Very comfortable local dining place. The menu offers good variety at a reasonable price. Everyone should be able to find something they like. The meals are well prepared and the staff is friendly and courteous. The atmosphere reflects conversation without being loud and boisterous. I have never been disappointed except on Sunday when they are closed. This is 5 years later. A couple of us guys like to get together once a month or so and go to a different restaurant. In the last couple of years we have been to many. They have been the object of a few of my reviews. However, we have all decided that Latitude 43 is our go-to place of choice. It takes a powerful recommendation to cause us to budge from Latitude. Service, drinks, food and atmosphere is just right.

Literally the best steak I have ever tasted in my life. No sauce needed. Will return often. And recommend to everyone who asks where to get a good steak. And I'm not even from Bay City lol

This is a VERY GOOD PLACE TO EAT! The wait staff and food, both very good! A very pleasant and friendly atmosphere. The menu is very diverse! Alycia and her co-worker were our servers for our group of 14. They both did an outstanding job! The food was Excellent, Prime Rib , Fish , Chef Salad , Pasta , and Shrimp Tacos and more! Great Taste and even Better Service! ! Met my sister for Valentines Day lunch and what a “Great Meal” we enjoyed! We both had the Fish sandwich with Broccoli soup ! The lunch was Excellent, but the service by our waitress Ashlee was Better! Ashlee was very attentive to every detail! She was very friendly and helpful, she was Great !

A very, very nice place for dinner. 4ish miles from the Bay City State Park Campground. I had the bourbon salmon and it was great! Sauce wasn't overwhelming the taste of the salmon. Service staff was great and helpful. Everyone was friendly and pleasant.

Our first visit to Lattitude 43. We arrived around d 5:30 and the parking lot was full. A good sign, knowing that lots of people are eating here. We were seated right away and shortly after ordering, our food arrived. I had the Cod Dinner with a Caesar Salad, Redskin Potatoes and a dinner roll. My husband had the Chicken Parmigiano sandwich with in-house made kettle chips. Nice size portions and everything was delicious! Service was top-notch, fast and friendly. We will be eating here again. Just as a side note, I texted the restaurant to find out the story behind their name. A quick response from the owner said that Bay City sits on the 43rd Latitude. Great reason for the name.

I was in town by myself for an event and found them through search as they were close to the hotel I was staying at. It's always encouraging when you pull in to see a full parking lot. It was about 8:00 on a Friday night, I was greeted and sat right away. The service was appropriately paced and very pleasant. I had one of the local brews, the ribeye steak, and a Caesar salad. I finished it with a brownie sundae . All very good and reasonably priced. I'm planning to visit again when I come back in February.

Alex needs a raise. Our server was the highlight of the experience. Super friendly and engaging, and quick and accurate service despite being incredibly busy. Food was really tasty, aside from the really odd tasting mashed potatoes.... If I am ever in the area again I will surely return. Unfortunately I scarfed down the salmon before taking a photo, but I did snap one of the delicious chicken pot pie soup.

The food and service was amazing! Our waitstaff was attentive and prompt with everything. The menu was diverse and offers a good selection in every area. We tried the shrimp tacos, cod dinner, burger, and cheesecake. All very yummy. Atmosphere is slightly dark and dim but overall enjoyed it. Very reasonably priced food.
