We waited to be seated behind a family who said they'd been waiting 15-20 minutes. The servers were…read moreall running around like they were completely slammed...but it was pretty chill. The vibe of the whole place felt weird from the door. It feels like an old YMCA. When we got seated in the middle of the room with no view of the bear out back I knew I'd be mad just not being able to do anything while we clearly were going to wait a long time. We decided to pass. On the way out there was a line of 10 old ppl waiting to pay in various sized groups. The windows were so filthy you couldn't take photo or video anyway. They do have tons of books of their photos though if that will suffice.

Our waitress Autumn was very attentive and hustling to help everyone, she definitely gets 5 stars…read more The food was ok, my ribeye could have had more flavor same for my baked potato. The place has real promise. I know I'm being critical here but they serve their small salad in what I can only assume is a bowl meant for a scoop or two of ice cream and the lettuce was a little sad. My fork also almost bent in half as I tried to cut my steak. Some minor changes to how they organize things and an upgrade to their place settings as well some minor adjustments to their food and I think it would be "the" place to go

My family of 4 went to have lunch here over the Labor Day weekend, it was busy but service was fast…read moreand the food was good and hot. The best part of our visit was the young man who was our server, this gentleman could hustle! He was fast, efficient and so great! He kept our drinks filled, other patrons checked on and the neighboring tables cleared and wiped immediately. This young man is a credit to his family and his excellent work ethic. I did not get his name but I will go back in the future and ask to be sit in his assigned area. My husband and I were so impressed we left him a nice tip. Thank you so much for the good food, wonderful service and great service.

The food at this restaurant was great! The service is phenomenal!…read more The pasty my wife had was amazing! The serving was huge and more than she could eat, but the flavor was so good she almost ate herself sick! The French Dip was excellent! Not the traditional thinly sliced beef that dehydrates when cooked, but rather meat that was closer to pot roast was used so it was moist and tender! The Turkey Melt my daughter had was really good! She asked them to make it with Mozzarella instead of cheddar and they accommodated her request with a great sandwich. The atmosphere was homey and welcoming and the staff was perfectly attentive and incredibly nice! If you find yourself in this part of the UP, you have to visit!

Friendly and authentic. Great homemade pasties! Conveniently located at the corner in town.read more

Our friends were visiting, enjoying the Anatomy of a Murder tourist trail. Since we hadn't eaten…read morehere before, we tagged along. It was a nice drive over and the restaurant has a beautiful lakeside view. The parking lot is more like a scenic turnout and, I suspect, it's a bit of a free-for-all when it gets crowded. The restaurant's decor is beautiful with a strong cozy cabin vibe. IT wasn't very busy when we got there (we had reservations, just in case). Our server was very friendly and helpful, setting a good pace for dinner. The portions for all of our orders were very generous. I'm told that the burger and the crispy fish sandwich were very good. The Jimmy Stewart pork chop - I'm also told - lived up to its reputation. I ordered the dill pickle fried chicken sandwich, which was fine but underwhelming. I would not order it again (admittedly I'd have to be VERY hungry to give that pork chop a go). The menu is expansive and I'm sure that you'll find a new favorite in the mix.
