“Thursday night is Mexican night and the fiesta chicken nachos were delicious! Ryan, Tanya, Tammy, and Cassey were crazy busy and did a great job keeping it together and keeping the customers happy. Food is great, staff is great, drinks are cold.”
“The bar was beautiful. Went during February so we got the chocolate fondue it was absolutely adorable and delicious. Our server Michelle did a great job and really made the experience great. Pasta was amazing as well, drinks and specials were amazing! Definitely would recommend.”
“Ok, TLB is brewery #263 for me. This was my second brewery for today before heading off to my hotel and it was definitely a great stop. I always try to review a brewery based on beers alone but sometimes it's hard. Sometimes I stop in and the vibe is just not good, or the service sucks, but neither was the case here. Great vibe, friendly staff and patrons. And as I will get to in a moment, the beer was great too. This is a small brewery with a one barrel system and a small tasting room. It's size belies it's impact though. The beers were really good, although I will not review them in depth individually. Sorry but I ended up chatting with Jameson, the owner, as well as a couple of patrons at the bar. The beer highlights for me were the blueberry and the barrel aged red. SWPFTD would enjoy the barrel aged red. In fact it might have made her PD if you know what I mean. You probably don't but if you don't take the time to figure it out you never will. Your loss... Of course your loss could be your time in figuring it out. This is going to be a short but enthusiastic review. I would definitely recommend stopping in at Third Life Brewing if you are in the area. Of course it would be really hard to stop in if you aren't in the area. In fact I'm hoping to stop in again since I missed picking up a TLB sticker for my RV fridge which is covered in brewery stickers. Maybe Jameson will read this and reach out to offer up a sticker. (Awesome name by the way...) If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.”
“A really nice pub in downtown Manistee.We came for dinner after shopping and this seemed like the nicest Pub in the area. I think we were correct.The staff were really friendly and helpful. They were almost full and they sat us right away. The food came out very quickly as well.You can tell this was an Irish pub at one time, it still mostly feels like one, but with an Americana twist.They have a nice beer selection of local craft brews as well as a good mix of domestic and imports.The food was all really good. We had apps, sandwiches, meatballs, and Mac and cheese. I could recommend any of them.Highly recommended.”
“What a darling little gem of a cafe! Tasty food and very nice staff, our order yesterday took a while, but we never felt neglected or forgotten! Good job to their team!”
“Excellent product, excellent staff. This is Manistee's best coffee shop. It kicks Biggby and Trophies in the dirt by simply offering a higher quality product. I'm a fairly regular customer and I can tell you that every time I've visited, I've experienced nothing but awesomeness.”
“Went again for the Friday fish fry. The food was exemplary, again. Forgot to upgrade to sweet potato fries, but was surprised at the quality of the french fries with potato skin still on. This restaurant/bar exceded my already high expectations and I would recommend it to anyone.”
“Beyond a 5 star rating the food is amazing!!!! We ate at 2 different restaurants in manistee this weekend and nothing tops this place!!! I will definitely be back and be bringing my family with me! The prices and the food are perfect!!! Thank you painted lady saloon!!! Can't wait to come ”
“Awesome lunch with family. Fish and chips, shrimp and fries, loaded nachos were all excellent. Service was friendly. View was fun watching golfers tee off. Good value for the price.”
“One of the best Dairy Queen's we've been to. They are so friendly and welcoming. They do a great job at getting the orders out quickly. Every time we've been there is a line waiting and it goes by very fast. Great job!”
“Great neighborhood drinking bar for locals off the main strip that is more than happy to have tourists wander in. Very friendly and attentive bartender and great drink prices. Lots of basic fried bar food options good for snacking while you drink but not so much a place to go for food only.”
“Best hang out ever...first place Dennis took me. Have met the most amazing people there who became not only my friends, but family. I'll always have such memories there.”
“We made reservations for a party of eleven; the Bungalow was ready for us. Our waitress was top-notch, service could not have been better. The food was excellent. Five stars all the way around.”
“What a great place!!!! unbelievably fun!!! Top notch machines, friendly service, and excellent food!!!! this is what Manistee needs someplace for the kids to gather be social and play good pinball!! don’t hesitate, get your friends and family together and check this place out!!!!!!Kid-friendliness: This is the Atmosphere children should be raised in interaction, social and not staring at their phones”
“Good food positive experienceVegetarian options: Lots of veggies to choose fromKid-friendliness: Seating for familiesParking: Concrete handy ramp off handicap parkingWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“We stopped here on our way home and was pleasantly surprised by one of the best meals we have had in a long time. The dishes tasted better than they looked. The laid back high end atmosphere was only made better by the exceptional service. I can't wait to stop in again the next time we are in town.”
“Their Manistee IPA is great, closest place that has it is about 45 minutes from me, but it was worth picking up when I was in the area. Best IPA I have tried so far.”
“I've always loved McDonald's. It is convenient when you want something quick to eat. Kids love the toys they get when we go there. Just kidding. I got no kids. I get the toys for myself. Happy me!”
“It's always great when you go here. I like to get a seat in the back so I can get a nice view of the river while I'm eating. They have a big variety of drinks to choose from as well. My favorite place to go in ”
“Loved the thin crust pizza!! !! Excellent waitress(wish I remembered her name) extremely pleasant place. I will definitely go back again.Kid-friendliness: Place was very neat, clean, respectable, pretty dead fer Saturday!”
“Honestly, it reminds me of the Little Caeser's of 15 years ago. The may not have a pizza ready for you in the hot-n-ready section, but they make their pizza quickly and prepared well. Other LC's I have been to the crust is dried out and the dough taste frozen. I have never had a bad pizza here. Its better in taste and value than ”
“We go to Manistee once or twice a month from Ludington. We always make a stop here because it's the best taco bell and A&W in Michigan. The manager is amazing at keeping the place clean and customer ready. I don't know how the food is better than Ludington, but always worth the drive.”
“Order online. Waited about 20 mins due to having a good size order. Got there which took me about ten minutes or so. Walkin and food was still not ready. Dakota the guy behind the counter said they were making fresh chicken and it would be done within 5 minutes even tho he told the manager they need guys he didn’t matter to them. Dakota tho made it right gave me a free bucket of pop of my choice and made sure all my food was fresh and hot. So Dakota thank you for making it an enjoyable experience. You’re a value there yiu should be the boss.”
“I experienced this location through, drive-thru & had really friendly service. While it did take a considerable amount of time to get the food, it's all fine. Also, it seems there were only 2 people working the combo KFC/Taco Bell. Not their fault people love this place and it's busy!”
“Some of the food could have been fresher, however I realize that keeping a buffet line filled can be a challenge at times as you never know what item people are going to go for next.”
“Finally! Finally a Wendy's my husband will return to!! He said it's the BEST he's had from. Wendy's! Food was GREAT, service was TOTALLY GREAT (and funny, thanks y'all) ... We will be back!!!”
“generally have a good experience anytime i go in there. i have been helped in ways some other stores wouldn't. I love the body armour drinks. at one time they were resituating the coolers and I was told to ask the cashier and they would get them for me because they were not on the shelves at the moment. I would buy them daily. that little extra thing they did makes stopping there worth it ❤”
