We got carry out here and we're pretty much disappointed with everything. My husband ordered a Greek salad with grilled chicken and an order of breadsticks. The salad looked great! Chicken grilled nicely! BUT no salad dressing on it or in the carry-out bag. WTH! Greek salad dressing is not something we have on in fridge so he had to muddle through with whatever we had on hand. My mom ordered chicken picatta. Her chicken was probably over cooked as it was tough or maybe that was just the chicken breast. I don't recommend ordered this for carryout either, especially in colder weather as the sauce on it and the butter on the green beans congealed and looked rather disgusting. I ordered the chicken tender dinner. I was pleasantly surprised that the chicken tenders were homemade and not pulled out if the freezer and then cooked. Very seasoned - which I enjoyed but if you want a plan ol' chicken tender like most restaurants would have, you may not like these as there was a bit of what seemed like Italian seasoning in the batter. It came with a side salad and mashed potatoes. I did not eat either of those that night as I had eaten all five chicken tenders and a few breadsticks. The next evening I pulled the mashed potatoes out of the fridge and tasted them before I put them in the microwave to see if I wanted to add any seasoning. I honestly do not know if they were ok to eat or not. They had a strange taste to them - a slight tang that just didn't sight right on my palette, like an ingredient was sour that they used when making it. Finally, my side salad was a miss. The lettuce itself was fresh and it had about three slices of cucumber and two cherry tomatoes on it. That's it - quite simple salad. However, I wanted thousand island dressing either it and the small container of it had a 12/24 date written on the top. Did they make the dressing that day or put it in the containers that day??? Either way, that's a bad vibe given we placed our order on Jan 9th. I know the salad dressing, if bottled, would still be good, but seeing that date from over two weeks prior is off putting. Supposedly this place got a new chef recently. Maybe it's time to get another because based on what we experienced on Jan 9th, I won't be back. Sadly, we paid $72 for the lackluster food that we had. read more

This place closed for 6 months and recently re-opened with a new chef, new management, new staff and a freshened up menu - and I gotta say, congrats pine house! You've made the ultimate come back! The new spinach and artichoke dip is now in my top 5 all time favorites! Highly recommend ordering breadsticks and using those as the vessel for the S&A dip. Also had a Philly cheese steak that was on special, and it was the best I've ever had with hand cut fries. Husband had a burger and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection as well. Staff were also great! Everything was fresh, hot and delicious. Probably one of the best meals we've had out to eat all year. I really hope they can hang on to build this place back up. So very worth giving them another try! read more

Always have great service here. The bartenders are tentative and good TV coverage if watching the games. The reuben with Wigley's corned beef is very good, as well as the other entrees. read more

Great food and service. Our waitress, Raquel was excellent and very friendly and made our first visit feel like we were special. We will be back soon. We were seated by the fireplace, so comfy and warm on this very cold day. Thank -You Raquel read more

I went to the restaurant with 16 ladies today, our waitress Montana did a great job. My meal was 3 tacos and margarita for $12.00, it was excellent. I did not hear anyone that did not like our meal. Storm came thru as the last meal was served, so we had no power for the rest of the meal. Suggest a generator for the future. Very happy with the restaurant read more

The food was pretty good. Much better than it used to be. Prices are fair. Our waitress was excellent. Very attentive and friendly! We will go back and try the new menu! read more

Wow! We tried this for the first time, and it was good! We did carry out, and the chicken parm and pulled pork sandwich were delicious. The salad didn't look like much until I tried the Greek dressing -- the best Greek dressing I've ever had! We'll definitely be back! read more

I had my husband's Memorial at Pine house . And Laura and Courtney were our waitresses and they were great with 43 of us . And the food was awesome the kitchen staff did a wonderful job. read more

Pine House has some of the best food in town. It looks like a cute little cabin from the outside. The big stone fireplace and animal heads are a bonus. They have a beautiful wine wall with different kinds of wine bottles. We have been here with and without our kids and have never had a bad experience. The food is always amazing and the servers are friendly and helpful with items to try. read more

Two visits to wonderful meals. They must have a trained chef. Worth a drive. Want to come back and try out the menu. read more

I came here with the family (6) of us, and we all chose to get the sunday brunch buffet. Pricing was somewhat decent and the food was average. The crepe station was great. Service was great. I will be back but this won't be a regular for us. read more

Stopped in last evening and ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad, and was amazed at the size of the blackened Ahi Tuna steak. It was huge, deliciously seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. The presentation of the salad was also a surprise, with carrot shreds on one side and perfectly ripened avocado slices on the other with the sliced Ahi on top. Also came with a house-made orange sesame ginger dressing. Definitely will be back, getting a perfectly cooked Ahi is hard to find around here. read more

