Restaurants in Ludington

“We live in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and have dined internationally. This is a fabulous restaurant which could hold its own in Chicago, NYC, or any major city. Charming ambiance, excellent food and wine. Our server Jason was attentive, friendly, and efficient. The crab cakes and pecan coated trout were sublime and the homemade lemon pie to die for. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We have always had a great meal, comes out fast and hot. Value is good!”

“We checked their website and it stated they were open. We drove about an hour and a half and when we got there they were closed. They need to change their website hours of.operation. We have dined here last year and.it was fabulous. A little expensive.”

“In a world where so many businesses feel fake, manufactured, contrived, however you want to describe it, Starving Artist is an incredibly refreshing and authentic place.

All outdoor (some covered) seating; the beergarden is outside of a barn behind a house on a country road, a few miles outside of Ludington. The beer itself is outstanding and punches way above its weight class; I would argue it’s among the best I’ve had in Michigan. Some classics like a great cream ale, and some inventive, creative options too.

Andy is crazy nice and just a fun guy to chat with. Cans generally available for purchase and the beer is all super fresh. Hops growing around the beergarden too. Support this place and keep amazing spots like this going strong forever!!”

“Great breakfast, friendly staff.”

“Stopped in to try the pizza here at Ludington Pub. It is a local hometown pub. The service was very good, especially considering there was only one waitress covering the whole bar. She did a fantastic job. We tried the pizza and also had the cheese curds, both were very good. For drinks I had a mule special they had going on, it was a bit heavy on the ginger. I also had a whiskey sour that was very good. We'll definitely go back.”

“Delicious cold brew and lemonade of the day. Cute kids items in the gift shop. Happy family outing.”

“The Prime Rib was fantastic. Everything was delicious. 🤤”

“Went there for the first time today and got the Sweet potato loaded tots and they were delicious! I got the “small” order and it was a hefty serving! Highly recommend this food truck. Can’t wait to go back and try some of their other food. 😋”

“Awesome food ! Awesome establishment!! 😊”

“Love the garden too! Great place to hang out.”

“WOW Best Fries of any West Michigan Culver's!!!
Burgers cooked perfectly, diet root beer in stock, PERFECT.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair access and tables.”

“Cluck Bucket catered our wedding and the food was incredible! We could not have asked for a better spread and our guests went back for seconds and thirds. We love Cluck Bucket!”

“I went into Applebee’s with my family the other night and the whole experience was AMAZING! We were greeted by a gentleman named Garrett, he was very polite and worked with us to find a table very kindly. There was a bit trouble finding the right table as it was very busy, but a manager (I believe her name is Janna) helped us very kindly. She was sweet and made sure that we were at a table to fill our hungry bellies ASAP. Such a respectable and kind person. As we were sat and ate, our server Melissa was extraordinary! She made sure we had refills when we needed them, made sure our food was out on time and was extremely kind through the whole process. Love this Applebees and the workers there!!!!!!”

“The place is looking awesome new owners really fixed the place up and turned it around!”

“Love the food! Their breakfast is a favorite of mine! Hubby works thirds in the factory so hes always bringing me food! Dinner meals are amazing as well. Big portions”

“The staff was friendly and extremely helpful! They helped me with a custom order due to my dietary restrictions and the drink I ended up with was one of the best I've ever had! (5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“The food is so delicious that I sometimes think of getting in the car and driving hours for some chicken and potato’s. I feel blessed every time I see all of the smiling faces of this family run business. I had to laugh at the comment from the woman below. Why don’t they have fried chicken??? Why doesn’t McDonald’s have steak? Because they don’t. The menu at Cluck Bucket is much more healthy. Perhaps you can find a KFC close by.”

“I had the nachos and husband had the shrimp po boy both were delicious! Service was outstanding and we enjoyed the patio with our pup. Fabulous experience, we will be back!”

“They feature some great Michigan-brewed beers & ciders. Bartenders are always knowledgeable about what they serve. Thumbs up to The Mitten!”

“Such a delightful and delicious option after an afternoon at the lake. The location has a lot of history and memorabilia to look at.

