Freighters Eatery & Taproom

Second visit. Enjoyed both times. Food was very good and the service was great. Looking forward to my next visit.

We sat outside, it was beautiful looking across St Claire River to Canada and seeing the freighters coming in and out from Lake Huron. Absolutely will come back when I'm in town for work. My colleagues and I enjoyed the margaritas, ahi poke appetizer, zip chicken, blackened fish, and the fish tacos. I would order the fish tacos over and over again at this restaurant. They were fresh and delicious, best combo of flavors!

We had a reservation and were seated on time. Waiter took our order in a timely manner, however my husband's soup was delivered way before I received my salad. We waited a good amount of time for our entree, which wasn't bad, but no one came to refill drinks. Food was delivered and very good. Husband asked for ketchup for his fries and there was ketchup all over the outside of the ketchup lid. (Definitely not something I would expect from here.) Overall the food made it a worthwhile experience.

Fantastic views of the BW bridge & passing freighters. Food was ok; a little on the pricey side, likely because the restaurant is located within the Doubletree Hotel.

Been here several times, although it has been awhile as recent visits we have had food or service issues. We noticed the menu had changed so decided to give it a shot again. Our waitress was very nice, although it took almost 20 minutes for anyone to come to our table, with her apologizing that there had to have been a miscommunication as she thought it was someone else's table. We had not realized that you had completely taken off the Mac and cheese from the menu which was disappointing. We ordered an appetizer and our waitress had to come back and apologize that they do not serve that item anymore along with at least 3-4 other dishes, so why was it still on the menu? We ordered our food and several minutes later she again came back and said they ran out of the clam chowder I ordered right before she got to it. The salmon on my salad was overcooked. We were considering a dessert but then told the one we were looking at was also out. So overall the evening was frustrating and very disappointing. It is unlikely we will return.

Experienced the new soup and salad bar. It is awesome. The soups beef vegetable and cream and potato were delicious.

Food was delicious. We got the buffet. Items were replenished when needed. The OJ could have been attended to a little better. We had a reservation but people were sitting there already. Our table the previous night was perfect so we decided to make another one. We were told a table could be cleared off but we decided to take a different one. If we would have known people would talk loud at another table by us, we would have waited. Wait staff needs to still meet the needs of the ones who get buffets. Would go back even with this issue.

What a beautiful and relaxing establishment! The food was delicious and the view was amazing!

The servers were excellent and friendly, but the food was terrible. We ordered fried calamari, which arrived cold and rubbery. The server offered to speak to the manager about removing it from our bill. The manager ultimately decided to take $5 off our total.

We also ordered Fish and Chips and Parmesan-crusted whitefish with a double order of vegetables. The Fish and Chips were soggy, and the Whitefish was overly salted; one bite was enough to turn my stomach. On the positive side, the vegetables were delicious.

The management seemed indifferent to the guests and tyrannical towards the staff. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Freighters accommodated half off my son's hockey team with their parents this weekend. They did a great job getting 20ish of us in last minute. The food was great and amazing atmosphere.

Service was good. Sarah was kind and attentive. We had a great seat by the window and food came out timely. The short rib was as dry as a bone. Barely edible. For the price I expected much better.

It's a big sandwich, it's double stacked and delicious, the fries were fresh, house ranch was very tasty and the service was great highly recommend if you're in the area.
