Can't beat this place when it's nice out and you can get a table closest to the water for a great view while you eat and drink! Service was friendly and attentive. Ordered Dragon Bites, Pickle Chips, wings and side salad. Still 4 stars because food is not the best but the view and service make up for it. read more

Yuck. The food is pretty bad. We got the deluxe nachos which weren't very deluxe and needed more cheese. We also got the pretzel bites and beer cheese and it was pretty tasteless. Nice atmosphere though. read more

Service was great, food was good and the outside patio area and bar were very nice. We very much enjoyed our lunch outside together having a drink. read more

Very disappointed in dinner last night. Started with he wrong beer. Then waitress didn't refill our water so we had to get it ourselves. For the finally they forgot to put the meat on my Philly sandwich. The said they were remaking it but considering how burnt it was they just reheated it. read more

4 stars are entirely about the deck and the view. Nothing to do with the food. most recently we watch snow geese fly by. So cool! We still come here every year during our annual trip to MI. Just keep your food expectations low and enjoy the surroundings. We would not go, if we couldn't sit on the porch. Have been there when the porch is packed and it's always fun people watching. Most recently there were very few people and we also thoroughly enjoyed the quiet. read more

Terrible attitude from the bartender inside tonight. Nothing about the wait staff was friendly or welcoming. Food was average, batter on some of my fried food was not done. read more

The service here is sooo bad! Girls that really don't care if you the customer are having a nice dining experience. Close behind to terrible service is the food! From fish sandwich to a chef salad to a byo burger...they missed on every entree. Tried to explain to our server and she told us "oh, that's not good" please don't expect anything better than a poorly run, low food quality hole in the wall bar. Drinks are good. read more

What a great afternoon with sunshine, friends, drinks and some delicious food. This is a hot spot for bikers. Over looks the Muskegon River up on Hardy Dam. During the summer they have a band almost every night. read more

Ordered a take out all beef burrito and it was so bad I couldn't eat it. they put an American cheese slice on top became they ran out of shredded cheddar, so instead of informing me and giving me the option to order something else, nothing said. Not going back. read more

Horrible service. Arrived on a very slow afternoon. And sat there for 30 min. Without getting served. Got up and walked out. Don't waste your time. read more

Got here and there were only a few people here. Many people showed up while we waited. The service was SUPER slow. We ordered the loaded fries and when they finally came out they had clearly sat and cooled down. My chicken club salad had a very small dry chicken breast on it but it was okay, nothing special. My wife had ordered the vegetable soup and it came out looking more like chili and she only had a few bites, she said it was awful. The waitress was totally confused and unorganized. She didn't even know what the soup of the day was and never bothered to find out. We ended up asking another waitress. The burgers sounded good but I will never find out because I'll never eat here again. It's too bad because the view is excellent and it's a perfect halfway point for a nice motorcycle ride. read more

It's too bad I have to give this place one star just to write a review! We came through here on a poker run with 40 to 50 other motorcycles. We stood in line at the bar to place our order, a draft beer and a diet pop $9.00. Our thank you for standing in line waiting to in order and get served at the bar was a 20% gratuity tacked onto the bill. That's your reward for not having a waitress come out to the table. We will not be back! There are too many other good options in the very close area. read more

Biker bar. Terrible service. Must be completely drunk to eat the burger. Ate here a few times and they are charcoalized if that is a thing. Could be fun though if this is your thing. read more

I grew up in this area and never have set foot in here until today. Great bar and outdoor patio. They have the local bar food menu. We both tried a burger and it was impressive. The chicken gizzards were some of the best read more

Great lunch spot! Haven't had a meal I didn't enjoy yet! Love the live local bands and the outside deck. Great with the locals too.

Lived in Newaygo growing up but never came here until coming back in to town to visit my parents. I went on a Friday afternoon and ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap with house chips...and I loved it! Real good food, friendly service, with my familiar small-town feel. read more

Poor service, short staffed and NO Fish. Was very disappointed in the other hand the burgers were decent

The waitress said the burgers were good so I went for the Blackened burger. Good bar burger with blackening spice and pepper jack cheese on a kaiser bun with fries and a deli pickle. Went well with the Bells Two Hearted Ale that they had on tap. If your looking for a good small town bar burger I'd say this fits the bill. read more

If the weather is conducive sit outside. Great water view. Food was very good and was served fast and hot. I would have a hard time picking between the chips and the fries. Both are amazing. read more

Yes on a busy Sunday afternoon with a live band it does take a while for your food (45 Minutes). The food is very good and so is the service. It's a nice place with a great view and free live music on Saturday & Sunday afternoons in the summer read more

Don't bother. I asked the waitress what the soup of the day was and she stated, "I don't know." I assumed when she came back she would have found out. She still didn't know. The service was extremely slow and the food was cold. We ordered salads and soup (not sure what we were getting), and a plate of fries. The fries came way before the salad and soup. Not worth the stop. read more

Great food & wonderful service. We like this little joint. When we are in the area out on the "Bike" this is ALWAYS a must stop place for us. I am disappointed however that they have gotten rid of the fish fry. Many menus options available to please everyone even those with the most discerning palates! read more

Good food, cold beer, pretty waitresses. When finding a small bar/restaurant in the north woods none of those 3 things are common, but driftwood had all three. The food was cooked fresh and was very good. I had a reuben. They had 3 or 4 microbrews on tap. The service was fast and waitresses were nice. I was there at lunchtime on a friday. They were not very busy at the time which I understand could make a difference. read more

Northern Michigan bar serving bar food. Over cooked burgers might be the most popular thing on the menu. Stick with a deep appetizer it will be less of a disappointment. read more

A great place that makes you feel like family. Great entertainment and specials on the deck in the summer. It feels like home every time I walk in the door. read more

Have only ever been for a Sunday funday on their gorgeous deck with a kickin' band. The view is beyond compare and for that alone it gets 5 stars... read more

Driftwood Grill is our favorite place to go for a good burger, music, and fantastic atmosphere on the deck overlooking Croton Pond. Don' t go if you're in a hurry 'cause it's a laid back atmosphere of people just enjoying being together. Love the weekends with the bands on the deck. read more
