We frequent here a lot! But over Memorial weekend we were really saddened by what we experienced. Firstly, looks like a new waitress joined the team. Long dark hair, young. I think maybe her name was Kendrick? That's what was on our bill. Anyway, the place was not busy. When we sat down, 3 of the prob 5 tables they had got up. It took 20 min for the waitress to even come to our table and she knew we were there bc she had to clean it off for us to sit bc every table not occupied was trashed! (Which the place is usually really clean) We wait 20 min and she finally comes to the table to take our drink order. Team and water, super simple. She walked away and gave other tables beer and water and then I could see her in the back filling ketchup bottles and wiping the counter back there and then she would just stand there bored looking around. We waited another 20 min just to get our tea and water. Like why? Why would she be filling ketchup bottles and standing around and not bringing us our drinks and taking our order? So 40 min of just sitting there and they were not busy! She finally came over with the drinks and started to set them down at another table and realized they weren't for them. She finally made it to our table and took our order but had to come back bc she forgot what my husband ordered within taking 20 steps from the table. We sat there and sat there. It was another 25-30 min and we FINALLY got our food! My husband ordered the chicken tenders, which he gets every time we go there. Usually he gets 4-5 tenders every time we've come in but this day they gave him 3! I mean come on! He's 6' 240 he's a gone man and you dropped the portion size to a kiddie meal? My guess is bc it was a holiday weekend they were skimping on portion sizes so they'd have enough. But for regulars to come in and expect one thing and get another, it was frustrating. He would've ordered something else that would've been filling for a grown man if we knew they'd skimp and give him kids size. My meal was fine, but I wasn't surprised when she forgot to bring everything I asked for on the side. And you guessed it, it took her at least 15 min to bring it so my food sat there and got cold before I could even eat it. She dropped the sides and then not once did she come back. Never checked on us, no refills..nothing. And by this time 3 new tables had come in but the other waitress (Charlie maybe) had taken them and knocking them out of the park. So much so that they had their food, ate and were paying the bill and came in 20 min after us. We sat there and tried to make eye contact with her to get our bill. Our plates were staked at the end of the table, it was clear we were done. We finally flagged her over and told her we needed the bill. We were ready with the cc bc we knew she'd never come back if we didn't. So gave her the cc and she went behind the bar, I watched her cash us out and we got the txt from our cc it went through. She then proceeded to stay behind the bar with our receipt in her black book while she fraternized with the blonde curly hair bar tender. They just stood there having a fun convo with no care in the world. By this time I had enough and just wanted to leave the establishment! It was beyond frustrating that we had to be there for soooooo long! I kid you not, it was a minimum of 15 she stood there talking behind the bar before she saw me staring at her and then she brought the bill. This was definitely NOT the standard service and food quality for Four Ones that we have grown accustomed too. Maybe the girl is new in the serving industry and I get that! I used to serve in my younger years and my daughter's serve. But there's absolutely no reason to be cleaning and filling bottles or standing around talking to coworkers when you have tables to serve. If your tables have everything they need, eh I get it. But the service was just absolutely horrible and beyond frustrating! On top of that, the being shorted food portion was frustrating as well. The portion size has always been consistent and fills my husband up, so we felt taken advantage of and ripped off with the kids portion. Anyway, I know it's hard to keep waitstaff, but PLEASE, teach this girl how to be a good waitress and provide good service! It makes a HUGE difference in your business. We usually are there at least 3-4 times a weekend when we go up there and after that day, we decided to take our business elsewhere bc we did not want to be there for over 2 hours again and have kiddie meals and crappy service. We want to support you and see you succeed, but you won't with a server like that. read more

Shout out to the owner Megan. I was searching for a great glass of wine with dinner. She served me a delicious glass of Caymus! So hard to find in restaurants let alone in a small town in northern Michigan. It paired well with my Michigan cherry salad with grilled chicken. Great atmosphere and menu. And many great wine selections too. Definitely recommend! read more