Pizza and salads are always consistently good. If you get there later in the evening the music is LOUD and obnoxious. I could hardly hear the customer sitting across from me. Requests to turn it down lowered it a decibel. I am sure the bar patrons liked it,. . . restaurant patrons, not so much. read more

Not a fan! Did not leave a lasting good impression. When we walked in it looked nice, as we were being seated a heavy smell of urine was in the air. We ordered any way, although we should have left. We both ordered burgers, fries and a pop. My husband said his burger was fine but mine was very dry an crispy along the edges. Waitress was good. Then she brought the bill. For 2 burgers, fries and a pop was over 40.00. Which I felt was ridiculous. Never again. read more

There is a smell in this place I can't get over. Hard to enjoy food with a constant stink in the air. Would go back if smell was gone

Food was good. Nice price point for dinner avg $18 pp, but lesser and more expensive too. Good wine list. Glad they opened up and will go back to try the Bloody Mary and mimosa bar on sat / Sunday brunch. My personal peeve: too many tv's throughout. A bit of an internal struggle trying to decide are you a nice dinner out, or a sports bar... not a fan of the iceberg lettuce salad (especially when it's the center pale bitter part ). Ribeye and prime good were good . Tasty mashed potatoes and very good bread basket. We didn't have enough room for dessert, but was glad to see it in the menu. Other tables ordered fish and fish taco's which looked great read more

Love this place. Great food. Good prices, portions big. Always have two meals . I am very fussy about spaghetti sauce, never order it out but I love theirs so good. Love the chicken Parmesan. Service is top notch. read more

Nice out of the way restaurant in a small town. Great upgrade from the last owners Lenny Millers. Very good menu. Specials. Great staff. Family friendly. View of trees and lots of tvs. Almost sports bar feeling. Animal mounts and a cozy firePlace makes it perfect for a Michigan winter stop. read more

Great Chicken Parmigiana. Very ample portions and reheats nicely . I only eat my own sauce but tried it and keep going back. Every thing we have had there has been good.. If you like Spinach Salad theirs is the best. Great Pizza, also. read more

We really love the bar area in this restaurant! Wait staff is super friendly and nice. The only problem we have is that we paid $41.00 for 6 lg draft beers. Compared.to Almont's Huddle and Mikeys, this is a huge difference. The 30+ ounce beers at Huddle and mikey's are around $3.50. And this price was at 3 pm in the afternoon. Was this Happy Hour price? read more

This was our second time dining at the Pine House. Both times the meal was mediocre. The service was friendly and prompt, but does not make up for the food. The salad was pretty much iceberg lettuce and my salmon was simply sprinkled with paprika and flavorless as were the vegetables. read more

I was excited to go and try the Pine House I missed Lenny Millers, and had hopped for good food out in the country. The building is clean and renovated, however overwhelming amount of color televisions makes it difficult to give attention to the live band or even to have a discussion between sets. The food was not good. It was restaurant pack reheated meh. The spinach dip was a microwaved thick clotted spread with a bad texture, stale chips. We thought to start with an appetizer before committing to a full meal, glad we did. Disappointed with the food. The barmaid was pleasant and attentive. They need fresh food and a real chef to make a place worth going to. read more

Tried them out for the 1st time. Called in a carry out on a Saturday night. Got the beef tip appetizer. Very good! Husband had prime rib, medium rare. Was cooked perfectly. Served with side of crisp vegetables and a salad. I wanted the nachos (listed in menu online) but only available on Tuesdays. Settled on a chicken dish (smokehouse chicken?) topped with bbq sauce, bacon, and cheese. Chicken was very thin and dried out. But the bacon was nice and crisp. We need more places like this in the area. Would go there again but try something else. read more

I have eaten there three times recently and the food served was delicious. The portions are generous and you won't go away hungry. Their soups are prepared at the restaurant fresh daily. You won't be disappointed if you choose to dine here. read more

The Model T Ford club I belong to recently visited the Pine House Kitchen for lunch while on our annual color tour. With only two hours notice, the restaurant set up tables around the fireplace so all 30 of us could sit together. The wait staff were friendly and efficient, the food great and the seating conducive to conversation. Our group enjoyed the Pine House and will likely visit them again. I know I will when I'm in the area. read more

Excellent restaurant. Mother's Day Brunch was fabulous. Restaurant was clean and staff was attentive, friendly and courteous. Would definitely recommend read more

