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.

When I asked for a menu, the bartender told me "We just have regular bar food..." and rattled through some items like wings, onion rings, cheeseburgers, fried cauliflower and whatnot. I went with the burger and it was good. Large, tender, good beef flavor. Cooked well past medium, as I'd ordered it, but the meat didn't suffer from a little too long on the grill. I'd come on karaoke night, and that was just getting rolling when I left shortly before 8. Quite a few people seemed to be arriving for that, and if I hadn't had a bit of a drive ahead of me I might well have stayed.

Highly recommend the Farmers Omelette with sourdough bread and homemade blackberry jam, delicious. As with the first visit I was not able to escape without buying some baked goods to go.

Hit it with my wife the other night when we were staying in town, and found it a good choice. We both ordered a crispy chicken wrap w/fries and weren't disappointed with it in the least. The thing was packed with tender fried chicken nuggets and nicely seasoned with a thai chili sauce. Fries on the side were excellent, and generously portioned. Only one craft brew on the tap list, but it was Founder's Mortal Bloom, not at all bad as a forced choice. Place was about half full on a Friday night, but was rapidly filling as we left. Atmosphere is that of a farily typical northern Michigan bar, though brighter than some.
