Wicks is like the epitome of an average Google Business listing description of a bar and grill. Something like "hearty American fare in a cozy gastropub style setting with casual ambience, live music, and drinks." Really is in the heart of Saugatuck and draws you in with foot traffic and live music at times. Can't go wrong with a cheeseburger and fries which is usually what I get. Dog friendly and patio picnic seating available out front read more

What's not to love about this place? The ambiance is like you're having a meal and drinks in a Hallmark movie. The food choices are all amazing and our server, Zoe, offered great food recommendations; she was friendly, fast, and checked in us often. Coconut shrimp, pimiento cheese, and chicken sand-which were all amazing. If you're looking for a reasonable pour of Blanton's or Buffalo Trace, they've got it, along with a number of great cocktails. The outdoor seating is the perfect spot to relax with family and friends and listen to the park's free concert Wednesdays. read more

wouldn't come back. We got seated in the back of the restaurant away from everyone, the bartender kept interrupting our dinner even though we were not seated at the bar. He poured my drink and spilled it all over our table, and never cleaned it up. I had to get up and ask for a napkin from a different bartender. Then I recieved the wrong food, had to send it back to get what i ordered. Once it finally arrived it was cold. This is what they gave my boyfriend as a "Tuna Melt" yet it wasn't melted in the slightest? However, drinks were delicious and the chicken tenders were delicious. Not delicious enough to return for poor service, cold food and tuna "melts". read more

This was our second visit here and we throughly enjoyed every bite. Husband had the fish tacos and I had the French dip w/ onion rings. Both were delicious and would 100% come back again. Our waitress was great, frequently checking on us. Previously we had sat outside which is a cute little parkish setting but chose to sit inside this time as it was a little chilly. It is roomy and cute inside and out. We will definitely keep this in our Saugatuck rotation. read more

Surprisingly good food and good vibe . We were there on a Friday evening and were also able to enjoy live music there as well

We dined here our first night in Saugatuck. It is a bar with indoor and outdoor seating. It was busy but we were seated right away. Our waitress was friendly and our drink order was taken quickly and returned quickly. She checked back with us often. We ordered the cheese curds for an appetizer and they were fresh and very good. I had the Pasta Cremosa and it was also really good and a good sized portion. My husband had the fish tacos which he really enjoyed and our daughter had the Wicks Park Burger and she ate the whole thing along with all of her fries. They had live music the night we were there but we were finished with our meal before they were done setting up so we didn't get a chance to hear them play. Would come again! read more

What a cool local bar with amazing food! I ordered the homemade Mac and Cheese and it was the best I've had at any restaurant I've been to! It was so cheesy and creamy! I highly recommend. Our waiter was so fun and we loved our night at Wicks! read more

We came to dine in the patio on a nice weekday. We were able to choose our seats upon arrival. Pros -dog friendly, water bowl provided for our pup -baby/toddler friendly -decent food -location, close to Ferry & shopping + ice cream area Customer service: friendly and quick Costs: it is on the higher end.. reflect to pay $20+ per person on an entree, appetizers are close to $20 each too. Spicy chicken sandwich: the chicken is quite spicy but it was also a little oily as if the chicken was drenched in oily sauce. The food was good and the portion was big. Skirt steak with peppers: this is similar to ordering a fajita with the ingredients all in a soft pita. The portion is quite big and can be shared amongst two ppl -ordered with curly fries which were great! Mm..perfectly seasoned and fresh & hot! I'd be back if I was in the area to try some of their other menu options. read more

We have eaten at Wicks probably a half dozen times. That is a family group of 14. So that would make 84 meals. It is more like 168 meals, because the portions are so generous. Since we are only there one week in the summer, I cannot say we are regulars. i can say, however, that Wicks has been the single establishment we have visited every single year over a 20 year span of coming to Saugatuck for vacation. They can accommodate a big group with no issues. Our party consists of three generations. The servers have always been friendly, which is not always the case everywhere with a big group that includes kids. One teenager has a severe peanut allergy, and they are considerate about that. For lunch today, I had the mac and cheese with broccoli. My wife had walleye with French fries, and I sampled that. For the table, we had the elote (corn) dip, cheese curds, and onion rings. That makes for a range that I tasted personally. Others at the table had burgers, vegan burgers, crispy chicken over salad, and just about everything they list on the menu. We needed one box per person. We depart tomorrow, meaning we have to finish off all these leftovers within 24 hours. This is a compliment, not a criticism. I feel the need to take an afternoon nap after lunch at Wicks. read more

