Order chips and ranch got tortilla chips not Michigan potato chips, fried fish had next to no flavor. The sauce on the fish taco was flavor less. The French fries had great seasoning!

I ordered a hamburger (a special) it was a patty no more than from Meijer not properly cooked and way over priced. The 600 gal fish tank had only a hand full of fish in it whoopie! There was only 1 waitress everything took forever. I'll never go back!

Stopped by for an early dinner and was very happy we did. Awesome fish and chips, crunchy outside and flaky inside. Not dripping in grease. Beer was very cold too. Crystal did a great job tending bar and waiting on tables.

Super nice staff. Cold beer and great bar food. I had a chicken quesadilla that was tasty. My wife had the fish tacos and they were well cooked and tasty as well! There was nobody in there on a saturday night in the winter. So much better than most bar food in TC.

Decent food. Service was bit slow. Very high prices for what you get. Not sure how much of that is general inflation and how much is restaurant greediness.

I don't think they were prepared for a Sat night - Lions game night. The waitresses were trying but I didn't have a drink the whole time I ate my dinner and waited for 20 min after for any type of refill. Burger was good, onion rings were good (would order again) - cod was so so (prob would not order again).

We caught this place in the middle of the afternoon, and they were gracious enough to put on our football game. Just a few people in here but I hear it gets very busy at night . It's an old-school sports bar. Nothing fancy here! Good service, good Bar food, fair prices. I did notice they have a lot of beers on tap. UPDATE... parking on the street in front of this restaurant/bar is not free even on the weekend. Just got the Traverse City $30 citation in the mail. Total BS !

Wonderful experience! Great service tonight. Food was excellent. The pretzels were soft and fluffy, the fried food lightly and freshly breaded. Great homemade ranch and wonderful Mac n cheese. Would love to come back and try more.

Came in on a Friday night. Even though the weather was rainy, I was surprised to see that it was dead. Everything our group had was okay. There is nothing to rave about. Would have thought for a fish sports grille that their would have been a very diverse seafood selection. I did really like the sauce with the calamari as it's different from most places. Good prices and nice atmosphere.

Everything my parents and I had was DELICIOUS!! The coffee is great, the chips and salsa are made in house and we ate them all. My mother had the pulled pork sandwich which she said was awesome, my dad had the fish and chips and actually filled up on them! I got the Crispy chicken basket and ate all my chicken which never happens, I usually only eat one or two tenders at most places but not here! If you like crunchy tater tots then you will love theirs! Waitress was attentive and kind! Wish I lived closer to Traverse City for this place!

Ok this is a mixed review. Had an awful visit. Went there for Mich/MSU football on Saturday. Place was crowded as you'd expect. Beer service slow, but was expected due to crowd. Kitchen service was a hot mess. Ordered simple food like burgers and chicken strips. After 1.5 hours still no food. Eventually walked out. I gave wait staff a tip as not their fault. But Kitchen stunk and Mgmt needs to fix things.

Food and service were great. Bench seating is very uncomfortable.
