Cute spot. Good draft beer selection. Excellent, but expensive French onion soup and chili. Skip the dill pickle chips as they're straight out of the freezer.

It was an hour wait to get seated on a Saturday, but worth it. The whitefish was the best of any fish we had in the U.P. Great staff worked hard to provide excellent service.

The Portside is a favorite stop for dinner when in Marquette. The pizza and calzones are delicious! The outdoor seating area is really lovely, and the service is attentive.

We loved the old school atmosphere with nautical and Marquette-themed decorations. You get the sense it has the same classic look inside that it's had since the day it opened. Definitely a nice lively place to spend some time having a meal.
The downsides were that there was a long wait for a table, our service was really slow (our server seemed to be spending a lot of time talking to another server in the corner while we languished), and the food was mid - at best. My burger wasn't very warm and my gf's veggie wrap was subpar. The breadsticks, however, were really good.
We're glad we stopped in to check the place out, but overall we found it to be overrated and seemingly reliant on its reputation rather than quality of food and service.
Was looking for a place for good pizza and was suggested here. We did order the BBQ chicken pizza, which was good but lacking in chicken and BBQ sauce. For an appetizer I ordered the whitefish spread which came with fresh nacho chips, Excellent. I went back a couple days later for another order. My husband ordered the French onion soup and Chili. He loved both of them. We went a second time where he ordered the fried chicken salad. I had some and it was very good but I felt the chicken should be meatier. Again he had a soup and ordered pea soup. I make an excellent pea soup and was excited to compare. Very good! Now I’m in the mood to go back to maine and start making my Fall soups. Portside was fun and delicious

Very dog friendly spot. Great outdoor seating. The service was very good. For a sea named restaurant with sea themed decor, their sea related food offering was sparce. I was not overly impressed with the whitefish dip...not my cup o tea. The walleye fingers were very heavily breaded. In general, I thought it was overpriced for the quality of the food.
Parking: We parked a few blocks away at a meter spot. .50/30 minutes on a Thursday seemed like a good rate.

I really like this place! Great food and fun people! The place was packed when we got there so we ate at the bar which is a unique experience in itself. You’ll see when you get there. I had the charbroiled cheeseburger which was excellent! My wife had the white fish and salad which was also delicious! I like it so much I went there the next day for the pizza to go and that was great too. The prices were also pretty good! I recommend!
Finally able to visit here. Been wanting to try it for awhile now. Amazing food and atmosphere.
