Wounded Minnow Saloon - Bar & grill in Dowagiac - 234 S Front St, USA

If I could rate this restaurant as a whole it would be no stars. I ordered a captain and coke and the coke had absolutely no carbonation. The beer was also completely flat. When we told the waiter, he said he had already told the bar staff. The waiter was nice but didn't really seem to know his job. We ordered the salad bar which was $11 for a 3 ft salad bar and had to ask for a plate or bowl every time we wanted more. And they had to bring little cups of dressing to the table. It took at least 30 minutes to get our food. The meat on the nachos was cold and the cheese wasn't melted. I asked to speak to a manager and whoever it was didn't even get up off her barstool to come and talk to us. Then we were charged for drinks that we returned due to being flat. Don't go here! You will definitely be disappointed.

We went here an hour and a half before we had an appointment with family. The food in the pictures looked good and we wanted to sit down as a family. Our drink order was picked up pretty quick (beware, they charge for water) but it wasn't long before we realized they only had one waiter on staff. It took 30 minutes for them to take our order, we ran out of time waiting for our food and had to leave. I wish I could tell you how the food was but we ended up going to Wendy's because we were starving. They seemed to only have one chef on duty too! The waitress was nice and comped our drinks but, an hour and a half in a restaurant with no food just isn't worth it.

My bf and I stopped by for a couple drinks last week. The service here is wonderful. The atmosphere is so comfortable and cool. All the awesome fish in the walls make it really interesting. Definitely want to come back and try some food 🙂

It's hard for me to rate because we never got to try their food. We had an hour and a half before our appointment somewhere else and thought that would be plenty of time to eat lunch. We waited and waited and then we finally had to tell the waitress that we had to leave and that we were sorry. We even offered to pay for the food and take it to go, but it still wasn't ready. We felt bad for the one server there. She was doing a great job and from what we could tell, the food looked delicious. We just didn't have 3 hours to eat lunch. We were bummed.

Food was OK. Service was slow. But the big surprise was when we received the bill. They charged us $3.00 for glasses of tap water and $1.00 for the lemon slices for my wife’s fish!!!! Where else in the country do they charge for tap water? And I bought a beer, too. There was, of course, no warning of this on the menu. Just one bid $4.00 ( plus tax) RIPOFF! Stay away from this place!

Very poor lighting at dinning tables and walkways. The food is usually very good depending if the regular cook is on the clock. Burgers patties are tiny and had more onion than meat. Seafood is a gamble every time. The stuffed mushrooms with toasted French bread is a brilliant recipe. If you enjoy fried basket dinners and smaller portions you would expect to be paying for gormay meals. Drinks are strictly measured and exotic request don't ever get replicated twice the same way. Wider variety of cold beer available and regularly stocked. Cover charges for a local DJ or one Man bands and groups is always a problem. Friday night young crowd is always a hit and miss as far as attendance. I don't recommend bringing child into a bar, pub, or establishment serving alcohol. But if you must bring them make sure to be seated away from the bar and pool tables.

Went to lunch here. The pretzels were outstanding. Nachos were good pretty big serving for 1/2 order. Burger was really good bun was grilled love that! Waitresses were friendly and made sure we had a great meal. Great place to do ale the hubby to. T.vs abundant. Go blue!

Had a bad experience, wait staff and bar tenders were friendly. But were overwhelmed. We had to give our order 3 times. We ordered the Number 1 item on the valentines special menu the ribeye and was told it would take 30 more minutes (after being there an hour and a half giving our order for the third time.) to thaw before cooking. After being there for 2 hours we still did not receive our salad. We asked for our bar tab and the food was finally ready. When we got the steaks they were horrible and the potato’s were dry and over cooked. We ended up leaving our food there, the gift certificate payment was kept and we and picked up Burger King for our Valentine’s Day dinner! We came there from a distance because we won a certificate from a charity event to try out a new place for a valentines date and it completely ruined our night. I suggest if the owners can’t plan to staff for a national date night they come in and help their self!