What a fun place. We arrived late, around 10pm and the kitchen was only making pizzas. We got Detroit pizza, which was excellent and went perfectly with the local beers and live music. It was quite crowded and the servers went the extra mile to take care of us. Definitely go here if stopping by Saugatuck read more

Dog friendly patio so that's a plus. Food was fine, but nothing special, especially for the price. $19 for a burger with generic fries with no seasoning? Just a bit underwhelming. I got a Shirley temple for $6, which is overpriced. Service was also fine. Picnic tables on the patio with cute decor. read more

I will be returning with my family. They have to experience Wicks Park Bar & Grille! We had a reservation for 16 guests. The staff and the atmosphere were very welcoming. The service was great. What stood out as exceptional, was the delivery of our meals. Several staff members helped get our food out HOT and directly to the source! I didn't hear one "excuse me, this isn't ...". It was an efficient process. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich with French fries. This sandwich is truly spicy, just like I expected. I liked this sandwich so much, it's going to be hard to try something else. All the food around me looked great. Especially my neighbors chicken tenders. Hand made! Giant! I wish I would have grabbed my phone for pictures, next time for sure. read more

I haven't been here in ages but we tried it tonight at the request of my daughter and her boyfriend. I ordered the street corn salad and my steak medium. It was rare to medium rare. I hate to send things back but I could barely chew the pieces I cut off so I asked them to cook it a little longer. The inside still was quite pink so I left it alone. The salad was good though and my daughter and her boyfriend both smashed their chicken wings and burger respectively. I didn't get photos sadly because shortly after we were seated....some other regulars came in and one positioned herself almost hovering over me to where she was bumping my arm while I tried to eat. I mentioned something to our server but the regulars won out and no one said anything to ask them to give us space. read more

Amazing place ! Best cheese curds on this side of the state ! Great service and clean bathrooms

Delicious appetizers, great views in the middle of Saugatuck, & no wait to be sat! Server was very friendly and I heard her giving recommendations to other tables which was very nice. Would love to come back for an actual meal next time, everything I saw looked great. Inside dining area also looks very nice and fun! read more

Celiac Foodie: Heads Up- Arrived based on comments and they were off for the Gluten Free options! They offer GF Pizza Crust. They do not offer GF buns or Tortilla Shell. The Chips are deep fried in a shared frier- DO NOT EAT! The Grill is shared - They had to PAN FRY my chicken due to Cross Contamination! I would not recommend for Celiacs! Very limited GF SAFE options . I ordered the Caesar Salad, no croutons with the Pan Fried Chicken.. unseasoned and bland. Overall, epic fail for the Celiacs. 2 Stars for the waitress and her efforts with honesty!! Happy Dining!! read more

This review is solely for the macaroni and cheese. I love macaroni. I usually don't care for the cavatappi noodles restaurants all try to use lately, but these were smaller and actually cooked through. The cheese sauce was creamy and I think they made a roux for the sauce with heavy cream. My mans got it with the crispy chicken ( which was okay ) the batter didn't have much flavor and neither did the chicken, but the macaroni was so good. Oh man. And it's yellow. Not white with 12 different kinds of cheese you can't pronounce. They did not try to make it fancy. They also bake it so it comes out bubbly with a little crisp on top. Chef's kiss*** read more

Great spot for lunch or dinner in Saugatuck. The eloté dip and fish tacos were spectacular and more than enough for my wife and I to split. Restaurant has cozy indoor seating and plenty of patio seating. Service was prompt and professional. We will be back! read more

