Good menu. Both shrimp tacos and meatloaf were very good. Had a nice seat in alcove area which was less noisy.

Sure wish they would update their hours to coordinate with when they're actually open. Nothing like driving 20 miles to come eat here when the Google page says they're open for them to not be open. I won't be coming anymore, I was once a regular.

Ok but not great, service was good. Food was nothing special. To me it's a once and done place.

Love the food, but food takes time to get to the table
Excellent walleye! And the relaxed atmosphere was wonderful. Katelyn(spelling?) is a fantastic server and representative of the establishment she serves.

We had the chicken pita, which was delicious. AC was out due to someone else's stupidity by running into it.

I don't normally rate places, but by returning bad experience after bad experience (grace granted because of how conveniently located it is), I feel I have enough evidence to report. The most recent and final trip to Core Bistro, after waiting an hour for my food, I returned home and immediately put my cold soggy fries in my air fryer so I can finally eat something. Trying to convince myself I didn't completely waste $16.50 on a burger and fries (no drink, just burger and fries). Also on this most recent trip, the inside was so muggy, dark, and hot I couldn't possibly sit and eat food. I went to the porch, but the noise between the road, the two tables sitting out there, and the music was so loud I changed my order to a to-go order. The poor atmosphere made the long wait much worse. (I do believe outside was cooler than inside though.) I had ample time to recall my previous poor visits and sorely regret coming here once again. I typically came at lunch time in the weekdays. I remember having to go to the kitchen to remind staff I existed (at the lunch hour, inside!!). I remember the other time when the burger was so undercooked and watery my bun and fries were soaked in a puddle of red water. That order was remade and the waitress apologized. Two additional times the outside was cooked but the center redder than medium well. I remember another time when I was so stiffed on fries that I laughed out loud when she brought it out-- seriously, it was like 9 fries. Instead of getting more or a discount or anything, I just got attitude. I told her I've been here before several times and I've gotten more fries, but she said that was what came with the meal. Focusing on atmosphere, at today's visit, when I awkwardly slid my knees out from the table too low for the chairs too high, I saw two older men having to do stretches from their uncomfortable porch seats. I like watching the Port Huron livestream, so two points for atmosphere. Terrible interior color scheme and decorations. Food is sometimes good enough that I came back all those times, so the stars for those times when it was cooked and warm. For service, I would say it depends on who you get, but I think I only had the same server on two different instances out of probably the 7-8 times I went here. I consider this review final from me because I have enough data-- I will NEVER go back.

Great food selection. Had the perch dinner and it was prepared perfectly with a light cornmeal crust. The best part about this was the service and atmosphere. I was well taken care of and attentive to for a long dinner. Excellent drink selection and generous pores. Will absolutely come back!
