“Friendly atmosphere. Small town appeal.”

“This place was absolutely AMAZING!!! We ended up trying it out cause we heard such good things! I'll start with the location...conveniently located off the hwy. The parking lot was well kept, easy to navigate around and clean! They even had RV parking! Which was great! Since we were camping at the time. When you walk up to the store, everything is very welcoming! There were seasonal flowers outside that looked beautiful and healthy! When you walk in, everything was clean and organized! The play area inside for little ones is such a great idea! It makes it nice for when the weather isn't so great, kids still can have some fun. The coffee area and café were very well organized and clean also! I had a apple cider sundae and doughnut...SOOOO YUMMMY! We also got a pizza and played on the playground outside! My kids loved the mega pillow! We also had a blast on the zipline! We bought some stuff in the giftshop! I love all the different options they had there! Something for everyone! Even a toy area! We had so much fun, that we went back there the next day! lol! We had a wonderful breakfast at the café! This is a one-of-a-kind, beautiful family friendly business and I'm so thankful me and my family finally got to visit! We live 5 hours away, but we will definitely be back! :)”

“good food good people good service”

“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!”

“Always a favorite stop when I’m in town. Excited to see a location coming in Walloon!”

“We have been stopping in at South Arm for several years now when we are in the East Jordan area! Great menu, awesome food, and service with a smile, always! My favorite is the cinnamon toast!! Ahhhmazing ;)”

“Awesome spot for food & drinks in Charlevoix! Lots of big tables and outdoor space, delicious food at all the trucks. Try the sliders inside! ;)”

“Y’all are the real MVPs. 😄”

“I absolutely love Charlevoix Biggby! The service has never been anything less than stellar. Staff is always kind and friendly, and drinks are made consistently.”

“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.”

“Second time here and we will not forget to come in for a burger and a beer again when we are in the area. Great burgers, laid back atmosphere, deep fried green beans, what more can you ask?”

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

“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!”

“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.”

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

“Food was piping hot and plenty of it. I had Kung Pao chicken and it was very good. I like spice and it was just right! Excellent, friendly service. My friends liked their dishes as well.. We will be back.”

“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 !!”

“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.”

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

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

“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!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐️

Huge shoutout to the East Jordan McDonald’s team! Despite being absolutely slammed due to the power outage, the crew remained professional, efficient, and incredibly hardworking. The service was fast, friendly, and organized, even with the overwhelming number of customers.

The staff handled the pressure with patience and positivity, making sure everyone was taken care of as quickly as possible. The food was fresh and well-prepared, and the whole team deserves major appreciation for keeping things running so smoothly during such a stressful time.

Whoever the GM is—you should be extremely proud of your team! They are doing an amazing job under tough circumstances.

To anyone stopping in—please be kind and patient with the workers. They are working tirelessly to serve the community, and a little gratitude can go a long way!

Thank you, East Jordan McDonald’s, for your dedication and hard work! You all are truly rockstars!”

“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.”
