Saugatuck, Michigan
Waterfront spot on the Kalamazoo River with live music and lake perch.
Saugatuck's go-to waterfront hangout, right across from the Kalamazoo River at 449 Water Street. Wicks has been a local staple for over 16 years, serving a crowd-pleasing menu of lake perch, fish tacos, shrimp tacos with sweet potato hash, New Orleans-style gumbo, burgers, and seasonal vegetable pasta. The outdoor patio has river views and a dog-friendly policy, and the dance pavilion hosts live music every Friday and Saturday night — it's the kind of place where you show up for dinner and end up staying to dance. Full bar with craft beers on tap, wines, and cocktails. The key lime pie is homemade and worth saving room for. Open year-round with extended weekend hours. A welcoming, unpretentious spot that captures the best of Saugatuck's casual waterfront energy.
