An absolute local gem. Get a table overlooking the water.
The best chicken and biscuits I've ever had. Will leave you craving it until you come back. They also have a excellent bourbon list and spin vinyl! No a fancy atmosphere--but those are always the best kind! No reservations. Arrive 20 minutes before they open to stand in line--or put your name in and enjoy a drink from their outside bar while you wait.

Saugatuck Brewing Company
2948 Blue Star HwyGreat beer and great food!
I love this little place. They serve breakfast and lunch, have a little grocery area and a bakery and also one of the best Bloody Mary's in the area. Pro tip-While most downtown places are on an hour + wait for breakfast, you can roll into Isabel's fairly easily.
They also host cooking and cocktail classes. Such a fun thing to add to your schedule. The classes are super unique and interesting! Also-occasionally have live music outside! Check their social for more info.
