“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 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.“

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

“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!!!!!!“

“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.“

“The food was awesome, it is a hidden gem in Ludington, if you live there you should go, if you are planning a visit to Ludington don't miss the chance to enjoy a very unique place with great service, awesome food and delicious desserts.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“
