Port-a-potty out back, though it looked like they were having a sewage issue in the back yard as we were leaving... There's a very basic menu with a burger, chicken strips, fries, etc., plus rotating daily specials (which they will post of their Facebook page). Pretty good drink selection, which is the best thing about this place. Prices were decent (up to $7.50 for some frozen drinks). Jell-O shots for $1. Food was solidly average. I'm pretty sure the burgers were pre-made patties bought frozen. If you don't ask for it cooked medium well, it might come out on the raw side. I would say that if you're out on the boat, sure, it would be a decent place to grab lunch and a drink. I wouldn't make a special trip to come here if you're just in the car and could drive to other options.

Crispy and tasty cod fillets, served with fries, tartar sauce and cole slaw, although I was not too fond of the slaw. It's wasn't bad, and I can definitely say I've had worse, it just wasn't very flavorful. The layout of the restaurant is kind of different, like an 'L' shape, and there aren't that many tables indoors, but I think it is due to the majority of their business is the summer/warmer months and people are dining on the deck... and with that said, I would definitely enjoy dinner on the deck. Our waitress was very nice, attentive and not overbearing, although it took her a while to get to our table and the restaurant didn't seem to be very busy... but the host who sat us made sure we got our drinks and menus, so they get points for thinking on their feet and the team effort.

The food was correct but overpriced for what you get. Service just awful. Details…read more I ordered pasta dish, my wife's salad. Fifteen minutes later, the server came out and said pasta isn't available for lunch. I asked if they had any non alcoholic beer. Ten minutes later the server brought me a Bud zero. Which I didn't order. I had just asked initially IF they had any. Bid zero is a sucky drink (Fetch in nearby Whitehall makes a very nice n a beer). I sent it back. Then ordered a salad with the ahi tuna. Several minutes later we got water. My wife's salad came first of course. 15 minutes later mine did. We had to ask for water refill. Then the bill came and it still had the Bud zero on it. I had to wish ten minutes to snag the server to get the bill taken care of. The server was apparently new. That's fine. We had a new server at The Deck in Muskegon the other night, but she said so right away, and was excellent. It did appear that some of the other servers were more attentive. And I note other reviews are 4-5 stars. But I have to write a re iré based on the experience that we had, which was sub par, and we would not return.

The Little Fleet is by far the best solution we've found for our meals downtown. There's always something for everyone and the options are ever-changing so we don't get sick of it. It's also a great place for drink later in the evening. I will always recommend this spot to those visiting the area for the first time and it's a crowd pleaser. Most recently, I got the salt and pepper squid from their year round collaborator, Crocodile Palace and I was impressed and surprised. The salt and pepper seasoning, which you can also get on chicken wings, was sour, peppery, and numbing but not truly spicy. It was a very new taste for me but I absolutely loved it!

It's kind of tucked into a corner lot so it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Trader Nick's has a wide variety of rum Tiki drinks. I'm not much of a rum drinker, but the owner ran through my drink options without my needing to ask - including a couple of vodka, gin, and Bourbon drinks on the menu. I had a Bourbon Sling and it was very tasty. My drink - with a pretty hefty tip - was around $12 - pretty reasonable, in my opinion. The owner is so nice and helpful! He checked in on our group a few times, and thanked us for visiting more than once as we left. He seemed genuinely interested in whether we had a good experience. One of the two resident dogs was cute, but he didn't seem to like me very much. I got a little growl and bark - yikes. The only thing I think could be improved is the addition of food, or at least some snacks. Especially since most of the drinks are liquor based, it would be helpful to have some food with the drinks.

Yes. This is a tiki bar. So there are sweet options, but if that's not your thing tell your barkeep. They know what cocktails to make you. Did I mention how adorable this bar is? They have an impeccable tiki glass collection. Lots of local wood art work and all the tiki vibes. You can have a beer too if you are not in the cocktail mood. They even bring a Hawaiian beer to the list. If you want high class cocktails that don't have all the hoity toity, but all the flavor then get in here. Some nights they have live music too.

Now, if you go to the restaurant side, there are stunning lake views. I definitely need to come back in the summer time! We enjoyed our drinks as we perused the menu. I chose the Halibut. Let me tell you. They did NOT disappoint! This was creamy and delicious. Once you've had Halibut in New Orleans you are difficult to impress. But I was absolutely impressed.
