Idler Riverboat & Dockside is a pleasant surprise by the river, offering delicious food and great hospitality. Located on the Black River in downtown South Haven, Michigan, it is a cool riverboat bar and restaurant with a lovely summer setting. Guests can enjoy meals like the tasty crab soup, which has received mixed reviews, and the must-have coconut shrimp. The brisket sandwich with redskin potatoes is described as ridiculous and done right, along with other bar-style foods. The atmosphere is fun and lively, perfect for dates, hanging out with friends, or celebrating special occasions with drinks and dips. Visitors appreciate the good drinks and wonderful ambience on the water, making it a fun experience to watch boats zooming by. The restaurant has a bar scene that many find enjoyable, featuring fresh daily chips and a menu with quick, flavorful options. While parking can be difficult during the tourist season, whether on the boat or on land, visitors can enjoy the good food and pleasant atmosphere, making each visit a memorable experience not to be missed.
