I would really recommend coming to the El-Bo if you are in the area and if you're looking for a change from their delicious burgers, then try a special we were not disappointed and we're very happy to pack our leftovers for lunch the next day.

Asking us what we were doing and why we were there. We Said we were just waiting for the restaurant to open and had hoped to find a calm spot to grill on the back of our boat. She started threatening to call the cops and how could we possibly do that with a gas boat. She looked at us moms and said you would do that to your kids? At that point we left, but she definitely lost our business and i would never go here after the rudeness we had with just trying to fond a spot to wait and have a drink.

The service has always been exceptional and friendly in the more than 10 years I've been coming here. The ambiance is very Northwoods, which may be to your liking (it certainly is for me) or not, but it aligns very well with the history and part of Michigan it which it resides.

The mushroom soup was just okay. There was too much pepper in the soup. The hot toddy was a good drink. The elk meatloaf was just okay. The bbq sauce was a little too sweet. The mushroom pasta was not good at all. It was so unbelievably bland. Over $40 for the most bland pasta I've ever had. I am not sold at this point in coming back. Again, the service was amazing! The food was not worth it for the price.

We have been dining at Bennethum's for 15+ years based on all of these. The best upscale, (but not pretentious) option in the Gaylord area. Josh and his family go the extra mile to insure their guests feel welcome and receive great service. On our most recent visit, I had the Perch, a menu staple. Always fresh, lightly dusted and flash fried, nice portion and great flavor. Accompanied with jasmine rice and green beans. My wife had the BNI Blue Wedge Salad, blue cheese dressing , applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, onion, with shrimp added for protein. Shrimp were plump, juicy and flavorful. And a meal is not complete without a loaf of their BNI bread. :) Great cocktails, warm ambiance. Be sure to check them out when in Gaylord area.

One ordered the pulled pork and it was perfect. The other 2 of us decided to split a perch dinner. When the food arrived we were all hungry. We dug into the perch. After a few bites, it was clear that this was NOT perch. The server stopped by, and I asked her what, exactly we were eating. She had no clue, but agreed that it was not perch. We never did get an answer, but got a 25% cut off the bill. This was very disappointing. And because of this, we did not return for more dinners as we had planned. C'mon 211. Y'all are better than this.
