Great place for lunch! Cute patio, excellent service from beginning to end. Made to feel welcome, greeted and seated quickly, had a great server as well that didn't miss a single beat. Burger and side salad were great. Nachos were ok. Decent size portion, priced well, chicken was bland and would be better if cooked longer. Chips were cheap/flavorless, but again, price accordingly. read more

Have been here multiple times now: - make a reservation online! They still might take a while to find you a table when you show up, but they always seem to have people waiting during the summer so a reservation is ideal. - sitting outside is much less loud/noisy. Dogs are allowed there if that's something you're looking for - drinks: wide array of beers and cocktails - food: love the spinach/artichoke dip, Brussels sprouts. Burgers and pizzas are solid options, skip the salads. Service and food is quite slow so don't come here if you're in a rush or be prepared if you have kids. Our appetizer also came out with the food which was unfortunate. Families: They do have high chairs, I didn't see an obvious changing table when I was in the restroom (but only was able to see some of the stalls). Overall a good place to get a burger / have lots of drink options and we will continue to come back. read more

We were so excited to try this restaurant when coming through Luddington off the SS Badger from Wisconsin. We showed up at 8:00 pm (9:00 closing) asked to be seated outside since it was very loud inside. The hostess said she would have to check with the kitchen to see if it was too late to order, what???? Came back and said they could seat us outside. Our waitress was really good. But the other waitress outside gave us dirty looks the whole time. So weird. We were seated at a dirty table, had to ask the waitress to wipe it down. We ordered a BLT, nachos, a Michigan salad, mac and cheese & a side salad for four people. Everything was good. My hubby ordered the Michigan salad and felt it was pretty small. Said it was ok. My nachos were good. I ordered pulled pork instead of chicken and they obliged!! I added guacamole to them. They were yummy! My brother ordered the BLT and loved it, the fries that came with it were a big hit for everyone. My SIL ate every bite of her salad and Mac & cheese. The patio was set up nicely and we liked the beautiful flowers they had planted. The patio is dog friendly! read more

I believe this is a fairly new place. We grabbed a spot at the bar. We had a few cocktails. We aren't really beer fans. To start, we had the spinach and artichoke dip which might be the best one I have ever had. It was creamy and delicious with seasoned tortilla chips to dip. We shared the jalapeño burger which wasn't too spicy but had just the right amount of heat. The fried were good too. The service was really good. The bartenders were very attentive. We'll be back next time we are in town. read more

Stumbled upon this place while exploring the town. The place is very cute and clean. They have a good selection of beer if that's your vibe (not mine, I got a whisky sour and it was good). Our hostess was nice, we were sat quickly (not during a rush). Our waitress did accidentally bring my mom the wrong order, but it was easily corrected! Parking is easy, we did street Definitely on my list to come back when I come to visit the town again read more

The good was tasty and reasonably priced. The waitress was helpful and friendly. She gave me a tasting (small sample) of the cider i was curious about. I opted for a tasting flight of 5 beers. The atmosphere is that of an active microbrew pub. the fermentation tanks are in a room off to right as you enter. To the left is a very large dining area (big enough for large groups) and the bar. read more

We stopped in to Ludington Bay Brewing for lunch while camping at Buttersville Campground recently. We were seated out on their patio, which is dog-friendly. I got a flight of beer to share with Nate - most were just okay for me. I think the coconut brown was my favorite. For lunch I ordered the turkey wrap, which comes with bagged chips. We also shared the crab rangoon pizza and the kind of a big dill pizza. I'd say it's pretty kid friendly, we had two littles in our party and they offered high chairs, booster seats, and they have a kids menu. Our food didn't take too long to come out. I really liked the wrap with fresh veggies and thickly sliced turkey. The crab rangoon pizza was pretty good but there was quite a bit of oregano on the pizza which is not my favorite. Our server was very sweet and kind! I'd stop in again in the future if in the area. read more

