Mateys Restaurant

Love this place! We stopped in with our 2 kids and had a great time and a phenomenal meal! Melissa was our server and we absolutely loved her! She was super attentive and friendly to our kids. The lower deck area is the only option for family dining, but with the overview of the lake, it was perfect! Can't wait to go back!

Probably one of the most disappointing restaurants I’ve been to in a while. We stopped here for lunch after a morning at the beach due to the easy drive from the beach. Cool deck atmosphere but limited seating areas for families and not the cleanest place. Waitress was friendly. The food was the biggest disappointment of all. Pricey and terrible quality. My meal didn’t come with all the sides listed on the menu, my own fault for not realizing this until after we were done. I ordered the fruit cup side option for my child’s meal and was given a small container of maraschino cherries, like they just grabbed them from behind the bar. I’ve had better meals at fast food restaurants. This may be a good place to enjoy entertainment and drinks but the food definitely needs some work.

Should’ve darted when the mozzarella sticks came out. They were too chewy and tough. Most definitely sat under the heat lamp on the line too long. We ordered a soft shell crab sandwich and a perch sandwich. So…here we go. NO SAUCE. On either sandwich. Just the battered fish and crab and buns. Some sad looking tomatoes and pickles and onions on the side. We were going to ask our server for something, anything…but we didn’t see anyone until it was time for the check. My friend ordered the chips instead of fries, thinking that they were going to be housemade or something. But it was just an unopened bag of lays plain chips tossed on the plate. That wasn’t on the menu. It absolutely should be. Could barely taste the meat through all the batter. I struggled to finish the crab, it was just all breading. The perch wasn’t that much better. The buns were stale and old. Service was fine so I left our server $10 on $40…not her fault, she didn’t cook the food. That’s the only reason for 2 stars. But this was probably one of the most disappointing meals I’ve ever eaten. Definitely regrettable.

If you want to go to a unique place that sits right off of Lake Michigan then visit this. The food is always tasty and they even made us our own Cherry Cokes. We love coming here!
