JP Waterfront - Fabulous fried pickles! - Bars Near Me - Gibraltar, Michigan

See all

We tried JP's Waterfront and it was great! The food, service and atmosphere were just what we wanted. We knew it was going to be good when we saw bone marrow as the special appetizer of the day! The salad was crunchy and fresh ingredients, the dressy thick and creamy. The bone marrow was awesome and a generous serving! The duck was cooked to perfection and my lemon sole was a very generous portion. Our waitress was very accomodating and pleasant. We chatted with the manager about how much we love bone marrow...definitely will be going here again real soon! read more

Delicious brunch, mimosa and bloody mary bar. Great service. Will definitely go again

Ordered a Reuben.. came with NO Thousand Island dressing, NO Swiss Cheese. Meat was tender and delicious however as was the sauerkraut. Sis ordered a Cheese Quesadilla, and found it to be 'mediocre' at best. Bowl of Onion soup was good, and other party member had a individual size pizza and said it was very good. First personal disappointing experience at JP's. Food usually very good. Restaurant was very clean, well lit, staff was very pleasant. read more

A little hard to find. But worth finding Great food, good service. And on the water. Will be going back.

We have been loving this place. I have taken multiple people there, everyone but my husband. So finally, we had a lunch date and to JP's we went. The pressure was on after all the bragging and raving I had done. We ate out side but though it was so hot, there was a breeze. Then the bees were terrible. Then it took forever for us to get our food. Then the onion rings that have been the best ever were so large they were hard to eat. My husband's coconut shrimp was very dark almost over cooked. Then my garlic shrimp was good and I enjoy putting it in my baked potato like usual...but the sauce was different. Not quite as good as before. So I will not give up because I have LOVED it so much. There were a couple of servers and hostess were brand new and answered questions, I don't know cause I just started. So it is still the best around! I have friends I am sending this week to eat. there and I suggested get sandwiches or the specials of the day. read more

Food is excellent. Service is excellent. Prices are competitive. It's a bar/restaurant feel hidden in a boat launch area. Live music on certain nights. read more

Nice atmosphere and food was great! The service was amazing! Great view of the water!

Quite impressed with our first visit. Nice ambience and seating, inside and out. The service was excellent, drink prices, and food price is very reasonable for the size of your portions. We had their pizza on their pizza, special day, and it was an excellent pizza. Lots of parking, great waterfront views if you want to sit outside, and the weather is conducive. read more

Why is my review gone from a year ago, I posted the very first and a dozen plus photos. Here again Enjoy. Most anticipated restaurant opening that was announced almost 2 year's ago. Largest Waterfront eating spot Downriver with 300 capacity plus 45 transiant boat slips will be booming all summer long. Yes they own the Taylor JP Mcquires location for a decade famous for the really great food and reasonable prices, note it's just the same here. Trisha our superstar waitress so friendly and gave us full 5 star service. Full menu of Steaks n Seafood with lots of Bar food. Mega delicious Wings got 12 in a bath of Sweet Chili Sauce twice as big as the chains sell. She got a most excellent Cobb Salad topped with Marinaded Chicken n the Great Ranch dressing. A order of the Canadian Poutine spot on. A Bacon Cheddar Ranch Double Patty Burger with OMG hand cut n Battered Onion Rings Wonderful full pound Burger we shared. A super special multi Cheese Mac topped with Bacon absolutely fantastic. YES we had two boxes of leftovers. Just a few tables on Patio for drinking only or wait for a table, only took ten minutes for ours. Such a enjoyable view of the waterfront, a must visit soon for all Downriver. Find them on Yelp Google n Facebook great reviews all around. #jpwaterfront #chickenwings #baconcheddarranchburger #poutine #cobbsalad #waterfrontdining #downriverfriendseat #motorcitymunchers read more

JP watering is always busy! They usually have live music on the deck which is fun. There is usually a wait, but you can make online reservations or join the waitlist from home. Food is decent, but does take a while when they are really busy. read more

We love this place. Great food at great prices. The staff is friendly and the outdoor patio is amazing in the summer.

Great environment, beautiful view, live music, friendly staff, and wide selection of food and drinks

Always a great meal at a reasonable price with friendly amazing service. Highly recommend it.

I visit JP Waterfront at least once a week and the food is always absolutely delicious...every single item on the menu!! Have always had great service as well! Shout out to Lucy and Amber who are top notch servers!! read more

Great new place downriver. Fantastic location and the huge deck rocks every weekend in the summer. Get there early. Food is very good and a terrific value. Must try the pretzel appetizer. Onion rings are also top notch. Be ready for a huge order. If you order this as a side, you probably won't finish your meal. Service can be a little suspect, but they are always running and doing their best. Can't knock them for that. read more

Food amazing delicious! Service they actually smile and are nice ! Ambiance nothing compares on the Detroit River . This is a hidden gem for a wonderful dinner on the beautiful waterfront read more

I'll start by saying the food I've had has been amazing! I've been a couple times with my dad and sat at the bar and I really loved the staff and atmosphere all around, great drinks too. My dad goes almost weekly now, probably known as the guy with the R8, and I can't wait to return and sit outdoors finally where you're siting right off the lake and have a gorgeous view! My only complaint is I've ordered carry out 3 times from here and every time my order was messed up. I live super close down the street and have a busy 2 year old so eating out isn't always worth the effort lol but I still want a good meal I don't have to cook after working all day. Their fish and chips is the BEST around town I've had. The last time I ordered it carry out though my side salad was completely left out and I asked for extra tartar sauce and instead got no tartar sauce... unfortunately my bf picked it up and doesn't check before leaving. I never called to complain because I was a waitress all through college and can never bring myself to complain. I understand they were busy and perhaps just bad luck happening to me multiple times. Dining in I've had no issues! I will still return but likely won't order carry out again, or at least will check bag closely. I'm thankful for such a neat place to open up on the water near me! read more

