There is a reason this dish is the most popular. My daughter got the most amazing toast with homemade jam and not being much of a carb guy, I ended up getting one of two extra orders at our table of just toast! There is no question is this all made with quality, local ingredients but also with a lot of care and love. It's emulates from the waitresses and their attitudes towards everyone. It's always super awesome to have the chef himself pop by the table - which Jared did. You can tell he take pride in what he does and expects nothing less than perfection and the utmost satisfaction in the dining room.

Having grown up visiting family Manistee , Phil's sandwiches were a must-have. My mom got his slaw recipe in the 1970s, and it's a staple of our family cookbook. We stopped in Chef Jared for lunch. Great sandwich menu, creative combinations adding a unique twist to classic lunch options. Save room for something special from the pastry case!

We stopped in for the first time while visiting Ludington SP…read more Started with two drinks and the onion petals for an appetizer - all were very good. My husband ordered the ribs and I the perch dinner. Personally, I did not enjoy the perch. Overall they were just very underwhelming; tasted dry, perhaps overcooked, and not overly warm. My husband on the other hand - he is quite opinionated when it comes to ribs (has very high standards), and he could not stop talking about how good they were. He particularly enjoyed the seasoning. Overall, the service was great - our waitress was very friendly and everything came out in a timely manner. The outdoor deck would have been nice, but it was a bit chilly out to enjoy. Seating is limited both inside and outside - we arrived around 4:45 on a Saturday and shortly after all tables - in and out - were full. We'd definitely make the 2hr drive to return - but I'll be ordering something other than the perch next time.

They have great views of Hamlin lake, big screen tvs and outside patio seating with live music. Our group of 6 had burgers, fish and nacho appetizer which was good.

I'd come back again just to sit on the patio to see the lake and listen to the music. It was a great experience.

We were visiting Ludington on vacation and noticed that Mancino's Pizza & Grinders had decent…read morereviews, so we decided to give it a try. We ordered online: a deep-dish cheese pizza ($15) and an order of 10 boneless wings ($13). The online ordering system also had an option to request disposable silverware, which we selected since we were traveling. Our order was ready in about 25 minutes, and pickup was quick and easy. The restaurant itself felt very dated, and while we were picking up our food, employees were vacuuming and didn't stop or pause the vacuum while customers were inside. The staff wasn't rude, but it didn't make for the most welcoming experience. Unfortunately, the food was the biggest disappointment. The boneless wings were incredibly small and tasted like frozen, heavily processed chicken. Paying $13 for 10 tiny pieces felt like a poor value. The pizza was even more disappointing. Between my husband, our three children, and myself, not a single one of us enjoyed it. It was very greasy, the crust was dense with an unusual flavor we didn't care for, and overall it was just bland and unexciting. To make matters worse, despite specifically requesting disposable silverware through the online order, none was included, leaving us scrambling since we were eating away from home. Overall, spending nearly $30 on a meal that none of us enjoyed was very disappointing. Based on our experience, we have no plans to return and would not recommend it to others visiting the Ludington area.

I forgot to get a photo of the pizza unfortunately, but while in Manistee with my parents we got a…read morepizza from Big Al's delivered to our hotel. My husband has been trying to cut back on red meat, so on our half we got chicken. My parents got olives and onion on their half, which also looked good. We devoured our dinner after a long day of exploring and beach walking. The pricing to get our pizza delivered wasn't too bad, the delivery driver was very friendly and the food was fantastic. Those three things being the trifecta when it comes to restaurants has made this pizza place an obvious choice for us to revisit when on vacation again. I would definitely recommend coming here for pizza when in Manistee.
