From Fairways to Flatbreads: Waterfront Dining at Huron Shores
Whether you just walked off the 18th green or you’re just looking for the best seat in Port Sanilac to watch the sun dip below the horizon, the Huron Shores Grill is officially your 2026 dining destination.
While we’ve always been known for the "Card-Wrecker" 13th hole, we’re becoming just as famous for what’s coming out of our kitchen. We’ve revamped our approach to waterfront dining, blending the relaxed, "Up North" vibe our golfers love with a menu that rivals any high-end bistro in the Thumb.
Waterfront Dining for the Public
A common misconception is that you need a tee time to get a table. Huron Shores Grill is 100% open to the public. Our patio offers one of the most panoramic views of Lake Huron in the area, making it the perfect spot for a midweek lunch, a celebratory family dinner, or a relaxed Sunday brunch.
The 2026 Menu Highlights
Our menu focuses on fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and "comfort food."
- The Signature Perch: Our Friday Night Fish Fry is a local legend for a reason. Fresh, lightly breaded Lake Perch served with all the classic fixings.
- Artisanal Burgers & Wraps: From our half-pound Steak Burgers to the savory Summertime Chicken on ciabatta, we’ve moved far beyond standard "turn" food.
- Weekend Breakfast: Fuel up with our "3 BY 4" breakfast or a custom Omelet, served Saturday and Sunday mornings from 9 AM to Noon.
- Full Bar & Special Events: From craft drafts to specialty cocktails, our bar is fully stocked. Plus, stay tuned for upcoming wine pairing dinners and seasonal tastings!
Waterfront Dining At Huron Shores
We pride ourselves on offering resort-quality food at hometown prices. Here is how a standard "Lake Dinner" (typically Fish or a Premium Burger) compares to other local waterfront options:
When it comes to waterfront dining within 15 miles of Port Sanilac, you usually have to choose between a great view and a reasonable bill. At Huron Shores, we’ve made sure you get both.
While nearby high-end nautical restaurants and boutique resort bistros often start their entrées at $25 to $35, our menu remains rooted in local value. You can enjoy a signature steak burger or a gourmet wrap for under $15, and even our legendary Friday Night Fish dinners consistently beat the market average for fresh-caught Lake Perch.
“At Huron Shores, you aren't paying a ‘tourist tax’ for the view,” says Owner John Kane. ”Whether you're fueling up for a round or bringing the family for a sunset dinner, you get resort-quality flavors at hometown prices!”

Breakfast at the course is no longer an afterthought; it’s a weekend destination. You don’t need a tee time to enjoy the most peaceful hour in Port Sanilac—just a hearty appetite and a love for the morning air.

- Weekend Hours: Join us every Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to Noon for the best start on the "Sunrise Side."

The "Social Hub" After 4 p.m.
As the shadows lengthen, the Grill transitions from a daytime eatery to the community’s favorite evening social spot.
- The Bar Scene: It’s more than just a place for a drink; it’s where the 13th hole stories are told and local news is shared in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
- "Chef’s Choice" Specials: We frequently feature rotating additions and off-menu creations, giving our regulars a fresh reason to visit every single week.
- A Sunset Tradition: Grab a seat on the patio to watch the sky change colors over the 9th green—the perfect end to any day in Port Sanilac.
"We wanted to create a space where the food was as much of a draw as the golf. Seeing neighbors come in just for the '3 BY 4' breakfast or our Friday Fish Fry—people who have never even picked up a club—that’s when we knew we’d hit our mark." — John Kane, Huron Shores Management
The atmosphere is "Up North" relaxed. It’s the kind of place where the staff remembers your name and the Perch is always fresh. Locals have long called it the "best-kept secret in the Thumb," but with the expanded menu featuring artisanal ciabattas and signature crunch wraps, the secret is officially out.