Great little town for walking around and shopping. Wicks was very popular so we had to wait for a few minutes. Fish poboy was good and the shrimp taco wasn't bad. Challenge was the music got really loud (good music) but hard to have a conversation. I would go back for drinks is and music again. read more

We just love this place. Super chill, great music, food is sooooo good. Happy friendly staff. This is our Saturday lunch date place. I am obsessed with their beet salad with shrimp. It is way too much for one person. The candied walnuts are magical. We just had their Deluxe Pizza. WOW! Huge and giant toppings. The downtown is magical. read more

Ordered the chicken tenders, which I typically LOVE! But they have started to hammer them down, lesser meat, lesser deliciousness. I'm happy to pay for good quality food, which I believed was the case at Wicks...however that seems to be changing read more

Enjoyed lunch during the season. Mussels were wonderful- HUGE garlic bread with chunks of garlic inside. (Drool) my sister had the buffalo chicken sandwich which was V spicy but flavorful. Coconut shrimp was my fav- lots of natural coconut flavor. The lettuce wraps were also very good as well. Would order all the food again. read more

I just can't quit thinking about Wicks!! In fact, I would love to transport that restaurant to NYC immediately because it could easily be my "go to" place it if were nearer! So what makes this place so special? The short answer is everything! Wicks is simply spot on all around--from the food, to the drinks, to the service! First, let me give a shout out to the food! It's all fantastic... so go with a group, order a little bit of everything, and share amongst your table. Here's what you HAVE to order (in order of priority): Buffalo Rolls, Chicken Tenders, Sicilian Pizza, Fried Fish (a special the night we went), Shrimp Tacos, any of their burgers, and Vegetable side dish (omg!). Next up were the drinks--they were were equally tasty (especially the margaritas). Also, my dining party ordered a lot of wine and bubbly, and we all agreed that their wine selections were great. Finally a shout out to the amazing staff!! I think our waiter's name was Peter (or Pete). He definitely pulled out all the stops for us... so very appreciated!! If you are in Saugatuck, MI for vacation, do not pass this place up. You will be glad you stopped in. read more

Cute atmosphere with views of the river and outdoor seating. Standard bar food that is somewhat pricey considering the quality. Loved the buffalo roll appetizer and my kids enjoyed the burgers. I tried the lettuce wraps which came deconstructed with full chicken breasts and the ingredients separate, assembly needed which was a bit off putting. Overall fine experience but a little disappointing. read more

This is our second Friends vacation to Saugatuck MI and our second afternoon spent at Wicks. It's spectacular. The staff is SO friendly, and just so down-to-earth. We always sit at the bar...all 8 of us...and they ALWAYS put the Purdue game on for us. That's right! I'm in MICHIGAN and they put the Purdue game in for us!!! If you don't get the Buffalo Rolls, we can't be friends. They'll change your life. Soup of the day was Cream of Mushroom and I had to had to have it, even in September. It as fantastic. Everything homemade. Heavy pours on the drinks. Clean bathrooms. Get here early because there will be a line wait for the doors to open at NOON!! read more

Outside is kid friendly with picnic tables with views of the Kalamazoo River. Inside is dark and a bar atmosphere. We walked by one night and there was live music. We preferred a night without the live music and we're glad we chose another night. Food was very good and service was prompt. Our waitress treated our kids so well. She even brought out a dog bowl filled with water for their stuffed animals. From the mozzarella sticks to the fish tacos (one of their specialties) to the hand breaded chicken tenders the meals were good. I got the shrimp tacos and they had a wonderful spiced blend of sweet potatoes, pico de gallo, and cilantro. Very tasty! Good selection of beers on tap. My pre meal beer was a lemonade/blueberry shandy. I'd go with something else in the future for a drink. read more

We absolutely loved it here. We had our dog with us so we sat at a picnic table outside on the far edge so she ‍ wouldn't get in the way. Jennifer the server spotted us right away and brought water for all of us, a dog bowlful for our pup. A hint that service would be great. We both loved what we ordered; Fish Tacos for me, and Beet/Goat Cheese salad, with candied pecans and Balsamic dressing for my bride. The salad was big so I got a share of that too. I recommend you give it a try. read more
