It was excellent. Food and service were excellent. We are a product of the South and dont have much whitefish and walleye available. I had the walleye sticks appetizer with an order of fries and my wife had the whitefish cakes. Both were delicious. Fries were obviously hand-cut and large; also very hot. Our server was great! The best part of the meal was the BREAD STICKS! It appeared that the sticks are baked in a round pattern, like a pizza, and then cut into sticks. They were so hot, I couldn't hold them until they cooled a little bit. The accompanying spread was excellent; also marinara sauce. One could make a meal from the bread sticks. The vibe was pleasantly rustic. We decided on a booth instead of seats at the bar. Again, our server was great. The guy who brought out the bread sticks was equally good. I suppose the bread sticks are brought to the table directly from the oven. Highly recommend this place!

You cannot beat a classic, especially when it's patio season and the Summer Shandies are on tap…read more Smokin'Hubster and I popped in for lunch and had a fabulous time. We rarely sit outside but this patio beckoned and we were helpless to resist. There's even outdoor seating available if you arrive before the restaurant is open! Silas brought us menus and took drink orders right away. We enjoyed the season's first shandies while exploring the menu. His attention was perfect and we shared some laughs each time he returned to our table. Neither one of us wanted to share (I guess) so we each ordered our own appetizers. I can never get enough smoked whitefish spread... until it's ALL MINE! I enjoyed every bite and would do it again. Patrick ordered the walleye strips and he did offer me a bite (generous devil that he is). They were perfectly crisp without being heavy or greasy. If I had known that... nah, I'd still get the whitefish. We'll be back to visit The Portside and try more menu items. Who knows, maybe we'll split something next time?

Unlike the deer population, tasty Gluten Free options in da UP are rare!…read moreThe Burger Bus pumps the brakes on that - everything on their menu is listed as Gluten Free EXCEPT the buns, however, you can omit the bun OR add a GF bun for $2.50 (as of today).

Customize each burger/sandwich for ALLERGIES (bottom of the list - Gluten, Dairy, Peanut) & MODIFICATIONS (additions & omissions). Wrapped burger/sandwich sits atop loose fries, 3 ketchup packets, 2 napkins, & wood utensils if needed.

They also seemed to have some pretty interesting cocktails on the menu though we didn't get a chance to try any. Overall, laid back vibes, friendly staff, unique building.

There were no seats at the highly touted back room, with a view, so we decided to sit at the bar...excellent decision. BTW, the view at the back area is not worth getting stressed about. However, it is a great area. Our bartender was Marissa; she was great. When in Rome...we both decided to get the whitefish. Mine was just the regular seasoning and my wife got the scampi version. Both were very good. We both had one of the Vierling's brews (cant remember which one) and we both enjoyed it. Vierling also has a blueberry brew and blueberries are actually dropped into it before served. We may go back today just to try it. It was a great experience and struck up a conservation with a young local. He wrote down several recommendations for us, including Black Rock Brewery and Portside, which deserve a review. I highly recommend The Vierling and discovered they take reservations. We enjoyed sitting at the bar. Thanks Marissa!

Service was fine, the ambience was pretty cool - felt historic. We were visiting from out of town, and wanted to try the Lake Superior whitefish that this area is known for. We got the whitefish bites, onion rings, cajun whitefish sandwich, and blueberry wheat beer. The blueberry ale was refreshing but honestly I couldn't really taste the blueberry. The food seemed to be prepared well overall, and the batter was light and crispy, but the whitefish itself (both the fried and the cajun) tasted really fishy, so much so that we l couldn't really eat the cajun whitefish and had to drench the whitefish bites in malt vinegar and tartar sauce.
