What a great small town bar with a friendly bartender and excellent bar food.My buddy had the black and blue Burger which I had a small taste of and it was excellent.I have the barbecue chicken sandwich on a bond that was also cooked to perfection.Just the right amount of fries and cold beer topped off our adventure.

we stopped in the bar this past Saturday and weren't disappointed at all. In fact the black and blue burger was the best burger I have had in a very long time. The bartender was very nice and took great care of us. I'm already looking forward to our next time there.

Central Lake Tavern is a gem with a perfect "up-North" feel. From the warm ambiance to the excellent food, service, and drink selection, every aspect is commendable. Chris, the owner, is a fantastic host, he and his entire staff ensure that every guest feels welcome. They have trivia Tuesday nights @ 6:30pm. If you're in the area and searching for great food at a great price, it's worth the drive from Bellaire, Torch Lake, Boyne City, Boyne Falls, East Jordan, and elsewhere. Don't miss out on this delightful experience. Its a must-visit for all.
I think I had one of the very best burgers of my 65-year-old life tonight at the Central Lake Tavern! Not even exaggerating.

Great people and definitely the best restaurant in town. If the owner seems a bit rough around the edges, he is. So what, eat your dinner and have a good night.

One of the best burgers I've ever had, but bring a big wallet cause it ain't cheap!

Had a wonderful lunch and a great time watching two football games at once with the locals. The burgers were fantastic!!
The cheese curds were delicious! I had their rodeo burger and it was so good. Price wasn't bad either.
