★★★★★ 5.0 Kirsten Kulick · Oct 2025

The apple sauce and curly fries were a perfect complement to my burger that had thick slices on the most beautiful tomato on it. I would come back here for sure. Prices are not bad!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jax Riley · Feb 2026

Owner is very rude every time I've ever been in there. Not sure how they get anyone to come back, one of the greasiest bars in town.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mandy Frazier · Jul 2024

It's a typical dive bar with a solid mix of what appears to be regulars and out of town visitors. The barstools were full when I arrived but the bartender was fantastic at greeting everyone that walked in. There were plenty of seats and a couple of pool tables. Ordered dinner to go and it was as expected. Nothing to jump up and down about but it was filling.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Grace Kimmel · Jul 2025

Quick service and friendly service. Only downside is we were threatened by a man playing pool as soon as we walked in the door, told us we were going to get taken out if we didn’t move out of his way. Cheese curds were the best thing we got. Key takeaway, this place is NOT tourist friendly. Don’t go here if you’re a tourist.

★★★★★ 5.0 Adam B · Jul 2025

Best kept "secret" in downtown Ludington and the best burgers and sandwiches in town! Staff is always super friendly and the wait is never long even on a busy night. Definitely more of a locals place but there's always a mix of out of towners during the summer. Earlier in the evening is quieter but later the bar starts to fill up. Even if you have an aversion to "dive bars" I recommend you check them out!
