Fried whitefish
Karne N.

Found this pub thanks to Yelp and thoroughly enjoyed it. Clearly a local hangout, with live music on a Friday night. The food was very good - burgers, wings, French onion soup, fries, fish tacos were great and the whitefish was excellent. Popcorn on the table, while incredibly salty, was great with our drinks. Service was Friday night slow and waitresses were a bit harried but all good. Would go back any time!

I thought everything was fantastic. It's a little off the beaten path of the Main Street but we'll worth the extra 2 min walk. The ambience is dark and moody and everything you'd expect a pub to be. The complimentary popcorn is a nice added touch. We enjoyed listening to the live singer as well. 10/10 would recommend the spinach and artichoke dip and garlic noggin bread. Both were fantastic appetizers that we inhaled in about 2 minutes. The service was excellent as well. Our glasses were never empty and the food was delivered quickly. All staff was very nice.

So we had a much better experience this trip (and have come back twice for drinks in the "outdoor" Noggin Room. The food is great and the views are sublime. The menu has been pared down substantially (beware that online postings are mostly out of date). The house burger is HUGE. The "kid's" burger is a quarter pounder and more than enough food. Onion rings are delicious, salads are fresh and seasonal. We hate that COVID impacted the Perry's wedding business so substantially but it's been amazing to enjoy the summer al fresco with views of the bay. Come for the sunsets!

So the food and price are a straight two stars. I am so sad that I wasn't a fan of their pickle pizza after I read so many people raving about it here. I think the huge chunks of garlic threw me off as well as I was hoping for dill pickles and not sweet. My husband got a normal burger and asked to have no onions and the classic happened where it still had an onion on it. He has a pretty bad food aversion to them so he had to scrape off the cheese to avoid any potential taste of it. What's sad is that the place wasn't busy so I am not sure how our only request got messed up. The ambience was great, the live band/singer was great, I enjoyed our drinks, and the popcorn was a welcomed touch. But spending $88 on something that easily should have been $30-$40 max will keep us from coming back and trying something else.

I enjoyed the food. It was pretty late and there wasn't many options available and we happened to stumble upon this gem. Our server, Emir, was a great guy and there happened to be a concert while we were eating. Nice restaurant with good food. Although the pizza was not as great as the fish. I would definitely recommend this place. 4/5

This place has been a local favorite for years, and it truly shows. From the moment I walked in, I…read morewas greeted with friendly service and a cozy, vintage atmosphere that feels welcoming to both locals and tourists. I grabbed some delicious snacks to keep me going and had the chance to try a few local beers. Each sip was a delightful taste of the area! The decor is charming and adds to the nostalgic vibe, making it the perfect spot to relax and soak in the memories shared by those who frequent it. What did I have? - Widowmaker, Black IPA 5% ABV Keweenaw Brewing Company - Horny Monk, Belgian Style Ale 6.9% ABV Petoskey Brewing - Fried Mushrooms - Fried Cheese Curds - Coconut Shrimp

Let's be very clear--this is a local's place…read more FOOD: The portions are plentiful! I ordered cheese curds and a burger with fries...but in hindsight I should have skipped the fries. Curds were enough for a table of four. Overall taste of the food, however, is average. Despite being a good looking B&B Burger, the bacon was burnt and the burger itself didn't have much seasoning. I expected to bite in tasting a medley of flavors, but each bite was just okay. Maybe if I had a yeasty beverage or two before eating, it might help raise my opinion? TABLE SERVICE: Waitresses were prompt and helpful. BARTENDERS: Remember those honey badger YouTube videos (narrated by Randall) from 2011/12? That's what I think of when I read Yelper reviews from Brittany H. and Jay V. [in the voice of Randall]: *Mitchell Street bartenders don't care; they do what they want!* For example, when the popular 80s song, Your Love by the Outfield, came on, the 'tender on duty decided to turn it up to 11...and left it there for half the song. Locals seemed unfazed, but visitors got to the point they asked the waitress if they could turn it down. I'm guessing he didn't much care for the feedback, because he then played the song twice more. *If you're up for a rowdy atmosphere with an array of local beverages + solid bar food, I encourage you to step into this windowless venue! If you're looking for a nice, sit down meal and great tasting main dishes (OR you're allergic to peanuts)...best walk to Tap 30 next door.