From the food to the drinks to the service, this restaurant was top notch! Megan was so friendly and informative during our visit. I highly recommend the Bloody Mary and Quesadilla burger while my friend thought the onion rings were delicious! So glad we chose Four One Landing for lunch today! We will be back. read more

We will start with the positives. Our waitress was quite proud of this establishment and she wore it with pride. I appreciated her passion for her restaurant. As for the food, meh. My husband had a shredded Reuben sandwich. Wait, yes shredded, it was not listed as such but though minimal, what was in the sandwich was shredded. My Michigan salad had four small slices of cold chicken. The remaining ingredients were good. In general, the protein is served light. As noted by another review, the table of locals were beyond obnoxious. I would have liked to have introduced the concept of an inside voice but believe it would have fallen on deaf ears. By the time they departed I was equally aware of their political passions, their beer preferences, how often they use the men's room and how Keno brings them joy. I hope they spend a lot of money here because they are far more likely to return than we are. read more

I was invited to come to an open mic. I brought my friends and family keyboard player drummer and ate and was anticipating having a great night. I actually needed a good night . I really needed it. The owner said I couldn't sing and wouldn't let me sing anymore. It's an open mic. I'm trying not to let this ruin my new years eve but I'll never return. I can't remember what the food was like I just remember it was the worst new years eve. Peace out. read more

Four One Landing - Bars Near Me - Au Gres, Michigan

Walked in I ordered carry out again, and a beer while I wait. The place was busy, the conditioned air working. Beer while I wait, 2nd beer because they were busy, But, then the bar tender said your wife's order is ready but no one told me we ran out of your order (Ruben burger with onion rings) well quickly let's sub in a plain burger. Got home after third beer to find no onion rings as ordered ...... the chicken gyro was weak maybe 3oz of chicken and the fries soggy. No matter the name of the place they just can't provide the order as advertised. Sad If you can't provide the advertised special order the menu provided item something is wrong. Gotta do better! read more

When they're busy you might have a bit of a wait but it's worth it. I had the jalapeño popper burger and it was really good. The staff if very friendly and will do their best to make your visit a good one. read more

The burger, salads, soups are really great - good quality ingredients and effort put into the meal. I've been going to this restaurant for 20 years and these new owners are by far operating the best restaurant. Hope they keep at it! Au Gres needed some good options!!! read more

Loved this place. Service was great...food was delicious. Local experience (ambiance) is just what we love. We had the CBR wrap and rueben sandwich. #America. #PureMichigan. read more

First of all, the food is mediocre. The main problem was that some of the patrons were throwing around racial slurs and talking about immigrants ruining the country. I know this isn't against the law. I do happen to be an Immigrant and I was very offended by the language they used. I even complained to staff. As a business, they should set boundaries for the sake of decency. I just wish they would have gone to the table and ask the folks to pipe down. However, the person that waited on me was very attentive. read more

Stopped in on a drive. Beautiful old building, clean bathrooms, good root beer and better burgers

First off, the server Paula...was amazing. 10/10 service from her. She was polite, not pushy and refilled our drinks very fast. And even helped my daughter stay entertained. The 1 star comes from the food. There is not much to eat in this area. But this food was trash. My quesadilla was soggy, fried mushrooms were very very moist, burger was the texture of a hockey puck, and the lettuce from my salad was obviously wet...like dripping wet. On top of that the chicken had ZERO flavor.. Come here for drinks and Paula, not food. read more

To add $4 shrimp to your pasta, be prepared for only 3 pieces of shrimp with the tails still on. We also asked for a soup that was never received, but paid for. Extremely unhappy. read more

If I ever received the right condiments, I'd pass out. Ordered take-out burger and fries 3 times with mustard, ketchup, and onion. I got a plain burger with a piece of onion and not even ketchup and mustard packets all three times. read more

Four One Landing - a sandwich and french fries - Bars Near Me - Au Gres, Michigan

Food was over prices for p portions. Over cooked. Service was great. Ambiance neutral.

