Danielle was our waitress and she was very attentive and pleasant. She fended off well my brother's marriage proposal (if he was 40 years younger, taller, had hair, better looking, a nicer personality, and was rich he might have had a chance). Anyhow, your basic breakfast fare. I got the western skillet and the brother ordered the breakfast burrito. They were excellent! I mean, very tasty. I hope The Nest catches on as a breakfast destination.

And then when the waitress came by to the table next to us which came in after us. I explained we still haven't been waited on and the Waitress (owners girl friend) proceeded to get shitty with me. Told me to look around and see what was going on. I can tell you what was going on, it was a lot of tables that have been sitting there and not being waited on. Waiting tables is not her thing especially when a place is busy. customer service is not be her calling!

Lately, the service has been unpredictable and today was truly a disappointing experience. My wife asked for water three times and never received it, no plates were provided with our appetizers, and the service was just overall slow and inattentive, which was frustrating given that the place was practically empty. It's nice to have an option downtown to dine in, but today's experience will definitely encourage me to start looking elsewhere.

It was a Thursday and I was in town (Live 64 miles from Petoskey) for a Doc appointment and a bit…read moreof shopping. I had done a bit of research the day before .. looking for restaurants in the area. When I noticed that the Side Door had Prime Rib on special, (Wed-Sat) the decision was made. DISCLAIMER: I had eaten at the Side Door a few years ago (Cilantro Lime Shrimp W/Pasta) Me and my neighbor arrived at about 4:45PM, and were greeted with a warm smile and seated immediately ... we were kinda early for the dinner rush so there was plenty of available seating. (NOTE: When we departed about an hour after we arrived, the place was FULL and a line was forming for a table.) We both ordered the 14oz Black Angus Prime Rib (10oz also available). About the same time that we finished the first beer, dinner was served! Simply one of ... if not Thee best, PR that I have had in several years, across 11 states. My neighbor agreed. Both of us now try to plan our Petoskey trips to coincide with dinner at the Door My ONLY complaint is that the horseradish was weak. Actually, it seemed that it had been washed into submission .. totally without any flavor or "bite". The rest of the meal made up for it. (But I *will* bring some nose-incinerating, sinus-creating horseradish from home on the next planned trip.) Service: Superb. We never had to ask for anything. Drinks were refilled with perfect timing. And always smiling. She is an asset to the establishment. Driving Suggestion: Depending on the season and the time of day, if arriving from the North, it can be nearly impossible to make the left turn into the Side Door. Suggestion: Turn Right into the strip mall (KFC, AT&T, etc) and use the traffic light near the gas station to turn left, back onto the highway then a right into the Side Door Saloon for some of the best dining in the Petoskey area. Ample Parking is available. YMMV

We were able to get two seats at the bar on a busy Friday night. The bartenders were fantastic...so friendly, fast, and attentive to all at the bar that it was impressive. We had a couple of drinks and the gyro and wings. Both were really good. The gyro was full of meat and the pita fluffy. The wings were perfectly juicy and the sauce was tasty. I only wish they had an option to order a smaller amount. 8 is a lot for us at a sitting, but because they were so good, we took them to the hotel and ate them the next day. The energy of the place is great. Highly recommend.

We walked in here and were immediately greeted by the bartender Theresa who introduced herself by name.
