Phil's has been on my list for months. Originally dropped in for a cocktail last summer, saw the lines gathered for dinner and that peaked my interest. Took my wife for a late lunch there on the weekend. We were able to get seated quickly...as it was February and after 1pm. The lunch menu has a number of options. We tried the perch sandwich and the blackened burger. Both sandwiches were large and delicious. Plenty of perch, perfect local beef. There was an ample portion of potato wedges to round out the meal. We get to Saugatuck with some regularity. The food and service at Phil's certainly warrant a return trip.More

Stopped in for lunch with a group of eight. Winter storm warnings outside, but inside great food and excellent staff. Drinks were good and and food was above average. Had some homemade potato soup and that itself was excellent .

Great menu with nice ambience. This place is always packed, so we were advised to either eat early or late. We chose to go at 5pm and were seated immediately. The food combinations were delicious. I had blackened salmon with an arugula, apple and fried...sweet potato salad , while my husband had potato crusted walleye with a Dijon cream sauce. Good stuff!More

Great service & food! We went after a local recommend Phil's and we were not disappointed! Busy, even on a Sunday night, we waited 45 minutes, but it was worth it. Staff was friendly and helpful, food was on point and delicious!

We absolutely love Phil's, not only for the friendly, casual atmosphere and outstanding food, but for the beloved bartenders and servers that treat everyone as friends. Phil's is always busy because the food is spectacular and reasonably priced. However, it is very much worth the...wait -and you can always head to the bar for a drink from beloved (and very competent) bartenders Jimmy and Erica who treat everyone with friendly efficiency (and make a killer Cosmopolitan!) No one seems to mind standing elbow-to-elbow in this friendly, noisy, delightful establishment and I highly recommend it! It will become one of your favorites!More

Rating actually zero. Was never able to eat there. Online description indicated that this restaurant was open. No note on door. Others disappointed as well. Don’t trust Trip Advisor for accuracy. Always call first.

Best salmon I’ve had in forever!! The Apple, sweet potato, arugula salad was divine as well. Ate at the bar. Great service. Fun atmosphere. Crab cake on the side was too bready for my taste.

Stopped here for lunch. It was a very busy atmosphere. We were told there was a 20 minute wait. We got in after about 10 minutes. We were seated and got our drinks right away. The tables are covered in paper and my husband and...I enjoyed doodling while we waited for our food. I ordered the crispy chicken sandwich and it was delicious. The chicken piece was huge and hung off the already large bun. It was so juicy! It came with a side of wedge fries that had a nice seasoning. My husband got a burger and enjoyed it as well. It was not a typical round burger it was more oblong and larger served on a ciabatta roll. So good!More

We loved Phil’s! It’s a bit unassuming from the street, but once you enter, it’s just a fun, great ambiance! Inside feels very cozy and the service was great. We sat at the bar for drinks one night, then lunch another day and the food...was so good. Highly recommend!More

No, unfortunately they don’t take reservations. You put your name in and wait. If you arrive fairly early, 5:30 or so, the wait shouldn’t be too long.
