As far as Ludington goes, you aren't going to find many hidden gems, but the Ludington Pub boasts a fair option in the Sports bar scene. The food was nothing to write home about, but will get the job done. We got a couple pizzas, burgers, and wings (your typical bar food). The waitress was very sweet and she did well for being the only one serving tables that night! read more

Decent place for lunch. Has a local bar feel. Most tables are high tops but they do have a few low tops. Asked for a cocktail menu and they had a few featured mules. Wasn't able to try one because they were out of ginger beer. Menu is mostly fried apps, burgers, pizza and a few other sandwiches. Ordered a pub burger and sweet potato fries. Pretty tasty burger, although I requested medium rare and it was not cooked to temp. Server was friendly and attentive. read more

Food is absolutely amazing. Had the PBJ burger which is a staple every time I go here. I never turn down the chance to get a peanut butter burger and theirs does not disappoint. Soft pretzels to start were a little buttery but very good. Buffalo chicken fries were PHENOMENAL. Service is very slow and you should expect to have a long meal there. Has a cool dive bar feel to it with TVs and high tops as well as tables. Overall the food is really good and never disappoints. Expect to wait a bit and the food take longer than it probably should but it's worth the wait. read more

Best olive burger and cold beer I've had in a long time. Extra friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere for meeting up with friends.

Good service and really tasty food. The southwest egg rolls are SO SO good. Burgers were good and the loaded waffle fries (w cheese and bacon) were awesome. They have keno too! read more

We have been here a few times and always enjoy it. Food is good and the wait staff is friendly and knows the menu. Drinks are good also. We heard the pizza was great, my husband tried it and didn't care for it but he said he would try it again. Please give it a try you will enjoy it! read more

Great food and friendly employees...they just don't have enough of them to handle summer crowds. We just waited over an hour for a burger and some apps. There was no designated bartender, so servers had to go back and make their own drinks ( I actually think the bartender may have been acting as a server, as there was only one waitress). This is the second time we've been in there under the same circumstances. Watched the cook take a drag from something while cooking, also. They also need to up the a/c! read more

Good choice if your looking for Good Food and a 'Local Bar Feel'. The Carnival Club is highly recommended if your really hungry. Carnival Club read more

We've now been here twice when we were in town. Both times we really enjoyed the burgers. This visit we had fried pickles and pretzel sticks for appetizers and both were delicious. I had the burger with jalapeño and cheddar Jack...I would definitely get it again! Kids had the pizza they seemed to enjoy it as well. read more

Got off the SS Badger and needed dinner before hitting the road! This place was great! Although all tables full, the 2 ladies, took such great care of us. The kitchen was backed up, but our meals were perfect! Michelle was our server and was a bright star in our already lovely day! Patti & Tom. Traveling back to Central Pennsylvania read more

Very nicely updated and a good menu since I visited many years ago. Good food and service at very good prices. I'd go back.

Great service- staff is always friendly and prompt. Supreme pizza is really good. The pub pizza is fantastic! Love the generous toppings and the thin crust read more

Fast, friendly service. Went on Sunday early evening at live music started at 6pm. The food was pretty darn good. We had the pretzels and fried pickles to share as starters. The fried pickles are in French fry form. Perfectly coated and crispy. The pretzels were buttery and soft. Would recommend both! Not anything special about the burger or chicken strips according to the others with whom I was dining. The nachos on the other hand were excellent! Fresh lettuce, tomato, and onions. Great tasting ground beef. The half size was more than enough for a normal appetite. It was our first time in the area. I'd definitely check out other spots if in the area again before committing to this one, but not disappointed with our visit. read more

Great local bar vibe. bartender was tens bar as well as serving and did a fabulous job of balancing both. Menu options were great. We had the burgers and they were amazing! would definitely recommend! read more

Stopped in for lunch. Had the Buffalo chicken fries for starters. Highly recommend. Crispy chicken and the buffalo sauce was perfect blend of heat and flavor. The cheeseburger was a delicious flame cooked patty stuck between a pretzel bun. Staff was pleasant and helpful. And the craft root beer that they have is a solid 8/10. Highly recommended to anyone in the area looking for a bite to eat. read more

This is the loudest bar/grill I've ever been too. We waited a over 45 minutes before we got our food. The servers were extremely nice and helpful. The boneless wings were way overcooked and chewy. We ordered the pretzel bites with the beer cheese on the plus side some of the best ive ever tasted. Overall I wouldnt recommend coming here. read more

