Sometimes things don't go as planned. The staff at Lady Bird this morning was challenged by rain, two coffee machine failures, short staff, and the business of an opening weekend at the start of the summer season. Regardless, they rose to the occasion and ensured we had a delicious and graciously served brunch. I especially appreciated how the team clearly let potential diners know - as soon as they came in the door - that food would take around an hour to get to the tables of those choosing to stay. The integrity in setting realistic expectations for diners was refreshing and made me want to root for them (and not against them). I look forward to returning for another delicious meal in the future! read more

Ladybird was our first lunch stop and wow... what a way to kick things off. The vibe was spot on fun, relaxed, and just a great place to hang out. Our waitress was amazing and super friendly, which always makes a difference. But my chicken sandwich... listen... I'm convinced they gave me the whole chicken. It was massive but also SO good. Juicy, flavorful, and worth every bite. Paired with a yummy glass of wine? Perfect lunch. We will absolutely be back and next time we're coming hungry for dinner. read more

Amazing atmosphere. Our dinner was absolute perfection! We had the whipped ricotta appetizer, the salmon dinner and the lump crab cocktail. Everything was very fresh, cooked perfectly and deliciously prepared. Our server, Tom, was attentive and gave great recommendations. This is our new favorite a Saugatuck restaurant! read more

-Great HH deal 3-5PM Tuesday-Friday -Drinks were tasty (and a great value) -Food was alright - the shrimp and green beans were overly battered, but the dipping sauce was rich and flavorful -Burger was fine, nothing to write home about -Oysters were a total miss - did not taste fresh and we found a few broken shell pieces in the actual bite. Would not get even if they're only $2/oyster -Service was slow, but we weren't in any rush so it wasn't a big deal 3/5 because of the HH deal only read more

The food was SO good and the vibe was nice - upscale but not fancy/snooty. Service was just fine. I was disappointed in the cocktails for the price but the food made up for it. They don't have many large tables so expect a long wait for parties more than 4-5 read more

I'll start with the good: The cocktails were very tasty and it's an aesthetically pleasing setting. The brussel sprouts were also worth mentioning. Not so good: The menu didn't have accurate description of our food items. The salt and pepper shrimp appetizer don't say anything about being deep fried- the shrimp and the green beans are battered and fried. The beet salad didn't say anything about greens and it was 90% arugula and parsley (which my friend is allergic to) and there was only 1 tiny dollop of goat cheese and 1 small slice of grapefruit.. oh the deviled egg was awful too. $18 for a tiny sprinkle of caviar on an underwhelming deviled egg on a plate of cream. Nothing besides the brussel sprouts had any good flavor. read more

Really. F_ckin'. Good. We were PLEASANTLY surprised when we chose Lady Bird for our business lunch. Working in 12 restaurants, we notice (and yes, often nitpick) the little things. From the decor, to the menu, service, presentation, and (duh) the food, we wholeheartedly enjoyed our lunch. As a Saugatuck native, we're always happy to find a restaurant that chooses upscale and STAYS on brand. We ordered the crab cakes, tots, mac and cheese, and the chicken sandwich. All dishes tasted as good as they looked. Specifically, we'd like to compliment LB on the chicken's honey (maybe) rub that was just the right amount of sweet. Further, the tots were dynamite and even had little scattered bacon cubes in the dish. Again, great dining experience from entrance to exit. We look forward to our next Lady Bird outing! read more

