    Old Bay boiled shrimp with two sides, coleslaw, and french fries
    Jessie H.

    This is a staple for my family when we are up north on a Saturday night! Saturday is shrimp night you get your choice of fried or my favorite old bay boiled shrimp! You can choose how many by weight and two sides. Everything here is always fantastic and homemade and you can tell everybody likes it because it's always busy! We will definitely be back and be back in about a week lol

    The atmosphere here is very clubhouse with lots of wood tones. A very warm environment. This is part of the Shanty Resort. Both people ordered the bbq pulled pork sandwich.the meat was very tender with lots of flavor and bbq sauce only added to the overall taste. The bun was good, good stability, without being too much. The fries were good, but not the star of the show. An unexpected challenger  the coleslaw was truly excellent.  The person I was with fully agreed on all counts. I could eat a bucket of that coleslaw. The service was a little slow, but very friendly. Everything was very clean. Overall a 4 1/2 stars that I'm rounding to 5. I will be back!

    Dirty glass.

    Walked in and all of the staff had nasty faces, and very dry attitudes. We sat down to a paper saying the fryer was closed, (which apparently means half the menu is unavailable,) and then we got our drinks. Cup looks like it hasn't been washed in weeks. Didn't even get food just left.

    Yes, the restaurant is on a golf course. I had a burger and it was very good. The live music was a great surprise and I will definitely be back!

    Nice bar food is how I would describe the menu. We all enjoyed our meals. Patio has view of the putting green and 18 th hole. There was live music the night we were there. I ordered the bang bang shrimp. Not bad sauce is more sweet than spicy. Others ordered shrimp that was steamed or boiled but instead got peel and eat style.

    Outstanding burgers! Best in the area by far! Friday night fish night is exceptional too! Lightly breaded & excellent flavor!

    Great spot for lunch or dinner. I have met up with friends from Traverse and we enjoyed our meals and could hold a conversation easily.

    It was a Thursday and I was in town (Live 64 miles from Petoskey) for a Doc appointment and a bit…read moreof shopping. I had done a bit of research the day before .. looking for restaurants in the area. When I noticed that the Side Door had Prime Rib on special, (Wed-Sat) the decision was made. DISCLAIMER: I had eaten at the Side Door a few years ago (Cilantro Lime Shrimp W/Pasta) Me and my neighbor arrived at about 4:45PM, and were greeted with a warm smile and seated immediately ... we were kinda early for the dinner rush so there was plenty of available seating. (NOTE: When we departed about an hour after we arrived, the place was FULL and a line was forming for a table.) We both ordered the 14oz Black Angus Prime Rib (10oz also available). About the same time that we finished the first beer, dinner was served! Simply one of ... if not Thee best, PR that I have had in several years, across 11 states. My neighbor agreed. Both of us now try to plan our Petoskey trips to coincide with dinner at the Door My ONLY complaint is that the horseradish was weak. Actually, it seemed that it had been washed into submission .. totally without any flavor or "bite". The rest of the meal made up for it. (But I *will* bring some nose-incinerating, sinus-creating horseradish from home on the next planned trip.) Service: Superb. We never had to ask for anything. Drinks were refilled with perfect timing. And always smiling. She is an asset to the establishment. Driving Suggestion: Depending on the season and the time of day, if arriving from the North, it can be nearly impossible to make the left turn into the Side Door. Suggestion: Turn Right into the strip mall (KFC, AT&T, etc) and use the traffic light near the gas station to turn left, back onto the highway then a right into the Side Door Saloon for some of the best dining in the Petoskey area. Ample Parking is available. YMMV
