Waitress said the turkey had just got out of the oven so I was looking forward to this dinner filling the belly. Dinner came with one scoop of cold instant potatoes, corn and hard chunked square turkey no bun little gravy. The dinner was not good at all had zero taste and just didn't taste like turkey. The wife's Chicken wrap had barely any chicken in it.. I had to go seek out catchup for the wife as service was lacking. This restaurant is an old Burger King and ambiance is lacking and the restrooms were dirty one urinal was overflowing. This was a disappointment and my last time it was that bad and definitely not what expected.

And it truly looked like an "up north" restraunt, with the wooden walls, and the white bear near the entrance. This seems lake a place where people know each other and come here frequently; several times, I saw servers greeting customers by name. The complimentary bread they served was delicious. Nobody else in our party wanted the leftovers, so I was the lucky recipient of 3 loaves! I ordered the whitefish on a plank. It was a huge piece of fish served with mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli that was cooked just right; it didn't even need any seasoning. It was big enough that I was satisfied with just half and I took the other half home to enjoy later. We also shared an ice cream sandwich -- coffee ice cream sandwiched between 2 chocolate chip cookies, with some whipped cream on the side. It was good but too sweet. The only negative to me was that the water was well water, an overwhelming taste that, as I suburban dweller, I never got used to.

The bar was full too. Luckily, we had reservations so we were good. We started off with the fried morel mushrooms. Helloooo! These were so delicious.

The fish was so fresh! I didn't think I had room for dessert, but we shared a slice of carrot cake. It was worth it! Highly recommend this place for a special occasion. Such a beautiful place!

While we were fully prepared to dress up and go to a sports bar for dinner during our girls weekend…read morein Houghton Lake, East Bay Grille gave our group a better option. We made a reservation for 13 on a Saturday and they were ready and waiting for us. The table was prepared and two servers greeted us. The restaurant, located inside of the Springbrook Inn, is a bit difficult to describe. Comfortable with some kitsch, a bit of an upscale family restaurant with a reasonable wine list (also reasonable pricing). The menu is not extensive but hits all of the main American items: steak, seafood, pasta, soup and salad. All of the mains were served with mixed vegetables (zucchini, onion, pepper or sans pepper for me as requested) and a potato (which included rice in the category). We did have two vegetarians in the group and the grill was not very vegetarian friendly. They did offer a stuffed red pepper, which luckily both ordered and enjoyed. The rest of the group had a large variety: cajun pasta, steaks, shrimp, perch and my order of ribs. The cajun pasta had a good flavor and was not at all spicy (this could be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences). The only complaint was that only a lone shrimp was found in the dish (the menu did say shrimp, which while suggesting a plural, was not). Overall everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the ribs as was a bit disappointed. The meat was tender but severely over sauced. I also found the sauce to be average. I did really like the sauteed veggies. I would not agree with the other reviews that the food is outstanding. I felt it was good to above average, depending on the item. The service was five stars. Both servers were friendly and engaging, refilling promptly and were responsive in their check ins. My four stars are based on an overall good experience and the service certainly orchestrated this.

All three were great, but the walleye with risotto was outstanding. Also love the location as it was fun to go try some wine next door while we waited for our food. On a "food quality" basis, the place is probably almost a 5, but a few other things lower my rating to a 4. The decor is pretty simple and unexciting, and the service was iffy for an evening with only a few tables. They probably just need a bit more help out there, as the servers were very sweet and trying hard. The service wasn't lacking due to effort. And a small "nit" is the lack of French fries as an option. While baked potatoes a healthier option, most in our crew like fries with their sandwich. Will definitely go back often.

At that point I tapped out, but thankfully my husband (who prefers his steak with a pulse) stepped in and handled it like a champ. All that said, I would 100% go back.
