Some friends and I wandered in to Gull Landing for dinner because I saw they offered an all-u-can-eat cod dinner, which I really wanted to try and, I was NOT disappointed. Crispy and tasty cod fillets, served with fries, tartar sauce and cole slaw, although I was not too fond of the slaw. It's wasn't bad, and I can definitely say I've had worse, it just wasn't very flavorful. The layout of the restaurant is kind of different, like an 'L' shape, and there aren't that many tables indoors, but I think it is due to the majority of their business is the summer/warmer months and people are dining on the deck... and with that said, I would definitely enjoy dinner on the deck. Our waitress was very nice, attentive and not overbearing, although it took her a while to get to our table and the restaurant didn't seem to be very busy... but the host who sat us made sure we got our drinks and menus, so they get points for thinking on their feet and the team effort. read more

The food was correct but overpriced for what you get. Service just awful. Details I ordered pasta dish, my wife's salad. Fifteen minutes later, the server came out and said pasta isn't available for lunch. I asked if they had any non alcoholic beer. Ten minutes later the server brought me a Bud zero. Which I didn't order. I had just asked initially IF they had any. Bid zero is a sucky drink (Fetch in nearby Whitehall makes a very nice n a beer). I sent it back. Then ordered a salad with the ahi tuna. Several minutes later we got water. My wife's salad came first of course. 15 minutes later mine did. We had to ask for water refill. Then the bill came and it still had the Bud zero on it. I had to wish ten minutes to snag the server to get the bill taken care of. The server was apparently new. That's fine. We had a new server at The Deck in Muskegon the other night, but she said so right away, and was excellent. It did appear that some of the other servers were more attentive. And I note other reviews are 4-5 stars. But I have to write a re iré based on the experience that we had, which was sub par, and we would not return. read more

Stop for dinner tonight. They had a cod special. We ordered off the menu. Omg. Almost 1 hour, still no food. Most tables around us were not getting food either. Wait staff was no where to be seen. I dropped cash on the table for drinks. Hosted thanked us for coming in, I told her we were leaving since we never got our food. What a disastrous experience. I would never recommend going here. Ended up at House of Flavors before heading back to GR. Pentwater is a cute little community of fun shops. Sad to say we'll plan to eat elsewhere if we ever go back. read more

Ate at Gull Landing on multiple occasions; no question that the acorn squash is one of the best items on the menu. My wife likes the crab cakes and the Thai Peanut Pasta and I enjoyed the Whitefish Italiano with the creamy Parmesan sauce. I've also had the Cashew Walleye which was good, but not being much of a cashew aficionado, I feel the crust combined with the panko breadcrumbs was a bit heavy. Have also had the chicken sticky fingers, which was a good option when not in a seafood mood! read more

Best breakfast in town a wide variety of entrées for dinner great service great staff you can eat inside / outside. With a view of pink water lake you feel like you're in a little Cape Cod town. I was there whenever everyone was eating outside. A storm came in and the staff efficiently moved everybody indoors, and didn't miss a beat with the service. great job to the staff at the Gull. read more

I want to love this place. The food is pretty good, but the service is terrible, & the pop & water has an awful weird taste. We walked in & got sat by the politest young man who even moved the umbrella outside to block the sun, then the waitress just disappeared, the bartender came over after 15 mins and apologized. She finally showed up & brought our drinks, which didn't taste right. Idk if their fountain machine is off or what. We placed our order eventually, & it finally came. The food was pretty good- highly recommend the squash. Then we finished & once again the waitress was no where to be found. We needed to pay the bill & leave. We didn't plan on it being a 2 hour lunch. But there we were, still sitting there. They're just slow with poor service. read more

We have visited Gull Landing several times over the past 25 years we have visited Pentwater, this last visit was by far the worst. We were told it would take 45 mins to get our food bc they were low on staff. It took an hour and half to get our food after ordering. Our server never came back to refill our coffee. (We were there for breakfast) Every single one of our orders was wrong when our food came out and I am going to be honest it was disappointing. My toast wasn't even edible because they doused it was butter or grease of some kind. The only reason I gave 1 star is bc they did take one meal off our bill. We won't be returning unless they have new ownership/management. Such a shame, as this restaurant used to be so good. We've given them plenty of chances but unfortunately things keep getting worse. read more

Worst service I've ever had. Forgot our food, multiple times! didn't ask for drink refills, not friendly, food overpriced and average at best. read more

I was here with a group of 6 and everyone seemed pleased with their food, drinks, and service. We sat in the outdoor area which had plenty of tables with good distancing. The music was good, atmosphere was nice, and there were covid procedures in place. I had the chicken club sandwich which had avocado and bacon on it. I really liked the combination but the bread was a little tough. I also had with sweet potato wedges which were good. Hubby and fish and chips and he said it was just alright. Our service was good and I enjoyed the outdoor atmosphere so I'd visit her again. read more

The BEST walleye I have ever had!! Good service and can see a bit of the water! Waiter was attentive but not pushy.

