Nice Sunday brunch spot. Awesome location, great prices and value.

Great service. Excellent crab cakes and drink selection.

This establishment is great for any occasion! Relaxing with friends or dinner out with the family! The food and service are amazing! Highly recommend

shrimp and grits was amazing for brunch, walked in at 1040 on a sunday and was told they were not taking any walk ins till 1200, went online and made reso for 1100, and then went back in was sat right away.

The food and service was very good. Interesting location and even though "on the river", not the best or scenic views. Overall it was a great experience and if in the area again, would go back.

Service was sloooow. fish and chips were awesome but rest of food was just ok.

We were disappointed at first because I had requested outdoor seating (for obvious reasons!), but when we arrived, they said it was first come first served for the patio.
Fortunately, the table the four of us received was large, and, because the door to the patio was opening often, well-ventillated.
I wish I could remember the name of our server on that evening, but he was adorable and so accommodating. (Trim, blondish, glasses.)
Excellent Old Fashions, wonderful tomato and garlic soup and iceberg wedge salad.
My husband said the fish and chips was "okay."
Overall, because of the setting by the water and the excellent service we had an enjoyable time.

The setting is fabulous and the menu is fantastic. Unfortunately, our food was cold when we got it; good, just cold. Most frustrating was that our server was inattentive.

While visiting Michigan wine country we stayed at The INN at Harbor Shores in St. Joseph, MI and had dinner at the restaurant on the property - Plank's Tavern - we started with soup - my husband had the Chicken Tortilla and I had the Tomato Garlic -then we had the pecan crusted walleye and the wedge salad - everything was excellent. We will definitely be back and do recommend staying and dining at this facility.

We were very disappointed with our meals, the service, and the experience overall. While my food was so spicy I could barely eat it, my husbands food was bland, it could have passed for toast. We did enjoy the appetizer and our drinks, and the view is lovely. But, overall, for what we paid (an app, 2 drinks, 2 meals, and dessert cost us almost $100), there are better places.

Menu included specials - nice selection of cocktails. Loud hum from the bar. Heaters on the porch at dinner. We enjoyed the mussels with chorrizo and onions, the seafood pot pie and we were stuffed. Very fun.

Food was wonderful - highly recommend the seafood pot pie. Server checked on us once, never offered more drinks. Disappointing.

Jazz music on Thursday night was a great touch! We had the sea trout and scallops and both were very good. Service by Alicia was good too.

The food was great and our server was awesome we really had a great time

We were seated outside and had no wait due to our reservation. It was beautiful out and we got our drinks quickly. The food took 1 and 1/2 hours though. My food was room temperature when it got to me and tasted just okay, which the price was high for what it was. The staff “compensated” our long wait time by giving us our bread for free (a $5 value). We were visiting from out of state and am sad we used up a whole night for slow service and expensive, mediocre food.

Pro: Great ambience (lake view, lighting, noise level). Main entrees where great.

Cons: Took around 45 minutes to get our entrees after ordering them. The Mexican corn on the cob was waterlogged and nobody asked how was everything. Took awhile to get appetizer plates after appetizers came out.

Service terrible, food great

Great dinner! Tables spaced nicely for Covid. Waiter pleasant and prompt and the food and drinks wonderful. We done here often and will return again soon!

Food was great but overall service should be elevated!

We were looking forward to sitting outside to eat while overlooking the water and we were disappointed this did not happen after we requested outdoor seating 1 week before the reservation date. The hostess was rude and said there was no outdoor seating at that time and she would not even allow us to wait for outdoor seating. Then the waiter was not friendly and didn’t even introduce himself to us and my salad was oozing salad dressing so much it was sliding out of my mouth as I ate it and all I could taste was salad dressing. At this point, I was ready to leave but we had drove such a long way to spend the day in st Joseph and eat outside. The waiter brought my 4 yo son a cup of water not in a kids cup like the other waitress did for the table next to us. Very disappointed with this whole experience.

