After sampling the King's Imperial Stout and Deez Nutz Brown Ale, I added a pint of the Deez Nutz to my meal after the Brimley. Had I sampled the King's Imperial Stout first, I would have ordered that, but it could be considered a meal in itself. It's that full. The Deez Nutz had excellent flavor and just a touch of effervescence making it a very nice Brown Ale. My wife had the chicken sandwich which was quite grisly on one end...disappointing. I had the Southern Comfort Chicken sandwich that was quite tasty. I also ordered the truffle Parmesan fries as an appetizer and while good, the quantity for $9 was disappointing. The regular fries and seasoned chips were very good. This is a brew pub of the typical flair with better beer than food. If we were to go again, I would order something different to give it a try. Worth it for the right beer.

The views are great from this perch in town. Super casual place, seat yourself, and order at the bar. Food comes on paper plates, so don't expect actual plates if you order a meal. They holler out your name and bring your food to you when your food is ready. We ended up just getting chips and beer cheese along with our beers. I thought the chips were a bit chewy (stale?) and the beer cheese was a notch above baseball concession stand nachos. I would have thought with the beer cheese we might have gotten a paper plate to eat over, but no. Instead, we simply put napkins on the table to drip over. Beer here was ho hum. I ended up with root beer because the beer selection wasn't my jam. Would I be back? Probably not, but the view really can't be beat by much.

There were a lot of families there. Now for the beer. I actually had only the brown ale. It wasn't too bad but not over the top wonderful.

Didn't try any of the food.

From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable--Lawrence, our server, was wonderfully attentive and made us feel so welcomed. We started with the brioche pull-apart bread and jumbo shrimp cocktail--both fresh and flavorful. The beetroot salad was an absolute standout--beautifully balanced and bursting with flavor. For entrees, I had the local lake trout, which was perfectly cooked and delicately seasoned. My husband declared the baked cod the best he's ever had, and my son devoured his chicken fricassée. Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, dessert arrived. The warm apple strudel and the Grand Pecan Ball were both over the top--a sweet, satisfying end to an exceptional meal. Take your time, relax, and savor every bite. The Woods is without a doubt a must-have dinner spot when visiting Mackinac Island.
