    The fresh mozzarella melted in the burger and the pesto added an amazing flavor!

    The clam chowder soup( not many places have good clam chowder) was delicious and my burger was unique and extremely tasty... my husband hamburger and fries were just perfect Server was good and the atmosphere was decent!

    A casual restaurant overlooking Lake Michigan. Indoor and outdoor seating available but the outdoor seating is along a pretty busy street so it can get noisy. Visited by locals and visitors,their menu offers just about everything from burgers,salads,soups,noodles and chef features. Started with a Michigan Old Fashion and Cider. They also have a huge beer and wine list. I had the Perch sandwich. Lightly breaded and moist. Came with fries and I substituted the Cole Slaw with asparagus. Delicious My wife had the Black and Blue salad with tenderloin. The salad tho was just romaine lettuce with nothing else such as tomatoes,cucumbers or not much bleu cheese. The tenderloin was seasoned perfectly. This place is very well known in the area and is definitely a place to try when in St.Josephs!

    Great location to the beach and the shops downtown. I had the Caprese burger and fries and was not disappointed. Tap beer was cold and staff was friendly and on point. My Wife had the turkey club panini and really enjoyed it. Fries were crisp and flavorful. 2 entrees, 2 beers and a tea for $52.00.

    This place deserves better ratings! We had a lovely water view patio seat for a light dinner in August. Garlic bread and gumbo for husband, crab cakes for me. I really enjoyed the mango salsa with the crab cakes. Lingered long enough to drink two ciders!

    The most perfect, yummy, delicious Reuben sandwich. My husband and I stopped here on New Year's Day while visiting St. Joseph's. When we arrived, the hostess and waitresses were very friendly. I ordered the Reuben and my husband had the soup & salad. The sweet potato fries were delicious. I highly recommend. I can't wait to come back and try the fresh catch of the day and more of their soups. The inside of the restaurant has a view of the water & is very clean & cute.

    My family went there on a Saturday after a day at the beach. We were greeted by Remy who was fantastic in getting a seated at a great table. Our server was Brittney and she did an awesome job. We ordered some beer bartered onion rings snd the were perfectly cooked. No onions pulling out in these. Every bite was crunchy and devoured immediately. The perch sandwiches were very delicious and just tasty. The croissant chicken salad sandwiches hit the spot! The only downsides was the dark vanilla porter beer didn't have any type of head on it at all. The bill has an automatic what's going on 20% to 30% tip.... We did the custom tip feature. I would go back to this place.

    Before the very constructive critic I'd like to start off by saying the service here was AMAZING! Young lady that took care of us was very attentive, the staff was super friendly, they cleared as we finished and was felt very welcomed! Now the hash part, ‍ Crabcakes, good flavor but for sure we're missing something, lemon zest, definitely a little more panko. Calamari, UFF.. if you're looking for pre-battered frozen VERY heavy breaded calamari with NO flavor this is it. Almost would bet that they were cooked in VERY old frying oil. Or it was just a horrible calamari they order n serve. But for sure if I had to bet the oil was probably just not filtered or changed in a while! (Our fries had that burnt oil taste as well) We than ordered a Wagyu Burger with additional toppings, WAGYU burger. Hard to mess it up. But for sure lacked seasoning. Sadly! Now keep in mind. I do work in the industry. Blessed to say I run a million dollar catering company n we strive to serve the best to our guest. Had a Flatbread n Boy! If ur looking to get a soggy greasy flatbread. Wow! Sad. Our waiter asked for me to give back my honest feedback n sadly it just was bad! All in all. Service is what did it for us! But the food. :( no bueno!

    Our server was very helpful and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio on such a beautiful Mother's Day. The drinks were served to us quickly along with ice water which was appreciated. My salad was refreshing and a good size with very tender steak. My husband said his perch sandwich was tasty. I would come back next time we are driving through.

    My husband has been talking for years about how he has never been to Schu's. I was super excited that he decided to take us here to eat instead of just constantly reminding me he hasn't been here. We came in on Wednesday April 26th and our servers name was Tina. Tina was a great server for our dine in meal and was the cherry on top of a wonderful night. Checking in on us regularly and generally being helpful. She got us our food quickly and our order was correct. Tina also is super funny and while usually with my anxiety I don't love extra interactions, she was absolutely wonderful. My husband got an angus burger with a side of french fries. I got the bucatini pasta with meatballs, which comes with a bread stick and a salad with choice of dressing (I got ranch). Our food was great and my husband was already talking about coming back to enjoy the outside seating. We had also discussed coming by Schu's to sit by the bar so we can watch a sports game on one of their televisions. Before heading out I used the restroom really quickly and it was clean. Everything was wonderful and we are very excited to come back already. Thanks Schu's and Tina for giving us a great Wednesday night.

