Delicious food! My husband and I were hungry after a long day so we ordered a tap root beer, beer cheese pretzel bites, grilled cheese, large salad and a burger. Everything was delicious! The large salad was huge! The grilled cheese was probably the best I’ve ever had. We also ordered a pizza last night- that was yummy too. The only reason for four stars is because it was a bit more than we’d have liked to spend BUT the price seems normal for the area!

So glad we found this place. A perfect pit stop to refuel our bodies after spending the day at the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Great beer options on draft. You must order the brussel sprouts -some of the best I’ve ever had. The BBQ pork sandwich was excellent. I didn’t realize it didn’t come with any sides-had a great house salad with delicious home made ranch. Chef salad was tasty, but the homemade thousand island wasn’t what I expected. Kids chicken tenders were large portions and fries were fresh and crispy! We walked in at 310 (opened at 3) and were the first ones in, it was packed by the time we left at 4. Family friendly.

Amazing! I had the salmon burger, wife had the BLT and the kids had pizza. The salmon was cooked perfect and the sauce it came with was out of this world. The best salmon burger I’ve ever had and I’ve had many. The BLT was also a hit. Excellent flavor with the pepper mayo. Pizza had a crispy crust which we like and the ingredients were fresh. Somebody said the service was dry but the guy we had was great to talk with and took care of everything we needed. Also, our server told us of new menu items, specifically gyros, that we want to try. We’re here for the summer so we’ll definitely be back again. 10/10

Nice restaurant for picking up lunch/dinner on the way out of a Northern Michigan trip. Good food, reasonable variety, and a family atmosphere. The seating area inside the restaurant seemed a bit dark though, so we opted to eat outside at the shaded picnic tables area. The restaurant has a convenience store section on one side so that was pretty useful for picking up snacks for the road trip ahead. My only complaint was their long service time.

Dinner was great. Kids devoured the pretzel app and their meals. The chicken drumsticks app was delicious as well and the ranch dressing for the salad was great. Service was really good and we would definitely come back when in town.

Went here for the 1st time back in 2017. I was disappointed then because once we were seated, it took forever for someone to wait on us, so we ended up leaving. I was worried about coming back, but I wasn’t disappointed this time! Our waitress was fast & friendly. They had this awesome drink special called “Beach Beer” & it was fantastic! Our pizza was delicious & the crust was perfect! I’m sad I haven’t been back sooner, but I’ll be back again!

Great drinks and food. The pizza was so fresh and tasty, and the kid’s grilled cheese was “the best grilled cheese!” my picky eater had ever had. Loved the wrap made with the portobello mushroom fries, and also the Greek salad.

Tasty pizza, thicker crust than average. Great with the garlic parmesan crust topping they offer. Mozzarella bread sticks were also a win. Quick service for the area.
