Reviews
A group of friends met at The Raft for lunch on a Saturday. They were busy but not jammed! The food was good, but not great! The burgers were tasty the fries not so much. We had a good meal and even better conversations! We had a great time!
Great spot to eat on the water. I had the cheeseburger and chili and loved both! Prices on point. Cozy vibes. Great service!
What a super cool spot! Now that I'm on summer break, I have so much more time to get out and enjoy the beauty of Michigan. We jumped in the car and headed out towards the lake. There are so many small bars and restaurants surrounding the water. You can literally do a bar hop around Lake St. Clair. The Raft was on our itinerary and it was everything we expected. Nautical themed, this bar is dated on the inside but it adds character to the place, makes it perfectly charming. We were not in the mood for food so we ordered a few beers and headed outside to enjoy the weather and play a game of cornhole. The backyard of this place is HUGE!!! I'm sure it's a fun spot for music and hanging out with friends on a busy night. Let's just say, I smoked my friend in a game of cornhole and we almost gave ourselves heat stroke. It was so dang hot, but we had a blast. We will most certainly be making a trip back out this way.
We had a nice lunch here on Sunday the deep-fried pickles and the onion rings were just wonderful especially with this yummy Cajun sauce! And everyone loves their hamburgers! Great service can't wait to go back!
Hands-down, the best mushroom and Swiss burger I ever had. And not to mention always great service.
