Timbers Historic Bar & Grill of Ludington - American restaurant in Ludington - 320 S James St, USA

This was our first time here at Timbers. The food and drinks were delicious. You definitely shouldn't leave hungry, big portion size. I had the Caprese Chicken sandwich, and upgraded to chili cheese fries. Their chili is so good. My hubs had the fish and chips. He loved it. We tried the onion rings for an appetizer. No complaints there. We also had cocktails. I had the Sparkling Carmel Apple. If you like sweet, this is for you. The Maple Bourbon Smash was good. Very citrus forward. I would have liked a little more maple. My husband liked it. We ended our dinner with to go boxes, and a piece of Carmel Chocolate Cheesecake. We will be going back. 😋

Timbers is more than a restaurant, it is an experience! Food is made with quality ingredients, full of flavor, and aesthetically pleasing. Amazing service. Our server Tammy Y. was pleasant, graceful, and we could tell she really enjoyed her job and took pride in the restaurant and the team she worked with. She was friendly and knowledgeable and when I wanted a cocktail but could not decide, she asked the bartender to come over, we and he made me a special cocktail that is not yet on the menu. It was delicious. We had a hand crafted blackberry bourbon chocolate cake for desert that was absolutely mouthwatering.

Service was great! Chef came out to chat. Smashburger was amazing (love the dill sauce!) and the Chicken and Waffle stack was delicious. Glad to see this place back open after the fire.

Exceptional staff, good beer options and great food. Came through on vacation a while back, the staff was so welcoming! They gave great recommendations on things to do around town and at night. I unknowingly ran into one of the owners around town and he also gave great recommendations on trails to hit while in town. The fish tacos were spot on! Such a great crew they have there. It will definitely be my watering hole when in town.

Zoe & the bartender Renee were so friendly. We came in late & had drinks & burgers. Great service and cute place!

Living downtown in Ludington we eat out frequently. There are 5 local restaurants that we frequent and keep a #1 that we recommend to others. That spot is currently held by TIMBERS. Chef Gino is superb! The food is amazing and service is great. Last night we thoroughly enjoyed our fish dinners. It was all you can eat but the portions were so generous we were full before finishing those. Excellent fish, fries, coleslaw, and homemade sauces and dressing. We have tried many other of their menu items and loved each one. So pleased to have such an awesome restaurant in our small town. Keep up the good work Timbers!

Just like another post that was written, 5 stars is not enough. 10 stars all around. The chicken waffle stack was amazing. So many different flavors. Fish tacos were beyond delicious. We brought up some close family and they took to the burger. They both could not say enough about it. In fact, and I quote, “complements to the chef.” Service was outstanding and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Loved the easy alternative vibe that went right long with the music. No doubt we will be back. And for those who read this and are looking for a great place to dine, please Timbers Bar and Grill. I promise you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I took our first trip up to Ludington from Ohio and stopped in at Timbers a little later in the evening (7/31/23). Our server was Kellee and she was great! We got the Timbers burger and it was the best burger we every had! We stopped by another day (8/03/23) and Kylee was our server and she was great too! We split the Timbers burger and a Cuban. Not to mention the fresh fries! Oh my gosh! So delicious! We have told everyone about it. Thank you for the great food and service, it made our vacation memorable!
