Voyageur

Reviews & Tips

  I've been eating here with my parents ever since I've been a kid, and always found the food and atmosphere pretty good.    The main draw is the scenery--if watching freighters chug up the river is scenery-I personally love to watch them.
  
  I've always enjoyed their simple "American" food menu, such as the crab cakes, clam chowder and club sandwiches.  I always seem to be the youngest person eating there-looking over the vast sea of cotton heads. And I swear they've had the same waitresses for the past 30 years!
  
  So after your meal you can stroll the boardwalk, sit and watch boats or cross the road to do some shopping, get some ice cream, or drive south to nearby Marine City where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the various antique stores.  Cripes, this is sounding more like a travelogue than a restaurant review!

  Went to lunch here on a recent visit. Food may be decent, but I had an interesting experience. Decided to try the hot turkey club, just to be different from a regular club. The good - lots of fresh turkey breast, and not the luncheon meat type. Real white meat turkey breast. The bad - wasn't much of a club, no lettuce or tomato, just turkey, bacon, and cheese. Appeared to have been grilled like a patty melt. As I was eating it, I kept thinking something is different about this. Suddenly realized what the problem was, and told the waitress. She told me it should have been made differently and that she would check with the kitchen about that. Then she comes back with the bill, without another word about it. WTF? Oh well, so much for customer service.

  I've been at The Voyageur for lunch at least once every winter for the past 9 years.  Part restaurant/bar/bowling alley-anyone from St Clair likely frequents this place on the regular.  The restaurant/bar offer a fantastic view of the water/freighters/neighbors to the north- though from here I guess they are technically neighbors to the East?
  
  The food is decent - they have a variety of seafood options, though it doesn't seem like any of it is actually local catch.  Service is pretty decent, in an old-school kind of way.  All around, it's a decent stop-in if for no other reason than the view :)

  It was a cold, windy day when we went but the river view was still beautiful from our table.  The service was very good. Our Waitress, Kim didn't let our glasses go empty and was always around if we needed something. There Clam chowder was awesome, a little spicy which I found unusual but good nevertheless.

  I guess I am sort of bias to this review because my friends and I know the owner and he hooks us up with drinks a lot of the times we come in.  This place is a bar / restaurant / bowling alley all in one right on the St. Clair River.  I've never bowled there but that portion of the business does bring in a lot of folks, both old and young.  The bar itself was absolutely packed over Thanksgiving and is just about each time I stumble in there, maybe not so much during the week and non holiday weekends but regardless there is a steady stream of people here.  
  
  Now what you wouldn't know about The Voyageur is that there is a really nice restaurant on the back side of the bowling alley.  Its a completely different character.  Its a place to bring dates, its one of the only nice all around restaurants in town.  The food is really good, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner.  I've been here for every one.  
  
  I suggest you take a little drive around Saint Clair and look at your options.  My guess is that you'll end up at the Voyageur.   Great small town "entertainment complex"....ha.

  The view of the river is beautiful. The prices were reasonable as was the food.

  It's a pretty good place. The food is decent and the building is a little shabby, but it's a good place to sit down and watch boats and freighters go by in the river.

  This is a seafood place, I was not expecting a lot being a vegetarian. But I was pleasantly surprised. Although they only had one vegetarian option, it was great. They have the best pasta primavera in the thumb of Michigan. They also have a nice view.
