I recently stopped by Gary's Restaurant for lunch and had a pretty decent experience. I ordered the…read moreprime rib sandwich from the lunch menu. The food was okay -- not the best I've ever had, but definitely not the worst either. The sandwich had good flavor and the portion size was fair. The service was solid and the atmosphere felt like a classic local diner, which I always appreciate. It seems like one of those places that probably shines more with their breakfast options, so I'll definitely be coming back to try the breakfast menu next time. Overall, a decent local spot worth trying if you're in the area.

Being a burger joint, we obviously ordered everything but the burgers lol. We had a long trip ahead and didn't wanna feel too greasy but looking over at other tables later, the burgers looked delicious. I got the peach salad that came with curried pumpkin seeds and shredded asiago and croutons. I added grilled chicken for $4. I wished there were some fresh peaches on it but the salad was tossed in a peach dressing instead. The croutons also tasted like fried pieces of sandwich bread. I will say, I was so pleasantly surprised by how delicious this salad was! Holy cow, after a few days of camping, having vegetables was one thing, having this salad changed my outlook on life. My fiancé was a little saddened by the fact that we will be no where near this place (from Connecticut) becuase he thoroughly enjoyed his brisket wrap. Maybe it's the Mid Western charm and hospitality, but our experience was so great. After getting the bill, our waiter (who had two colored socks on and my friend thought he only had one, but alas, one sock was just black while the other was a hot pink) offered us our drinks to go and brought us back a full cup of iced tea and Dr Pepper. Our table of four left with a $70 bill which was fantastic, given that the food also satiated us to the best degree. All the way from CT, I wanna say: thank you Michigan. And thank you to the Gnarly Heifer, even though we did not taste your Heif.

Great atmosphere, however every time I've visited in the summer over the last 3 years it seems…read morethey've been understaffed. I don't really have the desire to wait 10 minutes to order a cold brew and another 10-15 minutes to actually get it. When it gets busy, the place becomes body-to-body in the café area, which may be some people's jam, but personally it isn't mine. I really wanted to buy a couple of books, but the line to order food and coffee is the same line used to purchase retail items, and I just couldn't bring myself to stand in it again. (I guess pick your books first and then stand in line to pay and get food/drinks?) I'll be back again... but will definitely make the trip earlier in the day... or come on a weekday.

The Book Nook is a fun place - very unique - they have everything from books and coffee (as the…read morename suggests) to novelty items and wines. It's part cafe, part bookstore, part wine bar, and part entertainment venue. Most important thing is the coffee is good. It seems like every other time I try to go they are closed, but other than that I recommend it. (To be fair, I usually only come through white lake area at odd times!)

The vintage atmosphere and friendly staff will make you glad that you stopped! The food at Lipka's has the home cooked taste. Homemade soups, sandwiches, salads and pies, there is something for everyone. The staff have been there for years and make you feel like you've known them forever. Let's talk about the cost-- if you want to go out for lunch but you are on a budget, let this be the place you stop at. My boyfriend and I eat here often for under $20! You can't beat the prices. A charming atmosphere that brings you back in time. I highly recommend Lipka's!

They even us the old cash register. Ice cream was good and service was friendly. We didn't get a meal, but it looked great. Only thing I could knock them on was while the service was awesome, they are understaffed. There's just too many people with tourist season here. Parking was an issue for the same reasons and while I don't mind too much going to the atm, it's 2024 and cash and check only businesses can be frustrating. We'll be back for a meal, and it's worth a stop if you're close.

We were leaving Lewis Farms on a Sunday and wanted to grab lunch on our way home - our go to place…read moreclosed on Sundays so I jumped on YELP to see what was on the way and Oh Brother's showed up. When we pulled into the parking lot some of us were hesitant based on the outside, however, I thought the outside was awesome! The murals are quirky and fun - my kid's loved the Yeti! The inside doesn't look big, but it fits a good amount of people - and they have a large bar, as well. It was fairly empty when we arrived at 1230, but by the time we left after 2pm it was busy! Lions were playing, too :) We had 10 of us and they quickly put tables together for us and were very accommodating. Jennifer was our server and she was AWESOME and handled our large group easily and with a sunny disposition. The menu is large, but not intimidating.. but makes for hard choices! They have some unique items on their menu that sounded SO good - like the peanut butter burger and walleye Ruben! Lots of apps, salads, daily soup, burgers, sandwiches, mains, and pizzas! Their kid's menu is large, as well with great side options instead of just fries. Our group started with the pizza rolls and the garlic bread balls - huge hits! Especially with the kids! Two people got the walleye Ruben and said it was great! One got the pot-roast meal and loved it. I had the smoked wings and thought they were awesome - especially the sauces - you can tell they are homemade! kids had pizza, mac n cheese, buttered noodles, chicken tenders, pulled pork, and probably some other items i am forgetting but the kids loved their food! We definitely had leftovers because portions are generous! We tried a porter they had on tap and 3 of us really enjoyed it - they have a nice rotating tap selection! All in all we enjoyed our meal and would recommend Oh Brother's for sure! We'll be back our next time in the area.

They've got a huge produce section with local Michigan goodies, a great wine section, tons of breads including the infamous English muffin toast (Morat's bakery), meats, cheese and dairy, deli meats, cleaning supplies, household items, school supplies and other random things. They really do have it all and if you're looking for good food to cook while staying up in Whitehall or Montague, Montague Foods is well worth the stop! I was really excited to see they even had Sunbelt Bakery's chewy oats and honey granola bars and these 30 cal (low carb) wraps that I love! They have a huge beer section as well and plenty of liquor if you're stopping in for booze. The store is always clean and stocked and the employees are friendly and helpful!

They fit in a impressive amount of seating in small area. The kitchen is open to view and gets the food out at Food Truck speeds. I call the food style as a Bbq and Mexican fusion, not sure what they call it. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you as each dish is ready. The Menu is very yummy, making it hard to choose. I couldn't decide between the Monte Cristo ($9.50) and the Ricki Bobby Burrito ($12). So I chose both, mixed half and half, and had a 2nd meal for the next day. They were both excellent with high quality ingredients. The portion sizes were very good and cooked to perfection. I preferred the burrito, but that's no knock on the Monte. They also include a side with each meal. I got Texas Mac n Cheese and Double Fried Spuds. Both of the sides were very good, however the spuds were very salty. The person I was with got the Smoked Bbq Spare Ribs with Slaw ($15). She stated both were excellent. On a side note the next day meal reheated perfectly. The service was speedy and friendly, even when they got slammed. Overall an easy 5 star review. If your ever near Whitehall this should be a must stop. Will I return? Absolutely! In fact please open a 2nd location in Grand Rapids!
