It was a pleasant surprise going to Mike's on the water. As I am a Charlie Brown and Snoopy buff and being a charter Member of the Charles Schulz Museum, I was blown away by the collection of the restaurant and the history of how it became this large of a collection 22,000 pieces. The staff was awesome the food came out very quickly and it was excellent. I can't wait to take my girlfriend there! Steve, Clinton township Michigan

I have heard good things about Mike's on the water and was looking forward to trying them out. 7/26/25, the atmosphere was great, and I loved the old look of it. Waited at the host desk for about 3 to 5 minutes before I asked another guess could you order from the bar, she was great with giving directions and giving information about the place. So, I ordered at the bar 2 perch dinners, $23 each. So, I was expecting it to be really good, based on what was told to me by someone who referred me. Got my food and looked at it before leaving. It looked good. However, it lacked an aroma of cooked fish. Not letting that deter my anticipation of enjoying what I was told would be good. I sat down and began to eat. This definitely wasn't worth $23 dollars. Not a fan of the tartar sauce, tasted like nothing more than just mayonnaise. The perch was completely tasteless, with no seasoning at all. The french fries were edible, and the coleslaw was the only high point of this $23 dollar meal. I expected fireworks from this $23 dollar meal and got nothing more than dollar menu thrills.

Was initially disappointed with the menu. No crab, lobster, major seafood for a spot over the water. No desert. Settled on shrimp and mashed potatoes. Was pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed the sun and a few drinks. Spot is a little small for a crowd. Plan to wait. Also can get cool if the sun is blocked out. Me, I come for the sun. Would recommend + come back. Just don’t drop nothing. The water will be unforgiving.

You guys got to go see this Snoopy collection! And get a Maurice salad! Ask for a shaded spot if it's super hot and be willing to wait for it. Also go for a walk on the other side of the dock where boats are parked next to the restaurant, all the way to the water. It's beautiful and a fantastic date spot! Mine keeps talking about it.

Don’t miss the Clam chowder! The perch was ok (Too much panko for me), tasty fries, coleslaw has relish in it. 5 pc shrimp cocktail was fresh.

Absolutely loved watching the boat owners pulling in and out on the river. The shaded patio seating was just the vibe we needed to enjoy great talks, laughs and a few drinks. Great for a birthday celebration with just a few friends. Hope you post your experiences ☺️

This restaurant is a cool, coastal stop vibe that you should definitely check out at least once. The service is fantastic. The staff are so kind and treat you with respect and honest care. The atmosphere is great for all ages. They have a bar, a little secret museum with all things Snoopy, and nice outside areas. Pictures and decorations cover the walls. The prices are decent. The food is about average and has a lot of potential. Definitely something you should check out.

Cool place to eat. Right on the water. There was a little wait but not too bad ,(20 min maybe. No bar upstairs ) Always fun to watch boats come and go. It would be easy to miss this place as there are few signs to direct you (use your GPS). The food was acceptable. Burgers and fish were good according to my husband and son. The fried mushrooms were tasteless. Everything weeks was really good.
