Okay Brennan's, I see you!…read more From the outside, Brennan's is pretty unassuming, but also incredibly cute. The best way I can describe it is modern, traditional, and farmhouse-inspired all at the same time. They have this beautiful ironwork sign out front with their name on it, and it immediately caught my attention. The real star of my visit, though, was Emerson. She was absolutely amazing. She took the time to explain everything they had to offer and gave me plenty of space to look over the menu before ordering. I ordered the Pigeon River Latte and wasn't even thinking about the milk situation. Emerson asked if I wanted whole milk, which immediately reminded me that I am lactose intolerant and that choice would have ended my day very badly . That extra step showed a level of attentiveness that you don't always find. She wasn't just taking an order. She was actually thinking about the customer in front of her, and that deserves recognition. Emerson also explained that most of their menu items, along with many of the products in their refrigerator cases, are locally sourced. The only exception is the burritos. I absolutely love that. Since I'm also a kombucha girlie, I grabbed the "Bumble Blossom Jasmine" and the "Be Still" from Bailey's Farms to try. Both were great choices. The space itself was clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. Parking was easy to find right out front. To be fair, I arrived around 8:00 a.m. right when they opened, so if parking had been difficult, I probably would have been concerned lol. Another detail I appreciated was finding resources in the restroom related to women's safety. It's a small thing, but it showed me that they care about creating a safe environment for their customers. I was also excited to learn that they offer delivery. Since I'm in town working with my team, and many of us are up and moving well before 6:30 a.m., knowing they're open at 6:00 a.m. on weekdays and can deliver is a huge plus. Overall, I highly recommend Brennan's. If you find yourself in Gaylord, Michigan, give them a shot. They earned every bit of this 10 out of 10.

Lori was willing to work with us to get exactly what we wanted and, despite already having had several commitments to other weddings to make their cakes for that same weekend, still took on the challenge to make ours. Would highly recommend, probably the best cake you'll ever have! Bonus: It's fun to smush on your significant other's face too

They have a pretty decent variety of doughnuts in addition to other guilty pleasures like breads and cookies. Buy everything fresh made today or off the day-old rack. You can also fill out an order form and return another time. The prices are in line and the people are friendly. The shoppe isn't very big but I've never seen a large crowd. It's a must stop when we're down here. 01/24

The ceremony was conducted in the attached wedding garden followed by a cocktail reception indoors. While seated for dinner, the extravagantly folded napkin caught my eye.

Five minutes in front of a drive-thru speaker is totally unacceptable. Then the woman has the audacity to deny they forgot about us. Whatever This is the only TH in Michigan that hasn't the capacity to sell soup or chili. Probably the best fast food chili in the world and they don't offer it. Kinda strike two. Aha! They managed a couple stars with the peppermint timbits and the fabulous hot coffee! Oh no! They forgot my receipt. I have no choice. I Must submit all receipts at the end of the day. The younger girl with the glasses flipped the windows open and snapped at me. "ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMETHING?" When I explained my receipt situation, she looked at me as if I'd just grinched her kid's Christmas presents. Then came the eye roll, followed by the heavy, pissed-off, sigh. Bye bye stars, strike three, adios. They automatically get one star, but, Yelp needs to seriously consider 1/2 stars or a "zero star" option. 12/23

The youngest of our daughters recently married the man of her dreams in Gaylord, Michigan, a lovely…read moretown in the north of the state, but one with which I was totally unfamiliar. After a couple of trips up there, I found BJ's and the experience with them was as close to perfect as it gets. First, the staff, including front-liners Ronda and Elizabeth, were stellar. They were pleasant, knowledgable, cooperative and willing to provide whatever it was our daughter desired and that was just in the planning stages. They proved to be problem-solvers along the way with both the catering and the rental of all of the equipment, tables, chairs, pews, bars, tents and the like for an outdoor wedding on a beautiful Northern Michigan lake. Weather was a factor on set-up day, including rain and hail, but they persevered through it all and on the big day, BJ's had so many people there that it was astonishing. Everything--and I mean everything--went off just beautifully as our daughter and her new husband, together with family and friends, had the times of their lives in an evening that won't soon be forgotten. Guests went out of their way to let me know how good the food was and everyone celebrated well into the night. The BJ's staff was there and on each little issue that arose, e.g. running out of vodka whereupon they dispatched someone to the store. Moreover, all of this for 200 guests did not cost my life savings. Everything was spelled out in advance and was reasonably priced in my estimation. I would recommend BJ's to anyone for any sort of event and if I had any more daughters (please don't jinx me), I would go back to this company without hesitation. Thanks to each of the BJ's staff for making the wedding a day and night for our daughter to remember always. As a dad, that's all I ever wanted.
