Review from Heath P.

I visit from SoCa every summer and The Shed is a must. Their fresh fish is excellent. I love the lake fish having grown up Up North, so I always opt for whitefish. I try and convince every other member of our party to get the perch, etc. They have a great patio, live music some nights, and the wine prices are reasonable for Michigan Tax Rates. I can say without reservation, you will not be disappointed.

Nice real old place-shed, great outside seating looking at the harbor.
We just had a drink, love to go back again.
This is one of the great Michigan Summer trip stop. -

The Shed! Spent plenty of time here during my recent visit to Pure Michigan. No live music during my visit but we made our own party on the patio!
To eat: Scallops - simply awesome!
To Drink: Watch out for the local Bell's or Founders, shit get's you drunk :)
Within walking distance to 'downtown' Elberta - just a quick drive around the lake to the hotels! -

TERRIBLE SERVICE!! Rude bratty waitress who screwed up multiple times without apology. Food took forever and we were not there on a busy night. Then, the male bartender gave my aunt a "jack with coke" instead of a diet coke...and my aunt CANNOT drink. When I proceeded to calmly ask the bartender reasonable questions, he gave me attitude. My family and I have been going here for years and I have spent multiple birthday dinners here, and my family and I will NOT be returning. The service here has progressively gotten worse every single year and I'm sad it is such a dump now. They also jacked their prices UP and made the servings SMALLER, and also took some good meals off the menu. Maybe a change of management? Or theyre trying to appeal to a different crowd? Either way, its terrible now. NOT a recommendation. I'd recommend Mayfair or Dinghys.
Bad remodel several years back too. Changed the whole atmosphere. -

Prime rib was less the up to par. Quality of the meat was questionable. Very over done. Service help was good, problems with food and drinks weren't her problem. Drinks were weak, I don't expect much but will pay for what I want. Owner did comp some of bill, but I won't be going back

I had the best humongous mound of nachos in my life at the cabbage shed and everyone at my table had over the top rave reviews for our lunch on the patio over looking Betsie Bay. Great food, great booze, excellent service, overall fantastic experience! I might also say that yes its a bar, and a great place to lounge and drink in the evenings but lunch at the Cabbage Shed is totally fun and casual for kids too.

The Shed is an awesome space. It's located right on the harbor and has some seating outside on a deck. The inside is downright huge. As such, it really helps to hit The Shed on a good night (read: Thurs, Fri, or Sat during the summer season), otherwise it can feel kinda empty. On a busy night, expect a rollicking crowd of locals and tourists, a live band (usually of the bluegrass or classic rock varieties), swarms of people around the pool tables, and a *good* time.
Note that the Shed closes at Midnight on off-nights (at least on the nights I've been there). After 12 on off-nights, The Villa Marine Bar in Frankfort is your only choice. -

The Cabbage Shed is something to experience. Very quirky interior, kinda feels like a western saloon meets a commune of hippies. The food is quite good, although occasionally a bit inconsistent. Menu items vary from sandwiches and burgers to fish and steaks. They have the best nachos in the area. The staff are friendly and warm and service is usually very good unless they get mobbed.
This place is very popular in the summer, so it can get a bit crowded, especially Friday and Saturday nights. They have outdoor dining overlooking the water, so if it's too crowded or smokey inside, check it out.
They have pool tables and foosball. They also occasionally have some good bands. -

A decent place. When you're from Chicago, any bar where you can buy a Bud Light bottle for $2.25 resonates pretty well. There's plenty of space in this place although it does get a little smoky.
The small band/stage setup in the front room is nice. The cabbage shed probably would've been a 4 star establishment for me if I hadn't walked into the back room (which is HUGE and was completely empty) and put 50 cents in the pool table for a game. The table was so uneven the balls wouldn't even stay where we racked them for the break. -

This place is absolutely terrible. The only acceptable entree out of the five of us, was the chicken fingers. My daughter got the eggplant and literally almost poked. Then, our dinner salads came AFTER the meal? We should have taken it as a hint when we discovered you could carve your name into the table. I wouldn't suggest this restaurant to my worst enemy.

Although the name might put some people off, The Cabbage Shed is definitely one of the better moderately priced restaurants in Northern Michigan.
Made fresh daily soups and tempting seafood are small highlights of their menu.
Drink selections are somewhat limited, with only house wines and beer offered.
Service, as it is by and large in Northern Michigan, is "casual". The deck area overlooking the Betsie river is suggested if it is a nice day. -

Great bar and also good food. The best part is the atmosphere, as it's in an old barn (or perhaps it was a cabbage shed? eh?). Their deck overlooks the bay, and they've got a lot of good sandwich options. I always like going to the shed, as you're likely to run into someone you know there.

i love this place, been coming here since i was a kid. they dealt with our enormous party cheerfully and replaced the beer that one of us spilled. coloring books for the kids and nice outdoor seating. much better than some of the overpriced snooty new tourist traps in frankfort. my kid did not like his kids meal (pasta with sauce, i think the jarred sauce might have been too sweet for him), but he ate half my plate of fish and loved the coloring books. dont remember our kids meal from the year before, but i do remember that being a bust too... might just order him an adult entree next time.
