    Chicken gnocchi - it was a bit soupy.
    Erica D.

    Waitstaff is very personable and fun. Food is a touch pricey vs quality and portion, but most everything is delicious. Pass on the pasta, go for seafood type dishes, and you'll be quite happy. Cocktails are well above average in design and taste!

    Apple crisp with vanilla ice cream

    Amazing service and delicious food! We came in for a later dinner around 8:30 p.m. with a group of six and were seated right away. The staff was very accommodating.

    Food and drinks was good but they didn't have my favorite dessert and I have it only once a year. I was upset about it but I will call next time to make sure it's available.

    We went here for dinner and it was delicious. I'm downtown Douglas it was a quick walk from where we were staying. We started with the wasabi ahi tuna appetizer and it was delicious. I highly recommend it. My friend got the duck two ways and I got the sea bass. The sea bass was good but the duck was great. Overall the food was good and the service was great.

    Great food and drinks! It felt like a really homey place, staff was welcoming and the vibes were there while dinning.

    Dessert:Apple and Cherry Crisp

    Last night 2 of my best friends and I went there for dinner. The place was crowded for a Thursday which was great. We waited for 30 minutes which was fine. Once we got to our table we looked at the menu. Thursday was burger night, so of course we had to get one. My friend is a vegetarian and he asked if they had an impossible burger which they did. For drinks, I had the French Pear. Made with Grey Goose Vodka, St Germaine, Sparkling Brut, and Sugared Rim. My other friend had a Grey Goose Lemon Drop and the other friend had a Dirty Martini. We all had the burgers and fries. Also, the burger and fries come with a glass of Bordeaux Wine for an extra $5. Our server was nice and friendly. And of course, we had dessert. An Apple and Cherry Crisp with whipped cream. The dessert was warm and tasty. Matt the owner came out to talk to us and we told him how great our meal was. If you are planning a trip to Douglas/Saugatuck make sure to stop by Everyday People Cafe and if you are vegetarian make sure you ask for the impossible burger.

    My husband and I came back to Saugatuck a year later & had to return here for dinner. I forgot to take pictures but the lamb meatballs with pita and feta as an appetizer was excellent. We tried the tomato Boursin soup and we both had the filet saltimbocca. All I can say is WOW. It was an amazing explosion of flavor. Anyone who comes to the Saugatuck/Douglas area needs to have dinner here at least one evening. Again the service was excellent.

    I was staying in south haven with my sisters and I'm so glad we visited the cute little town of Douglas. We loved this restaurant. We sat outside and had some amazing appetizers. The owner was friendly and came out to check on us. He recommended food and beer. The tuna app was amazing. We loved the pizza!! I'm not a lamb person but the lamb meatballs were incredible. I loved getting to sit outside and enjoy the small town vibe. Free street parking. Super friendly staff! I can't wait to come back.

    What a surprise. I knew it'd be good, but was not prepared for HOW good it was…read more Casual, laidback ambience. Easygoing, friendly, attentive staff. Incredible food that I'm Gibbs dream about for a few more nights yet. I had the walleye, my fiancée had the pot pie (called something else on the menu; I forget exactly what). She only didn't finish hers because she eats like a bird, but I finished hers even after I'd inhaled mine. I came even describe the flavors (except to say the horseradish mixed in the potato top of the pot pie is inspired!) I will just say that each bite hit the sweet, savory, and salty notes just right all at the same time. Can't forget to mention: the service was lovely. Our server was very kind, personable, and relaxed, and she offered us great recommendations, and boy am I glad I listened. I can't recommend this place enough. I hear the James Beard nominations may be snooping around, and they'd be right to.

    My friends and I came here as our last stop on our little weekend trip and it was almost our…read morebiggest mistake. When we got here, we were very confused on how to order so the takeout people told us to go to the hostess at the front of the restaurant, so we did. Then when we got to the front, they said that the patio is takeout only so we had to go back. Whatever no big deal. We go to the back and we order. One of the baristas was not nice. She was wearing a mask and had her hair cut short. She just was not nice to us. Didn't want to give us mugs or silverware because we were eating outside... umm ok??? We are waiting outside for our food and we see that one of the waitresses is taking people to be seated on the patio.... Ummmm what? I guess the other barista (her name was Anna) noticed and started bringing us silverware, ketchup, salt and pepper. Normally that would have been reserved for people dining in but she felt bad that the hostess lowkey lied to us. We ended up giving anna a tip because she was just so kind to us even tho she wasn't a waitress or anything.

    Apology: I didn't take any pictures of the food because we were hungry and it was delicious…read more We went to Phil's while in town visiting The Dunes for the Miss Gay Michigan America Pageant this weekend. Walking in we were immediately redirected because we didn't notice the please wait to be seated sign that was outside of the door. It would be nice if the sign had been a little more visible or if we had been redirected more kindly. We were sat immediately and even though I tend to hate high tops, the chairs were sturdy and comfortable. Between myself and my friends we ordered the grilled ham and cheese, the nutty salad, and the burger (with cheddar, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, mayo, ketchup, and mustard). We all loved our food and it came out quickly. I ordered my burger medium-well and it was cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive and made sure to refill our water frequently. At the end of our meal they gave us little cups of animal crackers, which was just the cutest touch! Overall loved and would totally return and recommend.

    We originally popped into Phil's Bar & Grille just for a quick drink before our dinner…read morereservation... and yeah, that plan didn't stand a chance. We grabbed seats at the bar, and the place was full of locals which honestly tells you everything you need to know right there. And not just full... but full of the nicest people. The kind of place where you feel like you belong within five minutes. Now let's talk about Jimmy... WOW. Absolute rockstar behind the bar. Not only was he making amazing drinks, but he was also doing his best to convince us to ditch our dinner reservations and stay honestly, he almost had us The drinks were so good we ended up coming back later that night for dessert... because clearly we weren't done yet. But here's the part that got me I casually mentioned it was my birthday weekend, nothing big... and the NEXT DAY while we were walking around downtown, we look up and there's my name on the marquee wishing me a happy birthday. Like... who does that?! That kind of thoughtfulness is just next level and completely made my day. Phil's isn't just a bar--it's a whole experience. Every time we walked by, it was packed, and after being there... I get it. They're doing a lot right. If you're anywhere near Saugatuck--GO. Sit at the bar, order a drink, and just enjoy it. You'll probably end up staying longer than you planned too
