Bridges is a dockside restaurant serving sandwiches, wraps, burgers, seafood, salads, vegetarian & gluten free food. We are located on Trail Creek near the shores of Lake Michigan by the highway 12 overpass and the historic Amtrak swing bridge. Bridges is very family friendly with mostly outdoor seating, although there is a comfortable indoor dining area as well. Our deck is a lively place for delicious food, refreshing drinks, and a large selection of beer from the region.
Family-owned bar & grill with a large deck & seafood-centric menu, open April to October.

Reviews
Tried the pretzel bites too though can skip that cheese dip it came in.
Staff is really chill and nice. Huge variety of beers and margaritas. Make sure to get a spot in the sun.
We loved the drink options as well! Loved that they’re local drinks instead of the traditional Coke and Pepsi products. It was a nice change for sure!
While we waited with several other groups, a man walked in and was seated immediately. When we asked the hostess about it, she said he had been there earlier, even though he hadn’t. Others around us were also confused, as we were all on the waitlist and watching the same interactions unfold. After we addressed the issue with her, we were seated shortly after.
Once seated, our experience improved significantly. Our server, Heather, was amazing, friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. The food was good as well.
However, while we were eating, I noticed some concerning behavior. A few people from the bar tried to get tables, and I saw the hostess tell them there was a waitlist. But when one man offered her cash, she told him they could sit wherever they wanted. She noticed me watching and quickly walked back inside. I found this behavior extremely unprofessional, especially considering how many people were still waiting for a table.
Overall, the food was great and the service from our waitress was excellent, but the hostess could use some improvement. As a former hostess myself, I understand how stressful the job can be, but there’s no excuse for rudeness or showing favoritism to guests who offer something extra.
