For more than 15 years, The Deck Down Under has built a reputation for one of Michigan’s best fish fry experiences. Our fish fry lineup includes lake perch, beer battered cod, fried catfish, fish and chips, and fresh seafood platters prepared with proper technique, clean flavor, and consistent execution. Served every day, not just Friday.

Lobster Roll Fade From Black Left_edited

Our lobster rolls are built with 100% real lobster and absolutely no filler. Choose the warm Connecticut-style lobster roll with butter-poached lobster, drawn butter, fresh tarragon, and a grilled split-top bun, or the cold Maine-style lobster roll made with our third-generation family recipe lobster salad. Real lobster, real butter, no shortcuts, and no bull.
