My husband found himself craving their friends and burgers recently, so I decided to take a chance and come back. The food, as always, is fantastic. We had never ordered an appetizer before so we ended up trying the cheese curds as an extra treat since it's been so long between our last visit and our most recent one. My husband got a double burger with American cheese and bacon, which is a pretty standard order for him. He did end up ordering a side of fries and a drink as well, but the name of the drink has escaped my brain. I got my usual BYOB (build your own burger) which is a bean patty, white cheddar cheese, lettuce, onion, and honey mustard. The hostess who greeted us was very welcoming and led us upstairs to our table. Our waiter was also very friendly, chatted with us about Pokemon Go and was generally quick with our items. If I could change anything it would be having a little bit more time between our appetizer and our entree, but that wasn't a big deal considering my anxiety usually acts up to a point where I take most of my food home anyways (which I did end up doing). Overall a decent experience, if you come in to dine that is. I still don't trust them to do a proper over the phone order.

Great selection of beers!

Unfortunately, he ordered the gluten-free toast and was served regular toast instead. While his allergy is not life-threatening, consuming gluten still causes him adverse reactions and discomfort. When a restaurant advertises gluten-free options, it is important that staff take those orders seriously and ensure the correct food is served. For someone with a more severe allergy or celiac disease, this mistake could have had much more serious consequences. We hope greater care is taken in the future to prevent this from happening to other customers.

This place was on an up swing the last few months but then It completely Embarrassed me when I took close friends Visiting this weekend. I had high hopes for this place since it's a hidden gem most of the time lately even tho it had a bad rep the last few. Last night the Drinks were terrible!!! I sent them back & then again Sent bAck 3 times. As for the Food...took way way to long & the service was clearly confused... not a clue or idea about the cocktail menu or any suggestions or pairing server couldn't even open a bottle of wine .. Just laziness management. The service overall seemed confused. The bartender that served us the weekend before tried her best to help when we waived her over & then was clearly shushed away. Just to be then ignored by our clearly very over whelmed novice waitress that was clueless & in a bad mood. read more

I've wanted to check out The Grille at Harbor Shores as I had heard how wonderful it was from several different people. Today I had the opportunity to have lunch there and enjoyed one of their specialty chicken wraps and fresh fruit. It was wonderful. Everyone at our table raved about the dishes they had ordered as well. We ate outside and the view was gorgeous with lovely flowers and a great view of people golfing. It makes you feel like you're somewhere far away on a lovely vacation! This is a fabulous place to eat and I will be going back again next week to celebrate a special occasion with friends. read more

Please try the Grille if you haven't been there this season. Service has turned around 100%. You are greeted and seated by a lovely young lady and a mai'tre d who oversees the service. The food is creative and delicious. Sheyrl is making this an attractive restaurant that caters to the local diners as well as golfers. She is putting her own stamp on it and it appears that the Chicago Management Co. is finally accepting the fact this is also a "local" restaurant and not only a golfers destination. Few people know they are open again but word of mouth is spreading the good word. read more

First visit for dinner with friends. We had the Perch and the Surf and Turf. Wonderful meals. The fish was flaky and the steak was done as ordered. The wait staff was friendly and quick with refills. The atmosphere was relaxing and quiet, great for dinner conversation. The food was presented well and tasted great. This was the third visit for some of our group. We would definetly return and feel it is a great place to take out of town guests. There are too few places in our area where you can just sit, talk and enjoy a quiet meal. read more

In response to Paddy W!!! Your review was posted well after I had left Harbor Shores. You need to get your facts straight before using my name in false statements. With over 400 endorsements & recommendations in Southwest Michigan and Chicago area, a chef at my status does not use boxed foods at Harbor Shores or Point O Woods. Any further false statements regarding my name in public view will result in "Legal Action" read more

Yum! Cannot say enough for the culinary choices and preparation. The food is amazing and antelope is my go to red meat! If you haven't tried it, it's a must for any carnivore.
