Blackthorn Pub

Stopped in on a busy Saturday night and luckily we were able to be seated right away. The ambience was very cozy and historic. People weren't rowdy for a pub setting, and it was just loud enough. We made a great last-minute choice for a memorable dinner.Our waitress was knowledgeable and gave wonderful recommendations. We enjoyed the stuffed mushroom appetizer, served hot and creamy. The fish and chips were excellent. Huge, huge beer battered haddock with a delicious runny tartar dipping sauce. I'm still dreaming of it!The Pork Osso Bucco special was outstanding, according to my dining partner. I thought the pastry at the bottom tasted a bit doughy, but the wine sauce and veggies swimming inside were delicious.Overall we enjoyed our evening and experience at Blackthorn Pub, and hope to return sooner than later!

The food is above average, I had a classic Reuben with grilled soft marble and fresh corned beef. Friends enjoyed a blackened chicken sandwich, a Michigan salad and all were finished with compliments. The service was strained. I don't think our server wanted to be there. He wasn't very excited and seemed ready to go home. Chris, it will get better. Will give it another try, hopefully with a little more talkative server.

Great spot for dinner and a beer! Extra bonus points because we have a young daughter obsessed with fish and chips and this is one of the few spots locally with fish and chips on the kids menu.

Great service, food and beverages. Always a go to destination while in the area. There are new specials that look amazing like the sushi nachos so we will be back to try them soon. They are getting ready for the Lions game tonight with drink specials!!

Walked in and was put on a waiting list for 4, it was busy. First time here so not sure if this was normal. It was loud inside When we did sit down, waitress was very friendly and did not seem stressed with the amount of patrons. We ordered our dinners. When we received our dinner my actual plate was very cold but I had cottage pie which is cooked in an iron skillet so it was warm. My son in law got a burger and fries-cold fries I should say. My husband got fish and chips like warm fries, and fish greasy but tasty after taking off breading. My daughter had fish sandwich which was served on a cold plate, awfully cold fries and what was worse the fish sandwich was cold. Waitress came by after awhile and my daughter told her and she apologized and offered more fries but what about the rest of the meal. I thought the bill would have been adjusted some for the terribly cold meal and waiting time. Also order a beer and was given a different selection not what was ordered. But it was a beer so did drink it. So I have a difficult time recommending this place. And I am not sure we will return

Took friends to try some of our favorites. Food was not the same. Heard there is a new cook. The mushroom flatbread was too spicy and the dough was cold and not crispy. The french fries were cold and not crispy, actually a bit on the mushy side. Chicken strips were tasty. Very disappointing.

Food is subpar at best. No one greeted us at the door. We sat ourselves. Nothing special about this place.

Food and drinks are some of the best around! Outstanding burgers. Great fish sandwich. Great homemade salad dressings. Awesome changing specials. Usually worth the try. Foods always fast. Comfortable atmosphere. Service is usually good, they can get pretty busy at times. Never have felt unattended to or forgotten about.

Love their beer selection , and the food is always great. Big fan of their weekly specials. Culinary masterpieces!

Service was good, menu selection is limited, experience was not enjoyable. Rueban with cabbage and Russian dressing??? No ambiance to speak of. Expected better. Company agreed we will not be returning. Personal opinion.
