The Beach House At Michigan Beach

A great location to stop eating for a quick bite while on the beach. I tried the smoothie, gorgeous shakes, root beer and the Coney. The friendly staff will bring it to you when it is ready.

My family loves Bywater Cafe!! Annie is proud that her food is fresh, fair and always to order. It grieves me to see negative reviews that it “cut too many hands fry’s” or “bland”, or that it would be a “concession stand”... .or that Annie or her staff would be considered “racist” that could not be further from the truth) Annie has young children working for them, for many of them it is the first job and I have never been unkindly treated by one of them. Annie not only runs this café, but also ensures that the throw is picked up not only on its terrace but also on the beach. Simple rules for life during the visit... Be friendly to the staff not destroy their property No smoking on the terrace Pretty easy!! Bywater cafe Staff Annie, don't worry about the small comments left by angry, titled customers. Who knows what this is for a great place is coming back.

This is a fantastic café located on the beach in Charlevoix, Michigan. They offer a wide variety of snacks, including mozzarella cheese sticks, hand-cut French fries, salads, burgers, and bison burger sliders. My personal favorite is the smoked white fish cake slider, which resembles mini crab cakes served on fresh slider buns, accompanied by a crisp mix of greens and a flavorful remoulade.

A great place for lunch away from the crowds in downtown, plus the view cannot beat!

We absolutely adore ByWater Cafe! It's honestly my favorite place to dine with my young kids. The food is excellent—both my kids and I enjoy it—plus the service is fast and the staff is friendly. There’s a playground where the kids can play, and they offer amazing desserts! The pickle spears and mac and cheese bites are fantastic! It’s the perfect spot for a fun, relaxing outing. My kids love choosing which beautifully painted table they'll sit at, and they each picked different ones. If you have kids, I wouldn't recommend going anywhere else. It’s the easiest place to enjoy a meal with little ones!
