My wife and I were visiting Bay City for the first time and needed a late night meal. Being a…read moreSunday night the kitchen was closing at 10pm and even though we only had three minutes to order, our waiter Pat, just told us he would get the order in. Although they were fairly busy the food came out in 10 minutes. We ordered fried mushrooms, they were the usual you get anywhere but for the price, it was above average in quantity! I love salads so I ordered a side salad thinking it would be small and a start to my meal, it was huge for a side salad. I was full after my salad and a few mushrooms. The grilled cheese and crinkle fries were tasty and portion size was way more than expected for the price. Now to the best meal of all...the Monte Cristo was AMAZING paired with sweet potato fries!!! My wife ordered this and I have never had it so I tried a bite, WOW! Portion sizes compared to price were outstanding! I can't say enough good about my experience. They are located right next to the river so be sure to walk over and take in the water.

You'd think you were in a pub in Chicago, despite the fact that this is in a tiny village in the middle of nowhere.

Not perfect (for instance, they use ground beef in the Irish stew) but really respectable. We also tried five of the ten drinks on their speciality menu. Everything was quite good.

Old school Irish pub which has served Saginaw's heart for many decades. All of Saginaw's best have…read moremade their way through this bar at some point. If this bar was located in Chicago as is, it would be a popular every night stop. Here, it's effing dead during our midweek stop. The only eye candy was the bar maiden which was years younger than me, but with the dim light and sleepy appearance I really couldn't make out much. Booze can be a bit pricey, but not more than a chain restaurant. They have some very fine beer taps, clean lines so the beer taste is brisk. Many of their drafts and bottles are Irish reminiscent. Think of an older Irish pub, dark woods, dimly lit, the old smell of cigar smoke, pennant flags of coats of armor hanging from the ceiling. Dark tiled ceiling, rustic lamps and paintings, while the bar maiden had said they have a pretty good college following on college night, I'm believing their clientele more that most customers belong to the late thirty's and older plus crowd. I'm told that one could easily find an older cougar on the prowl or older well to do daddy looking for skullduggerous actions. Their men's room is a shanty and should be set a blaze. Pulling up to the stall I was to use my manhood to swat away like a swashbuckler at the hordes of fruit flies coming to attack thee. At least twenty or more, disgusting; the urinal has a permanent urine stain. The toilet stall was no better, here resided just a handful of fruit flies, but from the smell and look of the water, I'd say at least a few other men had pissed and not flushed before me. YUCKY, I hate the hair raising feeling of a filthy washroom. You have to imagine that others have sat on that toilet, poor fellow.. to sit and then find fruit flies flying up your ass. Terrible. Other then that bullshit, with the right band or banging DJ, you could be JUMPING around to some banging beats and having a great time. Parking is limited to the street and there are some local parking lots. I'm not sure about the neighborhood, it may have once thrived but is now lethargic.

The food is just okay but if you are a Trump Supporter BEWARE. The owner walks from table to table threatening all Trump Supporters that he will kick them out. He told me he wants to kill President Trump.... hang him high! He came back to my table 3 times to discuss how he hated President Trump... I will never go back. He was very rude and obnoxious. read more

The food was great, I had the bacon/beef burger it was great, my wife had the pulled pork over waffle fries appetizer (can't remember the name) very good, the couple we were with had the perch and VNO bobs both said they were very good. Arianna was our server and was very attentive even though they seemed to be under staffed. The owner even came by our table at the end of the night and introduced himself. Only reason not 5 stars, there really wasn't a hostess stationed anywhere to seat us when we arrived and we just kind of stood there until a server walked by and we asked him what we could do to get a table. All in all it was very good and we will be back. Went back on 7/22/17, still a crap shoot with the hostess, we just wandered around until we found someone that worked there. Family got the wings, they were great and big (jumbo). The buffalo sauce has a little kick to it, my wife (who doesn't like hot) went through about 4 pepsi's while eating about 6 of them.

I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich. Grilled breast topped with Frank's hot sauce on a pretzel bun. Proabably should have shelled out a buck to top it with bleu cheese, or at least some swiss. I got onion rings on the side ($2 upcharge--very reasonable compared to many restaurants), and they were very good. Crispy but not overcooked, not so heavily battered that the onion disappeared. The breast on the sandwich was huge--would make two meals for most people. And while I appreciate the generosity, a hunk of meat that large takes away from the pleasure of the meal. I don't enjoy fighting to keep the meat between the pieces of the bun between each bite, The breast and the bun were a bit dry. That said, the service as impeccable. Two people were working the bar, where I sat, and they regularly checked in to see if I needed anything, and we discussed the beers on offer a bit. I probably shouldn't write the place off based on a single sandwich. The Cabin is just interesting enough that I will probably stop back.

It doesn't look like much from the outside - something like a hole in the wall bar - but inside it's roomy, and everything looks like it was recently updated. One nice touch is that you are right on Lake Huron: get a table near the window so you can admire nature's beauty while you eat. The prices are extremely reasonable, and best of all the food is very good. The 1/3 pound burger was beefy and tasty. I asked for Swiss, and I was told that they accidentally put American cheese on it, so they put Swiss on top of it, no extra charge. Nice. The onion rings don't look like anything special, But they're tasty and crispy. The waitress told us at the grilled chicken sandwich is the only thing on the menu that isn't fried or a burger. My wife got that, and it was good, but not nearly as good as the burger. Alicia was the bartender and also our server. It was slow when we came in, so she spent time talking to us. This made for a perfect experience here: great food, great prices, and great company. We will seriously drive out of our way to come back here again.
