Cabana Blue - Sunsets here are the best!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Clay Township, Michigan

Joe and Monica and staff are the best! Lobster bisque and shrimp cocktail out of this world! Prime rib was delicious as well.

I have been to Cabana Blue several times since they've opened, and the main highlights are the gorgeous lake views, live band entertainment, and their cocktails. During the night of my most recent visit, I realized that the kinks that I thought were from when they first opened, have clearly not been worked out as they've grown popularity. I really want to like this place, and I'm glad they are busy, but unfortunately their parking lot is not suffice for their volume of summer/boating traffic and the wait times for higher priced, subpar food does not make it worth the almost 40 minute drive for me. Our quoted wait time was 35 minutes, which turned into 1 hr 10 minutes. Once we were seated, I ordered the Cayla Club (my friends ordered wraps as well) and our food took over an hour to come out. Mine was supposed to come with avocado, which it did not have, and at this point our waitress hadn't come back to check on us so we had to flag someone down for our bill. I didn't even bother to ask about the avocado because we were very hungry and eating dinner at 9:30p (arrived at 7p) but for $17 for a basic wrap, I was disappointed and can't say I have plans to return for the food. Overall, this would be a spot for a before dinner drink and sit on the back terrace area on the Adirondack chairs listening to the music but be sure to pack your patience because it gets very busy. read more

What a location, what a view. They really modernized this bar and in the summer there are some great seats overlooking the bay. They have lots of parking and a long dock but it fills up fast (especially on the weekends). The food is excellent, lots of drinks choices, but the specialty drinks are small and pricey. I'd eat here again on a special occasion, it was fun read more

Great atmosphere good food and great service The drive is a little far but well worth the experience. read more

The location and view are awesome but the waitress was pretty drab and never filled our waters. I was there with a family member and we both got the fish taco dinner and it was actually very tasty and the portion size was good. I asked for a carryout container because I was bringing home about 1 1/2 tacos and the waitress brought over a carry out box the size of a fist so my taco, not even one taco, would fit in there. When I found our waitress, I asked if I could get a larger carryout container and she seemed very bothered by my request. We also got the salmon dip appetizer, and that was absolutely delicious. I got the fish broiled and the other meal had fried fish so we had that option. The fish tacos come with coleslaw on them so they're a bit messy but they were very delicious. read more

First time here and it won't be the last!!! We boated there..it was during the week, so it was not busy and very easy to tie up right outside. Great views and decor..definitely the Lake Life attitude!! The food was excellent! The brisket tacos and the hamburger was fresh, hot and very well made. We also got the trio of chips, queso, salsa and guacamole. Drinks were done right!! The service was fantastic! Everything came quickly but no rush. read more

This was our second visit, and it didn't disappoint. If you're looking for a spot with a great view, this is it absolutely beautiful! The tiki bar, outdoor patio, and lawn seating create an amazing atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient. Our food was ordered and delivered quickly. You can't go wrong with the chicken wings, Joe's Smash Burger, and fish and chips. Everything was delicious! I do wish the menu had a few more options, but overall, it was a great experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

great food, amazing service and super nice atmospher, the staff is very pleasant. Will definitely be back

The location is amazing. It's sad that the food and service suck. Just had my fourth visit and it still sucks. The food is nothing to write home about. Pretty expensive for what you get. The service isn't great either. Also full of drunk rude boater with red hats on. Do yourself a favor, stop for a drink and eat someplace else read more

Photo-documented experience is captioned and commented. Does it seem that waterside locales are overpriced and service is much to be desired? Where is the WOW? Ambiance is bright, energetic, loud with sportsbar vibes more than a relaxing tiki-cabana-island vibe. Seems more like Cheers where everyone knows your name except mine. Service and food were OK. No wow -- just standard. Would only come back on a sunnier day during summer to try the porch. read more

Too noisy; geared to less mature crowd. Food is ordinary and basically more expensive compared to the quality in other nearby places. It's a good place to take visitors from out of town for a one-time experience. A great destination in the bay for boaters who don't know where else to go. I prefer restaurants a bit farther up the river. read more

