    Cowboy Burger with Onion Rings
    Ian N.

    Cowboy Burger (3/5): Pretty good burger, I just didn't like the flavor of the A1 sauce (my fault for not reading the menu carefully). The patty was thick and juicy, and the bacon was nicely crusted with black pepper. The bun was pretty good, but nothing too special. Jalapeno Poppers (2/5): The fried exterior was great (crunchy and textured), but the inside was very disappointing. There was barely any jalapeno flavor, zero spice, and it was strangely wet inside. Onion Rings (2/5): The inside of the onion ring was very wet and mushy. It was almost like a sauteed onion that was then battered and fried. The fried part was also less crunchy than I like. The sauce tasted like a blend of tartar sauce and thousand island... Not for me. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

    Cheese curds
    Robert R.

    Service was quick and friendly! My pastrami on rye was very good and filling. The shared fried cheese curds were yummy! Had a pear cider the was crisp and tasty. The exterior was messy and did not look very well kept. It was clean well painted with a pool table at the back. Bathrooms were clean :)

    Great place for MI craft beer lovers

    It was after 7 pm on Sunday night and the few open restaurants downtown had lines. We stopped at the Sandbar on the outskirts of town. They were busy, but we were seated promptly. A nice classic bar and grill. The servers were friendly and attentive. We ordered our food and drinks. They have a nice selection of domestic and craft beers and a full bar. I was pleasantly surprised to find M-43 on draft. We weren't real hungry so we ordered wings and a Caprese Salad to share. It took awhile for the food to arrive but it was understandable since they had a full house. The Dry Rubbed Chili Lime Wings were good as was the salad when which was a twist on a classic Caprese - Spring Greens, diced tomatoes, pearl mozzarella and basil. Good ambiance, people and food.

    Blue gill basket

    This place hosts standard bar food but the fish special basket was bluegill and it was DELICIOUS! My husband got the same thing. The kids got the following kids meals: popcorn shrimp, Mac n cheese bites and a grilled cheese. All of them finished their plates and our middle is a picky eater. The service was prompt and kind. The hostess gave our lil one coloring sheets. It's a standard neighborhood bar vibe. Enjoy the low key setting!

    Their "smashburger" is not smashed. I complained, and the server laughed at me. I left without paying.

    Awesome experience! We snagged a table in the back corner…read moreright before the dinner rush and couldn't have been happier with the quality of food and service. It was our first time dining at Silver Harbor and won't be our last. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd expect from a small craft brewery. Fun, lively, and modern-- a place where people of all ages can enjoy a great drink and some tasty grindage (yes, I just quoted Pauly Shore)... The unique beer selection hits all the marks and my seltzer was exactly what I needed after a long day in the sun getting burnt at the beach! We started our meal with the Bacon Apple Fig Flatbread and it was outstanding. I'd order it again and again. The Hubbs got the Michigan Olive Burger and practically licked his plate afterward! My Asian Crunch Salad was top-notch--I wish every restaurant had a salad like this!! It was fresh and delicious and paired perfectly with the flatbread. If you're traveling along Michigan's beautiful Sunset Coast, make sure to stop into Silver Harbor! Leave the beach early and get there before everyone else does! You won't be sorry! :)

    We had the sous vide half chicken and brunt ends melt and both were fantastic. We stopped here on…read morea road trip and will likely stop here next time we drive through town.
