It was a cold and rainy Sunday after late morning service The restaurant was warm and cozy inside it had a nice fireplace with a cozy warm fire.we were greeted then given a table in a close to empty dining room. After studying the menu I noticed that everything was kinda of expensive 5- jumbo wings $16,8oz burger $14,I ordered buffalo chicken Mac and cheese ~$16,my grandson a kids burger ~8,my daughter 5~ chicken tenders with blue cheese Coleslaw ~$15 and my wife a patty melt with siracha fries ~$15 a Diet Coke and a chocolate milk 2-waters $14 tip $90 total not as bad as I thought. Now on to the food the wings were a show stopper some of the best I ever had! Worth the money you might ask yourself. In a splurge I suppose so but I wouldn't eat them every time I go there because it's not enough for a meal it would probably be enough with fries or Mac and cheese or something.the siracha fries were awesome by the way as well all the food was really good and hot and fresh possibly because it was empty in there but we will definitely eat there again 8.1 out of 10 read more

Nice place, service was fast and friendly. She was new to the job but did very good. I had the Bluegill with potato balls, green beans and Chicken festa soup. Every was top notch, soup was excellent, Bluegill were large and cooked perfectly, the potato balls awesome and green beans were fresh. My friend ordered the massive chicken wings and they are delicious. Highly recommend eating here. read more

Fun local spot with great food, great drinks, great atmosphere for groups going out for the night!

Think twice about going to the The Creek if you have a Food Allergy. Tonight I was told they could not accommodate my need. The Creek had been a favorite until tonight. Unfortunately, after I had let the wait staff know of a food allergy and placed an order, the wait staff returned to inform me that the kitchen could not meet my need and the restaurant would only serve me a salad. When the friend I was dining with confronted the manager, the manager doubled down, then asked me if McDonald's meets my request. What an odd question! Is the Creek on par with McDonald's ? When we left the manager abruptly told us to call the owner. Unbeknownst to us, the manager was on vacation (informing us), doubled down on the why of refusing to serve me, and accused my friend who had made the call of bothering her at 8:00 at night. It would have gone a Very long way if the manager had apologized and offered to make it right. Then it wouldn't have progressed to the owner, who apparently was on vacation and we were bothering but we're also told to call. It would have been nice if the manager had apologized and offered to make it right. I'm not sure where customer service has gone, but an apology goes along way, as does an offer to correct the problem in some way. Lucky's Steakhouse gained 3 customers tonight because The Creek refused to try to accommodate a reasonable request due to a food allergy. Think twice about going here if you have a food allergy, unless you want a salad. read more

What a great find!!! The menu has a lot to offer and the items are made in house!! The mojito was excellent! Lobster Mac and Cheese and Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese was AMAZING!!! Also had calamari appetizer.... Next time saving room for dessert because the crème brûlée donut with ice cream and homemade caramel sauce sounds amazing! They were busy but the place runs like a well oiled machine and Allie B was on top of it and we always had drinks and food came out timely! DEFINITELY A PLACE TO STOP!!! Casual atmosphere but high quality food and service!! Also very clean! read more

Creek Grill - Lobster Mac and cheese... what is left! - American Near Me - Midland, Michigan

Our first visit - Absolutely Amazing food! Our table of 5 tried some of everything including Mammoth Wings, Perch, 4 cheese Mac&Cheese steaks and burgers. Portions were generous. Friendly, family atmosphere with happy children. Our Server was sweet, charming and willing to repeat the sides 6 times with a smile. It might be considered a little loud and we did have to wait quite awhile before our food arrived BUT ... the food is so delicious and homemade, I'd never take a star off! Just bring something for the kids to do while they wait. Thanks to everyone at Creek Grill, we'll be back soon! read more

If I could this place 10 stars- I would. Originally I discovered this place on a whim- I was hiking in the area and wanted a Bloody Mary. I ended up meeting the most friendly bartender, that made a top notch spicy Bloody Mary. I got some pretzel sticks to go, and went about my way. Upon getting home, the food was SO good I created a tradition of doing a hike and stopping here every early summer. The pretzel sticks.. delish. Queso.. superb. The ranch.. high quality. My husband and I ordered burgers today, and both were delicious. I actually got a Turkey burger, and it was amazing. The crown jewel? The sweet potato fries. Hands down the best I've ever had. If you're in the midland area.. a must stop. Great service. Great patio area. And romos pro tip.. they have a limited morel mushroom appetizer in late spring/early summer that is You're welcome in advance! read more

The service was good. The fried food had "a lot" of breading on it. I wanted to have the wings, but at $3.00 a piece and coming out of a smoker, I passed. I did try to buy one so I could try them, but they would not sell just one. So I'd say typical bar food. read more

