My wife ordered the ribs. Came out cold and undone. Sent them back told us they would do another one. The same one came back, still cold and undone. I Ordered the Reuben. Did not meet my expectations. Didn’t even finish it.
The best thing about this place is the service! The good wasn't bad but it wasn't the best either.
The veggie burger was delicious!
The wait staff was busy and we had to wait too long for our food. After addressing the issue they went above and beyond to make it right. I would recommend giving them a visit!
We enjoy blu moon! We’ve been coming for years and love the sushi! The only thing that is a little annoying is how often we get turned away for take out orders. It seems bad for business turning away customers, especially locals who support your business year round.
honestly i saw another review from 10 months ago that said the place smelled like urine and thought to myself “wow, that can’t be true” but somehow it still smells like urine 10 months later. the outside is sooo cute i was so bummed that the inside atmosphere doesn’t reflect the exterior at all.
when we entered we were first confused as to which entrance to go to, there was 2 wide open doorways and then a staircase to the rooftop (didn’t see any wheel chair accessible options to get up there). the rooftop/staircase looks to be a part of the building but has a different name and pin on google maps and a big sign that said something like fusion, sushi, etc. so we thought it was a completely different restaurant at first. we entered through what looked to be the main entrance and were shocked to see it was completely empty, dark, dingy, and smelled of urine. the downstairs staff were friendly, but were completely lost and confused. the host mumbled buffet a couple times and then couldn’t find any menus and then led us to a rock hard booth seat with a sticky table. he then said that they weren’t serving the menu downstairs and it was a buffet. we saw no buffet… and there definitely wasn’t any signage at all. another staff member then came to our table and asked if we were here to sit upstairs and we agreed to instead.
the upstairs staff was lovely and super nice! our waiter was super sweet and efficient.
as for the food, it was mediocre at best. to be a fusion place but have mexican food, sushi, american, etc. at least one of them should be nailed or on point but my partner’s ribs were dry and they put hardly any bbq on them. mind you they were also out of burger buns and their signature calfornia bbq sauce by 5pm which is regular dinner time and it was extremely slow. i got sushi, and the options were limited. upon reading other reviews i opted for a roll that didn’t have raw fish in hopes i wouldn’t get sick. they do not have the basic california roll, but thankfully our server was awesome and she helped customize a roll that was similar! sushi was okay, their spicy mayo was really good though. it came with a side of edamame but it was ice cold and unsalted.
for drinks my partner and i both got virgin strawberry daiquiris, which was the only blended drink option able to be made virgin.
after dinner we ended up going to use the bathrooms… just don’t. it was extremely dark almost like it was supposed to hide the horrors in there. according to my partner the men’s bathroom reeked of urine and the floors were soaking wet with god knows what. the women’s bathroom didn’t smell bad but it was far from clean. there was feces smeared all over the toilet and there is 2 stalls so i was forced to pick the better of the two. it was empty in the resturaunt and the staff was sitting at the bar… could we have cleaned the bathrooms…
i’ve never really left a bad review but just felt i needed to share because the outside is so cute it’s almost misleading 🥲🥲 i’ve worked in the food industry for several years so i know what it’s like.
Service was slow and server seemed uninformed. The food was just not good. It just seemed as if the chef didn't seem to know how to prepare vegan foods properly. Burger bun was dry and hard. Seasonal veggies were onions, peppers, and whole cloves of garlic in noodle bowl. This was not my first time there, and options keep disappearing off the menu and quality keeps declining.

Atmosphere was nice. Service was okay except the server spent 15 minutes explaining the menu, despite the fact I’m a grown man and can read. The food was sub par and over priced. Wagyu burger was okay but had wilted lettuce and sloppy tomatoes $18(+$4 with fries). Walleye Sammy $16(+$4 with fries) it was extremely bland and average. The New Orleans pasta dish was terrible, saturated with oil and gave me and my wife immediately stomach pain. We ate at the ludington pub around the corner the day before and the burgers were bigger better and cheaper. Blu moon is not terrible but I definitely will never spend a dollar here again

I have lived in Ludington my whole life and the blu moon in the last few years has been declining rapidly. With hairs in my food multiple times and this pathetic lie of a “white fish” sandwich.

Great food and service! We were so hungry and Blu Moon did not disappoint. The Burrito was full of flavor. I have a favorite place up north for wings and I'm a wing snob but these sirracha wings were amazing ? please excuse the partial photos, we'd already ate before we remembered to take photos! BTW the sushi looked amazing..next time for sure.