Unless your a local you will not get service. Nice menu specialize in burgers don't know how good finally walked out tired of waiting to order read more

I usually like to come here for classic grilled cheese comfort food and fries (it really is the best). We went in at 1:45 and it was packed (which is great because it's usually quiet when we go on a Saturday lunch). There was a large party and the only open table was dirty. We stood for over five minutes with no acknowledgement from the bartender/waitress or cook. Another large group walked in behind us so I went up to the bar and finally got the bartender's attention to have the table cleared. We sat down but she showed no hurry to come and clear. We finally left. On a rainy Labor Day Weekend, it was so surprising and disappointing. We might return in the fall when town isn't busy. read more

Went for lunch and we all were very pleasantly surprised with our food. The hamburgers were delicious - the Frankie Martin burger was fabulous - had avocado and bacon and ranch sauce. The sweet potato fries were nummy. The spicy juicy was delicious and the chicken sandwich was tasty. Everyone was happy with their food and the service was right ON!!! read more

Pretty mediocre wings -over fried . perch was also over cooked. Good place if you just want a beer and want to watch a game on TV. Not a first choice for dining. read more

We had the best pizza and service. We thought the pizza was the best around and we have tried many places. The Pub Special Pizza was amazing. The burgers and fried pickle chips were delicious. Fair prices. We highly recommend giving them a try. We are looking forward to our next visit. A must on places to check out. Gary & Brenda read more

Decides to try Ludington Pub while my husband and I were in town looking for a place with good food, wi-fi, and cocktails to enjoy a day in ludington and get some work done at the same time. We weren't expecting the best staff at lunch on a Tuesday, but we expected friendliness, and found none. We are easy and enthusiastic customers as long time bar owners and servers. We were ignored for several minutes when we walked in, and then treated like more of an annoyance than a welcome guests when our server finally came to our table, even though we were one of only two tables. She argued with us and spoke belittlingly about menu items when we asked what came on them even though the menu had only titles for those items. When we asked for our sandwiches with the toppings we like we got looked at like we had asked for toppings from outer space instead of pickles and onions and asked 3 times if we were sure. When food was delivered it was thrown onto the table from a distance with a bad attitude and the server left before we could ask for condiments, etc. Every single item we were served was overcooked. The bacon on my burger was so burnt it was a black, unrecognizable dust that just tasted like ash. My burger was dry and cooked almost beyond recognition, and my husbands chicken was as hard as a hockey puck. We fed 90% of the food to our dogs as we couldn't eat it and shuddered to think what would happen had we sent it back. When we ordered a screwdriver a second server told us, in his EXACT words: "I don't know how to make that you have to order something else." A completely unacceptable answer no matter what the cocktail request, but in response to one of the most simple and common cocktails in existence? Baffling. AND THEN HE STILL FORGOT TO DELIVER IT AFTER I TAUGHT HIM HOW TO MAKE IT. We were so offended that we left and drove to our favorite establishment on the lake all the way in Baldwin, 45 mins away, to finish our work rather than deal with such rude service. Will never return or recommend. read more

Tried it for the first time while visiting Ludington. We had great service from a great waitress. The fried pickles, burgers and fries were very good! Very happy! read more

From out of town and wanted to try a small type pub/eatery.

The staff greeted us promptly and checked on us through out our stay. Food was great and portions were fine. Had a good time and would go back again and recommend. read more

Unfortunately this is going to be a bad review for the bartender by the name of Adam. We are locals and have been coming in since they opened. The last few times we have come in Adam has been the bartender,. I have been a bar manager and this young man has no business being behind a bar. He doesn't smile, he doesn't greet his customers, doesn't remember what his customers are drinking. He disappears for minutes when things need to be done. The only reason we go back is because they have great music on Sundays...Chad Rushing being the best! I doubt that this review will do anything but... read more

Had the Club and a Perch sandwich. Both of us thought our food was very well prepared and had excellent taste. The staff was great. Be good or be gone.......and it was good. read more

A little drive north and stopped for lunch. Great service, great food and atmosphere. You can't go wrong with a good bar burger. The waffle fries are yummy too! Glad we found this small local bar. read more

Love this place, it's our Cheers. We are regulars. Live music Saturday and Sunday! Best burger and steak in town reasonably priced

