The drinks were the highlight of our visit, and the food has mixed opinions at our table. I would highly recommend the a Mango Margarita because it tasted so fresh and refreshing! I also enjoyed the Sangria Swirl for a nice berry twist on their margarita mix. And the Mexican lollipop was delicious and the flavors mixed so well that the taste of alcohol was very minor. The coconut margarita was good but pretty plain compared to the other drinks as expected. The Queso Dip was really unique. I probably wouldn't order it again as it's very different from the runny white queso we love so much. This one was thicker and tasted like it has Brie cheese in it, similar texture too where it kinda sticks together and is not runny The Steak Fajitas were tasty and came with so much! The steak seemed a little tough but had good flavor. The Roadhouse Quesadilla was okay. Chicken seemed okay but there was so much cheese that it didn't hold together well, maybe it was cut into too many pieces though. The pineapple salsa on the side was so good though! I really loved the atmosphere here, the seating is mixed between indoor and outdoor, half of the outdoor seating is grad a drink while you wait, but again, everyone is so nice that you barely notice the wait! A little caution with sitting outside is that bugs/flies do really wanna taste your food too which can be annoying but there's nothing you can really do about it. Our wait was estimated to be 1 hour 15 minutes, but we were seating in around 45-50 minutes. I was surprised with how busy it was on a Tuesday night, but it is the week of 4th of July!

It appeared to be a sports bar and restaurant from how it was decorated and the TV sets playing Tennis. Our server seated us, quickly took our drink order and got our breakfast menus. I ordered the Two Egg breakfast (eggs over easy, Sourdough toast) and my wife got the Big Breakfast, (eggs medium) which she wanted for the pancakes. The meals took a while even though the place wasn't busy. We soon found out the eggs had been switched. Her's were easy over and mine were medium. So we switched the eggs. My easy over eggs were not fully cooked before they were flipped. My wife's medium eggs were cooked perfectly. However neither egg dish was salted or peppered while being cooked. The pancakes were perfect however. Light, fluffy, and delicious!' She shares one with me and I agreed, delicious, light and fluffy. Her hash browns were not cooked except on the surface. Mine were cooked nicely. However again the hash browns were not salted or peppered during cooking as far as I could tell. All and all the food was good for a breakfast place and the serving sizes were adequate for what we ordered.

It was magnificent. This place has been in business continuously for 102 years and still going strong, if that tells you anything about the quality of the pie and service. The waitress was dressed in a red and white dress and a white apron, sort of a throwback to the 60s. Everyone was so friendly and it was just a wonderful place to have a meal.

This store is not just a fish processing, smokehouse and serves takeout dinners which I did not try yet. There are plenty of workers and service was quick. There is no place to sit and eat. It is all takeout. We were here on a Friday morning of Labor Day weekend. A very busy time in Michigan's vacation land. There is plenty of parking in a lot adjacent to the store and on the street but watch out for the crazy bike drivers who think they own the road one of the old guys nearly ran me over because he thought he owned the road or maybe he didn't know how to drive a bicycle. Just the word of caution. Will I return? Yes, because it's the only fish, fresh fish, store within 50 or 60 miles of Frankfort. I compare fish processing outlets, to a business just outside Mackinaw city named Big Stone Bay Fishery. We were not in looking for a place to eat just for some fresh fish, and some smoked fish. I think that Big Stone Bay Fishery accommodates the customer better. for instance, they freely provide the customer with ice for the trip back home to the Detroit area.