What a find! 15 min down the road- I had no idea! Met a friend for din din who suggested #CabanaBlue. It's right on Anchor Bay and even though the weather was not gr8, it was still a beautiful view on the water. They have indoor/outdoor seating, a nautical theme and the friendliest, most efficient wait staff ever! The menu is wide and varied. Lots of choices from burgers to salads to seafood...speaking of that, I noted immediately that they have an Ahi appetizer! Seeded and peppered, sides of soy sauce, wasabi and ginger- what's not to love? I ordered that with a side Caesar salad. It was incredible. My friend ordered the fish and chips; the generous order of fries are thin, with skin and crispy. Fish was crisp and breaded. More big yums! There is music on Tuesdays from 4:30-7:30. Susie is absolutely incredible doing her #CheekyTiki thing. Her choice of songs was outstanding; so much talent: singing and keyboarding! It was a huge plus to have her there. (We even got a couple dances in!) Lauren, our server, was a gem! She checked on us regularly and everything was delivered quickly and with a smile. I'll be back. Thank you all so much! read more

We really like it here and have come via land and boat. I think its important to have realistic expectations when coming to a place like this. First, it's on the water and has boat access so you can expect it to be extremely busy on weekends and holidays in the summer. You will likely have to wait for a table and your food longer than usual. We noticed that they have rolled out a weekend limited menu for summer. That menu features burgers, sandwiches, salads, chicken tenders, tacos and a few appetizers. Makes sense to keep it simple so food goes out faster. I appreciate they have a gluten free menu which includes a GF bun, GF flatbread, corn tortillas for tacos and several entrees. I really enjoyed the spicy chicken sandwich, so good. The views here are killer, so absolutely beautiful. The tiki bar, outdoor patio and lawn seating are amazing. Keep in mind the tiki bar is cash only but the inside bar takes credit card. Come as you are, we see people in bathing suits, cover ups and everything in between. Enjoy! read more

Service ok took forever to get a drink. Excellent drinks though and they were very accommodating for a large group! I loved the live band!! Perfect place being right off the water so you can get there by car or boat. I'll definitely be back sometime this summer you should give them a try! read more

Just had the best sandwich in my life. I just heard cabana blue started making sandwiches. OMG believe bike was amazing. I wasn't even hungry when I got there, but I thought I would try just a sandwich. Best sandwich ever we ended up having two sandwiches from the new sandwich shop at blue very professional Very very farm table type flavor and everything was so spot on in a beautiful day with a wonderful view, probably one of the most amazing events I've ever had an experience while eating the most amazing sandwich that I could ever dream of read more

Joe & Monica are the perfect host! Food is amazing & drinks! The Mons Arti dip is to die for!!! Absolute favorite!! Sliders are great!

If you want a beautiful place on the water, with fresh air and one of the nicest restaurant views in the Detroit Metro area, Cabana Blue is the place to go. An excellent menu with a particularly tasty food selection but nothing fancy, simply great tasting. They have the Hudson' Maurice Salad on the menu and for those who remember Hudson's restaurant the salad is the closest to Hudson's I have had in a long time. Their beer and wine selection are particularly good and the specialty bar drinks are well prepared. From the greeting at the door to service at the table they do an excellent job. Do not know what it will be like come winter and the lake freezes over but it must be beautiful. read more

Beautiful location on Lake St. Clair, refreshing open interior, nice bathrooms, huge bar with good service, however the food is mediocre and pricey. Parking can be a bitch too, especially on the crowded weekends. Many people were wearing casual beach wear, some in bathing suits, many women were clearly looking for a rich boater (hint: good luck, this is the land of muskrat men belching Pabst Blue Ribbon). Foodwise? For $19 we got chicken fingers straight from the food service frozen section, the french fries were surprisingly bad (cold & oddly stale). The $13 smash burger was very good. Go earlier for a decent summer lunch without the insane evening crowds. read more

Great location and beautiful views of the water - 5 stars in that department! Our server was pleasant and our food was served quickly. The food was very disappointing. I had the sliders and they tasted and appeared to be a prepared, pre-formed patty - grayish in color, no flavor, if I had to guess it would be the way a frozen patty would come out if cooked in the microwave. My husband had fish tacos (mahi mahi) and said they were just okay, on the bland side. It was a 45 minute drive for us - we'd do it again in a heartbeat for the views and ambiance, the food...not so much! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Their food was great, drinks even better and service was top notch. They have a beautiful view and ambience. Our server Drew was the best I could have asked for, an amazing man; even helped me locate my wallet when I lost it. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Labor Day. Few restaurants on Lake St. Clair were open. The parking lot was very full. I set my expectations to "low" as I expected the service to be overwhelmed. I was wrong. Fully staffed. Short wait. Attentive and speedy bar and table service. Whoever is running this operation knows the business. Adam was a terrific server. Good anticipation and teamwork by the staff. The chicken wings were very plump and served with the sauces on the side, as requested. The pulled pork and Cuban sandwiches were both excellent. Hot food, very hot. Cold beverages, very cold. Will I return? Yes! read more

