    Nutty Salad - $15
    Brent L.

    Don't let the name fool you. This is NOT your father's bar and grill! The place is dark, but not too dark. It's a very cozy place with red vinyl booths. The staff are outstanding. Very knowledgeable about the menu, and very friendly. The food is creative and quite tasty. We shared the Portobello mushroom fries - they were perfectly cooked and JUICY! I suggest not using the mustard sauce on them. It overwhelms the natural seasoning. We also shared the Nutty Salad - do yourself a favor and go with the recommended apple walnut dressing that was made specifically for this salad. You can't go wrong! They have a handful of beers on tap and a full bar. Check this place out if you are in the area.

    Food was so tasty, we were very full. The service was good. Interior is bar like, good amount of space. We had Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo and it was excellent. Not too spicy. We had Goat Cheese Croquettes. They were amazing! Super filling for an appetizer really, really enjoyed. We also had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The potato wedges were crispy and the sandwich was very stacked. We really enjoyed this restaurant.

    Another great option in the area!! Mix of locals and visitors. Old style pub with bar tables and lower tables near the back. There is outdoor seating. Has nice vibes and good music playing. We had a ham and cheese sandwich with a very yummy bun, chicken sandwich had great flavors, salad with avocado and garlic vinaigrette topped with steak that was nicely seasoned, and fish tacos with flakey fish and slaw. We had an order of homemade salsa and tortillas- those were a nice treat and great texture. Service was fine. It was busy but they managed and we felt like the food came out in a timely fashion. All of it was very affordable for four meals and where can you get $3 PBR on tap! Recommended!

    So salty it hurt going down. I told the waitress it was salty and her reaction was "yes" .

    We sat at the bar - good tip if it is packed since the bar is first come first served! The bartender was very friendly and the food came out quickly. The perch sandwich was very tasty and the animal crackers were a fun treat! Extensive drink menu too. We recommend it!

    More than you'd expect. From the outside and upon initially entering I expected nothing more than local pub grub. But the menu was creative with lots of "higher end" options. Ordered the best ribs I'd had in some time.

    Previously we had great experiences here so I'm disappointed in our last visit. It was a very odd experience and it totally changed our opinion of Phil's. A group of friends, twelve of us in total, had spent the day together in Saugatuck. We had planned to eat at Phil's, and we finished our shopping and ended up in front of Phil's about 20 minutes before they opened. So we waited in front of the restaurant, just talking and waiting for them to open. At 4:00 pm the hostess opened the door, and our group was the first to enter the restaurant. The hostess met us and asked me how many were in our group, and I said, "Twelve, but we are happy to split up at separate tables, how ever it works for you." The hostess immediately said, "Oh, I can't possibly seat a group that large." I stated again that we are happy to split up, we didn't need to sit at one big table. The restaurant had just opened, every table and booth was empty, and we were the only customers inside the restaurant. The hostess told us we would have to go back outside and wait as there was not room for us to wait inside. I pointed to several four tops and asked if we could sit at those tables but she insisted that we go back outside and wait. We started to head back outside but had to wait because a large group, larger than our group of twelve, was walking in the door. The hostess greeted them in a very friendly manner and tables were being pushed together so they could all sit together. The hostess told us that their large group was being seated immediately because they were expecting them. We knew that Phil's didn't accept reservations or call ahead seating in the past, so we asked if they had started accepting reservations. She said, "Oh, they didn't have a reservation, but they "prearranged" for their large group. In hindsight, we should have just left but we were looking forward to dining at Phil's so we waited outside until the hostess said we could be seated. The food was good as always but the service wasn't the same as usual. The episode with the hostess was very strange. Probably won't be returning anytime soon.

    Great burgers, definitely try the portobello fries. Really nice wait staff and bartenders, welcoming feel inside. Will be coming back whenever in Saugatuck

    We stopped in for a quick bite while visiting Saugatuk over a long weekend. So glad we did! The place was packed to the gills! We were told by friends who live nearby that it's always packed. Even with that, we only waited about 10 minutes for a table. Prewarning that the tables are packed close together and the place is LOUD. Service was great - super friendly server who seemed to juggle the crowd well. The food was excellent! I had a portabella sandwich and I'd highly recommend it. It had a really yummy mix of flavors (the goat cheese makes the sandwich, IMO). Another person in our party had the fried chicken and said it was top notch. He gave particular kudos to the homemade coleslaw. My son had a fish sandwich and he loved it! I don't think there was a crumb left on his plate. If we ever come through Saugatuck again, we will absolutely be back. Thanks, Phil's!

    Food and beverage selection was off the chart. The staff is outstanding in dealing with its popularity

    Amazing food and service. The staff were nice, but overworked so the service was a little slow. But we'll definitely be back.
