The Paddle Inn isn't bad... we love the Friday all you can eat fish fry…read more But the Saturday & Sunday breakfast buffet isn't that great. The eggs are usually cold, pancakes are hard & rubbery, French toast is burnt, and the biscuits for the biscuits & gravy are doughy (the sausage gravy is good). We've tried it a few times and the same thing each time. When we were there two weeks ago for the breakfast buffet... we noticed that the pan of eggs & pancakes was sitting on the counter behind the waitress station for 15 minutes getting cold before being put out on the buffet. We've finally decided not to go for the breakfast buffet anymore.

I'll check it out again and maybe try some of the fancy drinks.

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 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!

There are limited restaurant options closer to Interlochlen unless we drove through Traverse City. No reservations required. Super busy, but they get people in pretty quickly. Once seated, we started off with the smoked trout and artichoke dip. The dip was fantastic! We could have used more crackers, but we finished it! For my cocktail, I enjoyed an espresso martini. For dinner, my husband and I got the Friday trout special with mushroom risotto and broccoli. My mom got the two smoked meat platter with wings and ribs. To end the night, we shared a slice of coconut cream pie. Delicious! Definitely would stop by again if we were in the area.

Give it a chance if you're in the mood for pasta, I suppose.
