The Raft

We stopped at the Raft on our way home from a trip to anchor Bay. The menu is half burgers and half sandwiches so you have limited choices but what they have is pretty decent food. I had a grilled chicken sandwich on an onion roll, and the chicken was very tender and tasty. One person in our group got a burger and she said it was delicious. One person got the fish and chips and enjoyed that and another person got a grilled cheese sandwich. The place is not large, but the waitress was incredibly friendly and helpful, and it felt like a small town feeling

A group of friends met at The Raft for lunch on a Saturday. They were busy but not jammed! The food was good, but not great! The burgers were tasty the fries not so much. We had a good meal and even better conversations! We had a great time!

Hands-down, the best mushroom and Swiss burger I ever had. And not to mention always great service.

Great spot to eat on the water. I had the cheeseburger and chili and loved both! Prices on point. Cozy vibes. Great service!

Solid 2 stars. Burgers are their specialty, but they are not that good, sorry. The onion rings are good. Fries were bad, how is that possible? Service was very good but it took an hour to get 4 burgers. This place was busy on a cold February Saturday because of all the ice fishers and people out snowmobiling, on their atvs on the frozen lake. Seems like a local place if you want an old bar type atmosphere. I just can't recommend it.

We had a nice lunch here on Sunday the deep-fried pickles and the onion rings were just wonderful especially with this yummy Cajun sauce! And everyone loves their hamburgers!Great service can't wait to go back!

This place could be in northern WI or MN. Definite local, north woods vibe. Just burgers and fried food for the most part. Quality is equal to the price so you can't complain. It is relatively small but there are a few larger tables and we didn't wait on Saturday night at 7:30. Kid friendly.

What a super cool spot! Now that I'm on summer break, I have so much more time to get out and enjoy the beauty of Michigan. We jumped in the car and headed out towards the lake. There are so many small bars and restaurants surrounding the water. You can literally do a bar hop around Lake St. Clair. The Raft was on our itinerary and it was everything we expected. Nautical themed, this bar is dated on the inside but it adds character to the place, makes it perfectly charming. We were not in the mood for food so we ordered a few beers and headed outside to enjoy the weather and play a game of cornhole. The backyard of this place is HUGE!!! I'm sure it's a fun spot for music and hanging out with friends on a busy night. Let's just say, I smoked my friend in a game of cornhole and we almost gave ourselves heat stroke. It was so dang hot, but we had a blast. We will most certainly be making a trip back out this way.

Do go there. Been driving past for over 30 years and decided to stop. It is a burger joint but that can't seem to cook a burger in less than an hour. To be honest, I don't know how long it takes as we gave up after an hour and they hadn't started making them yet. The said they were busy but watching others come in, sit and get there food while waiting for mine is just not good. Also, watch your step, the floor is very uneven.

Recently moved to the area and wanted a quick burger. Unfortunately the burgers were dry and over priced for a 1/3 lb Patty. The food took a long time to come out and the place was more than half empty. The staff was very friendly to the regulars at the bar but not so much to people sitting at tables. We'll go elsewhere next time. ​
