    If I love anything more than my own children, it's bar food. Sometimes you just need to bury…read moreyourself in some greasy, fried food made under the music of Led Zeppelin or Sammy Hagar by a cook two packs deep and three shots in. As a solo eater this evening, I naturally ordered an appetizer and a burger, to get that full bar food effect. The appetizer was five (5) breaded jalapeño poppers. Those bad boys came out in the traditional paper boat only a bar can serve food in. It comes with ranch and when I popped that top off the little plastic ramekin, my heart melted more than when I saw a double rainbow. You guessed it. Home. Made. Ranch. You could put homemade ranch on a stick and I'd eat it. The poppers had that perfect breaded crunch, perfect amount of cream cheese filling, and good jalapeño taste. Poppers w/ life changing ranch 8/10. My main course was an olive burger. Nothing particularly popped out at me on the menu, so I just took my time scanning it and let the Bar of Influence™ guide me. I started with just the typical Bay de Noc burger, which is just "burger and bun." Direct quote. But I called an audible and decided to roll with the Olive Burger. Now, personally, I believe a top notch Olive Burger is made with an olive spread AND mayo. Not just olives and mayo. But, sometimes just that olive flavor calls and I don't care how I answer the phone. (To be clear, I answered the phone and it was just olives and mayo). Since I was feeling extra gluttonous, I added another patty. Stop. I know. I call myself those names, too. I do think that bonus patty might have been the patty that broke the camels back. Don't get me wrong, I polished it all off, but I felt degraded afterwards. OBDP (Olive Burger, Double Patty) 7/10. OBSP (Olive Burger, Single Patty) 7.75/10 "But what about the fries?" - You, probably. Okokok, relax. The fries were actually amazing. I never know the name/style of these fries (they looked normal with kind of like crispies stuck to them. Also kind of batter-y? I don't know. I'm not a potato). They had a crispy potato-y outside with a soft potato-y inside. They were the perfect doneness. Unknown Potato Style Fries 10/10. The ambiance was your typical bar type ambiance. High tables, low tables, pool table, juke box, tvs with sports, keno. Good spot. Go do it.

    Loaded fries were AMAZING! Stopped here for a quick snack and drink on our way thru...so glad we…read moredid! Beautiful view of Big Bay de Noc, drinks were great as well! Definite must stop again, for sure!

    On Saturday night we had a party of 8, so I called a head to make a reservation and was told they…read moredon't take them but they said they could accommodate us, there was no wait and to 'come on up'. When we got there about 15 min later and they told the wait would be about 15 min, which is acceptable. They then sat us at a large table in the back, and basically forgot about us for an additional 20 min, then finally came and got our drink and food order. We were then forgotten about for another 45 min. No one checked drinks or came with water refills. We requested bread when we ordered and one in our party ordered soup, neither of those items ever came out. When our food finally came out, the pasta was cold and the pork loin was so tough it wasn't edible, maybe 3 bites were taken. We brought this to their attention and we were told 'sorry' but they did nothing to make it right. They also charged us for the soup we never got and the mushrooms that were ordered for a steak, that never came. They did take those items off the bill when asked. We also paid $8.97 for 3 CANS of pop, which in my opinion is absolutely outrageous. It was a very disappointing, and VERY expensive experience. We used to love coming, however this is the second time in a row that our experience was horrible and we will not be back.

    Excellent ambience on a summer eve. Wonderful service. Solid 5 on the above…read more However, it's all about the food. Our baskets were nothing special. Onion rings were not hot( maybe the warmer isn't working well? Walleye had an oily feel and taste though the fish was very good. Coleslaw was fine; nothing special. Should have gone with the salad entrees which looked good. We would return and try something else. The view is worth the trip

    A Hidden Gem on Big Bay de Noc!…read more We visited The Dock at Bay Ridge on a sunny Thursday in late July during our trip from Philadelphia -- and what a memorable find! This rustic log cabin restaurant with cozy lodge vibes and an unbeatable view of Big Bay de Noc completely won us over. As a food-loving family, we were blown away by the quality. I had the bacon cheeseburger, and it was perfection -- juicy, cooked exactly right, with a soft, buttery bun that took it to the next level. My wife and daughter split the cheese flatbread pizza, which was generous, gooey, and had that magic balance of soft center and crisp edges. We started with pretzel bites that were warm, soft, and chewy -- everything you want in a comfort appetizer -- paired with creamy, rich beer cheese. For drinks, a perfectly chilled Blue Moon hit the spot while our daughter loved her sweet lemonade. The service deserves a review of its own: some of the friendliest staff we've met on our travels. Our waitress was prompt, sweet, and genuinely attentive from start to finish. We sat on the patio with an amazing view of the water -- peaceful, scenic, and the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. We're already talking about coming back on our next visit to the UP. Highly recommend stopping here if you're anywhere near Garden, MI!
