This place was a surprise to me, Howard City’s little jewel. The atmosphere was amazing, very clean, and done so that you could dress up or dress down! Our waitress was sweet and on point. And the food was soo good. The pork tacos were amazing. Definite date night so over!!!!

This place was quite a surprise. We were looking for a restaurant between N.E . Grand Rapids and Hershey Mi to enjoy a long overdue Christmas celebration, and found this via Google maps. What a great little find!!! It’s been around now for about 4 years, an old hotel with renovated restaurant space. Nicely done. So comfortable, the menu is definitely worth the drive. The service was great, Cassie?, really made the experience complete. Oh, we’ll be back!

Great local restaurant. Our party of nine (five kids, four adults) all found something delicious off of the lunch menu. Cool old building and wonderful service.

This place was FABULOUS in all areas! Our server was amazing. The food was incredible. If I could give it 10 stars, I would! All of the adults ordered something different: pork tacos, shrimp tacos, French dip, bison meatloaf, and perch, truffle fries. Literally everything was fabulous! The kids enjoyed the fish kid’s meals as well. The restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms.

Great food! Great service and atmosphere in the heart of Howard City in historic building that was once a hotel back when. Nice bar too. I highly recommend it. Will return.

Ribs were cooked perfectly and the burger juicy and full of flavor. Best fries ever! The blue drink (can’t remember the name) was very good. Friendly and fast service. Looking forward to coming back to try more entrees!

Bryan was the best server! He had great suggestions and catered to our dietary restrictions, and made it a great experience for everyone. Not to mention the food and the vibe were spot on! Definitely recommend this random but awesome spot for fresh, farm to table food.

My favorite place to eat for sure. Can’t go wrong with the spicy shrimp tacos! Chicken fettuccine Alfredo absolute gas worth every penny. Large portions that slap! Great staff, booze are a tad pricey but I prefer reefer so it’s cool.