Food, beer and service was good. Remodel is nice. It was not the quickest service but given it was Friday night with a bunch of people there at a new restaurant the service was actually better than what I thought it would be. I'll be back. Hats off to the new owners. read more

We are so glad we found this place! We moved up in this area a year ago and the food options are limited. We decided to get carry out for Mother's Day this year and have loved it every time since then! We always get the chicken picatta, the sauce is seriously to die for. We've also had the prime rib and chicken parmesan- both very good and they give such a generous portion. Everything tastes homemade, right down to the chocolate chip cookies. Would definitely recommend! read more

I have been to the steakhouse three times now. The first time was opening weekend and we went in about an hour before closing. I was not impressed. The staff was inattentive, and the food was so so. I chalked it up to being opening weekend, and everyone was exhausted. I went in again last month, and there had been a huge change because the food was fabulous the wait staff was amazing and I would have given this place five stars. [I got the spinach artichoke dip and it was the best I have ever had!] I went in again last week and although the service was still good, I got the same appetizer I had gotten the previous visit and it was not as good. The entire meal was a bit lackluster and lacking in flavor. I'm not sure if the restaurant is just having growing pains, or if they have different chefs each weekend, but as of right now I'm giving it three stars because you never know what you're going to get! read more

We recently had a work reunion at the Pine House and all had a great time. The food was wonderful and the staff was great and let us enjoy our time together. Thank you Pine House! read more

Great food, friendly staff, huge portions enough to take home. Prices are very reasonable and the updates to the restaurant are amazing. Food is delicious, entertainment on the weekends is great because there is nothing else around Dryden. I would highly recommend this restaurant. My favorites: fish tacos, chicken picatta, smashed potatoes and the rustic pizza! read more

We will never go back!!!! I don't do reviews often, but, our experience needs to be known . Last weekend When my wife and I sat down at a table in the bar area it took at least 10 minutes before a server came to our table . Took at least another 10 minutes to get our drinks . My steak was over cooked and my wife"s chicken was cold . Waitress/bartender seemed annoyed with us . WeIl, if that wasn't bad enough , there was an employee sitting at the bar on her phone facetiming for almost the entire time!! She was loud and we rather not had to sit there and listen to her conversation .It took awhile to get our bill ( bartenders went MIA . Bad experience won't be back. read more

Was really hoping for a restaurant with a little "wow" factor. Nothing special or different about this place, same food as any other restaurant. Thought it was a little pricey for what you got. Not impressed. But, nicely remodeled from the old Lenny Miller's. Good service and clean. read more

First time in to check it out this week and I must say I am a fan. Service was particularly good; the staff is very friendly and outgoing. Atmosphere is hip with a touch of warm and cozy. The food was good too, although we ordered basic menu items (i.e. appetizer and sandwich) I will be going back to try some of their dinner entrees. If I had a couple suggestions for them I would HIGHLY recommend placing a small advertisement sign on the corner of Dryden and Capac Road with an arrow " New Restaurant/Bar 10 minutes down the road" (Similar to a home for sale nothing over the top) I say this because my husband and I found this place by driving down Dryden last weekend, not because we had heard of it. There are not many decent places to eat in our area and I know many people are searching for a place to go. You will hit it big with signs down Capac road! If this were my place I would want to know the good and the bad. With that said the only negatives I have is (1) the coke was on the flat side, (2) the beer was not as cold as it should have been (3) A bit musty smelling - nothing a little airing out/deodorizer cannot handle, (4) visible fruit in the cooler behind the bar that is past its life expectancy. Other than that Pine House is excellent! read more

First time here under new ownership. We split full slab of good ribs that did fall off the bone. Note that sweet potato fries were $1.50 extra. Large portions. No real lunch menu, just sandwiches and big burgers for about $10. Decent dinner choices for $15-20. read more

Went with my husband, I had the beef tips dinner, the salad was extremely small the beef tips were great again small portions for the price. My husband had a hamburger he said it was great but the potato chips were very overcooked and bland. The waitress was GREAT! Bottom line, if we go back we will be more attentive to the prices and a place I would not highly recommend. read more

It's well worth the drive from the city! Very good food and friendly staff. I had the Chicken Picatta (two baked, boneless breasts topped with lemon picatta sauce served with mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables) along with a spring salad. My sister had the Pine House Club (grilled salmon with applewood-smoked bacon, lettuce, tomatoes with pesto mayo nestled on a ciabatta bun). The meals are enough to take some home for lunch the next day! We were both too full to order from the amazing dessert menu. We already plan to go back again to try the thin crust pizza (at least six to choose from!). read more

Food was ok need to bring bread back w meal would love to see this place be around for a long time need to step up a bit
