Old Channel Inn - Montague

Food is pretty good. If you like old school Michigan cottage style resort this place is for you (we like it). Friendly service and a warm welcoming atmosphere

Friendly staff, slow service from the kitchen, and okay food. The house made potato chips are amazing...the rest of the food was okay. Will I go back? No unless I'm with a group that wants to eat there. I'd go to be polite and get a small side salad. I had a burger which appeared and tasted like a prepackaged patty. The amount of salt was over powering and it was just a flavorless dry burger...well flavorless minus salty. The fries are clearly food service frozen and tasted exactly like a frozen fry does when slightly under cooked. The food just wasn't that good and the wait was too long for the quality. High praise to the servers who were very professional and patient waiting on the kitchen to get the food out despite several empty tables. Maybe the fish is good but the smell of grease from the tables near by that ordered fish turned me away from trying it. The servers deserve better from the kitchen and the customer deserves higher quality food like hand cut fries and a quality beef that is fresh and locally sourced. Do better!

Quaint, old style steak restaurant that specializes in fish. Out of the way, and a bit out of the ordinary. If you are looking for a slick, modern, chic place to dine, look elsewhere. If you want a traditional American meal in a beautiful place on mid-Michigan's west coast, stop and take in this extraordinary spot.

Great fish, and steaks nice cold beer good service owners care a lot. Fantastic atmosphere close to the lake.

Old Channel Inn is a true hidden gem on the shore of Lake Michigan. It is incredibly cozy in the winter months and it is just as cozy and relaxing during the summer months! I love that OCI is open year round! But be sure to note that they have reduced hours during the winter months. OCI has a great selection of cocktails, wines, appetizers and main plates. Everything always taste fresh and the prime rib is great! We really enjoyed their New Year's Eve meal last winter. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is always clean. I highly recommend OCI for a date night spot or a special occasion.