Cant get orders right. Went in with family and the waiter didn't even order a dinner that he wrote down. COme ot the table to tell me he didn't place my order and said he could make a "bar" food. I said no I'd like the liver and onions originally ordered. He walked away and never got a dinner. Now we try again. Becuase it is after 4pm they can't take carry out orders over the phone because they are busy. Come to the restaurant place an order and wait in an already supposed busy establishment. Get there and they obviously do not know what busy is. Not a fan. read more

I had high hopes for this place. Our waiter was nice, the prices were reasonable. However, we were very disappointed after the first bite. My boyfriend ordered a chicken sandwich that was extremely undercooked. The chicken looked RAW on the inside. This is just completely unacceptable for a restaurant. You can't sell people SALMONELLA SANDWICHES!!!! Not to mention, the cooks can't seem to follow instruction. I asked for NO bacon on my chicken wrap and what did I taste after one bite? BACON!! read more

Not good, we went in for lunch, ordered 2 burgers , cooked well done received 2 burgers partially raw, returned to be recooked received 2 burgers so dripping with grease it was running out of the bun onto the plate, soaked the bun with grease charged us $20, no relief for lousy food never again read more

If you like mediocre service and subpar food, this is the place for you! Went for Mother's Day dinner and it was AWFUL. All of our food needed to be sent back, asked for things that were on the menu and were brought completely different items, without being told or even asked if the substitution was okay. We were SO disappointed, as the previous owners did such a good job with the place. Save your tastebuds and your money, trust me. read more

Ali's is the best! Food is amazing. ranch is so good our 4 year old nephew was drinking it out of the little plastic cups they have gluten free hamburger buns too! A must stop spot up north. read more

Been here many many times as we have a cottage there. The food was always amazing....however, that credit goes to the previous owners and management. Since the change over, the service is horrible and the food even worse. The previous owner made things fresh. Homemade onion rings for example. New owner/management, changed over to frozen bc they're lazy. The steak was disgusting to say the least. It was literally 1/4" thick and was all curled up and dry and tough. The "Rachel" sandwich I had tasted weird so I pulled it apart and the turkey was GREEN!!! I'm all for supporting small family run businesses, but this place is now just gross. They always have some excuse why they do things wrong. I just can't support them any longer. I wish them all the best, but food like this is going to get them shut down. It's a shame they just don't care. Another loss for AuGres! It's truly so sad! read more

Delicious chicken salad. That being said this is a wonderful, casual place for food and spirits. Friend ordered Fried Chicken and he is very pleased. Will have to come back and make our way through the menu. 4 stars and 4 thumbs up. read more

Locals place I would def bring the family here when in town to a of menu choices and some veggie options

Ali's Up North was outstanding home cooked food. We had the patty melt, a chicken salad, chili and the fried mushrooms. Everyone was very happy. Everything was fresh and the restaurant/bar was clean. We'll visit on our way through the next time. read more

We showed up with fourteen people and everyone really enjoyed their food. We had burgers, reubens, cod sandwiches, salads, lemon pepper perch, tater kegs (OMG!), pasta... we ate a lot and all of us were extremely happy. From age 10 to 75, all good reviews. We spend the summers up here and have been coming to Ali's since it opened (and Dunleavy's before Ali bought it). We all agreed that Ali had really brought it to a higher level this year. They have it figured out and the menu had all sorts of good options. For all fourteen of us to be satisfied, including our special diet folks (gluten free), that is something we rarely accomplish. Try it out. Hopefully you will be as happy as we are! We'll be back. read more

We have been eating there for years. They have great food at a fair price. The owners and their staff treat you like family and do so much for our community!! They have some of the best food Up North!! read more

Nice people. Good good. Burger a tad small but tasty. Love the soups. Had a very welcoming experience Will go back when I'm in au gres. Which is often as I have just purchased a lake house on Lake Huron. Lucky me. read more