Went here for the first time last night. The place was hopping for a Tuesday night! We had great service with Ally (sp) and phenomenal food. We started with morel mushrooms on garlic crostini (so good). There were 3 of us and dinner was Ribeye with mushrooms and onions, asparagus and potato balls, the Halibut special with risotto and asparagus and Perch dinner with potato balls. So yummy!!! The place was a bit noisy, but bustling with people. Will definitely come back when we're in town read more

Had dinner here with my wife on Saturday 12/27/25. The server was Allie B. This restaurant used to be one of my favorites in this area. After arriving, we were seated by a host who did not look like a host. Wore a flannel shirt without a name tag. She wasn't friendly And seriously was not anyone that I would want to be the face of my establishment. Place was half empty at about 4:30 pm on a Saturday. We waited for about 10 minutes to have a waitress come to our table. The waitress apologized for the wait and we asked her to take our order. I ordered the Maui burger and my wife ordered the Patty Melt. When the food arrived it looked OK but when trying to cut the burger in half, I couldn't believe how difficult it was cutting through it with a sharp, serrated knife. I understood why though as I tried biting into the burger and the meat was beyond tough. No flavor or juice in the meat. My wife's sandwich was the same way. I ate a few bites and could not eat anymore. I explained to the waitress that it was the toughest piece of meat I had ever eaten. She asked if I wanted anything to replace it. I said no because we didn't have time to wait for another replacement and because my wife's sandwich was tough also, It didn't inspire a lot of confidence in the "chef" getting it right. I also noticed another customer near our table who had also ordered a burger and was having similar problems with cutting and chewing the burger. I don't mind paying $15 for a burger if it tastes like a burger. When it tastes like cardboard and has the consistency of a hockey puck, no thanks. Paid full price but scratching this place off our list for good. Something has changed here, so dine at your own risk. read more

This is country dining as if I was in a movie. Service was so friendly as if we were family. Food was very good, just as if mom was in the back cooking! Could use a bit more AC to keep it cooler, but a lovely little country spot. read more

Creek Grill - Swordfish - American Near Me - Midland, Michigan

I come here pretty often. Got to say last couple of visits were disappointing. Taco Salad with chicken and few days ago. Served ice cold. Today ordered chicken cordon blue dinner. Came with no veggies as described. No gravy for mash potatoes. The chicken was burned . Server tried to make it right but my phone was getting cold waiting for the replacements. Should have took whole dinner back to kitchen and start over. read more

Cool atmosphere, salmon and sweet potato fries were incredible, burgers were good, salad dressings were good, steakhouse salad was far too chewy. Service was impeccable read more

Awesome restaurant, great drinks and food service is always friendly highly recommend trying them out

Been here twice and will definitely return. The food is good and our service was quick. First time we had salads and this time the buffalo chicken wrap and Rubin. All tasty. read more

The clam chowder is the best item on the menu with a great unique taste. It is a very loud and crowded atmosphere resembling more of a bar than a restaurant. You will not be able to talk to the person sitting next to you without raising your voice. After several visits the food never seems hot when delivered to the table. The service is ok for the most part. read more

Awesome Blue Gill! Friendly and efficient wait staff. Cod was great. Clean establishment.

Used to be my favorite walleye dinner. But prices went up and the walleye pieces shrunk, so to me it's not worth the price. Friendly staff and the food was good. read more

Great food in a quiet location. Friendly staff, fast service and great quality that won't empty your wallet.

Just stopped in for the first time as so glad we did. Our server was excellent (jenifer). She suggested the Calamari and it was excellent. My salad and my husband's calm Chowder were top notch. We will be back!! read more

Great service! Food came out quickly and was delicious. The Salmon Ceaser wrap, yummy! Mushroom Swiss burger also very good!

Great food and great service. Everything is always fresh tasting and they have a nice variety of menu items.

Really nothing special when looking from the street. Seems to have quite a low profile but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm a big fan of the Reuben and their sandwich had some of the most tender corn beef I've ever had. Service was great as well. We got our food quickly even on Sunday afternoon. Great place for sandwiches and soups, Sunday brunch and cold beer! read more

Had the lobster Mac and cheese which they are known for. Very overpriced for what was served. A bunch of Mac and cheese and a few slivers of lobster (if that's what it was). Normally satisfied with this restaurant but this meal makes me not want to go back read more

Very good food. Fair prices and excellent service! Hubby had the Reuben and I had the creek salad with a giant piece of tender, moist salmon. So good! We will be back!! read more

Best ever homemade dressings. I've not had a better balsamic. The Mac and cheese was recommended and did not disappoint. And enough for leftovers. The service was great. It is now my favorite place in Midland County. read more

