Great sandwiches, food & atmosphere. Their deck is made for outdoor parties! The owner Mike works hard to keep his business flourishing! Sabrina, Jessie & both Rachels are awesome staff! A friend of mine who recently retired had her party there. It was outstanding!

Our friends had their reception there and it was a lovely day for it outside. They set up a tent and the servers made sure everyone was taken care of and that the bride and groom were having a great time. They kept up on everything and we’re super kind.

This is stupid good food. You can goto Jimmy johns or subway and spend $14 for a sub Or sandwich or come here and spend $12.50 and get the real deal. I have had damn near everything on the menu and sometimes order damn near everything on the menu and eat it through the week and each one is as good as the next. Good portions and for some reason this place is still the hidden gem in bay city. This is my goto.

We hope this place is around forever! Been visiting on the drive home from Caseville to Chicago and this will continue to be our routine. Location on the water is perfect and the sandwiches are always delicious.