Four One Landing - a menu for a restaurant - Bars Near Me - Au Gres, Michigan

Stopped by on my weeks vacation where I returned to the area of the state I'm originally from, back when Ali's was dunlevys. From the moment I entered the bar I was greeted with a smile from Ryan. From the first sentence shared with me, she was making jokes which made the establishment feel very welcoming. Through conversation I was able to gather that Ali was a wonderful boss who truly cares about her business and her employees- the type of person you do not feel bad about giving them your money. The atmosphere was warm, the drinks were made well (a Robert Roy, and a martini), and the soup was amazing. The drinks and the soup was reasonably priced. I gave the establishment four out of five, because I wasn't thorough enough with the food menu and I was slightly disheartened at the lack of gin and scotch selection. Excellent place to stop, I suggest it. read more

Love this place have for over 10 yrs. My daughter and I stop every time we pass thru which is at least one a month. I even have a sweathshirt . Jackie bartender amazing to read more

Just bad. If your thinking of eating here, don't. I had the philly cheese steak and it was ok but almost everything else that the rest of my family ordered was not good but if you like bland weird diner food this is for you but if you under the age of 70 I don't recommend read more

Ali's (the former Dunleavy's Eatery and Pub) is the best place to eat in Au Gres. Hands. Down. Good atmosphere, lots of booths and tables, and great food. The specials are delicious and reasonably priced. There are some activity nights you should take note of: If you choose to go on an NFL game night, there probably will be a lot of folks in there watching on the big screen. With lots of whooping and hollering going on. So if that isn't your thing, don't go during big sports games. lol There are "art" nights, where people come in and paint pictures, and drink together. There are also occasional parties or receptions in the larger area in the rear. I've never been disappointed here yet. Not in the past, or now. read more

Not sure about the food since I left before ordering anything. I looked at the new menu (new owner 2020) and was glad to see a vegetarian burger and sorry to see the Lake Perch gone. But I didn't feel comfortable eating there during a pandemic. No one, not the employees or patrons, wore masks. Have no idea if they wipe down menus or tables with disinfectant but seemingly they take no precautions to protect employees and patrons from possible infection. This may not bother some people but I'm not interested in risking my health for a meal. read more

Lots of menu choices. The Asian fish tacos on Friday nights are fantastic. The fish and chips were good too. Very friendly staff and clean atmosphere. read more

Stopped in on our way up north for dinner. Walked through the door and was met by a person who sat us and took our drink order. When the drinks came she indicated our server would be right over. We looked at the menu's and made our choice. We waited approximately 10 minutes with no one coming over. I asked the person who got our drinks where our server was, she assured us the server would be right over. Meanwhile, the people sitting across from us said "run, run away while you can". We kind of laughed, waited another 8 minutes (set the timer now at this point) we got up to leave. Gave the bar tender $2 for the ice tea and left. Know the place is at 50% capacity with 4 servers. Shouldn't have to wait 20 minutes to give a food order. We stopped there a couple of years ago with no issues. DON'T BLAME COVID - There were less than 20 people in the place with 4 servers. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Love Friday nights as they generally have some entertainment and good specials.

We just arrived in Au Gres for the week and decided to give Ali's a try. We started with fried mushrooms and onion rings. Homemade and deliciously light batter. My teens have vowed to come back and just order appetizers. Next came a spicy crab soup (perfect amount of heat) and the pan-fried perch. Perch was fresh and perfectly fried. We will be back! read more

My family went there for dinner tonight not one employee was wearing a mask no sign on door saying you must wear a mask just it is suggested we left. I have always liked this place until today. They have lost my business read more

We went here two nights in a row during a recent fishing trip. I had prime rim the first night and fresh walleye (that we caught), the second night. The atmosphere was nice, staff was friendly and the food was pretty good. Priced fairly, I would recommend it to anyone in town to try. read more

Pretty good place. Had a salad and bloody mary on the way home from Alpena.