We went down from Ludington with two of our best friends this evening to eat on the patio landing. Two of us had the baked chicken which was absolutely wonderful with baked potato and green beans. Sammy was our waitress who did an outstanding job of tending to us. We all rated this experience a 10 out of 10 tonite! read more

As a local, we come here frequently. So happy they decided to stay open most of the winter to give us more choices on where to eat. Food is always solid and service is good. read more

Amazing food and even better service! We had Jack as a server and he was incredibly kind and kept making sure we had what we needed, while also making us laugh! Highly recommend! read more

I called their phone number to make sure they were open and no one answered and the message said you are open every day at 9:00 am. So, we drove into town and came into the restaurant at approximately 10:15. I explained to the hostess that there are 6 of us and we would like to get bloody Mary's. We could see a bartender and two other employees setting things up in the outside deck. When asked if we could sit outside, she stated that she had to check. She came back in and said she can only seat us at a table in the restaurant. So, 6 people who were ready to give you our business walked out the door. read more

I made an account just to post this review. That's how terrible this place is. Waitress sucked. Bathroom is gross. Ordered a medium burger and 40 minutes later it came basically raw and my mother in law just pulled out a hair of her burger. Avoid this place at all costs. read more

Excellent! i especially recommend the mussels appetizer. Outdoor only, which somewhat limits good days to visit to good-weather days. Somewhat a victim of their own success, so the servers are a bit harried. Live jazz on Sundays and Wednesdays, which is both lovely and an impediment to conversation and more importantly to the ability of the servers to do their job. I don't like having to bellow at my server just to ask for a glass of water. read more

We had a great dinner sitting outside at Gull Landing last night. Our server was friendly and she promptly took our drink order, and w/in 10 minutes she took our food order. Our meals were served hot 15 minutes later. All 6 of us liked our beverages and meals-2 Whitefish dinners, Perch, Ravioli, Pasta w/Shrimp, Caesar salad, and salad w/grilled salmon. We will be back. read more

We stopped in tonight for a happy hour cocktail and appetizers. We were waited on immediately, given a choice of seats and menus. Sammie came right away to take our drink orders and recommended the hot spinach artichoke dip w pitas. Drinks came, appetizer was as good as advertised and we were very happy. The place began filling up at 5:30. This was a rainy Friday afternoon but the bar and restaurant were warm and inviting. Give this one a try soon! read more

I honestly don't know why the stars are so low on here. This is a vacation spot. Adjust your expectations on time. They are busy. With that being said, i ordered the fried cod. So fresh and crisp. Came with coleslaw. It was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the chicken club which was a bit messy. But that doesnt change my opinion on taste. It was good but my meal was better. Fries that came with were good too. For drinks we had margaritas. Not diluted with mixer. Perfect amount of tequila. read more

The food was good. My sandwich did not come with half the stuff in the description on the menu. But it was served piping hot and so were my fries. The ambiance and the service were pleasant as well. The owner, Nick, he wasn't so pleasant. He's kind of a conceited jerk who needs to work on his customer service and people skills. read more

Just ok. Our waiter was good. Food ok. Bathrooms need attention. Nice sitting on deck

It was worth the wait to get a spot outside for our party of 7. We went next door to buy fudge and try gelato samples while we waited. Everyone enjoyed the food. The sails and umbrellas outside helped with the sun. The owner, Dianna, was running the floor and checking on tables, as well as wait staff. It is clear she has a lot of pride in her restaurant and the food and service made our dinner memorable. We will be back. read more

Not very good. The water tasted terrible. You could taste the bad water in the coffee and juice we ordered. Food was just ok. Understaffed so service slow. read more

Absolutely terrible service. Didn't get our sides and of course were charged for them. Toast came out after we were done eating. Server was so rude. Made for a bad experience. Will never go back read more

Food was excellent! We got the salmon bao buns appetizer and salads and the salmon was so good! Highly recommend! Our waitress was Holly and she was so sweet and checked back on us often even though it was the Labor Day weekend and she was clearly very swamped. Definitely check it out! read more

