Restaurants in Gaylord

“We enjoyed a marvelous dinner and experience sitting at the bar and having Danielle as our bartender. It is so enjoyable to have a great night out with good food, good cocktails, and good service! Thank you for a memorable night out!”

“Food n Stuff will not disappoint! The food is fabulous and staff far surpasses most food establishments. We visited twice while in the area, the food fresh, creative and scrumptious! The rapport between staff and patrons was delightful beyond expectations. If ever in the area we will return!”

“Pine Squirrel was recommended to use by the Business Manager at Jim Weirnig. It did not disappoint. My pizza was cheesy and delicious. My husband had a specialty Sloppy Burger that he enjoyed. You have choice of chips or potato salad and he chose the potato salad and said it was very good. The service was amazing and it did not take long to get our food. We give this a 10 out of 10 ranking and highly recommend it.”

“Absolutely love Mai Salads! The salad is a great size and all the veggies fresh! The drinks are also delicious! Cannot wait to return to try more items!”

“My mom and I were just in to eat dinner on the 4th around 6:30pm we had the prime rib which was absolutely delicious. The appetizer was delicious and the drinks were ice cold. The highlight of it all was our server Sarah, she was very nice and her customer service was impeccable. we will definitely be back just from her service alone.”

“Great place! Good food great service”

“We’ve just had a delicious dinner here at Inn the Woods. Excellent salmon, pretzel bites and the spinach artichoke dip for apps, plus an incredible French Dip sandwich. Fast and friendly service as always! Thank you Kyle and staff for making sure your customers leave smiling and come back for more. You’re all doing an excellent job!”

“Looking for gluten free options? Firehouse has not only salads but their gluten free buns are amazing, nice and soft with plenty of flavor.”

“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!!”

“Delicious drinks and snacks! Also a cozy, fun location to kick back and relax for a bit. It is a very clean, super friendly, family owned business! I love the atmosphere. The kids especially loved the (food and drinks) and games!🎲”

“Thank you for the ice cream it is really good the dank you”

“Always stop when up north. Either at Clare or Gaylord. Excellent product and choices.”

“Nowicki’s sausages are a family favorite. We place orders to be shipped to California about once per year, unless I make a trip to Michigan, then i load up my suitcase up for the trip back. My favorite is Jalapeño Cheddar, my wife’s is BBQ honey, and my brother’s appears to be the Polish.”

“Just excellent service, food and presentation! We will return.”

“Yo! That Sunnyside is the nectar of the Gods! Great food, great folks, delicious beverages.”

“The taste of the beef, shrimp and chicken was superb in the rice with sauteed vegetables. The cherry margarita just topped it off. The waiters were quick and delightful with authentic music in the background. Would recommend this for a great date night.”

“Great good & great service!”

“We stopped in for an early dinner while visiting the area. I was really looking forward to some potatoe soup and was disappointed to hear they had just ran out before we got there. 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.”

“Amazing food made by an amazing family and team! 😋”

“Yummy”

“I visit this place every time my family comes to Gaylord. We always get great food and fantastic service. I wish they would open a place in middle Tennessee.”

“My husband and I had a mid-afternoon meal at Crave today, it was our first time there and we were very pleased. The food was exceptionally good, our server took great care of us and we loved the warm atmosphere. I don't do a lot of reviews, but this place definitely deserves one! I highly recommend the Panino Al Manzo (beef brisket) and Casa del Amore salad. Both so flavorful! We will be back!”

“Absolutely amazing banana split drink. So far, every drink that I’ve had there was very good. I’m definitely going back to try some of the other drinks they make. Very friendly people. They always make my drinks to my specifications.”

“Love their ice cream! Friendly staff and on Fridays they have .99 cent kids ice cream cones. Big selection of ice cream flavors. Seating available inside and maybe a picnic table or two outside.”

“After leaving another local restaurant due to a very poor experience, we decided to stop here on a whim — and it completely saved our evening.

From the moment we walked in, the service was fantastic. Our server was attentive, friendly, and somehow seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask. The food came out quickly, hot, and incredibly fresh.

This was honestly some of the best Chinese/Thai food we’ve ever had. You could immediately tell that so much of it was fresh and homemade. The egg drop soup and spring rolls were easily some of the best I’ve ever eaten. We also ordered wontons, fried rice, and the chicken pad prik, and every single dish was absolutely delicious.

Everything was so good that we ended up ordering another full meal to take home for later.

After such a disappointing start to the evening elsewhere, this restaurant completely turned the night around with outstanding food and exceptional service. We will definitely be back.”

“By far the best and most consistent pizza spot in town. Foods great and so is the staff. Only place I get pizza from weekly for the past four years. I keep trying the others and it’s they haven’t impressed me yet. Thank you guys!”

“They never ever fail me! 🤗”

“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! 😉”

“Love eating there”

“Great Food, but eating area is not as nice as it was years ago. Pop machine has been down for a while. You have to buy cans of Pop at $2.25 each. Prices are way higher than our Mancino's in Midland, MI ... Food quality is Always Worth stopping for.”

“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.”

“The employees at this location specifically are always so friendly and kind. I rarely leave reviews but I always stop at this location on my way up to school and every single time the people working here are so kind so I thought I’d leave a review.”

“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!!”

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

“My favorite is the fiesta lime chicken. Hubby ordered the new OM cheeseburger and would not recommend that. But the food is usually very good. We enjoy the spinach artichoke dip and highly recommend.”

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

“My wife and I are visiting Gaylord from Lapeer and had to stop in to the Iron Pig. I asked for outside seating and Katie had no problem sitting us out there even though everyone else was inside. Katie made my drink perfectly. Prefect food”

“This restaurant is one of the most welcoming places around. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. Trina’s service really stands out—she has such a great way of making guests feel at home. She’s amazing at helping you find the perfect drink and always has spot-on menu recommendations. You can tell she genuinely wants everyone to have a great experience. Between the friendly vibe, great service, and delicious food and drinks, it’s definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!”

“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.”

“Atmosphere was nice; the server taking our table, named Nathan, was pleasant and made sure we had everything we needed every step of the way. The food itself was also good and had little issues with the taste.”
