Oberon, on tap). Now, let's review the food! What we usually got here for a long time were the burgers...flavorful, delicious, what you would expect. One day I tried their quesadilla and I've not looked back. The chicken quesadilla has huge hunks of fresh cooked chicken and just enough cheese and they'll add olives, onions or whatever else you like to them at no extra charge. The steak quesadilla is loaded with Philly cheesesteak style beef that is so delectable it's ridiculous. The salsa it comes with appears to be some sort of homemade- it's good. Maybe not homemade here, but it's fresh style (more of a pico de gallo). The sweet potato fries are pretty good, probably from frozen but here's a tip- ask for a container of mayo mixed with horseradish, then add a bit of ketchup for the sweet potato fries sauce they have at SideTrack in Ypsi's Depot town. The Reuben/corned beef is stacked with high quality corned beef with very little fat. But that does not reduce the flavor one bit! It was amazing. More review later when we've had more on their menu. I am pretty sure you could order anything and you will be pleasantly surprised. Karaoke (with a great selection!) every other Saturday night at 9 PM. Typically the kitchen closes at 9, too. So if you are from A2, get out here soon as you can! read more

The new owners of the pub are three young women entrepreneurs who were waiting tables at this tavern and when the original owner decided to retire, they decided to buy the old owner out. This pub is in the middle of nowhere and it manages to always be busy! This pub is Ann Arbor's best kept secret. Friday's fish fry is always the best with all-you-can-eat fish for just $14. There is a decent beer tap selection and a stocked liquor bar. It's a little out of the way but if you crave that small town feel and wish to talk to strangers, this is the place to be. read more

Bridgewater Bank Tavern - It's Friday...TGIF...just ordered an Oberon and waiting for a table. - Burgers Near Me - Saline, Michigan

This is our go-to burger-and bar food place! It is worth the drive out to Bridgewater. Burgers, fries, and apps are delicious! We've tried a good portion of the menu and never had a bad meal. Beer menu is smaller compared to other local establishments, but has good selections. We've never had anything less than excellent service. It's usually busy, but not difficult to get a table. It somehow manages to be a good combination of local bar vibe, but also family friendly. read more

What a joy it was to join them for dinner. Everything was as advertised and enjoyable. I will be visiting this place soon

We've driven by here countless times on the way to Michigan Speedway, and always comment "Some day, we'll have to try that place out." Well, some day finally came. The regular menu was what you would expect from a bar (e.g. burgers, limited Mexican), but there were several interesting daily specials on the chalk board. They have a good selection of beers, which along with the mixed drinks were very reasonably priced. We stuck with the menu for our entrees, and were vey happy with the resulting chimichanga and chicken sandwich. We went off the board to share a dessert, and ended up fighting over an extremely tasty bread pudding. The waitress was friendly and very attentive. We'll definitely be back. read more

The Asian grilled chicken salad was the best salad of any kind that I have ever had. The chicken was grilled to perfection, the spring lettuce was fresh tasting, and the Asian dressing was awesome and had a zing to it. Would highly recommend this place. And I am generally picky about places and not easily impressed. read more

Very good bar food. Nothing to get them a michelin star but served above average. Good service. Friendly. Friday fish is great!

We have been wanting to try this place for sometime. So last night we were trying to think of somewhere to go for dinner. We took the short drive from Tecumseh to Bridgewater. The Tavern was jam packed. We were greeted by the very attractive bartender who offered us a drink while waited for a table. We were seated shortly. i ordered a blu olive burger and my wife got the reuben. Both were great. I loved the burger it was prepared perfectly and just the right size. My wife said the reuben was one of the best she ever had. Our waitress was very attentive even though she was taking care of many other tables. This was our first visit but it wont be our last! read more

What a great neighborhood joint! I brought 7 neighborhood guys here for the Michigan game, great service, great food (WAY better burgers than Dan's or any other Saline area place) great beer and great owners. We all got our checks and one of the owners bought us all a round. We will be back over and over....get the Drummies too! read more

The best summer shandy on tap I've ever had. Freshly made real onion rings. Great waitstaff. Would visit again!

Great atmosphere! Very cozy & quiet. The Reuben was awesome! Good service, ask for Holly, she's very helpful & friendly. Definitely coming back & bringing the family! read more

Awesome establishment. Didn't eat here but was raving about how cool the establishment is to the bartender and turns out she's one of the owners! Definitely gonna make our way out here again from Stockbridge. Well worth it! read more

The food was excellent. There were some service problems however. I guess there were two new ladies in the kitchen. It took an hour and a half to get out food. The kitchen accidentally delivered one of our meals to another table. The waitress forgot things. But in fairness, they had her running to death. It was super packed and we felt really bad for her so we tipped her extra. I think I would give it another chance. It wasnt really a big deal since we didnt have anywhere else we had to be. read more

This is one of the best kept secrets in the area. Great food, great, friendly service and a nice atmosphere including (usually) about half of Bridgewater. Meatloaf sandwich is great and so are the homemade chips Worth putting on your rotation read more

So this tavern is in the quaint town of Bridgewater (Saline, MI mailing address). Yes, out in the middle of nowhere and the best drive you'll ever make. They have a great menu. To date I have never had a bad meal there. The owners are three women who know how to run a restaurant. They care about their customers. This place has a nice atmosphere and is busy, but that does not equate to slow service. If you are tired of paying high dollar for great food (this isn't your typical "bar" food), look no further. Make the drive and then give this place the 5 stars it deserves! read more
