The Portside Inn

Last night was our first time at the Portside and was pleasantly surprised. The host, waitress, bartender and other staff were great. Evidently, so is the chef, as our food was great and portions and prices were great. Great menu with a little of everything and every meal they brought out that I peeked at , I wanted.  I wish we had a place like this in Escanaba.  
   I love a good burger med. rare with a nice char on the outside and boy did they deliver. I consider myself a food snob and in-home chef, and I could not do better myself.  I will definately be back next time we're in town!!!    Thanks for a good experience!!!
Slammer!!!

I don't understand the comments about it being difficult to find good food in Marquette. We have had wonderful luck. First time at the Portside, wife had a fantastic Reuben on dark rye with about a bag full of potato chips, husband had a juicy, tender, tasty barge burger with swiss and fresh mushrooms. Oh, did I mention the $2 pints of all tap Michigan microbrewery beers? The sandwiches were about $15 total.

Next night, fish fry night! A favorite to all those who hail from Wisconsin or Michigan. Three nice chunks of cod in a wonderful beer batter and about a kilo of very nice french fries with a little cole slaw on the side. $15 for two, $20 if you wait until dinner and get 6 chunks of cod. It was very good! Did I mention the $2 pints of Michigan microbrew tap beer?

This is a nice brew pub with pro bartenders.

I have to mention Tu Kaluthia in the public library and the Landmark hotel ($2.50 well drinks and $12.95 prime rib on Sat.) just to point out two other great food troughs in Marquette. The downtown area is full of other choices, most look very interesting. Don't give up on this lovely quaint college town!

We love this place. Great little side deck for a bite to eat or a beer while waiting for your table. Yummy breadsticks, pizza, nachos and my son loves their onion soup. Local watering hole feel  Go...you'll be happy you did.