Fabulous margaritas!! Need I say more!? But I will, by saying the food was great and service was very good. The restaurant is a comfortable atmosphere. Not too noisy and even being seated next to another table of four we had no issues with conversation. You can set at a table or the bar and are able to watch whatever game is on the TV's. I have a feeling parking might get crowded on busy nights but it is a big parking lot. I had the pulled pork which was very tasty. I ordered the cole slaw with it. For the record I like cole slaw (obvious since I ordered it!) but they have blue cheese slaw and it was just too blue cheesey for me. Our server was only too happy to replace it with something else (side salad with French dressing..very good). Others in our party ordered the blt - huge sandwich, plenty of toppings and good homemade chips, chimichanga - again, huge and the chips on the side with cheese were yummy, and lobster mac and cheese - good size portion, creamy and tasty. I believe the portion sizes were very adequate for the cost (sorry I don't know the total bill since our friends picked up the tab!). And did I mention the delicious margaritas? On the rocks with salt.. deliciousness! They also have a craft beer list along with wine selections. Will definitely be coming back here for the food and adult beverages! read more

great briskets, everything tasted fresh and delish. The place has a nice environment that is family friendly. read more

Got the Chicken and Mushrooms. Food was cold and chicken was so dry couldn't even eat it.

Visited Midland last night on a work trip and was pleasantly surprised by this stop for dinner. A little out of the way, but everything else was fantastic. Service was spot on and the food tasted great! The menu was huge, lots of great specials that aren't listed on Yelp! and the prices were spot on! read more

My brother, sister in law, girl friend and I had dinner there tonight. I will say that we sat at the bar waiting for a table and the gal behind the bar was very good at her job and I will say down right impressive. She really knew what she was doing. Then we got our table. My brother and I were looking forward to the sea bass that they had advertised. I will tell you it was terrible. I tried one bite and refused to eat the dried out and tough piece of fish. My brother and I Both sent the meals back. We asked to talk to the cook or chef but the waitress said they would not come out and see us. Sea Bass should have melted in my mouth but not this meal. It also was the highest priced item on the menu. Needless to say I sent the entire meal back. It was replaced with a small piece of pan fried fish. Not sure what it was but when this was served it was the fish only. None of the sides that I had ordered. Then upon asking where the sides were they were brought to me in a take out box. Needless to say the meals and the way we were treated has made me check The Creek Grill off of my list. I do not recommend them. read more

Wow!! So glad that we stopped here for dinner!!!!! We had a hard time finishing our meal. The cheeseburger was one of the best that I've ever had. The waitress was super friendly too!!! If you're ever near Midland you MUST stop here!!! read more

The igloos are fun. Great service. Food was pretty good except for the brisket platter. Obviously cooked in advance. Then reheated on the flat top. It was crunchy on the outside. Not good at all. If it's not fresh take it off the menu read more

This place is amazing! Fantastic family runs the restaurant serving up sweet and savory foods. Great location and must stop if you are in the midland area. Would give 6 stars if that was an option. read more

The service was excellent! Mike, our waiter, gave food suggestions, friendly and very attentive. The teriyaki salmon was absolutely delicious. Substituted broccoli for the rice and it was cooked to perfection! Passing through and picked a winner! read more

Great idea to add igloos and expand seating in groups. However, we waiting longer than 15 minutes for the heat to be turned on and 20 minutes for service to get drink orders started. This is always a great place to eat, but I'd recommend avoiding peak times as there doesn't seem to be adequate staffing. The igloo was warm and great once we had heat it's a unique experience. read more

We tried this yesterday, wanted to leave a review. Stopped on a hot day, cold beer, we ordered a ribeye and the salmon. Both were very good, veggies were fresh and cooked well. Seasoning on everything was on point. Service was awesome, place was about 75% full at 4pm on a Saturday. Timing between the appetizer, salad, entree was perfect.

This establishment, in the Midland suburb of Bullock Creek, is easy to overlook -- looks like a typical small- town bar on the main drag. But it has an extensive and ambitious menu -- on the day we visited the day' s specials included several dishes featuring home- smoked brisket, a Cajun spiced shrimp and crayfish scampi and pistachio- encrusted red snapper. There are also at least a half dozen specialty burgers, an assortment of steaks, other entrees and a special seasonal menu as well. Diverse patronage -- everyone from executives in ties to well drillers to retirees -- which tells me the food is going to be better than average. First the good news: Our lunches ( brisket quesadillas and the Cajun scampi) were delicious. The scampi was flavorful, chock-full of seafood and pleasantly nippy without overpowering heat-- my only complaint was that the pasta portion could have been reduced by at least half; way out of proportion. My partner' s brisket quesadillas were also outstanding -- butter-tender, nicely smoked brisket, a pop of bleu cheese. Now the bad news: Our service was terrible. I think we managed to coax maybe a half- dozen sentences out of our sullen waitperson, who sometimes said nothing at all to us as she came around. We also had to put up with the cook periodically coming out of the kitchen to silently stare at us for minutes at a time. We are two rotund, graying grandmothers; nothing to see here, dude; go away. It felt like we' d been walked into one of those TV crime dramas where unsuspecting tourists wander into a seemingly benign small town, but soon regret it. Bottom line: If you aspire to an outstanding menu that draws people into your establishment from around the area, your staff needs to be up to the task. Four stars for the food, one for service. read more
