Known For

Waterfront dock seating with sweeping views of Kalamazoo Lake

Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant puts outdoor seating right at the edge of the water, making it the most visually dramatic brunch spot in Saugatuck by a significant margin. The bright, airy dining room is great for photos, but honestly the dock view is doing most of the heavy lifting.

🕐Best time to visit: Late August afternoons when the sailboats are out

216 Van Raalte Ave, Holland, MI 49423, USA

Our Take

Boatwerks earns its place on the water with outdoor seating that delivers genuine lakeside atmosphere, not just a view from afar. Nearly 5,000 reviews back up its reputation as a go-to for visitors, making it a standout local favorite by any measure.
