Good Harbor Grill

The food was pretty good. It was a little pricey, but have to expect that during tourist season. Service was good and friendly.

Average food, slow service. Nice atmosphere for a family meal though. The Maryland Crab Cake sandwich was good but over priced.

Good Harbor grill was a small simple place. We had the ribeye steak special and we were delightfully surprised at how good it was. Flavorful, tender, and juicy. And if the pastry puff with vanilla ice cream and fudge is on the dessert menu — get it! Service was great too. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Stopped for lunch here and ordered chicken and rice soup with the turkey and avocado sandwich. I think they must roast all of their own turkey. It was thick slices and really fresh. The bread that they use for the sandwiches is really delicious. I enjoyed how the sandwich came with blue and yellow corn chips. Yum! They are closed for the season as of October 19^th.

The Turkey Avocado sandwich was fantastic, but the service and overall atmosphere was just poor.

$ 15 for a small bowl of chili! Really? Save your loot and find a different place to eat…

Very tiny and kinda noisy place but excellent food. They have some unusual breakfast offerings including a Vermont scramble with bacon, tart apples, and sharp white cheddar that was wonderful. Husband had a German omelet which had sausage, Redskins, and sour cream and he loved it. The prices are a little high but not out of line in this tourist town. The wait staff were friendly and attentive.

This is a great place to eat breakfast at very quick not a long wait about 30 minutes! Waffles are to die for :) my family also enjoyed there food and service was friendly great place to eat

The GHG is an upcoming institution for Glen Arbor. The owners, Ann and Brendan are amazing folks who often sit and chat with patrons who are enjoying their food. The soup/​sandwich combo for lunch on the patio is great.

Best food and service in Glen Arbor! Chili, burger, crab cakes, salads, homemade soups… can’t go wrong.

Well — dinner was good but breakfast was horrible. Weak coffee, cold food and very bad service.
Dinner was good and consisted of homemade salad dressing and fresh whitefish entrée.
Would not be my first choice in GA.

Great atmosphere, great food and a friendly waitress, she was always keeping our beverages filled.
You truly get what you pay for, I will recommend this restaurant to my friends.

This is a nice restaurant, they have a Caribbean type theme going on which I do not get as they are located on glorious Lake Michigan! I have eaten here for lunch and brunch, both times were average.
The prices are a little steep, but on par with Glen Arbor standards.
:Begin syrup rant:
On the brunch menu they charge an extra 3.75 (or so) for real maple syrup. I’m sorry, that is just whack and (arguably) morally reprehensible. Basically don’t get waffles or pancakes unless you are okay with paying an extra 4 bucks for legit syrup, or you can eat that artificiality flavored, thick, corn syrupy concoction (in which case, please try the real thing ((NOT HERE THOUGH (((unless four dollars means absolutely nothing to you))).
:End syrup rant:
SO yeah — the food is okay though, I got a chorizo Benedict on my last visit and was not offended by it. I do hope that one day Glen Arbor can get some Traverse City quality brunch spots.

I had such high hopes for this place based on several recommendations from friends. My mom ordered the soup of the day-​new england cheddar and turnip but it was flavorless and lukewarm. Her side salad was good and the bread was freash. I ordered the grown up grilled cheese with Havarti, tomato, and onions on their grilled homemade bread. It was big and filling but again wasn’t very warm and needed some more flavor to make it stand out. It came with store bought round tortilla chips. Really, store bought? For a place boasting an eclectic, organic vegetarian friendly menu nothing we had seemed that special or eclectic. Our server was a little on the rude side and had the attitude like she didn’t need to work but was anyway.

We had a decent lunch here. My crab cake sandwich was actually awesome. My husband had the turkey avocado sandwich which was very mediocre. The sandwich looked great and was quite large. When you bit in though you’d be hard pressed to tell me what you were eating. It was very bland. The corn chips served with the sandwiches were just out of a bag. The service was quite slow during the lunch rush but if you get a table outside its a pleasant wait. I’d probably return here but maybe not during their busiest time.

We had lunch here today after doing the dune climb at sleeping bear dunes. Glen arbor is very close to the dunes, which I was relieved to find since I worked up quite the appetite climbing the dunes!
This place is on the main drag in glen arbor, with a convenient parking lot behind the restaurant. It is a small but cute little place. The service was okay (I think our waitress was busy when we first came in but then the lunch crowd started to leave as our lunch went on and she became friendlier as the meal went on). I thought the prices were also fair.
I had the crab cake sandwich. It was very tasty! I saw in other reviews that they make their bread in house. I could definitely tell! My boyfriend had the chicken sausage gumbo, which he said was good but not as spicy as he was expecting. He had the grilled chicken sandwich which he said was fine, but a little lacking in taste. We split the cherry raspberry pie a la mode since we saw so many reviews about it and after all, we are in cherry country. It is definitely worth ordering. I was especially impressed with the pie crust. I am usually disappointed by restaurant pie crusts since they’re usually too flaky and flavorless, but this crust was almost as good as my grandma’s homemade pie crust, and she’s been making awesome pies for over 60 years.
Bottom line: great place to have lunch while you’re in the area!

