Red Dock Cafe

What a fun spot! So glad we found this place. Plenty of seats by the water in the sun or under cover. Lots of decorations and funny signs and photos. Like the sign says cold beer, loud music and NASTY bathrooms. Boats are able to pull up and grab drinks and eats. Staff are friendly and funny! Can't wait to come back in a few weeks. Cash or cards accepted. Ample parking.

This is an incredible place, we had fun. I had the hippie punch and it is wonderful. Ot was an absolutely goregous day to be enjoying toddies on the dock. They have tables with and without umbrellas, music and offer food. I had a veggie wrap and chips and it was tasty. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to get back there. You best visit before 9.24.21 as do sadly they will be forced to close permanently (owner of the dock will no longer lease to them) 😪

Heard about this place on Under the Radar. The atmosphere is very unique. It is right out at the end of a landmass on Lake Michigan with all of the seating on a dock. The parking lot is total unkept and the walk out to to the restaurant a little confusing. The building itself is eclectic hodgepodge of signs with a mix of slightly run down building. They like to blast their version of music, but if you sit out towards the end of the dock it's fine. All of this somehow adds charm to this place.

I ordered the Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwich with a side of noodles. I was with my Aunt who was the one who heard about this place. She ordered an Otis Sandwich. The sandwiches are baked so it takes a little while to receive. The 1st thing I have to say is the sandwiches are HUGE. My pulled pork had a ton of meat in it. Felt like 2 ibs. The sandwich was Spectacular, every last bite was super juicy. The sandwich was light on the bbq, you mostly tasted the pork and thats okay because it is amazing pork. The bread it's served on is also amazingly good. The noodles I got were served cold and were good, but also ehh. I took home about 2/3 of it and nuked it later and it was much better. My Aunt also loved her Otis Sandwich. The sandwiches are about $12 with no side, however the sheer size of the sandwiches make it well worth it.

The service was mostly good. It was very attentive, just seemed lackadaisical. I think that's were some people get the rude from.

Overall this was an easy 5 Stars. That was one of the best sandwiches I've had in years. Would I return? You bet I will.

The atmosphere is great. It reminds of the days spent in Fort Myers Beach, eating at Junkanoo on the ocean. Not fancy but very comfortable. Come in shorts and sandals. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The Chicago style hot dogs my wife and I had were very good. Beer is served in cans( I would prefer beer on tap) Rum punch was excellent. Highly recommended Red Dock Cafe!

So fun! A little off the beaten path but well worth the trip. Basically sitting on the water with great views in an authentic island bar setting. Music playing. Nothing fancy but good service and a great place to eat and hang.

Great spot for drinks and music! Has plenty of free docking spots for your boat too!

Was in need of a quick bite to eat before boating. They have great sandwiches here. They have spots for boats to park and drop into eat. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Nice views on the dock, friendly staff quick to sevre good drinks!

Best water views in Saugatuck/Douglas! Also, very good food, excellent drinks and fantastic service. Not to be missed when visiting the area.

Love this place. Great vibe. Good food and music. Definitely worth a visit.

Great food and service is excellent. It is located at the end of an old dock. Tricky to find but worth the walk!

Great for boat and people watching. Easy to tie your boat up to hop off for a drink and lunch. Bands on the weekend. Very Margaritaville vibe. Plenty of parking. Gets very crowded on beautiful summer days, but the staff is good handling the crowd. Best water views!

Excellent views, rum runners for days, beautiful people and a friendly staff. Live music is the way to go. Literally a dock where you can pull right up and enjoy a few drinks before setting off into the sunset. You can't go wrong!

I LOVE this place. It is such a hidden gem in West Michigan. Go here on a hot day and feel like you're in Florida or Mexico. The service is great and the vibe is so relaxed. Long dock goes right out to the water. Boats pull right up for drinks and a snack. Live music!

Why is it last yr being open??? Is there gonna be new owner? ashame ,it We as a highlight we enjoyed coming to town,,,didn't get a chance to eat ,closed early, would love to go back, enjoy sitting looking at water having a few drinks! Help was all nice,,,thought I was in Florida ,it was relaxing,,,, rum punch price should be 5,6 dollars though,,,,,,,but they were yummy , I actually looked up a recipe how to make them when we got home I'll pretend I'm at the red dock haha

Very busy place! Eclectic vibe with beachy atmosphere. Friendly staff and good food.

This should be on your bucket list. Walk all the way out this Pier to arrive at a tiny divey bar on the water. Great lake views. We watched sailboat races here. Very Deadhead kind of funky fun place. Restrooms are present sorta but not clean. Snacks. Minimal selection. Main point here is hanging out at a bar on a Pier. Can even boat in. Friendliness level varies greatly visit to visit. But still- Go!

Love it.. sad it will be the last year 2021.. a must see this summer

Place is a slice of heaven on earth...if God served cold beer and rum runners, of course. Unlike most places on the water they actually make an effort in the kitchen. Menu is limited but fantastic execution and tasty as hell

Funky waterside dive bar. Great drinks and great sandwiches! Key West atmosphere. Not fancy. Boats tied up next to the picnic tables. All outdoor seating.
