Parking at Brownies is jacked up I tell you. The cooks are not even old enough to drink beer. Guess I'd eat here if I was coming off a boat starving sun burnt and drunk.

Just left there and I will be back. Always went there for drinks on the patio but tonight I ate dinner there and let me tell you it was amazing. Had the surf and turf and was great. Steak cooked perfect and the lobster was incredible. I will be back soon

I've been here a couple of times, in the past on our boat for a couple of drinks and more recently we drove up to have lunch by the water. I have to say our server who I can't remember her name was awesome, she was beyond friendly and just damn good at her job. I love when you find people in the service industry who just have both the skips and personality to be in the business, it's rare these days. On to the food, I had the fish tacos with some kind of mango salsa. They had great flavor BUT, where is the fish? Literally two 1/2" pieces of fish on the entire taco. Not sure what's up with that for $11.99! So while it was tasty, I felt that for the price it wasn't worth the lack of fish. Also the side of rice was kind of an after thought, they could eliminate that or provide a better side option. The fish and chips that my amigo had were huge and very good. Much better value for the price there, I think the fish and chips were a buck or two cheaper than the fish tacos also. This is a nice spot to sit outside and have a couple drinks. Don't expect the food to blow your mind but it's not terrible either.

NOT AT ALL IMPRESSED!!!!! I am here with my husband and 5 other family members for my husband's and my 19th year yes (NINETEEN YEARS!!) wedding anniversary. Not a one of us is happy with our meals... or the prices. As I sit here listening to all of the complaints around the table I have to say, I'm only giving one star because it's mandatory to put something. So very disappointed! Bad memory for such a fabulous occasion!

Very Dark and Dingy Place!! Absolutely Horrible Service!! We have a table of 6, so it was not a Huge party...Waited 30 min for one appetizer!! 45 min for our food! Drinks came out in a fair amount of time, but orders weren't taken often enough! Nothing was cleared from our table, we had plates and empty glasses that had piled up - Where were the busboys or wait staff??? Food was mediocre at best...and over priced for what you got! I do not recommend dining here!! Go down the street, there are many other restaurants that have much better ambiance and service!!! Gordon Ramsay needs to save the place!!!!

Service was slow but it appeared understaffed so I get it. At least we had drinks. Soups came with dinner, not before..Waitress was nice, joked around with us so no complaints there. She was on top of drinks so I know not her fault for slow food. But the food, wow...pretty terrible. Well, what I had. And I typically do not say that. I'll say "eh, its bar food" or "your standard chicken tender" but this was not good. Split the lobster pot pie. Huge but do not waste the money. Tasted like beef stew. (beef base for seafood?) And the lobster tail was very tiny and very very overcooked. Lobster has a small threshold; its great when cooked right, but if you overcook, its really gross and rubbery. Chowder was all potatoes. Fried pickles with ranch were a good snack.

Will not return. SLOW service for a Monday lunch party of four. Food was not remotely fresh. Everything in this restaurant looked like it needed a triple cleaning. Especially the bathrooms. Not ever again.

Sure its right on the water, but I guess that's why they don't care if they serve horrible food! I had fish tacos with Mahi Mahi. I took one bite and it was the stinkiest fish taste ever! I sent it back opting for nothing else. I have never had a bad fish taco before. I lost complete trust in safe food at that point. Someone else had nachos and they were so salty they could hardly be eaten. By far the worst meal I've had in a very long time.

This place is all about the location and scenery. Off the marina you're sure to see plenty of action here but the service and food are really not the real catch here. As my sister said during our visit, "I've had better fish at bingo"!

I really want to give better than a 3 rating but I can't . The food is decent but overpriced. You don't get much for the money they charge . The atmosphere on the patio is the best in southeastern MI, hands down. You have big beautiful marina to look at . I guess if I had to sum it up , I would say it's a great place to grab a drink and an appetizer . If this place was not on the water , I would likely never come here .

Although the location is great, the food was not. The special was lobster tacos which my entire table ordered. Unfortunately, the tacos were missing some ingredients, one being lobster. The soggy taco shells were sprinkled with small pieces of onion, tomato, cilantro and microscopic pieces of lobster. The plates were so meager they were embarrassing. Very over priced at $20.

Maybe I caught them on an off-night - I'm usually there only for snacks and drinks. I don't expect great value - it's a great location. I got the fish tacos, and while they weren't the worst I've ever had, they weren't much better. I didn't find the seasoning to be appropriate - it seemed more like sweet & sour sauce from a chinese food packet than the "mango chili sauce" promised in the menu. Each of the tacos had a single thumb-sized piece of flavorless, dry fish thrown on top of a huge pile of cabbage. If they keep fish tacos on the menu, perhaps they could be renamed "deconstructed egg roll in a tortilla"?

Excellent fish tacos, prepared with mahi mahi and a melange of other flavors that were absolutely perfect. I'll be going back to order those again. This is a friendly, relatively quiet place with pleasant marina views from all the tables. Parking is tight, however, so valet is an option.

First and last time here. I ordered the chicken nachos and they were a joke. Huge pile of chips and maybe 10 actually had anything on them, very small amount of chicken, and the cheese was dried out on the chips. The waitress also told me they didn't have regular salsa, only pico, yet the food runner brought me out regular salsa. The manager came by to ask how everything was and we told him the nachos were a little pathetic and he agreed, he offered to take a whopping 10% of the nachos only, which saved us a whole $1.10. Less than two minutes later, the table behind us complained that it was taking too long to receive their drinks and the same manager said their two drinks were free. So i get $1.10 off of the worst nachos Ive ever had, and they get a bud light and a pina colada for free? Definitely wont go back.
