The Island Grill Club House

We tried to go here a few weeks ago but it wasn't open for the season at the time. So today we got in (Friday during the day - I understand evenings are insane) and the situation is - you park way down where you first turn off of M-29, and they shuttle you down in a golf cart. We sat up on the top level and it just happened that the owner was being interviewed by the local news right next to us - so we heard the whole story of how this came to be. There is parking for 50 boats, jet skis, kayaks etc. the atmosphere makes you feel like you are on vacation somewhere. They have fake palm trees and the whole shebang. The view is amazing and we picked a beautiful day to sit outside under an umbrella table. I ordered the fish tacos and there were 3 tacos and it came with one side so I chose the cole slaw. My food was very tasty and I had one I brought home because I was full. My son ordered the Key Largo Burger and it was 1/2 pound with smoked mozzarella, pineapple, bacon and house bbq sauce. It also came with fries. He absolutely loved his food and ate every single bite on his plate- which literally never happens!! I also enjoyed mine and would definitely order it again. He ordered a drink call the painkiller and accidentally knocked half of it over but he like it so much he ordered another one. Our bill was $65 so it's a bit pricey but you pay for the location and atmosphere. It was such a beautiful day and the view was perfect!!

Service and food both were great. Excellent drinks and they were very accommodating for a large group! I loved the live music on Friday nights which was the perfect ambiance being right off the lake! makes you feel like you're in Florida I'll definitely be back you should give them a try!

On the way home from this restaurant , my girlfriend and I were trying to think of "one word to describe that experience". Words like "horrible", "horrendous", "pitiful", "wasteful", and "despicable" was what we came up with. We sat down and ordered drinks- they actually were pretty good. At face-value, I thought we're in for a good time. At the same time we put in our drink order, we also put in our food order. Popcorn shrimp and a Hawaiian pizza. I was really looking forward to it. I added jalapeños on the pizza because I like spicy food. Over the course of the next hour, my date and I wondered, "Did the waitress forget to put our order in?" Finally, she brings out the pizza... She brings out just the pizza and says that the shrimp will be ready in the next couple of minutes. First off, if you have a table of two, why would you ever bring just one persons food? To me, for a table of two, you bring out both meals at the same time. It's common sense... Anyway, please look at the picture of the pizza I was given. It is sad. You can clearly see in the picture that this thing was cold. I took one bite, and not to my surprise, I could tell that pizza was made 30 minutes ago and left under a heat lamp. So bad. Some time later, our waitress came back with the shrimp. I sent back the pizza, asked for a to-go box for the shrimp, got the bill and we left. The shrimp was good, but unfortunately we ate in my car because we both could not fathom spending another minute at this place.This was a miserable waste of money. Also, the menu is very bland, nothing worth getting excited over. The shrimp was good, but horribly overpriced in comparison to the rest of the menu. I do recommend going here still. It's a cool place, I just had a horrible experience. My girlfriend and I made a memory at least. We will be able to look back at this date and laugh.

The ambiance is 2nd to none as you feel like your in Florida somewhere which is very cool. The food is ok wouldn't say it's the best, but service is good and the rum runners are outstanding here. So to make a long story short, hang out have some rum runners and enjoy the atmosphere as they have good bands too on the weekends.

A true Florida river bar on the shores of...Michigan. It's no frills and rough around the edges in all the right ways, with terrific sunny day bar food, drink and atmosphere.

My GF and I have been to the Island Grill several times since moving to Chesterfield.... I believe for mostly myself it's a Love Hate Relationship with this place.I believe the beauty out weighs the food in every aspect When you arrive your escorted back on a golf cart to the restaurant which is fun.The views are amazing from up top and the drinks are actually well made with ample amount of alcohol and the waitstaff are friendly.... But for myself it stops there...The food is mediocre at best I've had several dishes all under flavored and the food is dive bar to college dorm cafeteria at best. The food is unflavored and small quantities with cheap ingredients. The fries are greasy and with a dash a pepper.. I had a slice of my sons pizza.... Chucky Cheese and Little Caesars are more flavorful then this...However my GF throughly enjoyed her Perch Sandwich/Wrap it was full of ingredients/veggies and the fish was good size.Pizza, Cuban Sandwich, Perch Wrap, 3 non alcoholic drinks and 1 alcoholic drink was $60......This meal should have been $30 Tops then extra for the drink...Consider eating elsewhere then heading here for Drinks and a good night out... Skip the food unless you MUST eat!

It's disappointing to read all the bad reviews because we had a really great time here and the food was great. We popped in on a whim on a Saturday afternoon. It was 85 and sunny so it was quite busy. We got a ride from one of the girls in a golf cart...wish we had cash to tip her, I felt bad. When you get there they give you a wrist band if your over 21 and then you seat yourself. We sat upstairs along rhe rail where the stools are overlooking the water. It was the perfect spot. Great boat watching and perfect amount of sun. We did have access to an umbrella if sun isn't your friend. We did not drink any alcohol but they have a lot of cocktails, most of which sounded quite sweet to me. I ordered the strawberry salad with shrimp added. It was really good. The margarita dressing was so good, I couldn't stop adding it. I was worried the dressing would be sweet but nope, it was perfect. My husband had the wrap with burnt ends and fries, he loved it. We got to chatting with the ladies next to us who both had burgers, they also enjoyed their meals. You can access this place on or off the water. If coming from the water, call ahead for dock space, you can also fuel up here. We can't wait to come back with our boat soon!

Three girls. 4pm arrival. 13 drinks. Tried to order a couple different drinks, as well as chip and salsa but were told they were out. Then tried to order actual food at 7:18pm...told the kitchen was closed. THREE different tables ordered and received food following what we were told.

Went here for lunch with my family on a Saturday afternoon. Since it was beautiful weather we anticipated there being a wait but we sat at our table for 15 minutes before we were greeted by anyone and then after we ordered it took an hour and half for food on top of them offering only a limited menu. Two of us got their special dish the perch Ruben and it was terrible. I wouldn't go back here for a meal again I would recommend just enjoying the view and cocktail if you want to check it out.

The review I was going to write has been posted here so many times. Rude servers, kitchen on pause, and so on. All I'll say is time for a visit from Bar Rescue!
