1) You will always miss it the first time you try to get there. It's on a local road, shrouded by trees and orchards. And it's really a shack, easy to pass.
2) You can't eat there. Well, there are picnic benches outside the shack, but the real secret is...
3) Go before sunset, get your food, and then head to the park. Right across the two-lane highway is a hidden drive to a small park that is on a bluff looking out to the lake. The view is incredible, and there are picnic tables for your convenience!
Everything is fried fresh for you-- you get to pick from today's catch, and receive it hot and greasy in a paper dish. This year, we whetted our palettes with (from left to right), smelt, walleye, and lake perch (the classic). Perfectly breaded, hot to the touch, this fish wouldn't have been better even if it was dipped in liquid sunset.

That fish looks awesome and there's nothing better than eating outside!!
This fish place is the best , I have come here for years and now that I dont live here , we always visit when we can get away. The best smoked chubs!!!
I go to Silver Lake every summer for about a month, and every Thursday night all 22 of us go to Bortell's. Of course we go to the park, and beach after. Also, there is a band concert at seven every Thursday, probably five minutes from there right next to the Pentwater yacht club, and Lake Pentwater. It is SO fun, and everyone from 80-2 LOVES it.