We had a party of twelve to celebrate an anniversary. Dinner reservations were at 5:00 pm so the restaurant was not busy at the time. Dinner started out well with dinner orders taken early with our appetizers coming to the table in an expeditious manner. However after about 80 minutes only half of our group had their meals and they were served in 10 minute intervals. After another 15 minutes or so, 5 more meals were served with one remaining. It wasn't until another 25 minutes the last meal was served. It was their chicken dinner and it was not fully cooked. We told one of our servers. The staff (we had several servers) were also rude with a careless attitude. One example the older male waiter was asked if they had anymore raw sugar for the ice tea, with his response being that I would need to go to Gordon's Food Service if I wanted more because he could not find anymore sugar! When the same male server came out and gave the bill to our host, he mentioned that the chicken dinner was taken off the bill. Our host mentioned that was not fully cooked. Our main waiter's reply "well at least you did not have to pay for it"!! Extremely sarcastic reply!! There 2 other inappropriate comments during our dinner as well. I realize someone can have a bad day, however leave your negative attitude at home. Also if you do not have enough waiters and kitchen staff, only allow reservations and walk-in customers that your staff can adequately serve. This is a reputable restaurant with high end prices. The owner(s) should be aware of the service and attitude of his his employee if they intend to remain in a very competitive business! Date 5/30/26 is provided for owner to relate who his staff is. We also ate in the back patio of the restaurant. BW read more

Came here mid-week in the summer and it was fairly quiet. We were all huddled at the tables in the middle of the restaurant. Food and drinks were interesting, vibe was quiet, location was convenient to our accommodation. read more

I spend almost every weekend in the summer with family in Saugatuck and weekends in the off season. One of my favorite restaurants. The food is always great and I love the change up of the menu with each season. I have not had a bad dish here. Cocktails are also always delish. Great spot for any meal brunch, lunch or dinner. 10/10 happy hour too. :) read more

We've been to both Bird Dog and Dog & The Bank. We know the quality of these restaurants and know what to expect when we go to either one of those places. I think we had high hopes for Lady Bird? I couldn't tell what was happening. It wasn't overly busy. Everyone wasn't running around like there weren't enough people on the floor to help out. The hostess was very nice. Our server was nice but disorganized/distracted? We ordered our appetizer of deep fried olives as soon as I sat down. We weren't totally ready to order so we figured she would give us a few minutes. Approximately 30 minutes later our olives arrived and THEN she took our order(!). I ordered the swordfish and my husband ordered the chicken and BLT salad. Another 45-50 minutes later...no food, no salad and our server was no where to be found? We finally had to get going and got up to pay for the olives and be on our way. The table behind us looked like they were ready to leave as well without getting their food. I would love to say they were simply packed to the gills with people, but it didn't seem like it. Not sure what could've been done to expedite the food? Maybe they were short handed in the kitchen? I'm not sure. We are happy to wait for excellent food but that just seemed much too long when it just didn't seem like it should take that long. The inside was half empty! Maybe it was an off day? We may try it again sometime, or maybe not? It's really too bad. We love the other places. read more

Lady Bird - Fries olives - Salad Near Me - Saugatuck, Michigan

We first tried this restaurant a year ago. The food was fine, but the service was a disaster. It took FOREVER to get our drinks and our food. The people next to us never got their food at all. I chalked it up to them being new and decided to give them a try a year later. Well apparently nothing has changed. We were seated and after 15 minutes of not a single person stopping by our table to take a drink order or even to say they would be by in a few minutes, we cut our losses and left. We were definitely not interested in a repeated of our last visit. We won't give them a third try - there are so many other good places to eat in the area. read more

Very cute house turned restaurant. Service was pretty slow. Ordered the crispy olives - fantastic! The aioli that was served with the olives is amazing. Had my heart set on the swordfish, but they ran out. Ordered the Butcher's Cut instead. It was just okay. Would have liked the steak to be grilled. The potatoes were good. The herb salad was uninspiring. From where I was sitting I could see everything coming out of the kitchen. They push out a lot of smash burgers. In hindsight, I should have ordered that. read more

We went to Lady Bird for the deep-fried olives. We stayed for the incredible food and the light bright atmosphere. The cocktails were refreshing, the food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Ladybird, which is a house turned restaurant is a great little find at the corner of Griffith and Mason. If you're looking for good, relax, dining this is the place for you. read more