The most amazing view of any restaurant on lake st Clair.. sunsets never disappoint! Owners are always there checking in on everyone! carolann and Mark (AKA Captain Cook') read more

Service and ambiance were great! My smash burger was really good but the fries were either old or overcooked. It was hard to tell but something was off about them even though they looked good. I had the Cabana blue drink that was really good. I would go again but try onion rings next time. My friends fries were not good either. read more

This place is so pretty and a cool ambiance. It's so sad that the food is terrible and they brought it out to us just minutes after ordering it. Food was cold and fish was frozen and then re heated. Really bad food. I recommend you come for a drink/appetizer only. Avoid the entrees. Not worth the price read more

The view takes you on vacation - we all agreed it is time to pay more attention to the quality of the food and hold off on adding to the grounds. finding many waterfront restaurants are counting on the location rather than the food. so sad read more

This place is awesome and so unique. They are constantly expanding and coming up with new ideas to expand. The brisquet tacos are amazing! The owners have done a fabulous job of creating an awesome experience. They have just extended their patio again to accommodate a band and dancing by the water. Or how about a yoga and mimosa class while looking at the lake..This is my new favorite place to eat and have fun. read more

My wife and I took our 4 kids to Cabana Blue for lunch on July 4th. The service was excellent. Food and cocktails tasted great and came to the table faster than expected for a busy restaurant. The new concrete looks great along the canal and patio too. Each year we see the upgrades and reinvestment by the owner. We will be back for sure! Highly recommend. Finally great atmosphere and great view! read more

Drinks way too expensive. The flatbread tasted like a frozen pizza just awful barely cooked. Could be better menu especially for a place on the water could use more seafood options. read more

Good view! Food was bland and there was no sauce on the pizza! Drinks are wayyy to expensive

The food is standard bar food and nothing amazing but always good. We go to this restaurant for the atmosphere and view. read more

Joe and Monica are fantastic hosts!!! Cabana Blue Rocks!!! Best view on Lake St. Clair!! The staff is awesome!!!

A few of us went here for drinks and appetizers for my friend's birthday. It was a beautiful evening and we were able to get a seat on the patio on a Thursday without a wait. We got the trio dip and nachos. They were out of the meat (I can't remember) that originally came w the nachos so they substituted it with brisket and they were AMAZING, so so good. But the best part was the Beach Bum drink. I have been thinking about this drink ever since and want to go back just for the Beach Bum! Great place and great views. read more

Food was great and so was the service. I'd definitely come back! The place was packed on the Juneteenth Holiday, despite the overcast weather. read more

Gotta check it out! Best view on the lake! Food is awesome, Kayla Club is the best. Service rocks!!

My husband and I tried Cabana Blue for the first time on our date night and could not have been more impressed! We arrived on a Monday at about 6 PM and there was no wait at all, despite the parking lot being packed. We were promptly seated outside (we requested to sit outside) and had the most beautiful view. The weather was perfect; we had sunshine and a breeze on the beautiful lake. My husband and I ordered drinks and ordered our own entrees and salads. He chose the chicken tenders with fries and a side salad while I had the BBQ chicken flatbread and a side Caesar salad. We both thoroughly enjoyed our salads (my husband commented that the ranch dressing was AMAZING) and entrees. Service was fantastic. Our waitress was quick, thorough, and wonderful. The staff promptly cleaned our table each time that we had something ready to be removed from the table. Staff were very friendly. A table seated close to us had a large party, which the staff were very accommodating to. We could not have picked a better restaurant for our date night and I highly recommend Cabana Blue. read more

A beautiful view, upbeat vibe. Eat before you go there...flat bread doughy, fries were tough, wing weren't too bad.

We had the day off and decided to grab some lunch out by the water. The weather was perfect for sitting outside. Cabana blue is only about 30 min from my house and I have been wanting to check it out for quite some time. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful view. It was hopping for a Friday afternoon but the service was very efficient. We had a few drinks and enjoyed ourselves. We came for lunch but only ended up drinking haha. Well some days that's how we do it. Overall it was a wonderful afternoon and a very enjoyable experience! No doubt we will come back. It's the perfect summer spot! read more
