    Went here on Sunday, May 31st, with my parents and my husband. My anxiety got away from me while I was here but our waitress was amazing and the food was fantastic. The restaurant can get busy, which means it naturally gets a bit loud. I loved the overall atmosphere and vibe of the pub, even if it was a bit overwhelming with all the people and noise. This place is clearly the place to be, because it was definitely the place everyone was. I would definitely give them a second try next time I'm in Manistee but I'd do takeout.

    First time back at TJs this year. Never disappoints! Food was delicious and the drinks were amazing! Service was very prompt. If you are ever in Manistee give this place a try! There will be a little wait during busier times as it has a small seating area. The wait is worth it!

    Great food, cool atmosphere, awesome service and a local selection of drinks! Definitely recommend!

    I had some time to grab lunch before a job and saw the beautiful exterior of TJ's Pub. I decided to check it out. I was very pleased with my choice. My sandwich was perfect. The Barman was super attentive and pleasant. I'm looking forward to going back.

    Super cute place with really good food! Everything we had was delicious--salad, baked meatballs and their southwest egg rolls Service was also good and prices were reasonable I'd definitely come back here!

    We came into downtown Manistee for dinner one night and while there weren't too many restaurants to pick from, we could quickly and easily tell that most everyone was gathering at TJs. It's located at the base of a hotel (The Ramsdell Inn), sort of half above, half below ground level, which felt very cozy and quaint! Because of this location as well, you get both foot traffic and customers from the hotel guests coming down and seemingly everyone else passing through town too. While we were sitting in the lobby waiting for our table, there was a giant group of around 10 people who came in here on a bar crawl just to get a quick round of shots before moving on to their next destination, and I just really loved the energy of that and how it permeated throughout in here! I came in here with my service dog and was treated with a lot of accommodation without even asking, which I sincerely appreciated! (Spoiler alert: a lot of establishments throughout downtown Manistee were very unfriendly and unwelcoming about me having a service dog, which was shocking and disappointing.) TJs sat us at a nice table where I was able to tuck my service dog in a corner for him to relax by me/under the table and not be in a high foot traffic area and our waiter even brought a bowl of water out for him as well! The food here was decent, nothing spectacular, but we appreciated the warm meal on a cold, rainy day and it made my stomach happy! My friends and I got a baked cheese appetizer to start (cheesy bread with apple slices and hot honey) and then I got the baked meatballs as my main. Both were perfectly fine, but the ambiance (and the hilarious bathroom vibes) really rounded out this entire experience and had us really enjoying our time here - thanks TJs!

    Server was a bit rude and slow and acted like she wanted us out of there. Wasn't the best value. White pizza was good.

    A cute divey spot in downtown Ludington. I had mixed feelings about my experience. I stopped here…read moreafter a long day of driving. Met up with a group of 5 to get drinks and food before checking into our Airbnb. The first thing we noticed was that there were no tables for groups larger than 4, so we grabbed a chair from another table and all crammed around a high top. There appeared to only be 1 waitress working and while she was friendly she was not attentive. Food took 50minutes to come out and drinks ran empty without refills. I had ordered 2 appetizers and skipped the mains. First up were the fried Pickle Chips that came with a ranch dip. The batter was flavorful, and the pickle fried to perfection. The second app I had gotten were the Bavarian Pretzel Sticks which came with a house made beer cheese. The pretzels were warm and doughy without being dry and the beer cheese was incredible. The rest of the table ordered wings and a burger, and everyone had great things to say about their food. The food was great but the wait time, lack of seating, and lack of staff really put a damper on the experience. This pub is currently sitting at a 5.3 on my Beli and it feels like a fair rating. Food is on point, customer service needs work.

After exploring other restaurants around lately, we decided to give the Clam a try again. Glad we did. Service Our waitress was great. Patient while we decided and helped with our lunch choices. Food We got a Rodeo burger and the Chicken Quesadillas. Both were really good. The spicy Rodeo sauce for the burger was nice. Chicken quesadillas was plentiful and really good. Price Compared to other places around the Clam was reasonably priced. Especially considering the dishes were tasty. Restaurant The Clam had a nice feel. Tables spaced nicely. Everything looked clean. You can be seated outside on the sidewalk cafe if you'd like. Nice place. Summary We'll be back. I'll be trying the pizza next. It looked great and seems that it was a popular choice. Considering so many tourist trap restaurants around Cadillac and Lake City, the Clam seems to be a good go to.

    On a Fish Fry Friday, I ordered the clam chowder and fish fry dinner with perch and sweet potatoes…read more The clam chowder was excellent. Generously prepared, great seasoning and with the right temperature. The fries are sprinkled with cinnamon which was a first for me. The sweet potato fries were a little soggy but not bad. The cherry hard cider was fizzy and refreshing, It looks like the restaurant used to be a fire house. To me, it's like if the Hot House (Menomonee Falls) and Mission BBQ had a baby. Our server was excellent. She took very good care of us. On a quiet afternoon, we were sat by the bar, by a group that was very loud. We would have preferred a different table.

    Really mixed review. Food was good but the service was meh at best…read more We were seated immediately but then it took over 10 minutes before someone talked to us again. No drinks, no "we will be with you shortly" or anything. We just sat there. Finally a server came over and said they had a big group come in and it was causing some backup and the host should have told us; he didn't. The drinks and appetizer came quickly and the street corner appetizer was very good; I would order it again. Once the appetizer was finished we sat with empty glasses for a good while. Again, no communication. Once the food arrived, things got much better. Wraps were good, not great. My daughter's pizza was good. With all the restaurants in the area, they will need to up their game on service.