This is NOT a nearly 5 star restaurant. We came here for lunch on Tuesday, June 4. Please note, although the Yelp description prominently mentions breakfast and brunch, the restaurant does not open until 11 AM and has absolutely no breakfast items on its menu. We had the chicken sandwich, the lobster roll, soup, lunch salad, and tater tots. The tots were way too hot and spicy. The chicken sandwich was very disheveled looking. The lobster roll was listed on the menu as costing $32, which seemed high enough, but was $34 on the bill. And it was kinda meh. Service was OK. Decor is nice. My guess is the food might be better at dinner, but at $100 (including tip) for lunch for 4, they would have to do a lot lot better to earn the scores others have given. I will not hurry back, and a rating of 3 is about right. read more

Celebrating Christmas Brunch with our Adorable Grandchildren and Family! We chose Ladybird for Sunday Brunch and it was the absolute perfect decision! Something for everyone! The decor is beautiful every detail! It is off season in West Michigan. Which should be your reason to visit as the decor in Saugatuck is in point. Oh and did I mention lady bird has a Rental apartment. What could be more perfect for a little Holiday Shopping and self care. The food was absolutely crazy, creative and swoon worthy! Drinks. Coffees. And beyond. Escape the holiday hustle and treat yourself! read more

Fantastic restaurant in Saugatuck! I literally can't stop thinking about the halibut with pea mash -- I'm debating whether I should call them for the recipe! The Mac and cheese was very good. The shaved Brussels salad was also very refreshing on a warm day. We sat inside in the dining room, but there was also a bright bar area and a few tables outside. Our server was very friendly and the food was quick. All in all, very happy to welcome Ladybird to downtown Saugatuck! read more

1. Get a real digital reservation system. Pay the extra money. Phones calls from hyperventilating high school girls don't cut it. Wait times are way too long. 2.) Fire your cooks. They aren't chefs. Worst meal of my life. Sent food back. Seemed normal to staff. 3.) Rock Shrimp is fried oil trash. Pasta was pure gloopy gross AF. Further investigation on what you think a chop salad is would be good. Cause what you are serving is not it. The cost for this meal is atrocious. read more

Pros: Our party of 6 was able to get seated right away on a Saturday night. When our food finally came, it tasted great. Cons: It took about 40+ minutes for our appetizers to come out and then another 30+ minutes for our entrees. It was almost hysterical how long we waited. The service was fine, nothing to write home about. We were seated inside and it was extremely noisy. The menu and food were good but maybe not the ideal restaurant for a busy Friday/Saturday night. read more

I'll be brief. Awesome food, staff and ambiance. A must try while in Saugatuck. Highly recommended !!!!!

It was excellent, we did not have a reservation so it was the bar for us. Corey the bartender was excellent, he was calm and attentive. The Brussels sprouts, beet salad and Mac and cheese were great to start. We had the pear martinis that were nothing short of perfect. The kitchen is a bit slow , it took over an hour for dinner to come, perhaps it's already on off season mode ? We ordered the swordfish and the chicken both which were excellent. Great meal , great staff and perfect atmosphere even if a bit slow. read more

Really great experience! Tom was our server, he was super cool and friendly. Great drink options. The cheesy potato's were very good!

Not impressed. Bartender was not at all attentive.... to us at least. She kept talking with another couple at the bar when we had empty drinks for a long time... twice. Then went on on her phone while we tried to get her attention. Kinda crazy considering each drink would have increased her tip alone. Idk. Food was ok but over priced. Similar prices to Every Day People Cafe but nowhere near as good. Oysters we tough to eat, still attached, outsides were not rinsed so each bite included a side of sand. My wife said she thought she was eating barnacles. lol. Ambience was very nice though. Too many other good choices in Saugatuck and Douglas to waste another try on this one unfortunately. :( read more

I've gone twice now. The food is 5 star, drinks 4 star, service 1st visit did not dazzle. I went back because the food is so good. 2nd visit the service was better, friendly server.

If you read this review - order the blackened snapper. You will come back and thank me later. One of the best meals I have ever had the privilege to taste. The others at my table tried it and were speechless. The place is also super cute and has great cocktails. 10/10 would come back. read more