This was genuinely the worst dinner I've ever had, and almost every aspect of the meal was mishandled. From the server assuming I did not want to order beer in a brewery to the food. The crab Rangoon nachos were burnt, missing cream cheese entirely, the green onions were lazily cut into 1-inch chunks, and the crab itself was ice cold, fishy, and tasted like smoked lake trout. Absolutely unacceptable. The pizza was shockingly bad. It was so underbaked the crust was still white, with no browning or rise, as if the dough contained no yeast or was never proofed. I ordered a pizza with arugula and balsamic reduction, yet the kitchen baked the arugula? Until it was burnt on the tips rather than sprinkle it on top when it came out of the oven, then added cold onions on top. There was no balsamic reduction at all. The meal felt careless from start to finish. This is without a doubt the worst meal I have had in a decade. This place needs a serious overhaul in the kitchen, because what I was served should never be served to anyone, ever. The kitchen, server, and management team should be embarrassed. read more

Great beer. Good food. Friendly service and vibe. We arrived at 6pm on a Friday night and the place was pretty busy. We were able to find seats at the bar while we waited for our table. Enjoyed a couple of delicious IPAs and tasted the Blueberry Cream Ale that was delicious. We shared a garden salad and buffalo chicken burger called the Kicken Chicken that was really good. I liked the local names of all the beers. Very cool spot that supports local causes with their profits. read more

My friends from college and I stopped in for some craft beer and a bite to eat. We got a couple of flights and really enjoyed our selections.

It is definitely a place I will return to. read more

Poor quality. Food was served cold. I thought pulled pork should be served hot. Ordered my burger MEDIUM WELL. It was medium (pink.) Our waitress did take the pork back and had it put back on the grill. Again poor quality. Probably won't be back. read more

First time in Ludington for work purposes and was looking for a dinner spot/brewery. Glad I came across this place! I ordered a grilled cheese and a Caesar salad paired with a hard cider. I sat at the bar and enjoyed my food and drink in peace. I came on a Monday so it was pretty quiet but I enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a neat little brewery. I'll probably come back tomorrow too since there's not many other places similar to this in the area (at least that I'm aware of or are open). Good food, good prices, good service, good vibe. Nice place and recommend giving it a shot! read more

We recently found ourselves needing a place with WiFi to work remotely when our campground nearby didn't have good service as expected. We made our way into downtown Ludington and saw this brewery open and decided to give it a try. First of all, the atmosphere is fantastic. It's extremely clean with nice bathrooms, there's great music that's not too too loud, and a nice outdoor space if that's your thing. We were accommodated with a table near an outlet for our laptops, and the waitress was extremely pleasant and quick. (Please make sure if you're occupying a table for work like this that you order continually and tip appropriately for the time you took the table, to support both the business and your waitstaff.) We enjoyed the mead, beers, and maple spice boneless chicken wings with a side a house made ranch, and the amount of wings you get for the price is massive. Overall, we are now planning a return camping trip, just to come back to this brewery, and we recommend you check it out too. read more

Atmosphere is good. Food was really good and I enjoyed the variety of mostly different ales. Definitely worth a stop. The burger comes with chips or a French fry upgrade. I tried both and it is definitely worth it to go with the fries over the kettle chips which were a little ordinary but not bad. read more

Really nice place to eat at when in town. Friendly staff and waiters. There was no wait and asked for table outside since we wanted to bring our dog with. They are pet friendly so it worked out and they gave her a bowl as well. Started off with some fries and 10/10, super crispy, good amount of the sprinkled cheese, good amount of salt and the parsley added some nice other taste to it. Main Courses: Shrimp Tacos 5/10, the shrimp were pretty bland, there was supposed to be a kick and some flavoring to them but honestly I only got it with the first two shrimp. Corn tortillas were okay and the guacamole and salsa were also just okay. Salmon Entree 8/10, good flavoring just a typical salmon fish, broccoli was okay, rice was good. Expecting a bigger piece for the price but it's okay. Mahi Mahi Entree 9/10, good flavoring on the fish, no complaints. Broccoli was just okay as well and the rice was good Shrimp Po Boy 7/10, needed more flavoring on the actual shrimp. Wasn't expecting a ciabatta bread but it was good. Everything else was fine. Drinks- lemonade 8/10, tangelo beer 10/10 Overall just priced highly for the food. read more