The entire staff is friendly and fantastic. We watched Andrew whip up “Pig’s Dinner” and other shakes and sundaes. We tried everything from sandwiches and salads to onion rings and chili dogs. I had the nutty turkey salad. It came with lettuce, tomatoes, hard, boiled egg, and pecans on top. I had it with the honey mustard dressing. It was fabulous. Our server Natalie was beyond wonderful handling our group that took over the counter area. It is pretty popular so there can be a way to be prepared, but you can always get ice cream to go.”

“We had the best dinner Friday night. My husband had the prime rib and I had the caper chicken. Both were outstanding!! Our waitress was the best. We live out of town and this was our 2nd visit here. Our waitress made us feel like family and the service was the best. We love Scotty’s! Our favorite place when visiting Ludington ❤️”

“The food was very good and the waitress was very friendly. We had the smothered chicken dinner and the liver and onions dinner. They were both very good. We will be back again soon.”

“very good burgers [Original] very good burgers”

“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.”

“If you’re looking for a good old dive bar this is it. Old school bar but clean not disgusting didn’t have any food this time but what I’ve had in the past was good.”

“I ordered a pizza tonight & had it delivered. The lady who took my order was very nice & professional. The young man who delivered my order was also pleasant. The pizza was wonderful & I will order again.”

“Roasted - street corn on point as always. I love their bowls but didn’t get one this time and tried some other stuff in the lot. Weiner Wagon - Ordered a Chicago dog and just assumed they had it dialed in. No sesame seed bun, peppers, bright green relish, or peppers. The dog and bun were good though, but basically a Heinz relish and mustard dog. I didn’t ask or read the menu so maybe I screwed up but wasn’t a Chicago dog but only charged $5. Wooden Paddle - ordered 1b of wings and it was $14. They were cooked great and the Korean BBQ sauce and Yum Yum was nice. Wings were small but by the lb it is what it is, about $1/per small wing. I’ll be back tomorrow to try out some other stuff.”

“great atmosphere met some good people here !!!”

“had their pad thai on 4/20 and I still want more 🤤”

“My favorite place to eat😁. Will be there Wednesday🤪”

“Friendly service. Discount added for proof of military service and different events (first Tiger game)”

“Food is served at improper temperatures & later that night I had food poisening.”

“Great service and amazing, authentic food. My go-to is the chicken tacos. The soup of the week was chicken and potato and it was incredible. So glad this place is so close to home.”

“The grinders are really good, but it wouldn’t kill you to hire a new delivery driver. He was incredibly rude and annoyed that he couldn’t find our house, claiming he contacted my dad but a call was never received 🥴”

“stopped in for some 🍕! they offer a thin style crust, we ordered a 12" pep and a 16" mush, sausage, bacon. pizza was great! cool old bar on a main street. thanks!”

“We have been here a few times. Most recently for a Hawaiin Blizzard and Peanut Butter Sundae with chocolate Ice cream. Excellent friendly service and fast completing order. Great tasting!! We recommended this place before and recommend it now!!!!!”

“This is the #1 favorite eatery when visiting Ludington. Food is always so good! I'm amazed it's still there & hope to visit soon. It's been too long away from my favorite town on the whole planet.”

“Right now the service is very slow but I believe it’s due to limited employees. Food is still great just gotta not be in a hurry”

“I read the reviews here before choosing a spot in Ludington for our anniversary dinner. I was impressed with such high reviews, and we went last night. We were seated downstairs at a booth, and our waitress was extremely kind. The atmosphere was very relaxing. We don't like crowds, and while there was clearly a lot of fun being had upstairs, we were enjoying the quiet on the first floor. Once we ordered our food, it only took 15 minutes to arrive at our table, and the combination of flavors was heavenly!! We each ordered a different burger and requested that they be each cut in half. We both got to enjoy the succulent flavors of both combined with the most amazing fries I've ever eaten! We upgraded to the garlic parmesan fries, and they were worth every penny! We will DEFINITELY be returning.”

“Great experience minus the hostess. Didn't realize we needed a reservation. She was kinda rude about it and snubbed us to the side for people who had reservations. Asked of we could sit at the bar she said yes. The bartender and staff were great. Food was on point.”
