- DDebraDetroit / Eastern Michigan •2 reviews4.0Dined 7 days agoFood was delicious. We got the buffet. Items were replenished when needed. The OJ could have been attended to a little better. We had a reservation but people were sitting there already. Our table the previous night was perfect so we decided to make another one. We were told a table could be cleared off but we decided to take a different one. If we would have known people would talk loud at another table by us, we would have waited. Wait staff needs to still meet the needs of the ones who get buffets. Would go back even with this issue.More infoFreighters Eatery & TaproomPrice: Moderate• American• Port Huron•4.4

Discover The Thumb
The Thumb region in Michigan encompasses Sanilac, Tuscola and Huron Counties and is home of the Sanilac Petroglyphs, which are sandstone carvings made by Native Americans. This area features many family-owned-and-operated orchards that have restaurants where you can enjoy a relaxed lunch of locally grown produce, apple pies and bread with preserves. The Thumb also has many German-themed restaurants where you could try a dinner of bratwurst topped with grilled onions and bell peppers served with sauerkraut, potato salad and apfelstrudel. Breakfast is a popular meal in this region of Michigan. One of the local specialties is fried bologna, which is often served as a fried bologna sandwich topped with a fried egg and served on slices of sourdough bread.
