Every year for years we have taken time to stop for lunch in the fall. We always sat on the patio overlooking the boats. I have never eaten inside and it always smelled a bit damp.

One of the headlining bands and myself headed out for dinner. Since they were staying at the Shoreline Inn they decided to try Rafferty's. We were seated... more

My husband & I visit Muskegon 2-3 times a year to visit his parents. We haven't dined at Rafferty's for about 2-3 years and now I know why.
