“This is the only restaurant worth eating at Boyne mountain resort. It doesn't have very many tables and it can get pretty busy probably because it's decent as compared to the other restaurant options here which are not.

The French onion soup was excellent as well as a caesar salad.

Everetts it's like a poor tourist junk food version of Applebee's.“

The sauces we picked were delectable and the hush puppies were perfection. Can’t wait to go back and will definitely bring friends with us.“

“how have I not been here before? Such a fun warm up or lunch spot. we took Hemlock lift to get there, but it is SLOW! Still fun to see the view on the way down, however no skis allowed on it in 2023, we left ours at the bottom. Eagles nest is very casual, decent food, awesome view. Nice drink selection.“

“Brisket Tacos… perfection. Thank you to Chrystal for being super amazing and sweet! Tacos were amazing, pickled onions, arugula and the brisket wasn’t super fatty. Also homemade potato chips tossed in a ranch dry rub… so awesome! These tacos kick ass! Paired well with the Bells Eclipse.“