Mozzarella sticks, Perch sandwich, Classic Chicken Salad, and Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwich came to our table. Everything was very good. Very nice place to eat for lunch. Too bad the patio is for smoking and not seated for dining. Would have been nice to sit outside. Other: Easy to find location, has a kid menu, and the Bloody Mary comes with bacon in it! I'd come back and eat here for sure. read more

Visited the Ludington Pub while on vacation in town and it was a great experience. The beer was cold, the burgers were fresh and delicious, and the wait staff was friendly and accommodating to our two small kids. Will definitely be back here next time we are in town! read more

We came here as out-of-towers and enjoyed our meal/drinks. I got the grilled cheese, he got the burger. We shared the fried pickles and sweet potato fries. We had fast, friendly service. The food was delicious. There was even some live music going on. read more

Decent burgers not enough help! No Mustard evidently doesn't translate. And there is more mustard than anything else on the burger. Had to go back for the drink I ordered. read more

We have been here several times over the last 15 months during Covid and back now that things are opening and it is extremely busy! They were one in a few that stayed open!!! The staff at this establishment is amazing! One man kitchen show is crazy along with one or two servers who are running around to make sure everyone gets what they need! Appreciate their "can do" attitude! What I did not appreciate was some of the patrons being rude as it was really busy and may take a bit for things! I never mind waiting when staff are trying their best! Made me super sad to see tears from staff from unkind words! Please be patient my friends...be glad they showed up to serve you and BE KIND!!! Burgers and wraps were awesome!!! read more

Got drinks and dinner and was not impressed by the service. Snarky and short when we tried to order... beer was flat and food was cold (when it finally came out). Our server was disinterested and distracted. Food was quickly made and took a long time to come out...Wouldn't not go back. read more

Very dirty restaurant and the area where they cook was disgusting with food all over the floor and smeared on the counter where the food was being prepared. They had one waitress, one bartender, and one cook for the entire place on a Saturday night. We should've known there was a problem when we had to wait over 10 minutes for the poor waitress to even acknowledge us. While waiting over 45 minutes for our food to arrive we saw three tables of people walk in, sit down and after 10 or so minutes walk out and leave. While waiting forever to pay (our waitress had suddenly switched roles from waitressing to manning the grill), I approached the bar to ask for our check. While standing at the bar I saw where our food was prepared and how dirty it was. Most troubling of all of the food was cooked touching each other (raw chicken next to raw beef patty) on one tiny grill. So risky for contamination. The food was also extremely greasy. Needless to say we will not be returning and would recommend to give this place a "swerve!" read more

I went fishing in Michigan on lake Hamlin with a buddy of mine from the Chicago area. While staying in a cabin up there, we did a lot of our own cooking, but did venture out for dinner on 3 different occasions. The town does shut down early during the week which required us to drive all over town for a bite to eat. Lucky we found this place. It was a homey type small bar, nicely decorated with interesting paintings on the walls. Some locals were playing music and singing when we arrived. It had a very nice atmosphere. There was one person behind the bar and another at the grill, which was also behind the bar. The smell of freshly cooked burgers filled the air. If you were not hungry when you walked in it wouldn't be long before you began craving a bite or two or three etc... The wings and burgers we're coming out non-stop until closing time. My buddy and I had burgers and fries with a cold beer. Sometimes there is nothing better than a pub burger. This hot off-the-grill burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion was oozing juice down my hands as I tried to get my mouth around it. Be sure to ask for plenty of napkins, as this will be required - trust me! This was a 5 star burger. While we both have hearty appetites, I was unable to finish it. My buddy finished his though. However, it was on our last day in town that we found this place or we would have returned for another. The bar customers and staff were very friendly, and made us feel at home right away. read more

Friendly Service- Good Food We were there over the 4th of July week- and this was our first place to go grab a beer once we got settled into our Motel. When we arrived, the place was empty - but within a 1/2 hour it was packed! We sat at the bar and the bartender was so nice and friendly- we really enjoyed it and decided to grab a burger! The guy cooks right there behind the bar and it was the best burger I had from a bar in a long time! When you ask for pickles on your burger- you don't expect a stack of tiny pickles all over! It was quite yummy! We actually wanted to buy a T-Shirt- but the place got so busy we didn't get a chance. I would highly recommend a stop here- great friendly bar! read more

Excellent place to stop in for a bite to eat. 50 cent wings are a hard deal to beat and were delicious. Burgers weren't amazing but still a solid burger. There was also live music when I went. read more
