    You're making a mistake if you don't stop here. Shakes, burgers, fries; everything is immaculate in quality and originality.

    Yummy fries!! Steak sandwich was hearty; the fish sandwich was fish and not just breading.

    The custard hits that perfect spot between sweet and too sweet and the flavors are fantastic.

My wife's mushroom Swiss burger was amazing with great big chunks of sautéed mushrooms and absolutely fantastic homemade onion rings. My daughter demolished her mini corn dogs. I had the chicken Parmesan sandwich, which was fantastic, and the handcut fries made it even better. Our server, Marianah, was super helpful, friendly, and attentive. We are a little over a week into our trip around the upper Peninsula and this is the first restaurant we have ate at that we all gave an absolutely perfect score to! We will be back next time we are up north!

There's ample street parking and easy entry points. The bar is huge! It takes up nearly half of the restaurant and has great views of the bay. The food is good with generous portions. We both ordered the fish fry, mine with a bit of Cajun seasoning. The fish is prepared in fork-friendly bites and was very tasty. The batter was light and stayed crispy until it was all gone. I'm not one to rave about coleslaw but it is good here. It has the perfect crunch and isn't over-dressed (I don't enjoy soggy, wet slaw). Lots of local taps as well, perfect for all of that food. But it's the service, namely Sylvia (Trixie) that makes this a solid stop. She was hustling, greeting everyone, busing food and dishes, all while singing along with the bar playlist. She checked with every table as she went along, never letting anyone feel forgotten or overlooked. As the crowd thinned she had a few minutes to chat with us - she's a friendly ball of energy and an asset to Skipper's. We'd come back and sit in her section anytime!

Our servers were attentive and helpful, however, we had to wait for almost an hour for the food to arrive given their adequately staff. Hubby ordered the Den burger with burger and I had the shrimp ragotoni. I enjoyed the homemade pasta but the entree was a bit heavy with the cream sauce but it does have great flavors. Love they have KBC beers on tap and the blueberry ale was very refreshing. Overall, this is a solid choice in downtown Houghton with lakeside view and good menu options. Do keep in mind that prices are a bit high given it's in the UP. Also, you pay extra for protein in pasta entrees as well as bread in appetizers that's usually included.

    We sat on the patio (dog-friendly!) around 5:30pm on a Tuesday evening. The patio overlooks the…read morewater, and there's about 6-7 tables total. The server told us the specials for the day, and I remember there being a LOT - almost as much as what was on the regular menu! We almost got the chicken wings special, but we ordered the burrata caprese appetizer and added prosciutto for $4. It was good! For entrees, I ordered the duck breast, which seems to be a staple item from here. I ordered it medium rare and it was definitely medium at best, but still tender. It is not a huge portion, and I would've like the skin crispier, but the meat itself had great flavor. It sits on a bed of parsnip puree with a blood orange reduction (a little too sweet and too much of it on the plate for me) and sauteed spinach. It left me just satisfied enough, but still a bit hungry. My fiancé got the flank steak, which was probably around 8 oz but the menu doesn't list it, with french fries and some sauteed vegetables. He said he was actually pleased with the type, portion, and cook on the vegetables. The french fries are that "old-fashioned" style, which I really like! And the chimichurri sauce was fresh and flavorful. The service was mid - sometimes it was fairly quick and attentive, other times we felt like we were waiting a long time to be tended to. For a more local, seasonal, "farm-to-table"-esque meal, this is probably the closest you will get in Houghton. The front desk at our hotel said she heard this restaurant was pricey/expensive, but I thought it was pretty fair!
