We love this place so much, great manager chic that's always there is so sweet. Servers are always quick and nice. Food is always amazing. Mexican Street corn brussel sprouts, goat cheese stuffed chicken 😳😳 so good. Love their holiday drink menu 💚💚

We spent a sunny fall afternoon enjoying lunch at the "new" Smuggler's At North Shore on Hess Lake in the Newaygo, MI area. About a year or so ago, the original Smuggler's was a total loss due to a fire. They rebuilt--bigger, better, more amenities, and still great food. The menu has changed from the original, but there remains plenty of delicious options, with a few new twists. We were there for lunch and we selected the pulled pork sandwich (chips & coleslaw) and the butterfly shrimp basket (waffle fries & coleslaw)--both were very good. You can check out their complete lunch/dinner menu (as well as pricing) on their website. Seating options include inside (tables, high top tables, booth-like tables, or bar seating). We noticed that they have large "garage door" like openings that

Myself and a group of 8 other ladies stopped in the other day. It was my birthday and this place looked like a nice stop for the way home from our trip. The atmosphere is really cool, I can't wait to stop back in during the summer to sit outside by the lake!! Unfortunately, my cousin and I ordered a bakers dozen of oysters and they were extremely fishy tasting and mine had a good amount of crunchy shell parts in them. We were informed they were the last ones, didn't have enough for the whole bakers dozen so the restaurant did discount the bill which was nice. We didn't complain about the oysters to the server but I hope if we had that they would've done the right thing. Also, our server, Abby, was not super attentive. At first she was great but then once our food was delivered we all had z

Great food and an eclectic menu. All the staff members were extremely friendly. It's quite loud inside when the big deck doors are closed, we assume it would be great with them open. Nice outdoor seating area on the lake, unfortunately it was raining when we went. I had the truffle mushroom burger, which was well-prepared. I recommend the baked beans as a side! My wife had the goat cheese stuffed chicken and said she really liked it. Looking forward to visiting again when we're in the area to try out other menu choices.

We have eaten here twice when passing through, the setting is gorgeous, drinks are very good, enjoyed the food but the service is slow so make sure you have some time. I didn't get a picture of the pizza, but one in our party ordered it and we all enjoyed a piece, very good! I really enjoyed the mushroom soup and the chopped salad this time. Another in our party chose the onion soup which was very good as well.
