With a map it's easy to recognize this place is not too easy to get to unless you happen to live on Beaver Island. The food was prepared to satisfy and the service really good in a bar setting. There's free pool and conversation with anyone there.

Party of 8 plus one child. We were seated at 530 long before it got busy and our party ordered around 545. We watched tables around us who came in after our party get their orders and leave while we continued to wait with no check-ins from our waitress. We had to wait a full hour and 15 minutes (with a hungry toddler) for our food, and then the kitchen missed my order and I had to wait an additional 15 minutes before getting my order, well after our party was finished eating. Food wise the whitefish Reuben, regular Reuben and the beef dip were good but my rushed shamrock burger was not worth the wait at all. Unsure if that was because it was rushed or if it's just not that good.Not a single apology or explanation was given for the long wait or missed order until one of our party asked what happened to the missed order.

Dark dive bar atmosphere, friendly enough but slow servers.

French onion soup and mushroom burger were pretty good. Ambiance was decent and staff did a good job for the most part. What knocked off a few stars was being charged $12.50 for a supposedly "top shelf" vodka Bloody Mary. I was never asked if I wanted the high end vodka and didn't know I had to specify that when I ordered. If you go there watch your bill.

Kim the waitress is so tremendous. She is so kind and helpful and makes sure we get the best of what we order and need. I’m my case, I’m allergic to dairy and she went beyond the call to be sure I was fed properly. Love the food and the service. ?

Food was absolutely delicious! It did take awhile to get it. But they were short staffed. Well worth the wait. Highly recommend giving it a

Our waitress was rude and hardly spoke. She had a scowl on her face the whole time except when she was flirting with a coworker.

I guess we need to get better used to "island time" when we visit Beaver. The food at Shamrock was great (perfectly cooked "medallions;" a terrific pork chop with Michigan cherry compote), but the service was very slow and some of the food arrived cold. The patio overlooks the harbor and the beehive of activity at the ferry dock.

Visited the Shamrock Bar & Restaurant on 8/4. The service was very slow. Food came over 60 minutes after we placed the order. For two hamburgers and fries, very disappointing. Asked waiter for sugar for my tea. After waiting 30 minutes, I went up to the bar to get it myself. The waiter noted he forgot about me, which seemed to be a common theme with the waitstaff. Heard the waitress note to the customers across from us who were seated prior to us that she forgot about them. Food was ok. Not worth the wait. Very disappointing considering the limited restaurant options on Beaver Island.

Overall it was okay. The food was good, however the service was not very welcoming or timely. My group spent quite a while waiting for our food and when it did come out some of the dishes were enjoyed, some were not. This is one of the few restaurants on the island so it's mostly regulars not tourists.

We love the Shamrock, but, this year, the service has been terrible. We waited almost two hours for food today and it wasn’t busy. When the food arrived, it was a completely different pizza than what was sold a day before. So weird. Lots of staff just standing around. I hope you get it worked out. We love coming here every year.

I’ve been coming to this place for years and I have to say I was really disappointed this time. For starters the service was extremely slow and no it’s not just because “it’s the summer season”, it’s because of the staff blatantly not paying attention. Secondly, one of my family members ordered a pizza but they served him with ZERO plates. When we asked for plates nothing arrived so we had to use bar napkins to improvise. Lastly, the nachos were burnt to a crisp. I don’t know how you can mess up nachos but the Shamrock is perfectly capable at screwing that up.Do better….tourist and locals don’t deserve such terrible service and sub par food for the prices you charge.

Only a few bar/restaurant options on Beaver Island. The Shamrock used to be somewhat decent, if not overpriced. Love the staff, but the kitchen/bar is overwhelmed at less than 50% capacity. Overwhelmed as in, 45+ minutes for a drink order, and 60+ minutes for mediocre food. The pace of life on BI is different than most places in the US. Still, charging island prices when you can't deliver on basic Beaver Island food service demands, has made this establish a no go for my family. Grab a bottle of wine and go to Daddy Frank's.

The servers have no customer service skills. There is no sense of ergency at all. If they kicked their butts in gear, they could make so many tips. But we had to go to the bar to get drinks. The gal with the cornrolls was nusting her butt and sweating her butt off making up for the lazy servers. Then we returned and ordered a pizza to go and requested extra cheese. The new guy bartender gave us s*** and was rude as crap. We'll never go there again. Whiskey Point Brewery gave us much better outstanding service. Even with a smile and they we're very busy also. But attitude and service is everything.
