About Freighters Eatery & Taproom

Freighters Eatery & Taproom provides a casual dining experience with scenic views of the St. Claire River, passing freighters from Lake Huron, and the Blue Water Bridge. The restaurant has been updated with new furniture throughout the bar and dining area, creating a fresh and inviting atmosphere. Guests can enjoy sitting outside to take in the beautiful surroundings, especially during relaxing evenings. The menu features items like the zip chicken, blackened fish, and fish tacos, which are praised for their freshness and delicious flavors, with fish tacos being a standout favorite. The entrees, such as steak and the hand-carved station, receive praise, and the deep fried pickles and ahi tuna appetizer are highly recommended, with the pickles served with a perfect homemade ranch sauce and spicy chili sauce. Service is friendly and attentive, with staff checking on guests often, even when the restaurant is short-staffed. Reservations help secure window tables, offering great views, especially during sunset when the breeze adds to the experience. While service is generally good, some reviews mention that drinks are not always refilled promptly, and there can be slight delays in serving food. The restaurant offers a relaxing atmosphere with a focus on quality food and scenic views, making it a worthwhile spot for an enjoyable evening outside of busy holidays or special events. Its location within the Doubletree Hotel contributes to a slightly higher price point.
