We decide to point the boat in the direction of the cove to check it out and, if they had a dock, we would stop to get a bite and beverage. We pulled up and, sure enough, they have a short term dock for dining. We wanted to eat on the boat so we were able to get our order to-go. The staff member working outside was super friendly and helpful and assisted with getting our boat docked and giving us menus and a rundown of their offerings. Our group ordered fish tacos, hot dogs, coney dogs, pretzel bites, chicken fingers and fries. Everyone reported their meals to be very good! I had the hot dog and fries and the dog was HUGE. 36 minutes off my life well spent. Ha. Cocktails weren't available to go but we still wanted to sip on some tropical beverages on the boat so they were able to make them virgin. And they were really great! Lovely experience and I really forward to visiting again and enjoying a meal on site next time!

We had wanted to sit on the rooftop to enjoy the views but it wasn't opening until 4PM so we didn't get to experience that. The clam chowder was on special so I ordered that to start with some peel and eat shrimp, cold- you can get them hot or cold and they were perfectly done and the cocktail sauce wasn't so strong that it overpowered the shrimp which was appreciated. My husband and I shared the trout basket and they were very lightly breaded, not greasy at all and well seasoned. My son ordered a cheeseburger and raved about it so much that he told our waitress on the way out that it was 5-star worthy. Note: he orders burgers everywhere we go so I trust his judgement . It was cooked how he asked- medium rare- and was thick and juicy to top it off. If you're looking for a spot with friendly service and delicious food- it's a must try in Sutton's Bay.

I started with their Seafood Chowder ($10) this is said to be loaded with Shrimp, Clams and Crab. I could identify these things individually, however taste wise it was excellent. I definitely wished the cup of it had been bigger. Price seems a little steep for portion size, but no complaints taste wise. I then ordered their Fried Chicken ($19) this had Golden-Fried Breast, Drum and Thigh with Mashed Potato and asparagus. The chicken was excellent, well seasoned and crispy, but still juicy. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were undercooked. A little harder then I prefer them to be, but edible and at least it was real potatoes. The service was great. Super cheerful and helpful. They accidentally put someone else order on my bill and they corrected it with cheer. Overall a couple minor issues, but still a solid 4 star review for me. Would I return? Absolutely!

We ordered the cheese curds and some onion rings for apps, and they came out quickly and were very good. The food got mixed reviews from everyone in our party. While the food was average or not great for some, our server was helpful and doing her best to keep up, and we all were fed and got to enjoy dinner together. There was live music out on the deck, and lots of outdoor seating (the weather was just a little cool on this day). Be aware you will get charged a credit card fee if you pay with card, and they do not split bills for groups (that part was well-communicated). There is plentiful parking in a lot which is really nice since parking in town can be tough.

His response was, verbatim: "If you owned a business, you would understand we are trying to turn tables." The place was half empty. Instead of simply saying they couldn't put the game on or that they needed the table, he escalated the situation and verbally attacked the dad in front of his kids, even calling him an "a-hole" for asking to watch the USA play in the World Cup at a bar and grill. That tells you everything you need to know about how this place treats customers. Rude, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. There are plenty of better options in Glen Arbor. Go to Art's instead -- better food, better atmosphere, and they actually seem to appreciate the people spending money in their place.
