I tried two cocktails which were a rum runner and (can't remember the other one) but both were very yummy. My burger was really good as well as the crab Rangoon egg rolls, those were my first time trying something like this and unfortunately, I could literally eat them all day. I won't be back anytime soon unless I'm going to the soaring eagle but I would love to go back.

While waiting for her to arrive, we enjoyed watching folks go down the river on tubes. I decided to order the Fat Noodle Soup as it sounded incredible. I'm a huge fan of ginger so anything with ginger broth is a slam dunk with me. It was a huge bowl of soup and I savored every drop. I had also ordered a side salad with grilled chicken as I thought I would need something to round out my meal. I wound up just eating the chicken and left the lettuce as I was pretty full after all the soup! Hubby ordered a burger with sweet potato fries and really enjoyed it. The wait staff was very friendly as well.

Every person mentioned how pleased they were with their meal. We could not have asked for a better experience from our arrival until our departure. Many thanks from our family to yours!

Delicious. Like a four napkin burger haha. It isn't overly large, although a 12 ounce option is available. It's just bar grilled goodness with shredded lettuce and packed with flavor. The inside reminds me of The Bird in Mt. Pleasant. The waitress was great, refilled drinks without asking and it was busy but not packed around 3 on a weekday. Also had sweet potato fries and they were perfect darker orange but not burned. Lunch for two was $30 for 2 burgers and soda.

I ordered their Olive Burger and asked them to toast the bun. I added cheese, lettuce, and mayo too. Let me tell you--this burger was amazing. I've eaten burgers in lots of places, even at Szot's before. But today's burger? It was the best one yet. The bun was warm and crispy, the toppings were fresh, and the olives gave it a tasty kick. I liked it so much, I stopped talking just to enjoy it. If this burger was running for mayor of Big Rapids, I'd vote for it twice!

Like what! I'll start by two weeks ago we ordered two plain cheeseburgers, one fry and it came to $30!!!! I was appalled. I was charged .75 each box for take out as well! Today we needed lunch as we had a really long night and just didn't want to bother, so we decided to go to lake side bar and grill try it again, we each had two bloody Mary's , he ordered the angry burger with fry's and I got the cod dinner to go. Waitress stated rolls did not come with the dinner so I asked could I please get two added I will pay for them she stated yes. Clearly stated yes! While we waited for our food we ordered drinks . The first bloody mayrs were amazing , had the olive , 2 pickle slices a lime and cucumber. Three tables were served in the time we waited for our food and two came in after us! So we ordered another drink, this time no veggies in it just refilled plain. Ok no biggie. Food came we got our bill and it was 67. And some change!!!! Like WTF! So we looked at the receipt we were charged both drinks PLUS each veggie ! Like who does that! And we didn't even get any veggies in our second drinks!!!!! We left I looked at our food and my rolls were missing and we had barely any fry's. I went back asked and she said no we don't even have rolls, I stated mam you clearly told me I could order them separate! I said as well we got barely any fry's. She acted like it was an inconvenience to her! Then while I waited she continued to talk about my complaint to I am assuming her husband. So far after just moving here and being a big food critic for upscale companies I would think a small town and they would treat people not only better , but make sure they are taken care of. Needless to say the fry's we got are way under cooked , burger is way burnt , and my fish is as well. A total waste of $70! We should have just went to Arby's! I will say we have had excellent customer service with only 1 waitress there she is the shorter dark haired lady. She has always been kind. But after two bad experiences I would not recommend this place for food or drinks.
