    Mushroom appetizer
    Sara Annela T.

    Delicious place. Fun atmosphere with live music, pool table, and plenty of space! A great bar area, certainly coming back. The liver & onion special is a treasure trove for the old man. I knocked some stars off because of two factors: 1. The perch dinner on a Friday around 5:30 pm was already sold out and 2. $8.50 for 5 jalapeño poppers is a complete ripe off.

    Great place

    Best decision we made all night. We love a dive, and this checked all the boxes. Great food great service. Don't miss this place.

    I came here for dinner, the food was good, waiters were nice, and live music was great! This restaurant is nice in the inside, it has a pool table, darts, claw machine, and a shuffle board. Overall, good food (nice, big 1/2 pound burgers for a good price) and service. Nothing special but a nice place to have dinner.

    Great local bar. Several tables both traditional and high top. Large horseshoe bar. Shuffleboard and Touch Tunes. Great burgers!! You can ask for a 1/4lb patty instead of a half. My only complaint is the iron in the water ... easy solution ... drink alcohol!!

    An hour for a burger, and this wasn't during the dinner rush. Avoid unless you want to pay nearly $20 for a meh meal and a lukewarm apology.

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!

    Finally...a good restaurant on River Street! We're in Manistee about a dozen times a year and I'm…read moreso burnt out on not having good places to eat. If you're looking for good Mexican, skip 'Taco Bout It' (which is very generic Americanized Mexican fare) and go here instead! This place just opened in the old River Street Station location and it's now my favorite place around town. Authentic Mexican food and drink in a very cool "Day of the Dead" style atmosphere. Awesome custom murals and decorations inside. It was totally empty when we walked in at 3pm on a Wednesday (to be expected) so we got 1 on 1 service at the bar. Food was super fresh and made to order. The freshly fried taquitos with super fresh veggies were awesome, and the tequila drinks were solid. I'll go here again the first chance I get. I feel like some restaurants in Manistee think they're fancy but are just overpriced and the food isn't very good (lookin' at you Golden Stag and Blue Fish). Then you have second tier food at Taco Bout It, Fricanos and North Channel. The food at these places almost seem like the quality of "theme park food" (generic and not very fresh). This place, IMO, is a big step forward. Fresh and authentic, probably family-owned (that was the vibe I got), with a great atmosphere (they were jammin' some modern Mexican music videos on the tv over the bar, which is WAY better than places that play ESPN or some political news channel). I predict that, if they can last until summer and have a good business-minded owner, they'll be jam packed all summer long. Or at least I hope so because I want it to be here, and be thriving, each time we visit Manistee!

We originally were told when we called the restaurant that they don't allow pets at all, but then two of our fellow campers stopped there and had a beer and we're asking about pets on the patio and they said sure you can sit at the front of the patio where the Adirondack chairs and fire pits were. So off we headed to Dos Arboles. We had six in our group plus the two dogs and we had gotten there at happy hour so we were able to partake in their excellent margaritas and also some appetizers to begin with when we ordered dinner. The food was absolutely delicious nachos fajitas, tacos, fish, taco, shrimp, tacos everything you can imagine a Mexican restaurant would have and the food was top notch. I was very very pleased. The dogs were well attended. They brought them a bowl of water. The waiters and waitresses came out to visit and then finally the owner came out and sat with us for a while, which is quite unusual as we're not local. It was a beautiful location right across from the marina's. Frankfurt, by the way is a lovely town if I was going to pick a place to retire at that would be our top pick. Dos Arboles received all stars and if I could give them even more, I would! Thank you for a wonderful relaxing evening with delicious food, great friends, and a very friendly staff!

    We decided to give Mi Mezcal again after our not so good experience a couple years ago. Really…read moreglad we did! Food So we ordered entrees Burrito Deluxe and the 3 Chicken Taco combo. For an app, we ordered the chicken Taquitos. The Burrito Deluxe comes with a beef burrito and a chicken burrito. Both were stuffed full and really good. The 3 Taco combo was also very good and wow, also stuffed with lot of chicken. The 3 Taquito app was also really good. The spicy salsa that came with was a nice touch. Chips and two salsas comp and good also. Service Our waiter was great. He helped us with the details, stopped by a few times to be sure we were good, and was just a nice guy. Restaurant This place was very clean. The booths look to be custom made and comfortable. They have high backs also, so you feel like you are dining in your own place. Cost So two entrees and an app, along with two soft drinks was $52. Pretty good deal when you consider we took home leftovers for lunch the next day. Hooked up our waiter also for his job well done, so we walked out at $72. Summary You know, I'm glad we tried Mi Mezcal again. Maybe we caught them on a bad day last time. Cadillac doesn't have a lot of restaurants, and especially restaurants that are actually good, so I'm happy to know this place is banging now. Absolutely suggest you give them a go. If you do, you'll maybe see us there also as we will def be back!

My kids talked me into here instead of Little Mexico because Mi Mezcal does have an extensive vegetarian menu. I'm sorry I did that. First they are pricier than Little Mexico. By about $3 to $5 per plate. But the really sore spot was the food: it was all one note and that note was SALT! There was VERY little resemblance to south of the border or Tex-Méx dishes. O ordered the combo special: chili rellenos, beef burrito, beef taco corn shell, beef tostada, and beef enchilada plus rice and beans. The batter on the chili rellenos was less eggy and more thin fish batter. The chili itself had no flavor. The red sauce? Taco Bell's red sauce is spicier! The ground beef was heavily salted with no discernible cumin or chili powder. Even the beans and rice were bland! By the time the food got home ALL THE CORN TORTILLA items were VERY soggy and no crisp to them at all! I've ordered from other Mexican restaurants in Mt. Pleasant and Cadillac and never had this issue! I would recommend saving a couple of bucks and heading to Little Mexico's locations for a better and more authentic Mexican experience!
