Bartender was great tonight. Very welcoming and bubbly. Owner on the other hand was clearly intoxicated and belittled and degraded her staff in front of customers, it was very disturbing to see/hear and it was blatantly rude to the staff and the customers. Very unprofessional 3/10 recommendation

Food and service are great. The sandwiches and salads are made with fresh produce, bread, and meat. The hot food was served hot. Great burgers and appetizers. The staff is the best.

Wow! The food was so good! Affordable and great service! I had the stuffed pepper soup ... amazing! And the fish/chips were so good. My son had tacos. My husband had chili cheese fries.

I have frequented your restaurant several times before and enjoyed the food. Yesterday, I ordered the "battered fish and chips" It was horrible. It was basically thin, frozen, pre battered fish that I could buy at a grocery store, only worse. I received 3 pieces, but could only get through one. I took the rest home, and threw it out. I didn't want to make a fuss. I was enjoying lunch with dear old friends and did not want to put a damper on the afternoon. My suggestion is to either take it off the menu or change the wording on the menu item. I expected freshly "battered" fish.

The burger was so good my taste buds flew to heaven. I can’t even describe how good it was out of my whole 10 years of my life. I’ve never had something so good. Keep being you and stay awesome.

On our visit to Frankenmuth, my wife and I popped into the Dead Creek Saloon for a bar dinner. We found two seats at the bar and had a couple of beers and chatted with the servers. The place was busy with many locals, mainly male, enjoying their evening post work beers, playing games and watching TV. We were both dressed down appropriately in jeans, trainers and T-shirts so we fitted into the 'saloon bar' vibe. We enjoyed our bar meals and the great buzzy atmosphere of the noisy bar.

We got to the restaurant at approximately 6:00pm. We were seated and had drinks within a few minutes. My mom and I then placed our food order, which was just a small order of nachos and a taco salad. No appetizers and probably two of the simplest items on the menu. A group of three people came in after us and received their food 10-15 minutes BEFORE we got ours. By the way, we got our food at 6:55pm on the dot. I know this because we were seconds away from getting up and walking out because we had plans to see a movie at the movie theater at 7:05pm. Since our food finally came out, we asked the waitress to give us take out boxes and our bill so we could make it to the movie in time and still grab a little bite to eat on the way. While waiting for our boxes and the bill, my mom and I started eating. I received the WORST nachos I have ever had in my life. The meat was cold and old looking, like it had been sitting for awhile. I tried to pick up a chip and every chip on my plate came with it because they were all stuck together. I tried separating the chips and it took so much force that when it did finally come apart, my chip flew out of my hand and onto the floor. My nachos were cold and appeared as if they had been sitting out for God knows how long. My moms taco salad wasn’t much better, but atleast her meat was warmish vs cold like mine. Then to make the situation worse, it took the waitress a good 5-10 mins just to give us our bill. When we finally did get the bill, it was a whopping $31 and some cents for a small nacho and taco salad with two pops. To top it all off, the waitress didn’t seem to care. There was no “sorry for the wait” or even “have a good night.” So overall, the customer service was flat out BAD, the food was TERRIBLE, and we were still hungry and ended up being late to the movie. I will not be returning here anytime soon, if ever again.

Waited 2 and a half hours for food, they didn't read the ticket right, and food tasted weird. It sounded good, I was wrong

Impossibly long wait times for barely edible food served by completely overworked and burnt out staff. A regular customer walked himself behind the bar to help himself to a beer while the only server/bartender ran circles to care for the entire restaurant and bar. Two tables straight up walked out, one had never been greeted and the other waited nearly an hour and a half after ordering before finally giving up and walking on whatever tab they had accrued. A random human dressed as the Grinch wandered through the restaurant to bother already irritated tables. This felt like a fever dream.

Cann my e in and nobody greeted us , when they cane 5 minutes later ( she just said follow me”
Took 19 minutes for waitress, chili was cold and the very good!. Gave us no silverware. Tables left un bussed table, my wife ordered clam chowder which never came ( probably a good thing) 3 people got food while other 2 and waited for food, cold fries . Apparently they don’t want to grow business, just happy with the 5 locals belly up to bar drinking light beer. We have been here before but guess they let it go.
Don’t waste your time, money going here .
They don’t want, appreciate or deserve business!!!!!!!!
