Can I get some sugestions for a good place to eat on the Detroit river. (american side). I want to take some people out this weekend and have dinner on the river and have no idea where to go. Are there any returants with docks?

not a lot of choices,
sinbads on the river is always good
portifino in wyandotte is ok
jacks but the food su,ks

Portofino is good....tasty French Dip

Food at Jacks is ok....had a good club sandwich there off the appetizer menu a couple weeks ago.

Also Clamdiggers on the Rasin River down towards Monroe for a good time.

I was just thinking about that place. You have to try their mash potato pizza.

Great place for a cold beer and pizza

Beach Grill (in the same canal as Jacks, but in a little)
Sindbads
Signature Grille in the Riverfront apartments (call first for transient docking) www.signaturegrille.com

sinbads
beach grille
jacks
tin fish
portofinos
browns bar (party hangout. good burgers but very loud, lots o'drunks)
deckers landing
crews inn (clinton river)
andiamo (gotta dock at emerald)

some of these are on st. clair and they can be reached in 25 min or less from the mouth of the river opening to st. clair if your doing about 45

I prefer the Dipster

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will try them all in my own time. This weekend it looks like I will have 4 kids with me two 5 year olds one 6 yearold and a 2 year old. Kids love pizza! is Clam Digger a venu for kids around three in the afternoon on Saturday? Adults get a cold beer and the kids get pizza I love it...adults love good pizza also

Beforewarned, Clamdiggers is not exactly a real high class joint. More of a biker bar on the water to be specific. And its a pretty good haul from the Detroit River, especially in a 21 foot boat.

Jacks would be more kid friendly than clamdiggers, and they have some good pizzas there too along with a good selection on the kids menu...

Plus I think the boat inside is like a little play room (dont quote me)