Arriving for the 4th of July weekend here in Ludington, we made reservations for here on our way using Open table. When we walked in the place was busy and huge! They also had outdoor seating with live music. We ordered all the stuff in the pics shown in my review. I liked the Salmon and the asparagus that came with it. Service was very good! On the flight - I liked all their brews and I would recommend Orange Cream Ale and Summer Fling the most. read more

Nice place with very friendly people. Clean and inviting. Local beer brewed on site. A diverse but not oversized menu. Pizza, burgers, interesting starters. The Loaded Fries were a hit with the wife and teenager. Both said they were the best they'd had. The brussel sprout app is great. BUT.........The Fried Honey Chicken is a show stopper. I mean it is SPECIAL. I usually stay away from half chickens at a restaurant. More so because it is a messy endeavor in public. I took a chance for this and could not be happier that I did. Sure I needed a couple more napkins and I had to wash my hands when I was done, but so worth it. Everyone had order envy at my table. The service was terrific, BRONWYN did a fabulous job. The beer is also terrific. I had a Tangelo to start and a James Street Brown with my dinner. I suggest both. I highly recommend a meal here. read more

Service was not great, a bit uncomfortable (and not a super busy afternoon when we visited). The Michigan Cherry Salad was a surprise - larger, fresher than expected and quite good!

Loved my flight of ! Appreciated that we got a table faster than the hostess estimated. Perfect to be able to grab a beverage associated with the Ludington Social District, even though we didn't walk far... went around the corner to check out their music & cornhole tournament. Grateful to our server for warning us that pizza was taking a while. So we made different selections. We started with the pretzel sticks - yum! Especially dipped in beer cheese. Although I think one of my kiddos wasn't a big fan of the dusting of pepper on his pretzel. Nothing a finger couldn't wipe off. My Michigan salad with chicken & dried cherries was tasty. Youngest enjoyed the Mac n cheese. He liked it even better after dousing it in beer cheese. Oldest ate every last morsel of his Pulled Pork Platter and hubby enjoyed his shrimp P.O.' boy. read more

Ludington Bay Brewing is one of two brewpubs on the same street in Ludington, Michigan. We stopped here because the food looked great and we were very pleased with our food. When we arrived we were seated immediately at a table outside on the patio. We did not see our waitress for a very long time, and unfortunately, none of the other staff offered to get us a beer while we waited. It happened that our waitress was trying to check out a group that had about 10 different checks that each needed to be run. A little teamwork would have gone a long way. When it came to ordering food, we suffered from our eyes being hungrier than we could possibly eat. We started with the pretzels which were amazing. The sprinkle that they season these with is phenomenal and the beer cheese was great. For our meal with got a crab rangoon pizza which is a great creation. The cream cheese and the sweet chili sauce really set this pizza apart with the imitation crab and crispy wontons bringing in the rest of the flavor profile. We also ordered some boneless chicken wings, thinking that there would be 10 -12 in an order. Ooops, there had to be at least 20 wings in this order. We got a mix of two flavors and both were excellent. We ended up sharing with the table next to us because we hate wasting food. Unfortunately, the patio has a fly problem and there did not seem to be any effort to control it. I know this is tough, but it really was an issue that made an impact on how much we enjoyed our visit. read more

We came here for lunch on a Saturday in September with our babies and our two pups and requested seating on the back patio. The hostess brought us to a shaded/covered area which was absolutely perfect. She also had fresh water for our dogs and set out high chairs for the babes. Then our waitress came and helped by offering menu options that the babies could eat. She was very knowledgeable and knew what was in everything so we could decide if they could have it or not. I ordered the Turkey LBBC wrap and my husband got a Cheesy Bay burger. I loved my wrap, it was the perfect option for me. I was feeling something light and fresh, and this was it! His burger was also delicious! Simple, but the quality hits it on point. Would definitely recommend this place for a great atmosphere, friendly service, and tasty food! read more

Ludington Bay Brewing has a great selection of craft beers and unique food options. When we arrived at dinner time on a weeknight all the tables were taken but we found two open seats at the bar. I decided to try the Carb Rangoon pizza and my husband tried a pizza with pickles and ranch dressing on it. The bartender offered some suggestions as to beers that would pair well with both options she also let us sample them. I ended up selecting a cream ale. Both the pizza and beer were good. We recommend giving Ludington Bay Brewing a try. read more
