    Welcome

    Locally owned businesses just of 131. Staff was very friendly and the food came out right away.

    Chicken avocado salad. Dressing was awesome!

    Let's start with service! Love the efficiency and welcoming atmosphere created by the staff here. The service is great! The interior is clean and nice. Really like the multiple dining areas and the garage doors to open up on a nice day. And the food is awesome! We had platter of BBQ (chicken, brisket, ribs and pulled pork) it was fantastic! Loved the mashed potatoes and seasoned veg.! Also had the cheese soup, loaded tots and the chicken avocado salad. We of course ordered way too much food as these portions are serious! But we got about 4 meals out of our leftovers! This is a gem!

    These smoked wings were so good!!

    Cheddar ale soup
    Brandon M.

    I stopped by here for a business lunch after a recommendation and they did it disappoint. I was seated promptly at a flat top and ordered a cup of cheddar ale soup that was excellent. I also had the turkey bacon avocado sandwich with kettle chips that was very good. 7 craft beers available from local breweries. Daily specials. Flat top and booth seating. Friendly efficient service. Clean restroom. WiFi password provided. I would definitely recommend and return.

    Headed from Fredric to Traverse City.... Came across this quaint restaurant... very friendly staff, great menu and yummy food. Food was served hot and in a timely fashion! Great place to experience.. We will be back!

    The place is small and feels very cozy. It's almost like eating dinner with a large family. The staff members were super friendly and checked in on you enough but not too much. The place had a lot of nice rustic decorations that brought back some nice memories. The menu has a variety of things to choose from. We chose the brisket and fish dinners. The brisket was sliced thin and has a nice smoky flavor to it. The meat was tender and had some fat still holding on for flavor. The choice of 4 different sauces just added to the flavor. The tater tots were cooked perfectly with them being crispy on the outside but not dried in the middle. The fish was flavorful and had a nice coating on them. The French fries were perfect as well. It's a small place filled with flavor and kindness. Definitely will stop in again, when able.

    White chicken chili and 1/2 grilled cheese.

    Food was good and filling. Wishing the restaurant was closer to our home. My husband really liked the white chicken chili and the BBQ beef brisket grilled cheese with sautéed onions was great! Service was very welcoming and pleasant!

    Great service. They all work hard together. Efficient. Our server Jaline is a pro. Nachos were great. Fish looked yummy. We'd go back.

    We had the pleasure of stopping into the lovely restaurant in Kalkaska. We made the decision purely…read moreout of the fact that they had seating outside and we had our golden retriever with us. I don't think we could have picked a better Restaurant to have our dog with! We literally had no idea that this restaurants theme is dogs! Moose and Stella's is such a cute Restaurant! The dog decor is absolutely adorable! We were greeted warmly and told our dog was absolutely welcome and they brought her a big bowl of water and some biscuits! This is definitely a mom café with lots of delicious looking foods to choose from. I decided on the corned beef hash as it was mentioned that it was homemade and popular and we also chose blueberry pancakes as it came highly recommend recommended. My husband chose a skillet that had several types of meat and sausage, gravy and hashbrowns. It was a daily special. Our waitress and other staff were so kind and kept our coffee cups full. As a sidenote, it was fairly close to closing time I would say about 45 minutes before they closed and not once did we ever feel like we had to rush. Our food came out and looked absolutely delicious! The servings were very big and everything was hot. The corned beef has was most likely the best I've ever had!! it was like a very rustic take on what I know is corned beef and I absolutely loved it! It was very flavorful and it had that nice crispy. Text her and places that you really crave with corn beef hash. 10/10! The blueberry pancakes were exceptional as well. They were light and fluffy and fresh blueberries all throughout. My husband skillet was full of all kinds of breakfast meats, cheese, hashbrowns, and gravy. I don't think you can do much better than that. He said everything was delicious and he really liked the gravy which is a complement to the business as he is extremely picky about sausage gravy! My daughter had the kids hamburger slider with fries and applesauce and she said it was delicious! Just a sidenote, they have a small menu for your dogs as well! We ordered our dog, Marley, a big hamburger patty and she gave it a 10 out of 10 We will return again and again, we come to the area for vacation and this restaurant will definitely be in our normal rotation when we visit!

    Amazing food, coffee, and service. The French toast is a mile high tower of deliciousness. Plan to…read moretake half of it home.
