Our visit to the Back Lot was horrible! The bar service was disastrous! The 2 drinks we were able…read moreto order were made incorrect. One was a Gypsy vodka and cranberry juice, don't know what the tender put in it, but it was not cranberry juice. Asked for a replacement, was told he didn't make the drink, he was the only tender there! The second drink he made was a mule, it took him 15 minutes to make it, then couldn't figure out how to charge the credit card. Our party of 9 then left. The tender told us it was his second night, shame on the owners for leaving someone so incapable running their business. Not only did this poor choice loose business for the Back Lot Bar, but for West Coast sliders, we were all going to get good there. Only gave one star because it wouldn't let me give none. The good I did get at West Coast was 5 stars!

Great food, great beer, great music and great service. It was all around a great experience.read more

Man if you love a great Coney Island, this is a must stop in Charlevoix. Tucked on a side street…read morewith just 3 parking spots it's a mini Coney heaven. Perfectly steamed buns with a delish roasted dawg slathered with tasty chili, sweet chopped onions & pure yellow mustard! Their fries are fresh, crispy but fluffy innards. They carry loads of canned pop (Verner's if you please) but also offer fountain service. Quick, clean & friendly servers who hassle their sumptuous treats from the one man kitchen to your booth. Lots of skateboarding decor & you are asked to bus your own table. Minor issue after a pair of goodies, fries & a Doc Brown's Vanilla Cream Soda. Trust me in this one - beats the joints in the 313 district!

There were only 8 other people in the place, but it was comfortable and the service was quick and friendly. We ordered the Fish and Chips and a Chicken and Gouda Salad. The fish and chips were very disappointing as there was only 4 little pieces of fish. The fries were good though. It was not at all worth $21.00. The salad was ample enough, but the chicken was dry and the dressing was way too sweet. The shredded gouda did add an interesting flavor profile. I can't say we would recommend eating here.

Everyone stood in an unmoving line and whoever was next in line got that table. So there was no option to walk around. We were given a noticeably dirty water glass. They put the 'slim' in their Slim Jim, and the smoked brisket sandwich had such little meat, it tasted like roast beef, was fatty, and the horsey aioli just tasted like plain mayo. Fine if you are desperate but don't expect much.
