Jamesport Brewing Company

Excellent Food with professional and friendly staff. Nice beer selection with very good craft brews. Trendy interior of old brick building that provides warm atmosphere. Our daughter was engaged in Ludington and we used their «Red Room» for a private celebration. Thank you Jamesport for making it a special and memorable celebration!

One of our favorite places to eat in Ludington! Food is always great and the beer is also excellent!

Excellent fish and chips and great bar staff. The Dry Stout, Black Rye IPA and Penny were our favorite beers.

Nice restaurant in Ludington. Stopped in for dinner while on a quick trip. Had the fish and chips, the fries were okay but the fish was probably some of the best ive had in a long time. Nice batter that wasnt too thick or thin. Flaky fish that almost melted in my mouth. The side salad that came with it had fresh veggies on it. Nice dinner! What I liked the most was my choice of drink: American wheat style apricot wheat beer. Very smooth with a slight sweet and tart fruit flavor. Should have brought some home with me.

A very very very excellent burger all while watching the Chicago Cubs beat Saint Louis Cardinals.

Great bar on the outskirts of downtown Ludington — perhaps a bit of a surprise since it’s off the beaten strip.
I really liked their blueberry wheat beer — ended up drinking two. Everyone’s food was good, service was great, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and the interior was cool.
This will be the first place I stop for dinner when I’m back in Ludington. If it’s as good as this time, I’ll probably up the rating to 5-​star.
Beer was reasonably priced, the tasting sample flights were a good deal, and the food itself was a fair price for the area. Nothing really to complain about.

The service was very slow, the waitress took 15 minutes to get our drink order and then another 10 to just bring out our sodas/​waters. The burgers were cold when they brought them out and they were overcooked. The meat tasted sour. I will not be coming back here.

After years of loving Jamesport, eating there has become a disappointing experience. I would like to recommend that owners and chefs alike sample the grilled chicken
sandwich to see if they enjoy eating chunks of gristle. Wherever the chicken is coming from, it is certainly a step down. Please fix it or I will not be returning!

I wasn’t impressed with either the beer or the vibe of this place. It’s certainly very «port-​like», but not in a way I can appreciate.

SALTY PRETZEL! I loved it!
It’s typical brewery fare. But the stand outs are definitely the pretzel, salads and fried perch.
The beer flights are really fun to be able to try everything. I would suggest doing a range from light to dark.
I don’t really have much else to say but go check it out!

Very great service. Delicious brewed beers & great food. Sampler of beers 5 for $ 7. Blueberry beer & Scottish strong ale are amazing. Avocado hummus is delicious. Beer cheese soup & lobster mac & cheese are great. Great variety in menu burgers & veggie burgers. Great Hidden gem.

Good food and good beer. The service was a little slow. Seems to be a theme up here and in Traverse City. Too many people and not enough wait staff?

Initially I was going to ding this place for something not in their control. The locals there were not very friendly but that’s no fault of the staff. My family and I were sitting outside under an umbrella that was shading 2 tables. Ours and the table next to us. These people must have felt we must not have needed it as much as them and came and took it without asking. Much to the protest of us and the table next to us. Sadly the establishment didn’t have more umbrellas. Hopefully they fix that.
But the food and the beer were just great. I got a flight of beer with my meal and every beer was solid to the core. The burger came medium, just as ordered and was great. I highly recommend the food and beer. They do sell growlers if you want to take some home. But I think they are missing the boat (so to speak, because of the badger) by not bottling. Taking a growler back to WI just wouldn’t last, they could be selling 6 packs that would travel much better.

Go for the beer. Very good selection of their home brews. Loved the apricot beer, not overly sweet had a great flavor with a hint of apricot. Stick to the bar type food; burgers, chicken and such.

Great local pub! nice selection of drinks always on hand and very good food for «bar food». A definite stop when we are in town.

Had a great lunch with my family. Great food and service. Burger was great, the loaded fries were fantastic, the perch was awesome. Great friendly service and the patio was wonderful on this beautiful June day. I had the heifeweisen and weizenbock. Wife had the kölsch. All beers were very good. Will be back every summer when were camping. Even though it’s a brewery it’s very family friendly.

Pros: beer sampler was on point, you get five x 5 oz beers for $ 7.50, it’s a good way try out their offerings. My burger was juicy and I was pleased with how it tasted. My wife enjoyed her French dip sandwich. Dining room is decorated with the Reed’s artwork.
Cons: way too many tables stuffed into our area, granted we had a stroller but could barely get out to leave. Our server was not friendly, and seemed like she was rushing us to leave. They have outdoor seating but we were not offered those seats. There are two unisex bathrooms, awkwardly positioned in the very center next to the hostess station. Who designed that?
Verdict: good food, average at best service, awkward layout. JBC could be the best place in town with a manager who was on top of things.

Excellent Food drink and service. A little noisy had the Cherry Bourbon Steak just right size cooked as requested. Wife had Tenderloin also excellent

Super cool find in Ludington! It’s off of their main street, but completely within walking distance of many of the motels. We sat in the bar area and I was pleased to see they have a full bar since I’m not a huge beer drinker. My friend wanted to order one of the two seasonal beers, but they were out. We ordered the perch appetizer, which was delicious, and the calamari. The calamari came with a cocktail sauce and could have used some more flavor, either in the breading of choice of sauce. I opted for the perch dinner and was very pleased. Perfectly breaded and fried perch and I am always happy when malt vinegar is available for my fries. My friend and I were absolutely freezing and the waitress was nice enough to turn down the air, even though our husbands were fine. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area!

We stopped at Jamesport Brewing Company after a long day at the beach. The beer was just what the doctor prescribed for my killer sunburn. OK, maybe it was self medication. You caught me.
The food looked great, but we had already eaten plenty before coming here. I’d like to try some items off of their menu the next time we’re in town.
I ordered a pint of the Apricot Wheat Beer and immediately regretted my decision — ONLY because I noticed they offer beer flights and I would have loved to have tried more styles. But my disappointment was soon remedied by the sweet Apricot Wheat Beer. I really wanted to order another round, but I just couldn’t fit anything more in my stomach after the aforementioned food binge and one beer.
$ 10 for 2 glasses of locally brewed beer! Get on it!
