“We’ve just had a delicious dinner here at Inn the Woods. Excellent salmon, pretzel bites and the spinach artichoke dip for apps, plus an incredible French Dip sandwich. Fast and friendly service as always! Thank you Kyle and staff for making sure your customers leave smiling and come back for more. You’re all doing an excellent job!“

“Great place! Good food great service“

“Very noisy because they have nothing but hard surfaces with nothing to deaden the noise. Fare is average, nothing special, but they do make proper buffalo style wings. Kind of a disappointment as Treetops bills itself as a premier destination... Must be they only focus on the golf courses and beleive offering a little lesser in the accomodations and dining gives them a pass.“

“We’ve been coming here for a long time but just now getting around to a review. We have never really had bad meal and always have a good time. Waitstaff is always great and very cordial and friendly. We celebrated my wife’s birth day Friday with my daughter and the waitress was outstanding. Food was great, so good we came back for pizza the next evening. Highly recommended“

“This was my first time eating at an Applebee's. It was a pretty good first time. I had the fish & chips and onion rings. Our drinks were refilled when we were low. For the bill I scanned a QR code on the receipt to pay with my phone. They also take cash.“

“We went tonight and both had the weekend special, a local bison tenderloin with Michigan morel glacé and truffle mashed potatoes.

It was perhaps the best meal I have eaten this year. The different flavors of this dish blending together was a true culinary experience, the bison tenderloin was the star. It was thick and delicious, easily sliced with a butter knife. Their desert special was a Ginger Cake with an apple Carmel sauce and glaze. It was good my wife ordered another one for takeout, so she could have it the next day.“

“Great owners, great drinks and great customers. Always have a great time at Karma Taproom.“

“Always stop when up north. Either at Clare or Gaylord. Excellent product and choices.“

“AMAZING Food & Service. Clean & friendly 🙌 stopped coming through from the UP. 5 Stars all around. Side salad was SO good with house made dressings! Must try. Outside seating was a bonus. Christine G. Took such good care of us!!!!“

“My mom and I were just in to eat dinner on the 4th around 6:30pm we had the prime rib which was absolutely delicious. The appetizer was delicious and the drinks were ice cold. The highlight of it all was our server Sarah, she was very nice and her customer service was impeccable. we will definitely be back just from her service alone.“

“Yo! That Sunnyside is the nectar of the Gods! Great food, great folks, delicious beverages.“

“Food was absolutely delicious!“

“What a wonderful Big Boy experience!! We loved everything about it!!“

“I was disappointed in the way the brisket was cut, usually, that wouldn't have been enough, but
I'm used to having it cut on the biased. So it pulls out like an accordion. This was in chunks, not necessarily my cup of tea, it made it taste different. Not necessarily bad, but different.
We ordered chicken,ribs and brisket plater.“

“my family stopped at this store on the way home from vacationing. the food was amazing but we loved our server,Sarah.she was so warm and friendly and radiates joy. my grandson said he wished we lived near here not just for the great food but because Sarah was so nice.“

“My husband and I visited the Gaylord location on Friday February 28th 2025 and had a great experience. Our server was extremely busy and still managed to reach all our needs. Brooke did an amazing job!“