Our brunch was delicious! The outdoor patio is lovely, though the chairs were not super comfortable. Overall, we had a nice time. My only complaints would be that the tables need to be spaced apart more to comply with social distancing, and our waiter absolutely ignored my need for a drink refill. He actually filled my husbands coffee twice while my iced tea glass sat empty.

Unfortunately, we had a rough first experience at Plank’s. After being seated, we waited anout 30 minutes without being greeted. I went to ask the host if a server could come by and get our drink and appetizer orders. After finally being seen by our server, we immediately put in drink orders and also ordered the Breads and Spreads appetizer (which turned out to be the best thing we ate all night). Those took a decent amount of time, but not terrible. After placing our order for our meals (Fish & Chips, Scallops, and a Black Bean Burger), we waited about 45+ minutes for our food to arrive. The food was just okay... nothing to rave about. We decided that although the service was slow, we’d stay and order dessert. We ordered Ice Cream with a Bourbon topping from Journeyman and a slice of the cake. We waited over 30 minutes... for ice cream and pre-made cake. While we were waiting for our dessert, we noticed the table next to us had been waiting a LONG time for their food also. After awhile, the back of the house manager came out to let them know the kitchen was out of their food. Keep in mind, it had been probably 45+ minutes since they placed their order... and they were JUST informed that the kitchen didn’t have their food. I’m not one to write a negative review based off of one experience, so I’m going to keep an open mind and hope for a better trip if we choose to visit again.

I had great food and great service, unique and local ingredients. Would recommend to friends and family.

Had a reservation. Hostess had no clue ab it!!Was out anniversary-notated under our reservation, again hostess had no clue!!
Best thing ab this experience was the kind waitress who was very engaging and efficient.

Great food, although no need to smother corn with cheese! Everything else was excellent!

The view of the water and the general ambiance is very pretty! We enjoyed our brunch on a perfect fall day. The waiter was professional, but there were a few slip ups in the service such as room temperature coffee and no sauce serviced on the shrimp and grits. The waiter corrected the issues and it did not detract from our enjoyment. The food we ordered was shrimp and grits and eggs benedict. The portions were large and good, but not amazing.

Celebrating a birthday . The food was fantastic, ambiance was great. Our server was a little bit overwhelmed but we managed. We wrapped up our brunch had a couple more drinks near the water. My young sons picked up the tab as a birthday gift for, which I might add was very happy. One thing I will say is the manager approached me towards the end asking me if why I didn’t leave the serving a bigger tip! How dreadful of him! Our bill was over $200. Mind you I said my two very young sons treated me and paid the bill. Now this manger put my sons in an embarrassing position. How disgusting of this manger and appalling of this establishment. Never have I ever been anywhere where I had such an awful experience. I told my sons they did nothing wrong. Never again will I dine at this place. How rude after having had such a fantastic brunch. This manager should be retrained in hospitality and customer service.

We made a reservation at 4:15 for dinner - early. When we arrived there were several open tables like 4 tops, 2 tops etc. The hostess insisted that we sit next to the wall and not near the railing - yet there were lots of open spaces. I explained we reserved early so we could sit near the sun. She wouldn't budge at all. Disappointing when you reserve in advance.

Everything was superb from the food and service. We did have a wait but never in a rush and the place was very busy once again.

Delicious food and an awesome view of the harbor

Great restaurant. We will definitely go back. It was worth the 2 hour drive.

Our server Heidi was amazon!!!

Place is great and food was good. Service was disjointed...food took a while and took forever for drinks to come out. It was a comedy of errors with the service and a few of the wait staff but nice outdoor area with heat lamps!!

Great outdoor experience. The tables inside were a bit close together for my taste and not all customers chose to abide by the mask policy. The food was very good and the service was good as well.

Wings were exceptional, but rest of food just meh, especially for the price. Our table was often ignored after initial greeting. I guess you’re paying for the view? Probably won’t go back with so many other good options in the area.

Had a great dinner with family Friday evening. Food and service was great.

Very friendly staff and food was excellent! I would go back tomorrow if we lived in state.

Great service, excellent food, and enjoyable atmosphere!
First timers, definitely will return!

It was a good experience

Awesome food, drinks, view, and service!! We will definitely be back when we are in town again.