Fantastic lunch place. Crab cake sandwich amazing. Black bean burger amazing. Kid had grilled cheese. Lots of selection with beverages. Great post-​Dunes meal. They make bread in-​house.

We ate here for the first time today. Great atmosphere and really friendly staff! It was hard to decide what to eat, a lot of great options.
I had a bacon cheese burger which was amazing, yum. My son had beef chili (they have 3 different kinds of chili). That was good. My daughter had a turkey avocado sandwich which she said was good. My husband had the Greek salad with blackened chicken on top. That was delicious! I couldn’t try the sandwich because I have an avocado allergy but my husband said it was great!
Then we had dessert! We had homemade cherry/​raspberry pie ala mode. All the desserts sounded good, another tough decision! Anyway the pie was… good. But not big enough to share with my daughter

We had lunch here a few days ago and dinner today. Having eaten in most places in the area, this is, by far, the best food. The service is very good also. The blacken whitefish sandwich is super. We had a Indian vegetarian entrée, halibut entrée and chippino entrée. All were outstanding. The desserts of cherry raspberry pie and strawberry rhubarb pie were super. Really enjoyable atmosphere.

If there’s one word I can say about Good Harbor Grill, it would be DISASTER. If I could give them negative 5 stars I would.
We walked in at 9:30pm and were seated after they set up the table. It was a large group and everything seemed fine; but then the problems started…
As I mentioned it was a large group and they split us up across two tables. Totally understandable and not a problem. I’ll come back to this one later.
The menu actually looked great. Tons of variety with American, Asian, Italians, all sorts of variety. I was really looking forward to it. So we order and everything is still seemingly fine. First she brings out the drinks. My diet coke was completely flat and the sprite was just plain sickening. We tell her and she says, «oh, it must be out of syrup — do you want anything else»? She brought me a new diet coke. Hey… it happens. Everyone runs out of soft drink syrups at some point, right?
So next, the waitress brought out some bread for the table. Well, I literally mean for THE table. Even though we were sitting at two separate tables, she brought out only one basket of bread and expected us to share across tables. So strange… The thing is, I was in such a good mood, I really didn’t think anything of it. I thought it was weird, but we asked if we could get our own bread and she offered to bring us some. So OK, no harm, no foul. Same for the salad that’s supposed to come with each entrée. Just one bowl to shared across tables — again she agreed to get us our own salad.
Next, she completely mixed up everyone’s salad dressings. People who ordered ranch were given lemon. People who ordered the cherry vinaigrette got ranch. Just a complete mess. When we pointed that out to the waitress, she brought out the correct dressings and practically THREW the dressing on the table. I’ve never experienced such an attitude at a restaurant. It was really pathetic. One of my friends is really pissed at this point — and he’s ready to go complain to the manager. Me and others were talking him down. We were all there to have a good time and figured we could just make it through the non-​sense.
Anyway, the rudeness continued and I actually said to our table that these guys must be trying to rush things because maybe the kitchen is closing soon. Little did I know… so he gets even more fed up and asks about the manager. The waitress points out the owner, who happens to be sitting at one of the tables eating and drinking. My friend politely told the owner that the service bring provided to us was rude. You can never imagine how the guy responded. His response was, «maybe that’s how you SHOULD be treated». You people show up here just as we’re about to close and don’t order on time and this and that. He started going off at my friend instead of apologizing. This guy was piss drunk and probably the worst person to be running a restaurant.
My friend’s like, we didn’t know you are about to close. Nobody said anything about that. Nobody informed us that the kitchen was about to close. He then has the balls to blame us for not reading the closing time that was written on the door. So that’s OUR fault? Why the hell do you seat a large party of 10+ people only to provide them crappy service if you can’t handle it? If you’re not willing to serve the customer, then say it up front. Complete BS.
These people are greedy SOB’s that just saw the dollar signs they were about to make off of us. They thought they could make a cool $ 250 and treat us like crap. Well my friend that was talking to this guy had enough and said, we’re walking out. We walked out to the sound of the old drunk yelling at us as we left. I have seriously never experienced anything like it in my life. I’ve all over the country and this place has definitely set a new low (BY FAR) for the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant.
Restaurants are a service business. If you don’t know what customer service is, then you should shut down and go bury your head in the sand dunes. Don’t waste peoples’ precious vacation time. You are the worst restaurant in the country. Be proud of that title and shove it.
