River Crab Blue Water Inn

Great seafood. Part of the Landry's restaurant chain, it still has the local flair the original owners created decades ago. Spectacular views of the St. Clair river. Martha does a great job making sure your meals and service are top notch.

I have driven by this place so many times and never even knew it was here. It is attached to a seemingly "discount" motel. I didn't even know there was a restaurant down the hill. We came here for the first time for my father-in-law's birthday as this is one of his favorite spots for special occasions. He has been here for New Year's Eve, anniversaries and birthdays. I now know why this is one of his favorites. Everything from chicken tenders and fries for the kids, fried fish and chips, entree salads, clam chowder, pastas, chicken, shrimp, crab cakes, scallops, steaks. Everything we ordered was so well prepared, beautifully plated and absolutely delicious. I haven't even seen swordfish on a menu in eons and this was the best I have ever had. Their muscles were fantastic and that's coming from someone who doesn't normally like them. Their almond crusted brie was phenomenal and the meal was finished off with creme brulee. It is a bit pricey, but for food this good and a setting this nice, it is absolutely worth it.

During the week of the Detroit Grand Prix several years ago, I stayed here one night on a business trip because all of the hotels and motels were booked up near my meeting the next morning in Sterling Heights. I was living in Ohio at this time. I ordered a tasty salmon dinner. The service was excellent. As I was eating dinner, a boat docked at the restaurant and a boating friend from Ohio and his family entered the restaurant. Besides the fabulous dinner, I had a great surprise meeting with a friend.

Always a great dining experience! The food is excellent and we had a great view of the river. We spent the night at the Blue Water Inn and woke up to this amazing sunrise. The room at the Blue Water Inn was nice! Looks like newly updated, clean, and a great view of the river.

Loved the view, loved the food. Excellent service. An hour drive for us, but will definitely be back a few more times this summer. Note: very handicap accessible: ramps built into the floor plan, and had a family bathroom which was able to fit me and my husband on his Invacare power wheelchair. Little tight, but workable.
