    This is such a great spot located right on the river. Their tacos are amazing and they have a great variety of options. Their cocktails are delicious and they are part of the social district so you can even take them to go! This is a great spot for lunch!

    Really enjoyed our first Saugataco (great name BTW) run. The zero tip policy is unique and had zero (service) effect. Staff was friendly and did their best to reduce ticket times; we arrived at the end of a big dinner rush. The nacho plate is HUGE and definitely meant for two people. Hey, we did our best. Salsa sampler was fresh and on point. Margaritas were tasty and perfectly nailed all the mixing ratios. Great addition to our downtown restaurant scene.

    Bbq pork taco and beef taco
    Kelli K.

    I LOVE this place! I especially loved the sign out front that told you exactly what to do! Tacos were really great, and there were a lot of options for the pescatarians/vegetarians who do not like beans of any kind, which is hard to find at some taco places . The place was super cute and there was lots of seating both inside and outside. I would recommend this place to literally anyone!

    Ground beef and chicken tacos with greens and cheese added

    SUCH a cute little spot. The staff were all SO wonderful, and I loved the casual, yet still well done vibes. Even though it is a counter order style restaurant, the service is still prompt and helpful if you need anything at all! The owner was working on a catering order at the counter, and he mentioned his wife was in the kitchen as the chef. We had 4 different tacos between each of us: 3 regular ones (steak fajita, ground beef, and chicken), and one of the specials, which was a poke bowl inspired dish. We both had drinks, which were strong but tasteful. While we were sitting, we noticed several people getting the 4 pack of Sauga-Taco lavender lemonade cans. I can understand the hype! I cannot recommend the food, drinks, or ambiance enough, plus it's a lot of food for the price!

    Great spot to grab a bite. Nice beer selection. I went the NA route and had a tasty October fest from Athletic. We had a large gathering and it was an order at the counter situation. Grabbed the pork tacos and added some unique pico. It was heavy on delicious tomatoes and crispy cucumbers. The dips included guacamole, queso and a black bean. All were delicious and rounded out be meal. The owner was very pleasant and kind. In fact all staff had exceptional attitudes and were very helpful. There's a strict ask for no gratuity. I assume staff s well taken care of as this showed no signs of impeding the exceptional service. A deduction of a star as it seemed to be Michigan style Mexican food and not what in familiar with in California. Would absolutely repeat. Yet another bonus as much of the food arrived in compostable fashion. There was a clearly marked receptacle and most patrons seemed to understand and follow the process. A repeat stop for sure. They had both indoor and outdoor seating. A very clean establishment.

    Classic tacos: ground beef and BBQ Pork
    Letitia J.

    We got two classic tacos: ground beef and pork. Both were good and filled up the tummies. The beef was interesting; it was on the oily side (like it was partially dripping with oil) but I didn't mind it all too much. It definitely tasted homemade. It was nice and light, and I appreciated the care that went into it. If you are craving for some tacos, this is a good place to go to and check out! Cool vibe; there is indoor and outdoor seating. I was surprised that this place doesn't take tips (at the time I am writing this). But the working behind the counter was super sweet and nice.

    Fish & Chips Taco

    Try the Fish & Chips taco!! While all of the tacos we tried were great (Mom's Ground Beef, BBQ Jackfruit, and a vegan Mushroom Fajita special), my husband and I agreed that the Fish & Chips was our favorite! The spiked lavender lemonade was really good! We enjoyed the outside seating and the service was excellent! The cashier was really friendly and helpful!

    The food and service was amazing!! The guac was I will definitely be back next time I'm in Saugatuck!

    Poke taco but instead of Poke, STEAK.

    I've tried tacos pretty much everywhere, and Saugataco totally blew me away. The flavors are spot on, everything tastes super fresh, and the vibe is just great. Definitely one of my new favorite taco spots! Also great ownership/staff!!!

    This place is an absolute gem! If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and go. First off, the black bean dip with carmelized onion dip layered on top is AMAZING. It's creamy, flavorful, and the perfect start to the meal. I could honestly eat it by the spoonful! We also had the Works Nachos and the Goat cheese and Mango Empanadas, and they were out-of-this-world good as well. From start to finish, everything was perfection. Great vibes, amazing food and friendly service. Can't wait to go again!

    Holy seasoning! Empanadas were filled with grease, but at least the staff were pleasant.

    While in town for the weekend, we were looking for a place to grab a drink in the evening of our…read morefirst night. With a lot of places closed, we stumbled upon Noble Twist Taphouse. We are so glad we did! We loved it so much we returned our second night, as well! First, while many places closed at 9pm, Noble Twist closed at 10pm. Second, the hostess and bartender were welcoming, kind, and professional. Third, the ambiance is clean, modern, and open. We loved the classy, but not pretentious, vibe since many of the other spots in town have more of a dive-bar vibe. We sat at the bar to watch games on the TV, but there were plenty of tables with chairs, as well. The drinks menu is fabulous! I got a different cocktail each night and loved both. First, the Partridge in a Pine Tree. Second, a Dirty Gin Martini. Both were flavorful, high quality, and boozy. My husband tried the IPA the first night and the Pilsner the second. He loved both! Best of all, prices are reasonable for quality beverages! The menu also had wine and food, but we did not try either. Next time! Noble Twist Taphouse is our new favorite drinking spot in Saugatuck! We look forward to visiting the next time we are in town!

It was starting to…read morefeel like we would go to the same places over and over again and we were thrilled to see this new spot pop-up on Yelp. We visited for an early in-house 5 PM dinner and were promptly seated. They have a large patio that appears to be quite popular, but we ended up sitting inside in the bar section. Our waitress was very friendly and eager to walk us through the menu. We ended up ordering the tempura fried veggies from the appetizers list a tomato Caprese salad (arugula caprese salad with tomatoes and a lemony vinaigrette (it was superb!) along with a pizza. The Lake house pizza with arugula, mozzarella, prosciutto, lemon oil and parm was fabulous. There are several TVs in the dining room room, so the kids were easily entertained as we leisurely enjoyed our wine and cocktail to go with dinner. Not proud to say this, but sometimes you just want to linger like the old (pre-kids) times.

    We originally popped into Phil's Bar & Grille just for a quick drink before our dinner…read morereservation... and yeah, that plan didn't stand a chance. We grabbed seats at the bar, and the place was full of locals which honestly tells you everything you need to know right there. And not just full... but full of the nicest people. The kind of place where you feel like you belong within five minutes. Now let's talk about Jimmy... WOW. Absolute rockstar behind the bar. Not only was he making amazing drinks, but he was also doing his best to convince us to ditch our dinner reservations and stay honestly, he almost had us The drinks were so good we ended up coming back later that night for dessert... because clearly we weren't done yet. But here's the part that got me I casually mentioned it was my birthday weekend, nothing big... and the NEXT DAY while we were walking around downtown, we look up and there's my name on the marquee wishing me a happy birthday. Like... who does that?! That kind of thoughtfulness is just next level and completely made my day. Phil's isn't just a bar--it's a whole experience. Every time we walked by, it was packed, and after being there... I get it. They're doing a lot right. If you're anywhere near Saugatuck--GO. Sit at the bar, order a drink, and just enjoy it. You'll probably end up staying longer than you planned too

    A longtime go-to for my wife and I. Hands down one of Saugatuck's best restaurants…read more The ambience is casual, food is top notch pub fare and the bar selection is great too. Service is always great too. If you haven't tried Phil's yet I suggest you put it in your rotation.