JP Waterfront - First time ordering the fish, amazing. - Bars Near Me - Gibraltar, Michigan

Had the Walleye with hush puppies and onion rings. Fantastic all around. Maybe the best onion rings of my career. The atmosphere is excellent and the location is great. Everyone in our party really enjoyed their meals. Definitely recommend. read more

Great views patio and staff. We have been there both weekday and weekend early evening. He weekend wasn't bad just busy. They had a band it was a little too loud but enjoy the entertainment. The food & drinks are delicious. Prices are reasonable. The time wait for food was a little too long on the weekend, but expected with the volume of orders. So I suggest order an appetizer if you are hungry right away with your drinks. Love the location and will be going back. read more

Wow. JP's is so nice. Beautiful setting, great service, great food and drinks. Right on the river with lots of seating inside and out. We had the walleye fried and grilled. Both great. Homemade chips were also great. Great mixed drinks at in $6. Had the man overboard and did not disappoint. Will definitely be back. read more

We stopped by boat going to Canada enjoyed it so much we stopped back on a Sunday morning on our way back for their Amazing Sunday Brunch! Worth going out of your way. Menu has lots of great options, bar service was spot on and their wait staff did a great job with very busy restaurant. The view is great with seating on the water . read more

Always a good time with beautiful waterfront views. Just needs a good Lake Erie perch sandwich.

Have always had great service and great food at great prices when visiting J.P.'s I recommend to everybody and even had friends from Harrison Twp. come out to try it - they loved it, said it was 'worth the drive' and will definitely be back! A welcome addition to our waterfront and long overdue! read more

Love the atmosphere, especially the outdoor seating. Bartenders outside were friendly and make great drinks. We enjoyed the nachos (pulled pork and the lime chicken) both were delicious. Would definitely go back but during the summer be prepared to wait. read more

The food was amazing. I loved the entire place. Loved that I could see experienced the calmness of the water while enjoying my dinner

Great food and great service. They have a large menu that should satisfy almost everyone in your party

Great place, great atmosphere, and good food. We eat here often during he summer months as it is easy to boat to.

Great little spot on the water that's open year round. Went in the winter, but looking forward to going again this summer!

We did not have a good experience. It took an hour to get our food. After about 40 minutes waiting for it, the waitress came to our table and said she just checked on it and it was almost ready. Obviously that wasn't true. When we finally got it....our french fries were old and cold. My cod would've been good if it wasn't cold too. The wings looked great but were also cold and overcooked. There is no way our food had just been made. I understand it was busy but I think we were forgotten about because the outside area was so busy. We sat for an hour watching the tables around us getting food, their waitresses checking on them and receiving great service. We won't be going back. read more

I really like this location but if they have live music, avoid it. It's so loud the staff is visibly disturbed. You can't hear who your sitting with and the staff can't hear your order. Tonight even the manager turned down the musicians at least twice after surveying the dining area and outside seating. The musicians kept turning their sound back up. read more

Food and service are great. But.... they do not answer the phone. They tell you to go to their website. Not good if you think you left something behind. Had to drive for a 1/2 hr back to see if my jacket was there. A restaurant should have someone answering their phone. The message says they don't take reservations. First come first served. Email any questions. Hope they fix that. Not a good business model. read more

My new favorite place to go! Love the atmosphere! We arrived and had 1 1/2 he wait- no problem, they have an outside sitting area with drinks and a food truck to get you started. Seated at exactly the quoted time. Food was yummy and the view of the river was great! Will definitely be back!! read more

Been there twice and twice there were people using vape sticks. This time it was a table of 4 seated right next to us. Asked the manager and several wait staff to do something about it. And they all stated it was ok. Even though it is against the law. Place does not care about its customers and will not be returning there again! read more

Outdoors watching boats, food, staff all amazing. Great spot to have drinks with friends/family.

Food is great. We always have a great time there. They have great Reuben sandwiches and excellent pizza. The onion rings are huge and soooo good! I highly recommend ! read more

The food was amazing and I love the perch it's was perfect cook and I felt the crunch when I took bite it the perch. My favorite food is perch and fry pickles. This place is serious game food and drinks. I recommended this place and I'm coming back this place again for food and drinks read more

Seven of us stopped in for dinner tonight (Wednesday) and got on the waitlist for outdoor dinning. Very nice atmosphere and we hung out by the bar while waiting. The bar staff did a good job and the drinks were reasonably priced. A large section of the outdoor dinning was closed. I assume because of a lack of wait staff. I watched several smaller groups of 4 get seating before us which is understandable in the short term. It took 2 hours for us to be seated. Once seated, our waitress (Meghan) took good care of us. The food was good to excellent (but the chili was room temperature and not warm or hot.) The onion rings and breaded mushrooms are huge and enough to split by the 7 of us. The wings and french onion soup were very good. The cobb salad, perch and chips, were also very good. If it wasnt for the organizational problems with a 2 hour wait and the front desk employee (Lilly) being a little rude (blamed it on being a long day) to one in our group I would give it 4 stars. A little customer service training and creating more tables for bigger groups would go along way. Nice views and slips to pull a boat in is a plus here also. Your almost there guys and a little better managing will help. read more

Nice outdoor on the water seating food is good as well as service had music on the deck and lots of cold drinks

Food is always good when I've been. Love the outside tables which I just couldn't get enough of.
