Sam also kept Scott's coffee topped off the entire time, which was a nice touch and much appreciated. The food came out surprisingly fast, and you could tell it was homemade. We both ordered eggs over easy with hash browns, toast, bacon, and ham, and everything was cooked perfectly. The real standout, though, was the biscuits and gravy. They were absolutely delicious and will definitely be ordering those again. The restaurant was clean, the staff was welcoming and helpful, and the prices were extremely reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. We're so glad we found this place. It's officially our new regular breakfast spot, and we highly recommend it!

I tried the Spiced Lamb Burger, very unique and tasty, and the spiral fries were delicious! Our table also enjoyed Mahi Mahi Tacos and the Southern Chicken and Biscuit sandwich, both very good. The cheesecake with Carmel sauce...wow. The slice was huge, with super creamy texture, just excellent. Also for dessert, I had a seasonal cocktail "All Too Welll", like pumpkin pie in a martini glass! Mom also enjoyed her Carmel Apple Cauldron. Looking forward to going back, this will definitely make our list of favorite spots when we are up north !

They were so filling that I almost ordered another round, but honestly, one order was more than enough.

There's a beautiful view, a patio, a rooftop, and TVs everywhere on the main floor, so you won't miss a second of the game. Whether you're there to catch sports, enjoy the scenery, or just have a great meal, they've got you covered. The service was friendly, fast, and the restaurant was clean.

I seen a Mac n cheese bowl topped with brisket omg sooooo good Pro tip: Check them out on Taco Tuesday! And one thing I really loved it's kid-friendly! I saw families with kids enjoying themselves while others were watching the game and friends were high-fiving over a beer. It truly has that welcoming, family atmosphere that makes you want to come back. I'll definitely be visiting again!

They give you your drink and that's about it - no other service.

We were ignored when we sat down. I had to ask someone to come take our drink order. I chalked it up to new helper. We came back this past Saturday and experienced the same thing. This time, the staff blatantly ignored us, even looked directly at us and still did not come over to bring silverware or take our drink order. We finally got up and left after watching the staff help people that came in after us. We will not return. The staff working there have no clue regarding customer service. We would spend on average $70 each visit on food and drinks. We found another place in town.

Daughter and son in law wanted us to check this out, so we went on a Thursday evening. We ordered some local beer and tried the fried ravioli as a starter. This was very well done and tasted very good. The cheese wheel pasta was what we all ordered for dinner...Hub and I split a portion and I found it to be quite generous. They rolled the wheel up and talked about the 600 days old cheese...gave us a quick tasting and then started the presentation on scrapping the cheese and turning the fresh made pasta in the wheel. They finished off a quick fresh cracked pepper. This dish is simply amazing and the price point blew me away at only 28 dollars. What a bargain. I may never be back as I rarely come to Michigan, but I will say this is a memorable meal. They definitely do not rush your experience, so expect a longer dining experience. The inside is a beautiful interior, and they finished the meal with a house made limoncello shot.
