Crank’s Bar & Grill - (Near St Clair Shores, MI)

1 /5 Bidinger Mark: I recently ordered the fish and chips from Cranks, and I must say that I was deeply disappointed with the quality of the dish. The breading on the fish had an off-putting taste and texture, resembling stale and oily cereal corn flakes. Upon my first bite, I immediately noticed a lingering staleness that overshadowed any potential enjoyment. The breading seemed like it had been sitting around for far too long, lacking the fresh and crisp coating that is essential to a satisfying fish and chips experience. The texture was unappealing, with a greasy and clumpy consistency that made it difficult to appreciate the flavor of the fish. The presence of oily cereal corn flakes as a coating was baffling and seemed like a poor choice for such a classic dish. It did not enhance the flavor of the fish but rather detracted from it, leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. To add to the disappointment, the chips served alongside the fish were also a letdown. They were greasy and lacked the desirable crispiness, appearing limp and undercooked. The combination of the lackluster chips and the subpar breading left me feeling unsatisfied and regretful of my choice. I believe that the restaurant should be ashamed to serve a dish of such poor quality. Fish and chips is a beloved staple, and it is disheartening to encounter such a disservice to this classic dish. I forgot to mention, this miserable meal was $17.

5 /5 Jessica Woodruff: Having heard great things about Cranks, I told my boyfriend he couldn’t come to this one without me. The Bloody Mary was pretty good, but could’ve been a little spicier for my taste. We split a Caesar salad and the dressing was a little lighter than a typical caesar and tasted so fresh. Both of us got the California club wrap, and it was perfect for a light meal before hitting the links. There are a few more options I’d like to try next time!

5 /5 Jean Schachermeyer: Cranks is a lovely spot for a nice meal amd cocktail. Kelly and the staff are kind and professional. They make sure that all patrons have a great experience.

3 /5 Janet: Had a wonderful time group of 12 Service was excellent. Food was average. One dinner was missing a piece of fish, it was only breading. The waitress apologized and said she would discount the check accordingly, then the manager came out to see what was happening. She immediately went on the attack telling us it was impossible that it could happen, basically calling us liars. Four of us saw her cut into nothing but breading. Bad customer service. Wrong call lady, we were not lying

5 /5 Karen Jankauskas: Highly recommend the banquet room downstairs for an event. We had a baby shower and loved the venue and atmosphere. It was great from the communication, setup, and food were excellent. The wait staff was very accommodating and very awesome people. My guests raved about the good tasting food. Thanks, Cranks!
