If you want, you can cut out your drawings to remember your visit. Phil’s also has great food for the kids. There are small portions for the kids menu. I’ve tried everything on the kids menu and they are all so good and perfect for kids. There are chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, cheese quesadillas, fried lake perch and grille cheese sandwiches. What is also very attractive about Phil’s is its HUGE marquee outside. It’s just like the movie theaters! The most popular things to put on the marquee are birthdays, welcome to the world and congratulations. Just call the restaurant and tell them the date to put it on and they will try their best to do it for you. Every year for me and Natalie’s birthday, they put our names on the marquee. Also after families are done eating and save enough room, they can go get ice cream! There is 5 ice cream shops downtown Saugatuck. After I eat my dinner I usually go across the street to Charlie’s to get ice cream. Phils is right on Butler Street right across the street from Pumpernickels and right by the Drug Store.
