5 Best Seafood Restaurants in Ludington

“Sadly for all, they’re only open from mid-May through whenever they run out of fish on Labor Day weekend. Last year (2025) they were closed by Friday afternoon.“

“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 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 ❤️“

“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.“

“Almost didn't come due to some reviews but the other places were busy. I was in the mood for a good steak and they certainly made a good ribeye. The sides were excellent. The rest of the menu looked delicious as well. The prices were reasonable for fine dining. The staff was attentive and cordial. I would definitely come back the next time I am in town.“
