“Their products are made fresh and from scratch, the produce is absolutely wonderful. The market is always clean and the employees are always ready to help you. It’s a Great 3-generation family owned and run business!!”

“Beautiful setting! Rolling hills overlooking Lake Michigan. Tasty brews, lots of variety with beer, cider, wine and kombucha on draft. A hiking trail links up with the outdoor area if you want to hop on a trail (we did). Dog friendly. Very friendly bartender named Topher!”

“I’ve never had a bad experience here. Been here many times and the food is always excellent!”

“Don’t skip this gem. Their burgers are absolutely delicious. Hands down among the top burgers I’ve ever eaten. Since discovering them, we have been back several times for more burgers. This place is a no BS dive bar with the sweetest bar dog, Lacey. I love a good dive and the tavern checks all the marks. Chris and staff, thank you for providing locals with year round delicious eats and great service! We appreciate you!”

“The craft lemonades are to die for! I had the peach ginger honey and added a shot of bourbon from the bar! they change biweekly so I'd recommend stopping in whenever you're in the charlevoix or petoskey area! Also all the sliders are a perfect 10. and finally, they have what I must say are the best fries in all of northern Michigan.”

“Best place in Northern Michigan 🍧🍬🍭”

“Food was excellent! We were too hungry to get pictures.”

“We have had great service here in the past and great food. They even made a special pasta for my granddaughter. But last night was a disaster. They were out of so many options on the menu. When we ordered our burgers she said she cannot guarantee they will be made the temperature we requested because they are so busy. Wow, really? When ordering drinks so many options of beers not available. She didn’t know what brands of scotch and vodka were available. We asked for a drink menu but she couldn’t be bothered with that but continued to muddle through her iPad lists. When our food came, I had asked for my burger to be without bun. But they didn’t include the aoli sauce so I asked for some for my burger. My husbands wings came out very dry and just a dab of sauce in the bottom of the basket. So he asked for more buffalo sauce. Waitress said “oh they were tossed in sauce already. Maybe they were just sitting for awhile waiting for the other food to be done.” WOW, really? Well they are too dry. Need more sauce. Then when the bill came they charged us $2.00 for the sauces! We complained and she said she had to charge us. We asked to speak to the manager. SHE argued with us. She said she watched them toss our wings in the 2 oz of sauce and they were fine. I said there absolutely was no white aoli sauce on my burger. She said she would be ok taking that charge off. But since when do you argue with a customer? Especially someone who is a regular and have gotten those same things in the past and had appropriate sauces. Just too bad that even a manager would act this way. We hate being nickel and dimed for everything. Give it a try. They normally do have good food. Most of the time we have good service but last night was very trying.”

“We had dinner here this evening and everything was wonderful. Our waitress Gabriella was amazing. She handled our group of 11 like a champ! Thank you!”

“Amazing fresh quality pizza ! I love their pizza !! The best pizza !! Specially i love the pickle pizza its hard to point just one favorite they are all soo good !!”

“I highly recommend the macaroni and cheese!! chicken tacos and the pulled pork sandwich”

“Love this place. Pizza is out of this world. Best pizza in Northern Michigan. Prices are awesome.”

“Im somewhat of a travel bug and a foodie. Iwill drive for a couple hours to try a great meal. This place will become a travel to destination for Michigan. The coney dogs are on a fresh toasted bun with a out of this world coney sauce. The broasted potato wedges are unbelievably delicious. I have had chicken of all kinds, but not like this broasted chicken. OMG It's so juicy and tasty, you will wish you had ordered more. Seriously it's the best chicken in Michigan, maybe the whole wide world. I have no affiliation with this business or the owners. This review is true and reflects my opinion. If you travel to try the food, you won't be disappointed. Cool interior with lots of signed sports memorabilia. Large deck with view of the lake and music park. Now talk about the ice cream parlor. High quality ice cream with many delicious flavors. My favorite is the carrot cake. I like this place so much, I even designed a shirt.”

“Everytime I go in I feel very welcome and have never had problems throughout the many times I have visited and bought food from this place. All workers are very friendly and nice.”

“I eat Thai often & their Thai was questionable. The Tom Yum soup was coconut milk with a lot of hot spicy oil, very few vegetables, and no lemongrass- one of the main ingredients of the soup. My Thai dish was kind of tasty, but not spicy. I had asked for medium. Also I paid for the house special curry which was a combination of chicken & shrimp, and there wasn't any shrimp in it, and few vegetables. Also their Thai tea was mostly cream or milk, little tea & little to no sweetness. I spent over $30 for an unsatisfying meal. Another thing, a man walked in to buy more rice since he didn't get enough & he was charged $7.00! I will not get Thai there again. Maybe their Chinese meals are better!”

“5/7/2022 Service was very good, cashier very friendly. However (all) the tables needed to be wiped off.”

“The food is good and what you would expect from MacDonalds; however, if you go there through the work week (especially mornings) you will see that they have a well-oiled machine. The staff are friendly, courteous, efficient, and eager to please. I would guess your average wait time in their drive-through line is 5 - 7 min. max. Their "A Team" in the mornings is great!”

“From the moment I walked into Little Caesars, I was genuinely impressed by the warm and professional welcome I received. Lucy, the employee who greeted me, had an incredibly friendly and inviting demeanor, instantly making me feel like a valued guest. She gave a thoughtful and enthusiastic introduction to the Little Caesars, highlighting a few signature items and letting me know she was happy to assist in any way with my order. It’s rare to experience that level of hospitality and genuine care, and it truly elevated my visit. Lucy’s exceptional service sets a gold standard — a great reflection of both her dedication and the values of the establishment.”
