    Bartender was very nice; sloppy Joe basket hit the spot. The locals are friendly and informative.

    The food was beyond amazing. I dream of it. I yearn for it. the waitress concocted a divine sauce for our order for the chicken wings. The service was outstanding, if you ever find yourself in this small town do yourself a favor and head on down to the hilltop for great and amazing service P.S. The coney dog slaps

    Absolutely love this place! It's difficult to make a decision. We all got different things so we could share! Great draft beer choices too. The fried mushrooms and pickle spears are great. The steak sandwich is a solid choice! Service is friendly and attentive. Can get busy right at dinner time, even during the week. Going a little later is the best bet. You know it's good when it's recommended by several shop employees, even in East Tawas!

    Lobster Rolls and Sweet Potato Fried

    Omg my hubby had the bluegill and he said it was amazing. I had the hot lobster/bacon rolls and OMG! Delish!

    Fish and chips and fried pickles.

    First time at this restaurant where I ended up getting the Smashed burger with fries and their…read moreHouse Margarita. The smash burger was well made, tasty and comprised of two patties that equated to a 1/2 lb burger I believe? It came with sliced onions and good amount of sliced pickles where these little green gems add so much to the burger in both crunchy texture and taste. The fries were equally well made and crunchy and a nice complement to the burger. Overall a solid good tasing meal at a very reasonable cost versus the down state pricing I am use too. Relative to the Margarita, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the drink as it was being sold as a well drink that lowered my expectations a bit. It was quite good and served in a nicely salted mason jar which I love and at the very reasonable price of $7! That's a deal in my book all day long! The bar/restaurant itself has a dark inviting vibe too it where it defiantly feels more bar than restaurant which I always enjoy when I am on the lookout for a good bar burger. Staff was very friendly with prompt service and great follow up throughout the meal. I noted the comments on slower service on other reviews which may have been during the peak summer hours but in my visit here I saw none of that on a Monday eying at 5pm during Mid May timeframe. Overall if you are a fan of bars and bar food than this business will probably be right up your alley. Of note if you like Margarita's you should defiantly order one, or two or..... while here as the price is hard to beat especially at this quality !

Cool location in between Alpena and Oscoda. Felt like a bar slash family restaurant, but I felt comfortable taking my family here. We would definitely return!

    Really nice restaurant located on a hill adjacent to US 23. The restaurant was recommended by some…read morelocal friends and it did not disappoint! As we entered the restaurant you could see their commercial grade smoker going with inviting aroma's of smoked meats wafting through the air creating both a nice visual and a mouth watering invitation to enter the restaurant. I get a kick out of these these bad boy smokers as too often they are hidden behind the restaurant. Relative to our meal, we got the Cod Fish and chips and the full rack of baby backed smoked ribs. Both entree's were well made and very tasty, especially the ribs, where the the portion size were so large we could easily have split both of these meals into two which is something I would suggest if you are coming here and usually eat a small to moderate portion size. For drinks we got their Old Fashioned which was well made and quite tasty in its own right but a tad small volume wise in my opinion. I normally expect 2 full oz's of Bourbon in my drink and not sure this drink hit that mark. Just a minor gripe here and did not detract from my meal by any means as evidenced by the 5 stars. Relative to staff and facility, the staff was super friendly with great follow up where the facility I would describe as clean, a bit rustic (in a good way) and most importantly a comfy environment to enjoy your meal in. Also, as it was a Friday nite and a band started playing later in the evening that just added another layer of goodness about this business and overall dining experience. Overall, I am a big fan as this business as hits on all cylinders when it comes to a nice dining experience and one not to be missed if you are in the area. As a cautionary note, they get real busy right around 5 pm on a Friday with a waiting list that moves fairly quickly. I am assuming the same thing probably happens on Saturday. if you want to get seated immediately on those evenings you should probably arrive a tad bit in front of 5pm to avoid the wait.

Interesting bar area but we ate in the main dining room. Very clean and classic, with classical music playing at lunch. Not your hipster bar! Still, it was calm, pleasant and pretty. I ordered a club sandwich which was the best I've had in years, and the reason for this review. Bread toasted perfectly, bacon crispy without being burnt, and just the right amount of mayo. Everything in balance and served with the toast still warm. You could search for a club this good and never find it. My wife had the fish sandwich - cod, also hot and good on a fresh bun. Do yourself a favor and try Tait's if you're in Oscoda.

Everyone ordered something different and all enjoyed their choices. My husband's perch dinner had 7 fillets...with no bones! They offer a cheesy onion soup which I thought would be like a French onion soup. Wrong. This was a creamy cheese base with onions. Not my cup of tea. Really different. The steak was good and an ample size. Special dessert for the birthday boy was a mousse-like pudding with fruit and a sparkler to top it off. Like I said the staff was very accommodating.
