    Burrito, a very tomato sauce if you like that.
    Larry W.

    Lately the talk of the town is Docs Sauble Inn with its NEW owner. Wife and I tried getting in on a Friday fish fry but that's not happening unless you get there right at 4. Wife and I decided to go in the middle of the week. We ordered the chicken gizzard basket, a burrito and a gyro. The food was delicious. It was hands down the best gizzards I've ate, my wife who never was a fan of gizzards sure is a fan now because they were cooked to perfection. Advice to owner going forward, keep doing exactly what your doing do not scale back on your portion sizes you serve good food and the portions aren't skimpy like many other restaurants in Manistee.. Good work see you soon!

    Food was good. Service better than the food. Ambiance was ok. A little disappointed in the perch and the wings were dry.

    Finally...a good restaurant on River Street! We're in Manistee about a dozen times a year and I'm…read moreso burnt out on not having good places to eat. If you're looking for good Mexican, skip 'Taco Bout It' (which is very generic Americanized Mexican fare) and go here instead! This place just opened in the old River Street Station location and it's now my favorite place around town. Authentic Mexican food and drink in a very cool "Day of the Dead" style atmosphere. Awesome custom murals and decorations inside. It was totally empty when we walked in at 3pm on a Wednesday (to be expected) so we got 1 on 1 service at the bar. Food was super fresh and made to order. The freshly fried taquitos with super fresh veggies were awesome, and the tequila drinks were solid. I'll go here again the first chance I get. I feel like some restaurants in Manistee think they're fancy but are just overpriced and the food isn't very good (lookin' at you Golden Stag and Blue Fish). Then you have second tier food at Taco Bout It, Fricanos and North Channel. The food at these places almost seem like the quality of "theme park food" (generic and not very fresh). This place, IMO, is a big step forward. Fresh and authentic, probably family-owned (that was the vibe I got), with a great atmosphere (they were jammin' some modern Mexican music videos on the tv over the bar, which is WAY better than places that play ESPN or some political news channel). I predict that, if they can last until summer and have a good business-minded owner, they'll be jam packed all summer long. Or at least I hope so because I want it to be here, and be thriving, each time we visit Manistee!

    Best restaurant in Manistee, hands down. A true taste of some of the vibrant and vital cultures…read morethat make northern Michigan so special. The food is authentic, unique, and absolutely delicious. The menu is large and has options for everyone! The prices are fair and the portions are large. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The deck overlooking the beautiful river has a picturesque view of historic Manistee, a nice breeze, and is conveniently right across the river from the live music pavilion!

    Everything we ordered was excellent: the salsa had a little kick and the chips were perfectly…read moresalted, the steak in the carne asada tacos was tender and came with a large side of beans, rice, guacamole, lettuce, tomato and sour cream. More than enough food for the price--can't wait to go back!

    We took carry out so I can't comment on the service, and this was a special dinner for my birthday…read moreon cinco de mayo. My kids talked me into here instead of Little Mexico because Mi Mezcal does have an extensive vegetarian menu. I'm sorry I did that. First they are pricier than Little Mexico. By about $3 to $5 per plate. But the really sore spot was the food: it was all one note and that note was SALT! There was VERY little resemblance to south of the border or Tex-Méx dishes. O ordered the combo special: chili rellenos, beef burrito, beef taco corn shell, beef tostada, and beef enchilada plus rice and beans. The batter on the chili rellenos was less eggy and more thin fish batter. The chili itself had no flavor. The red sauce? Taco Bell's red sauce is spicier! The ground beef was heavily salted with no discernible cumin or chili powder. Even the beans and rice were bland! By the time the food got home ALL THE CORN TORTILLA items were VERY soggy and no crisp to them at all! I've ordered from other Mexican restaurants in Mt. Pleasant and Cadillac and never had this issue! I would recommend saving a couple of bucks and heading to Little Mexico's locations for a better and more authentic Mexican experience!
