Local Restaurants
The Deck
This summer and fall restaurant is located directly on Pere Marquette Beach on Lake Michigan. Tons of outdoor seating, great food and music on most evenings and Sunday afternoons. Have dinner and cocktails in one of their pontoon boats! A good choice is to walk from The Pidge Inn, down the channel past the Silversides submarine, to the Coast Guard station, and down the beach to The Deck for a sunset dinner. It’s a beautiful 15 minute walk each way, and if you come back after dark, watch out for deer. Located at 1601 Beach St, Muskegon, MI 49441.
Distance: 0.7 Miles - 15 Minute Walk
Lake Bluff Grille
When we are in the mood for a little more upscale dining, with great food and service, the Lake Bluff Grille is our choice. It is located at the Muskegon Country Club, est. 1908 on 130 acres of dunes, and the dining room overlooks the beautiful golf course. While you are there, see if they will let you step out onto the banquet hall deck. You’ll get a great overlook of Muskegon Lake. Located at 2801 Lakeshore Dr, Muskegon, MI 49441.
Distance: 2 Miles
Frosty Cove
No matter where you go, on your way back to The Pidge Inn, make sure to stop by the Frosty Cove and get some ice cream. Our only hint is that you should probably order the small cone, as it is larger than most larges from other places! It’s seasonal, so get it while you can. Located at 2565 Lakeshore Dr, Muskegon, MI 49441. A second location is now located in the snack hut on Pere Marquette Beach.
Distance: 2.3 Miles
Lakeside Cafe

Hanks Tavern
Have you ever had a restaurant that you go to so often you feel bad, thinking you really should go somewhere else...but it is so good every time, no matter what you get, that you keep going back?

Mr. Scribs
If we are out of town for a while, the first place we go to get pizza is Mr. Scribs. You can eat there, but consider bringing your pizza back to The Pidge Inn and sharing with the management!
