I've read about this restaurant in various national rankings for chicken dinners ( Best in…read moreMichigan) so I was really looking forward to finally get a chance to eat here. I certainly wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere of this iconic restaurant takes you back to the 50's-60's era. Busboys wearing black bow ties, the host wearing a white shirt and tie. The standard chicken dinner was fantastic with sides including salad, buttery noodles, mashed potatoes with gravy and peas. If you like blue cheese, go with the homemade Roquefort salad dressing. The menu has much more to offer along with their famous chicken. If you're anywhere near the Pelston area, do yourself a favor and have dinner at this restaurant.

Teddy Griffin's is absolutely tremendous. I was absolutely blown away by the place and it was one…read moreof the best dining experiences I've had in some time. First off, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Old school (kind of reminded me of the 70s), good amount of televisions and a lively clientele. Just a very good place to retire to and relax after a day on the golf course or the slopes (Teddy's is right by the Boyne Golf and Ski resort). If you did a quick scan of Teddy's, you would maybe think it was a glorified bar. And you'd be dead wrong. Their food is incredible. My Dad and I each had their North Atlantic Salmon. My dad had his New Orleans Style, with the shrimp and cajun cream sauce on top, andI had mine Pan Grilled with the sun dried tomato pesto sauce. If you factor in every facet of the meal, it may have been the best Salmon dish I've ever had. Both versions were tremendous. Before I get started on the Salmon itself, your choice of side along with a vegetable came with the meal. I got the Potatoes Au Gratin with mine. And I would rank it (conservatively) as a Top 3 Potato Dish that I've had in the last 10 years. I go out to eat quite a bit. Have had a lot of potatoes. Written a lot of reviews. These Potatoes Au Gratin genuinely shocked me with how good they were. They were not complicated (I don't think they even have breadcrumbs) but the cheese flavor on them was just perfect. Like I ate my entire side in about 3 minutes. The only Potato dish I could say comes close to tastiness is Slo's Sweet Potato mash. Incredible side. Now this takes me to the Salmon. The Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Cream sauce is one of the 5 best sauces I've had in the last 10 years. Beyond tasty. I didn't really know if the "pesto" could be incorporated into the sauce heavily (tomato pesto is a pretty rare dish for restaurants to have, much less do well) . I was proven wrong. Sauce had a tremendous pesto flavor and managed to balance the cream and the other ingredients within the sauce perfectly. The only Tomato Pesto I've had that would even be comparable was at Tony's restaurant in Disney World 20 years ago, and I don't even think it's on the menu anymore. An absolutely must try sauce. And they give you tons of it Salmon was perfectly grilled,flaky, moist and had a great, mild flavor to it. You got a nice big piece of it as well. It, along with the sauce, made for one of the best meals I've had in some time. I had some bites of my Dad's Cajun Style and the fish was perfectly blackened while being accompanied by another great sauce. You can't go wrong with the salmon. Our sever Connie was incredible. Drinks were refilled constantly (despite there being a giant crowd at the restaurant) and she was extremely pleasant and informative (it was Connie who steered us towards the amazing Salmon) Absolute 10/10 spot. I'll be back!
