    Serving Northwood from the fountain

    Service was good. I got the fried chicken, real mashed potatoes, awesome slaw and a nice garlic toast. I was pleased with it all. My husband enjoyed his patty melt.

    Stopped around 8 pm so we ordered pizza. Delicious! Other people eating seemed to really enjoy their food. Good friendly service. Glad we stopped. Very large menu for such a small place. Would be hard to keep it all good.

    Freshly bakex cinnamon roll

    Was looking for a place close by where I could pick up a pizza and return back to the KOA campground quickly. Came across this restaurant via Google. Wow! The pizza was great and so was the Kim's Sunshine Salad. The salad was not skimpy on the chicken or extras. Delicious! Was not planning on purchasing a cinnamon roll, but could not resist (see photo). Fresh baked. Looking forward to breakfast!

    I was surprised and delighted by this cozy resturant and bar off the M-37…read more From the moment you step in the door there is a feeling of comfort and nostalgia. Every element from the food to the interior have a wonderful familiarity. I loved it all, the wood paneling, rustic beer mirrors and stained glass signs. At the moment they're operating under COVID restrictions so the tables are without a table cloth but hopefully they will return soon. I dinned on a Saturday night and the room was pretty busy. However there was not a long wait time for food and the server was very attentive. Speaking of food I have some recommendations. The Liver and Cheese basket which comes with pub cheese, chicken liver pate and some pieces of bread was the standout dish of the night. I wish the bread had been more toasted/dry/crunchy because it came out buttered and a bit limp. The next time I come I will request it toasted sans butter and would suggest you do the same. The prime rib was magnificent and I would compare it to those served in a steak house. Medium rare with a choice of potato and a side salad. I should give you a warning ... the portions are rather large so come hungry or plan to take home left overs. My eyes were bigger than my stomach so I walked out with an entire ruben sandwich, which was spectacular the next day. Be sure to stop in, there is ample parking and the location is right on the highway so you can't miss it. See you there!

    Got there at 6, they close at 6:30. Seems like they were more interested in closing, than staying…read morelonger than serving past close. Got my food, but I think they were happy I got my half burrito to go. Sorry, just seemed clocking out was more important.

We didn't end up getting an outdoor table, but we were pleasantly surprised when they seated us almost immediately. Our server was fantastic and very attentive throughout the meal. We had read a few reviews mentioning slow service, but that definitely wasn't our experience. We were 100% satisfied with the service we received. The food was delicious, and there were a lot of great options on the menu. Prices were what you'd expect for this type of restaurant, and we thought everything was well worth it. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the whole place had a great vibe. We were really impressed with Oaky's Tavern and would definitely recommend it to anyone in the Interlochen area. Great food, great service, and a really enjoyable place to grab a meal.

    We dined in with a large party. Unfortunately they refuse to take reservations. We were told they…read morelose money that way. That makes no sense, but that's their policy. I arrived 60 mins before the rest of our large party was to arrive to put our name down. It was a 45 min wait. It was a Thursday evening and this place was hopping. Tons of people coming in and putting their name down to get a table. I'd definitely arrive well ahead of the time you want to actually eat to accommodate this. The parking lot is tricky as well as there were barely any spots and many would drive in and not find a spot and then drive out. Once we were seated, we had great service. Our food came out quickly and correctly. There was a live band outside playing so that was nice

    Amazing! Still as good as ever - this is our 3rd year…read morepassing through and eating at Patty Cakes - it's just that good! There is a local restaurant. We were told as we ordered that they only serve breakfast on Sundays. They took our beverage order quickly and brought the coffee and water equally as quickly. We ordered the Hungry Mans Breakfast (3 eggs, bacon sausage, hash browns and toast) and House Made Hash & Eggs (2 eggs, corned beef has and toast) (same as the past 2 years) - you just don't mess with perfection. We ordered eggs overeasy. They brought us a treat of a small cup of homemade strawberry jam for our thick cut fresh sourdough toast - this was a new addition this year (the jam) and we enjoyed it. Nothing is particularly greasy but everything is cooked to perfection. This is one of those places that just makes the quintessential breakfast (or breakfast for lunch). You will leave feel satisfied and happy. July 2023 Amazing find! Last year we stopped to get brunch as we were starving and there aren't many choices along this stretch of road. We would come here on a regular basis if we could. There are a lot of locals but they are equally as nice to out of towners. So this year on our drive, we remembered their food and made a point to stop for a late breakfast. In particular, we recalled their delicious corn beef hash and ordered it again! We ordered the Hungry Mans Breakfast (3 eggs, bacon sausage, hash browns and toast) and House Made Hash & Eggs (2 eggs, corned beef has and toast) (same as last year). We ordered eggs overeasy. The staff is attentive and ensure your coffee and water cups are full without asking. This is one of those places that just makes the perfect breakfast (or breakfast for lunch). You will leave feel satisfied and happy. Note: while they have picnic tables outside they do not serve food outside.