Oh how I wish this place would have been better. It's a…read morecute place and our server did a great job overall. Those are the highlights. My friend ordered the kabob dinner and said it was good...but over $20 for some veggies is crazy. My gyro and truffle fries....honestly I should have just sent them back. This is one of the most disappointing meals I've had recently. They put a tomato paste on it that I almost requested without, but trusted it would be interesting. It literally tasted like cheap canned tomato paste. Gross and certainly doesn't blend well on a gyro. The lamb meat itself had a decent taste, but the way it is served makes it difficult to eat in a pita. Gyros are typically chopped or shaved lamb which makes it easier to eat and helps ensure you're getting more lamb per bite. Served in these strips, it was just falling apart and not blending with the feta. The fries...terrible. Just terrible. $6 to sub truffle fries which seems like too much but I hadn't had them in a long time so had to go for it. Listed in subs it simply says truffle fries, so I didn't know they were going to be covered in liquid cheese. They ARE listed in appetizers with the full description but I didn't look there until after bc I didn't order an appetizer. The cheese was awful, completely overwhelmed the TINY bit of truffle taste, and SO salty! Take a look at the picture and decide for yourself if the gyro and fries is worth $23. I eat a lot of gyros, and this being the most expensive one I've had is the worst. Heads up that they charge a service fee. Doesn't bother me as I always tip at least 20% but no one pointed that out and I'm not really sure what it's for. Does that go into the servers pocket or? Won't be going back to find out.

I had done a bit of research the day before .. looking for restaurants in the area. When I noticed that the Side Door had Prime Rib on special, (Wed-Sat) the decision was made. DISCLAIMER: I had eaten at the Side Door a few years ago (Cilantro Lime Shrimp W/Pasta) Me and my neighbor arrived at about 4:45PM, and were greeted with a warm smile and seated immediately ... we were kinda early for the dinner rush so there was plenty of available seating. (NOTE: When we departed about an hour after we arrived, the place was FULL and a line was forming for a table.) We both ordered the 14oz Black Angus Prime Rib (10oz also available). About the same time that we finished the first beer, dinner was served! Simply one of ... if not Thee best, PR that I have had in several years, across 11 states. My neighbor agreed. Both of us now try to plan our Petoskey trips to coincide with dinner at the Door My ONLY complaint is that the horseradish was weak. Actually, it seemed that it had been washed into submission .. totally without any flavor or "bite". The rest of the meal made up for it. (But I *will* bring some nose-incinerating, sinus-creating horseradish from home on the next planned trip.) Service: Superb. We never had to ask for anything. Drinks were refilled with perfect timing. And always smiling. She is an asset to the establishment. Driving Suggestion: Depending on the season and the time of day, if arriving from the North, it can be nearly impossible to make the left turn into the Side Door. Suggestion: Turn Right into the strip mall (KFC, AT&T, etc) and use the traffic light near the gas station to turn left, back onto the highway then a right into the Side Door Saloon for some of the best dining in the Petoskey area. Ample Parking is available. YMMV

It came with a very tasty and fairly large salad. The chicken breast was too heavily breaded and the coating was hard The chicken inside all that breading was tender and hot There was just a little bit of cheese on top of that heavy breading. If there was Parmesan, I did not taste it, but the waitress did bring a little container with Parmesan and hot pepper flakes Accompanying the chicken was spaghetti noodles with almost tasteless. Spaghetti sauce. On the side of the plate was a piece of garlic bread, but by the time I got to it, it had soaked up the watery juice from the spaghetti sauce, and it was inedible. Sometimes I may be a little too picky but anytime you go out now is at least $25 per person and I just think they could do better on this Parmesan chicken. The service was excellent however our iced teas were filled up twice each, and the ambience is nice and relaxing after a day of shopping and appointments. The restaurant was clean and really nothing I can complain about. It's just this particular dish as it was not one of my preferences.
