    Carrot cake we shared for my Birthday.
    Marnie N.

    Very popular place, many people from the surrounding lakes. We made reservations and still were seated at a high top by the bar so they don't plan very well on their seating. The salad was nothing special. I had the prime rib which was tender but lacked flavor and had quite a bit of fat in the 13 oz. cut. my smashed potatoes were mashed potatoes. My father liked his dish of the Walleye and would order that again. We ended by sharing some carrot cake which is their signature desert. The frosting was spot on but the cake was a sheet cake and nothing special. It was good but i would not wait 30-60 minutes to be seated to eat here. Nice people but food was average.

    We made a reservation for 2 at 5:30, got there a bit early and sat at the bar, and were seated by 5:20 ish. The service was very fast and the food was delicious! The outdoor seating area has plastic wrapped around it and heaters inside (it was March) so it still felt like you were sitting on the river, but it wasn't cold. I will be going back for sure.

    Shrimp Basket.  This is what I got for 19.49 Smh, I'm convinced people money grow on trees and they don't mind

    This is what I got for $19.49 Are you serious? Not recommended, rip off. Visiting my family , they never even eaten here before but the place and reviews were pretty good so we decided to try. There is no way I would ever recommend this place. Are those even shrimp? How many fries did I get 10? The coleslaw was the only thing portioned correctly. Upon reading the reviews I noticed Jay walkers only comment on the good reviews. This is sad.

    Beautiful setting on the river. Casual, cosy and clean. I had a burger and fries. My cousin had a chicken caesar salad. Both were very good. Decent beer list. Attentive, friendly service.

    Fabulous service. Great food. Ribs, frog legs, shrimp. The river provides the ambiance. Love watching the ice float down the river.

    Food is good and the service was excellent. Plus, the view of the river made for an excellent way to spend dinner with family.

We dined upstairs (Pub on lower level) and had some excellent food. The Garlic Breaded Cheese Curds are amazing (cubed cheese) and recommend either/or Marinara and Ranch. The Pretzel was also very good, but the standout was the bar cheese sauce, which appears more of a creamy fondue than straight cheese wiz and was very flavorful. Main dishes were the Pollock Fish Basket with Fries, Chicken Quesadilla with Lime Rice and the Steak Bites App with a side of Broccoli. Everything was very good,l and the food was hot and service super fast. Staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and dining right on the lake is always a plus. Plus we didn't have a wait arriving at 6:30ish on a Saturday evening. Bent Prop Pub earned a five star review due to its food, ambiance, staff and being a nice little gem of a restaurant and pub tucked away in a sleepy section of the Eastern shore of Coldwater Lake. Would definitely go back when we are back up in the area.

The food was good! For our appetizer, We got the Prop Bites (Cheese Curds) they were good but quite salty. My husband and I both got the Grouper strips. They were really good. The breading was a little thicker than we like but it was good, as were their chips and coleslaw. Anna was great! The service was very quick! We had our apps within 5 minutes! Our meals came shortly after! Our server was very attentive too!
