Freighters Eatery & Taproom

Food is full of grease. Over cooked and tasted like packaged old meats. The service was so slow , me and my friends ended up leaving. Our Server looked like he hadn’t showered in days . The bartender , a girl with a long ponytail and do-rag was more concerned with some guy than the bar and I got a hint of rotten fruit when I walked up to get my own drink. I drove from Canton to try this place and we will not be back. So disgusting for a promising place. I wish the management was there so I could have told them in person. Such a shame.

Sat for 15 minutes without server addressing us. Was not busy at all. We were there about 4:30. Decided to get up and leave. None of the staff noticed. Gave our business Raven Cafe instead.

Our last visit there was the absolute best so far. Ordered the deep fried pickles and the ahi tuna appetizer. The pickles were fantastic- served with a perfect homemade tasting ranch sauce and a delicious spicy chili sauce- it has some heat which perfectly compliments the zingy pickle. The ahi tuna appetizer was good- the won ton “cups” were a little too crisp for my taste. The entrees wowed! The salmon served on wild rice with mushrooms and pea pods was perfectly cooked and the salmon was not fishy tasting and maybe the best I’ve had to date. The NY was perfectly cooked and a quality steak.

Service was fantastic! Our server was polite, she answered all my questions happily and we couldn’t have asked for more. Can’t wait to go back!

Our experience was wonderful. A table at the window, watching freighters go by and traffic on the Blue Water Bridge made for an entertaining evening. This is not a restaurant you go for a quick bite. This is an evening experience. Service was not fast, we were not rushed, just relaxed. This is an hour and a half to two hour dinner. Many folks chose to be seated outside. We liked the inside table because as the sun set, the breeze kicked up and there was definitely a chill in the air. Making a reservation helped to secure us a window table although you can still see the St. Claire river from pretty much anywhere in the restaurant. This particular evening there were only 2 servers and we were told the kitchen was short staffed and yet, our server, Monica was great. She checked on us often to be sure our dining experience met our expectations. We ordered the strip steak and the fish and chips, both orders were delicious.

Great Calamari. $5 off happy hour (2-6) and after 8. There is more calamari than breading 😉

Lovely view of the river. Service was very slow, it took a long time for the food to come out, although it was an afternoon and not very busy. I would not go back for the food, not impressive. We are not a very picky group, but the food just wasn't that good. If I knew the food was going to be that slow I would have ordered some apps, but the wait staff did not come around.

Great food, but waitress/ staff were few and far between. We counted the waitress had 8 tables by herself. Waited 10 minutes for any staff come by, Water was empty for 15+ minutes, food took close to an hour to come out. Shame for such a neat location.

Made a reservation and requested outdoor dining. It wasn't available when we arrived so was told we could have a table by the window. We were sat in the middle of the room but yet a table by the window was empty but with a “reserved sign”. I requested to move there because we had also reserved but was told “No”. We were there 1.5 hours and that table sat empty the entire time. The food was mediocre at best. Will be dining elsewhere the next time I'm in Port Hurston.

Stopped in for lunch and view, both were great. Can't wait to stop again.

Beautiful view, comfortable facility, good food, and excellent service. Enjoy your meal while you watch the freights navigate the St Clair river and float under the Blue Water Bridge.
