Nothing says summer in the Great Lakes State quite like sitting by the water with a hot burger or fresh fish and a frosty brew. In metro Detroit, there are several lakeside and riverfront vistas that lend themselves to an idyllic meal near the water. Whether it’s a casual weekend brunch or a scenic sunset date or a business deal on the river, these destinations are worthy of a summer spot. Plenty provide live music right on the water and dock parking, so diners can pull up to the marina via bike, car, or boat.
Dining out still carries risks for unvaccinated diners and workers. Please be aware of changing local rules, and check individual restaurant websites for any additional restrictions such as mask requirements.