    The chicken dinner special is a good deal here. Chicken is good, sides are just ok. Green beans, coleslaw, and mashed potatoes. Coleslaw did not seem fresh and the green beans were cold. The swiss burger was ok but came with items I said I did not want. Not sure if that was a server issue, because nothing was being written down, or a kitchen error. The salt and pepper shakers were really dirty and sticky, like just not getting wiped down at all. It wasn't cleanser sticky either. French's ketchup is also gross. The service was very friendly. Overall, it was just ok.

    Lunch for five this afternoon was delicious. Quick service. Had the Reuben sandwich (great corned beef, not fatty), Michigan Cherry Salad (generous, tasty, fresh greens), and chicken salad sandwich. Very nice selection of beers although we are really not drinkers. Prices were somewhat on the high side, but the quality of the food made those prices relatively okay. Highly recommend.

    Schu's is our absolute go-to with a group or when we can't decide what to eat. Vegetarian options are amaaaazing though I REALLY miss "Fernando's Vegetarian Wrap." Great ambiance and patio. Bar is fun. We love Schu's!

    This restaurant has a nice cozy feeling, the staff are friendly. They have some vegetarian options (and lots of sides) available but I honestly wish there was more! Came here with a dear friend Mrs. Chadderdon and the company made the good taste even better.

    Lake perch and Wagyu burger! 10/10

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! :)

It's a lovely place for a restaurant and we've been able to find comfortable seating for a large group. We visited on Black Friday and had a nice experience! Our server was attentive and fast, drinks were handled very well with everyone getting different coffees, teas, etc. and we were all ordered with the food out within 15 minutes. One dish was delayed but the rest came out on time. The food is pretty standard for an American brunch spot- it's 4/5 stars when it comes to seasoning/quality in my opinion, and comes at a higher price point- but I think you're paying for the view which makes sense! The windows over the water are beautiful and the decor is cozy and comfortable. So all in all, this is a great choice of a spot for a date night or family meal. The menu has all of your standard brunch options- a Benedict, pancakes, several omelettes, a classic breakfast, a hash, etc. I ordered the garden omelette and it left a little to be desired- potatoes weren't all the way cooked/ sat in a lot of oil, eggs were well cooked but the veggies were cut in large chunks/on the more raw side. This is what I meant about being 4/5 stars. Large portion sizes though, and something for everyone on the menu. The pizzas and sandwiches always look really good! And there's an extensive drink menu as well as a holiday drink menu. I imagine this place would be amazing in the summer when Benton Harbor comes alive but it's charming in the colder months as well. We will keep coming back when we're in town visiting family!

For our appetizer, which we had never ordered one before from this establishment, we got the Wisconsin cheese curds. The sauce it came with reminds me of a good sauce for onion rings and was just as amazing on the cheese curds (it was called Sunny ranch I believe). We both got our usual entrees, my husband ordered a double smash burger and I got the atomic punk sandwich, both of which came with fries. My husband devoured his food, while my anxiety basically required me to wait until we got home to eat. I would definitely recommend stopping by The Brick House and grabbing a bite to eat. They have never disappointed us or the people we've sent their way.

I was excited to try it (knowing my husband was with me boosted my confidence cause he'll drink anything... lol). They also have a huge variety of local beers! There were still quite a few people lingering, so we settled in to enjoy our drinks. I continued to try to make small talk with the bartender, but she seemed less than thrilled to have us there. The staff began cleaning up and closing down not long after we arrived and the bartender brought us our tab pretty quickly. We attempted to get an uber starting at 9:23 (they aren't kidding about Lake effect winds!), but apparently those are few and far between in St. Joseph. They closed up all around us, so we took the hint and walked back to the hotel around 9:45. The concept was great... (we loved the wheel). I will also say, we did take a Facebook call from our daughter about halfway thru (which I know can be annoying), but even before and after that, we could tell that they were not interested in having walkins an hour and a half before closing. I'm giving this a 3 because we also understand long shifts and being ready to be done for the night, so maybe we will try again next time we are in town and I can update my review!
