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!“

“Great place! Good food great service“

“Fish on Friday been great 👍 every time I’ve had it“

“This is a sweet hidden treasure right here in Gaylord. They offered many selections of icecream. We were having a hard time getting my grandson to pick a flavor and they were quick to offer him a tiny taste to help him decide. The service was quick, the place was clean and pricing great.“

“Love eating there“

“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! 😉“

“Very noisy because they have nothing but hard surfaces with nothing to deaden the noise. Fare is average, nothing special, but they do make proper buffalo style wings. Kind of a disappointment as Treetops bills itself as a premier destination... Must be they only focus on the golf courses and beleive offering a little lesser in the accomodations and dining gives them a pass.“

“Great owners, great drinks and great customers. Always have a great time at Karma Taproom.“

“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.“

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

“It was my first time coming back to Abe‘s after a couple years and it was a good experience. There were just two of us and we sat in the bar area at a booth. Our server was pretty experience and it seemed like he had been there for a while, so that was good and he gave us a great experience and recommendations. We got the two for 25 with the cheeseburger wontons and I got the 6 ounce steak and then the cheeseburger option that just got added the cheeseburger wontons were good. Nothing amazing but still good. I enjoyed my steak even though there was a little bit of fatty piece to it. I just cut around it and I really like the mashed potatoes and broccoli either way. We also got the dollar which for $.50 more you can add a flavor. The service and food were good overall my only suggestion is that perhaps this location could benefit from an update as it appears to still have the early 2010s aesthetic with the high school teams montages on the walls. Even a few little facelifts here and there would be helpful to bring it into 2026..“

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

“Passed inspection. No corrective action required at this time.

Highly recommend the Gaylord manager’s special. Thick meaty sausages, hand rubbed with secret sauce, stuffed in fresh fluffy buns, extra mayo. Delish.“

“Great good & great service!“

“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 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.“

“The place was packed so service was slow. It was very friendly, just slow.
Had the brisket platter! Wow. Flavor was mouthwatering. And a very nice portion too.
Side of coleslaw was good but the smoked beans were great. Had a bourbon flavor to them.
Great great place, even if you need to wait a bit.“

“What a wonderful Big Boy experience!! We loved everything about it!!“

“My husband and I visited the Gaylord location on Friday February 28th 2025 and had a great experience. Our server was extremely busy and still managed to reach all our needs. Brooke did an amazing job!“
