Timbers Historic Bar & Grill of Ludington

Amazing experience for my girlfriend and her dad and my family. The waitress made it amazing. Had lots of tats grateful for her.

The food was good, service was okay. I spent maybe 4 minutes waiting at the door to be seated when the place was empty.

The gyro and chips were excellent! The service was very nice, the atmosphere is comfortable, and the rock music they played was awesome.

We arrived this evening a party of 6 to have dinner. The hostess said it would be 20 minutes before being seated. We asked if we could have a drink while we waited. There were at least four empty tables. The hostess said she’d go ask if we could have a drink while we wait. They told her to tell us No! We were dumbfounded and couldn’t believe they could not even accommodate us for a drink while we waited. REALLY! We left and will never go back and let others know how terrible our experience was!

Wow! Absolutely terrible experience. When we walked in, we asked if we could sit out back on the patio or on the roof. The server with the pink hair and nose ring said "well it's kind of busy" and walked away. What does that mean? So we picked a high top table. It was hot as heck in there (no AC on an 88 degree day) and all the servers, bartenders and cooks looked dirty. You could see the sweat dripping down their backs through their shirts. The "pink" server had no idea what she was doing, no personality, and couldn't get our drink order right. The bartender wasn't happy with pinkie, and after waiting 20 min for our drinks, we finally walked out.

This place was not open on Monday for dinner after 5pm. It looks like they may only be open Friday and Saturday. This was after labor day also. Wish they would have updated their hours before i drive all the way from Silver Lake.

If I could give this place no stars, I would. We called ahead to see if they took reservations for a party of 12. They don't but she said there's no wait. We showed up at 5:30 on a Saturday night to a mostly empty restaurant and we were told the kitchen couldn't accommodate a party of 12 (6 of which are kids). They don't want your business. If a restaurant can't accommodate 12 people when not busy on a Saturday night, then I wouldn't trust them for any other time.

Had the small steak prepared medium with mashed potatoes. Lots of flavor.

We were in Ludington for the week, checked out different bars/pubs. Went in Timbers to watch the Michigan football game and get lunch. If you want a medium steak, better order rare, because our steaks were well done. We ordered our food before realizing they could NOT get the game on any of the three tv's they have. Bunch of crap. If we had known they couldn't get the game, we would have left BEFORE ordering our food. They must not believe in air conditioning either. They had fans running, that were sitiing on the floor, but no air. WTH? We saw a group of girls (at least 6 of them) walk in and walked right back out. Wish we would have left with them.

Wow, unbelievably terrible service…. we arrived 30 min before they were done serving food for the night and the staff made it very clear we were not welcome, it was so bad we walked out. We wound up going to another place just down the street and our experience was amazing… glad we chose to leave. If you do decide to eat here and get the waitress with pink hair and nose rings… RUN!

The whitefish dip is awesome. We had great service on the deck with a view of the water.

Burger and fries were quite good. Service was a bit spotty.

With only a few occupied tables, we waited at the host stand for at least 5 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. We were then sat immediately.

The soft drink my daughter ordered was served in a dirty glass, which left us uneasy about the cleanliness of the restaurant, and their food prep.

Not a local, stopped by while on a day trip. My husband and I were happy to be able to be seated quickly and order was placed quick and correctly.
There was items missing from order that we did have taken off our bill without issue.
Problems were mostly kitchen related, we ordered appetizers that ended up being brought to us at the same time as our meals so by the time I was able to make it to my meal my fries we cold and soggy but they charge $3 for fries instead of chips so that was a bummer. I did order a chicken sandwich which wasn’t bad but the chicken was bland and there was too much balsamic on it that made the bun soggy also. My husband got. Cuban I think and that was actually really good.
I did ask for a box t the end of my meal and didn’t get it so I just left without leftovers since I wasn’t really happy with my experience anyway.
If I come back any time soon I think I’d try elsewhere but this place isn’t bad either.

Not sure what's going on here. We went to eat outside and there was a VERY limited menu. Nothing that even looked appetizing so had 1 drink and left. Broken chairs, could here the kitchen staff under the patio swearing and talking poorly.
Use to be a nice place. Hope they figure it out.