Horribly, horribly, horribly slow service!! 15min before the owner finally came over to take our drink order. At that point a waitress came running. Waitress then proceeding to ignore us for 10-15min at a time before checking on us. Sat for over 10 min with an empty drink before the waitress finally came and asked if we needed anything. Not sure how good the food is. WE ARE STILL WAITING!!! Oh wait! The waitress just came by after almost an hour after we ordered and said the printer went down and our order just now went in. At this point, I don't care how good the food is! Don't waste your time coming here! read more

I want to compliment the owner and their waitstaff, especially the Afro-American bar manager who seemed to be in charge, for their amazing lack of customer service and conspicuously absent desire to make your customers comfortable. Especially in a community where a large number of residents and visitors are senior citizens and many of whom are likely dealing with skin cancer issues. My wife and I stopped by for dinner Sunday (8-22-21) around 4:30. The deck seating area had several customers but many open tables. The local temp was in the high 80's and the sun was simply baking down on the deck. We asked the young female waitress if we could have an umbrella set up on a table to shield us from the sun (there were a least 5 or 6 umbrellas stacked up against the wall in the corner of the bar). The Afro-American gentlemen overheard this conversation with the young waitress and immediately gave her the "forget it" gesture by waving his hand back and forth across his neck and chin. We immediately left. This is an amazing marketing strategy. Close your inside seating area forcing your customers to sit on your exposed deck and hire employees who don't give a rip about the comfort of your customers and are too lazy to take 5 minutes to set up a simple umbrella providing them shade from the blazing sun. Don't think that my wife and I will ever find a reason to return to Gull Landing! read more

Water and coffee taste like soap. Wait staff was so rude that we ended up leaving before ordering food.

The restaurant is located on Main Street. If you have lots of time to waste waiting for your food then you should go here. The prices are outrageous. A side salad with a piece of chicken was $18. Portions were very small. The place is filthy it looks like it has not been cleaned in six years. Way over priced. Go elsewhere read more

I was torn on 3 or 4 stars. First our carry out order was handed to us in a bag with the containers on their side. The food was a little messing when we opened the containers. Although our food was good, my daughter ordered the salmon boa buns and on initial inspection noticed "white" fish amongst the pinkish salmon. We phoned and was told it was haddock. Hmmm...but the menu and description say salmon and does not mention mixing with other fish. But my burger was yummy! read more

Food was okay, service was extremely slow, and wwwaayyyy overpriced. I had the perch and it was good (very deep fried, but tasted fresh). I prefer the lightly pan fried version so there was a little more breading than I like. My husband had the landing burger with cheese. The pretzel bun was good, but the fries were just okay. My 10 month old daughter got the hot dog basket with grapes, which were not seedless, so they didn't work for her. My toddler got the potato chip coated chicken fingers. They were probably the best thing we had. The best thing about this place is the view, but it definitely wasn't good enough to justify the 2 hour affair (a lifetime with kids). Also, we had to kill some bees (sorry) because they wouldn't stay away from our table. In a nutshell, we don't recommend this place for lunch. They had a decent drink menu, so it may be better for happy hour or sunset drinks. read more

The classic Rueben was disgusting. The corned beef was tough and mostly fat. Yuck! So not worth $17.

Nick and his staff are a fabulous new addition in a well known place and I can't wait to see where the future takes them. Diana did a wonderful job of establishing a place for them to take on and take forward. The food is delicious and the staff is stellar! Love sitting on the porch listening to music. read more

Food was great and service was friendly and helpful. We ate at the bar because the were so busy. Lobster cakes were super yummy as was the Thai pasta. The coconut shrimp was fantastic as well. Will definitely go back. read more

I'd honestly probably give it a 2.5 out of five. The service wasn't bad but it wasn't good either; couldn't tell if she was new and didn't know the answers to My questions or if the servers just don't really care. My guess is the latter. I'd hardly call this a beer bar, as there were maybe 5 taps total. I asked if they had any ipas, and she said the closest thing was a mango wheat?!?!? The food was decent but I ordered the beef noodle soup and got the French onion. Just the little things. The only real reason to come here is for the patio and the view. Honestly most of the food is decent at best, so I guess it's on par with the rest. read more

I ordered the walleye fillet baked in cashew breading then topped with MI cherry butter. My husband had the perch dinner. The food was delicious and we had good service also. For sides we had baked acorn squash which I highly recommend but skip the dinner salad. It was our only disappointment (wilted lettuce with a few tomatoes, and an onion ring. They could do better. read more
