I ordered the Rodeo Burger ($13), a 7oz patty with cheddar cheese, onion rings, and bbq sauce. The burger was very good. Good quality beef cooked perfectly to my requested medium. I devoured it. I got potato wedges with it. They were huge and hotter than the sun. They barely cooled down by the time my burger was finished. Besides burning my tongue, lol, they were very good. I would definitely get both again. The service was very good and friendly. Overall a 4 star review. Would I return? Yes. This may not fall into my favorite best burgers it is very good and if I lived in the area it would definitely be in my rotation of burgers

We thought going there around 5-6pm would be better but we waited about 15-20 minutes before we asked someone if we'd get a server. We waiting another 10 minutes before someone came over. They also forgot to put in some of our food orders. The actual food was decent bar food but not worth the hassle. Would definitely go back for just drinks and hanging out with friends though.

This place is truly something special. The dining space isn't your typical restaurant when you…read morefirst walk in, but don't let that fool you, this is some of the best food in Big Rapids. I'd even put it up against most spots in Mount Pleasant! The menu is smaller and rotates, which I appreciate because it means everything is fresh, intentional, and made with care. You can taste the difference. I'd take a couple of amazing, from-scratch options over a long list of 'reheated' dishes any day (e.g, Antlers in Canadian Lakes has had the same boring menu for years.. ) The service is just as impressive, warm, genuine, and hard to beat. Honestly, this place deserves a line out the door.

I ordered their Olive Burger and asked them to toast the bun. I added cheese, lettuce, and mayo too. Let me tell you--this burger was amazing. I've eaten burgers in lots of places, even at Szot's before. But today's burger? It was the best one yet. The bun was warm and crispy, the toppings were fresh, and the olives gave it a tasty kick. I liked it so much, I stopped talking just to enjoy it. If this burger was running for mayor of Big Rapids, I'd vote for it twice!
