The service was fantastic, the food was great, really good pizza, nachos. We now have our lunch spot for future trips to Gaylord.”

“Lori was our vendor for the desserts at a family wedding. What beautiful and delicious desserts!! We could not have been happier with not only her product but also her customer service.

“We traveled through Gaylord last Saturday Sept 24 with our BIG family and stopped in for lunch. I wanted to say that the 3 employee's working that day made our first visit to Five Guys very welcoming. They were so pleasant even tho we had alot of people to order at one time. Our food came out soooo quick and it was very good. Even tho it was very expensive it was amazing . The best part our girls are STILL talking about how good the burgers were!!!!!! My youngest says it's her favorite place to eat now. Wish we had one closer! Keep up the great work Gaylord location! We will be back when passing again!!”

I, on a whim, ordered the mushroom soup. Their mushroom soup was THE BEST soup I've ever had. It was so good that we will be making the 4 hour trip to eat it again next week.”

“Best Applebee's around. I am from Rockford and visit other restaurants when around here. Gaylord Applebees is always good. Go there when in town around dinner time.”

“Clean is a under statement this place was spotless!!! So clean the chairs squeaked off the floor . I tried the smoked brisket and it was excellent. Had the mind debate of getting another it was so good. Staff was right up to snuff (no issues )would take my family there again.”

“We attended a very small wedding reception at Tavern Inn the Woods last weekend and it was very nice. The food was good, the private room was beautiful, the servers were professional, and the bar was fully stocked with a pleasant and competent bartender... and she made me a tasty 'adult' coffee, which I needed in the cold weather! 😉”

“I'm just writing this review because we stopped in for a few drinks and our bartender Jaime was just the best! Very nice and hilarious! I believe in giving credit where credit is due!!”

“It was good , some guy that was working there even helped my sister with her cup lid”

“The service here was fast and the coffee was hot!!”

“I was disappointed in the way the brisket was cut, usually, that wouldn't have been enough, but
I'm used to having it cut on the biased. So it pulls out like an accordion. This was in chunks, not necessarily my cup of tea, it made it taste different. Not necessarily bad, but different.
We ordered chicken,ribs and brisket plater.”

“Great food in authentic style, love clams, mussels and linguine”

“We went tonight and both had the weekend special, a local bison tenderloin with Michigan morel glacé and truffle mashed potatoes.

It was perhaps the best meal I have eaten this year. The different flavors of this dish blending together was a true culinary experience, the bison tenderloin was the star. It was thick and delicious, easily sliced with a butter knife. Their desert special was a Ginger Cake with an apple Carmel sauce and glaze. It was good my wife ordered another one for takeout, so she could have it the next day.”

“my family stopped at this store on the way home from vacationing. the food was amazing but we loved our server,Sarah.she was so warm and friendly and radiates joy. my grandson said he wished we lived near here not just for the great food but because Sarah was so nice.”

“I only recommend Gaylord Qdoba because i love the food. I was in the restaurant Nov. 1, 2025 about 2 pm. The older lady at the register was dismissive, rude, never acknowledged me even though I tried to engage her. There was another young girl working next to her and she kept barking orders at her. you could tell she was nervous and anxious. the gentleman before me needed a cup of sour cream and the girl was putting my order together. this woman was huffing and puffing waiting for sour cream. Meanwhile it was sitting there right between them she could have easily grabbed it instead of leaning on the counter. I let this young girl know she could fill the sour cream and id wait. The entire experience has stayed with me and I'm up at 4 am writing a review because we need to do better. This poor girl was doing a good job but this woman was a horrible co worker. Encouragement and help go a long way. Team work and general compassion as well as a smile and hello can do amazing things.”
