I can't believe I've never reviewed this spot after all our years of going here! Slabtown is an…read moreabsolute 'must' for any burger lovers visiting TC; especially in the summertime when you can sit outside on their porch or surrounding patio. It's an old house that has been transformed into a burger destination. The inside is cramped, especially in the order area when they're busy, and indoor seating is tough to come by at peak times. The service has never been anything short of excellent on our visits. The staff is welcoming, helpful, patient, and friendly. Service is quick, even when they're slammed. Phenomenal burgers, O-rings, tots, and sweet potato fries. The Northwood's DRAFT (not fountain) root beer is a perfect pairing with their burgers. Slabtown's menu of specialty burgers is enormous and the BYO options include different protein choices and excellent GF buns. I've tried many of their burgers, but have to say that the Slabby Patty on a pretzel bun and the Pungi's Pepper Patty really stood out as a couple of my favorites. For a really sinful (and unhealthy) treat, ask for the gravy tots. Oh brother...insanely good but definitely a guilty pleasure. We've sent tons of our friends and family here, and I can tell you that every one of them has thanked us for the recommendation and raved about their burgers. So what are you waiting for? Get yourself to Slabtown!

Recently some friends and I found ourselves in the area, conveniently at lunch time, so we stopped and grabbed a burger. I got a mushroom swiss burger and had them hold the lettuce and tomato. My burger was real good, and my friends assured me that theirs were as well. One of my friends got their olive burger and it looked amazing. We got one order of regular fries and one of waffle fries. They have some good dipping sauces for the fries and the two orders were more than enough for the four of us. The service was great and we were impressed with how well they quickly cleaned vacated tables. This is a food truck that travels between a few of the towns up by Cadillac, all seating is outside on picnic tables. I'm glad I finally got to try this place and I'm looking forward to returning.

We didn't end up getting an outdoor table, but we were pleasantly surprised when they seated us almost immediately. Our server was fantastic and very attentive throughout the meal. We had read a few reviews mentioning slow service, but that definitely wasn't our experience. We were 100% satisfied with the service we received. The food was delicious, and there were a lot of great options on the menu. Prices were what you'd expect for this type of restaurant, and we thought everything was well worth it. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the whole place had a great vibe. We were really impressed with Oaky's Tavern and would definitely recommend it to anyone in the Interlochen area. Great food, great service, and a really enjoyable place to grab a meal.

While there is charm in old buildings with slightly wavy floors, these needed the update. Very fresh and light now, beautiful place to dine. We went a little early for dinner, so we were seated right away. By the time we left, there was a wait. We started with some bevs, the lavender blackberry lemonade was amazing, which two of us ordered and loved. Our spouses had local beers and were happy too. We also ordered the Oaky Dokie Bites, an app of little round fried bites of cornbread served with hot honey to dip. Fun food, but not sure I'd order them again. Three of us ordered the special, Fried Michigan walleye fish and chips. One subbed onion rings for fries, while I subbed tots, for mine. We were all very happy with our orders. Fish was fresh and sides were yummy. Hubby got a burger and thought it was excellent. The only downside was how long it took to get our dinners. More than half an hour, and we were early for dinner. I don't mind waiting for food when a restaurant is slammed, that is just how it goes. But we waited so long my husband actually went to check on our food, which is really out of character for him. Not sure if our order was misplaced or something else happened, but it did put a damper on the experience, which otherwise, was great. On our way out, we noticed live music going on outside, a plus worth sharing. Service was also great, except for that extra long wait.

Ordered the Angry Jack Hammer with bison substituted for the beef patty. Cajun seared, fire roasted jalapeños, pepper jack, chipotle sauce -- it had a great kick without being overwhelming. The bison was a nice touch, leaner and cleaner than a standard burger but still packed with flavor. If you're passing through northern Michigan, this place is worth the stop. Will definitely be back next time I'm in the area.

Sure would have been nice to have been told about that prior to ordering drinks and appetizer. And honestly, if you run out of burger, there are plenty of places to pick up some ground beef within a mile of their place. Also out of tea. How do you run out of tea? Get a tea bag and add some water. I guess it is easier to just be lazy and do nothing. Lastly, the bartender is quite the snippy one. I don't think this place has a thought of the customer though from the other reviews I see. Food Well, my wife did get the French Dip. Meat to bun ratio was definitely in the bread and their profit margin side. I'll attach a photo. More like a bread sandwich. Fries are really good. The jalapeño nails were ok. They say they prepare them there, but they sure tasted like frozen and fried. I'll defer to them saying it's in-house, but that isn't saying much for them then. So, 50/50 on the food. Service is not good like others are saying. And it takes forever to get the simplest of menu item. There are a bunch of nice places in Lake City. If I were visiting, I'd avoid this place and take my $$ elsewhere. I read another persons review that the owner was drinkin' in his place and being less than cordial around his customers. I got that vibe all day long here. Your choice. Just saying.
