Bridges Waterside Grille Reviews | Michigan City Restaurants & Bars

0

I first learned about Bridges last week during the Chili Tasting in Michigan City. Stopped in to check it out yesterday. Had cream of broccoli soup which was average. And a grilled ham and cheese. It had a great combo of grilled onions and a spicy mustard that worked well. I like the funkiness of the place and the enthusiasm of one of the girls who was cooking. Not a bad choice this time of year.

After hearing about this place I thought I'd try it out, BAD CHOICE! I don't normally bad mouth but my experience was horrible. We arrived and waited for (1st bad thing) 20 min for someone to acknowledge us, 2nd bad thing (waiters and waitresses were looking at us and cleaning - clean tables!), 3rd bad thing - when we were finally acknowledged we were told to move over and wait while they seated 2 Caucasian women... Then they had to clean a table for us... After 5 more min we left... (maybe we were a little dark for the place) I try not to think this but as I stated, 20 min then we were asked to move aside so that 2 Caucasian women could be seated. By the way, the place was not packed or busy... Needless to say we won't ever come back...

Fun atmosphere, amazing coconut shrimp and pulled pork and the brisket was outstanding. Just a fun time after a day on the lake. You can enjoy a game of bags while you wait for your food.

Bridges was satisfying but not the first time.The spinach artichoke chip dip appetizer was great. However, when I asked what was on the Bridges steak sandwich the waitress accidentally left out the fact that there was worcestershire sauce on the sandwich. I had to order a second sandwich after I couldn't eat the steak sandwich. I got a very good chicken strip sandwich. The whole meal took a long time.

While waiting you got to look at the river not making the whole thing bad, and the food was good once you got what you wanted.

When we are in Michigan City in the summer, this is a fun outdoor dining spot. They have a pretty large menu of appetizers, sandwiches and seafood. The large but unremarkable salad was $6.99. A salad size plate of fried oysters was $10.99 - a bit much for a small plate. There are lots of sandwiches in the $8-$10 price range.

Good selection of beer and foo-foo drinks.

A loud siren goes off every 15 or 20 minutes signaling the spinning of the rotating railroad bridge. It's mildly entertaining.

If you have a problem with stairs, don't go. The bathrooms are down a steep flight of wooden stairs.

The service was pleasant but at $78 for 3 people including 4 beers and tip, I think it is kind of pricey. We'll go back because we love sitting at a waterside table and watching the river traffic.
