Restaurants in Ludington

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

“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.”

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

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

“Incredible service by our bartender Ayriel. We visited almost every night for roughly a month and she was always attentive and friendly. Burgers here are great, drinks are fantastic as well. Highly recommend!”

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

“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 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.”

“Thank you ludington culvers for everything you all have done to help support our childhood cancer campaign...specifically my son Easton's fundraiser recently held there meant so very much to my family and I. Thank you so very much!!!!”

“I stopped in yesterday and got the barbecue chicken sandwich. The flavor was great and the service was quick! I also loved the presentation of the Q on the bun and how the sandwich was wrapped. Those things matter because I was on the go and needed something quick. Price? I paid more for a gross cheeseburger from a fast food chain the night before. Keep up the good work! I can’t wait to come back with the family.”

“Please return your lettuce I love the chicken tacos ☹️”

“Absolutely delicious food and great atmosphere”

“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.”

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

“We definitely picked a busy time and day to go, but this was such a fun little time capsule diner! Our server was amazing for taking care of all the tables in our section by herself. The menu has quite the selection and a little bit of everything! Definitely looking forward to coming back to try some more of the varieties. It was a fun surprise to get a free scoop since we came in after 11, recommend the Michigan Pot Hole!”

“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) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Just stopped in today to try something new ! The Oreo brookie was amazing! 🤩”

“Thank you from the depths of my soul for your fundraising event to support my family. My son 🥹🥺 I cant wait to personally be able to thank you all for coming together for us! It's truly amazing how our community comes together to help people Navigate the worst times of their lives. 🫶🙏”

“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!”

“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!”

“Great Bar, Great drinks, great service & the owner is so nice.. such an inviting and fun place...we love this bar👍💯”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“First time here and we were pleasantly surprised! The shrimp hibachi, California tempura rolls, and TAC rolls were all delicious. The place is super cute and nicely decorated, and the service was wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Tried their "soup flights" they serve on Mondays thru the winter, OMG!!! Best soups (you get 4 different kinds plus a wonderful grilled cheese sandwich) my wife and I have ever had....period. So flavorful and so filling you'll walk away completely taste satisfied and wanting to come back the next Monday!!”

“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 🥴”

“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 ❤️”

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

“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.”

“Yummy ! Great ice cream and sweet little shop🌸”

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

“love that it is a quick in and out except close to lunch it can get pretty crowded since they closed the one downtown, sure hope the put one back downtown, it was so continent for a quick lunch.”

“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.”

“We’re from out of town, but was really happy with the cleanliness of the restaurant and restrooms. The staff was very friendly and patient with our 3 young children, while they decided on their order. The food tasted fresh and you could just tell they cared.”

“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.”

“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”

“Loved the food and drinks. We had a large group and the service was great. Accommodation to everyone’s dietary requirements was excellent and no question asked for making adjustments. After we finished our meal we made our way to the bar for a few cocktails. Wonderful experience.”
