“I’m staying in Gaylord for work and I came across Mooney’s Ice cream parlor. I had the sister flight which was five scoops of ice cream for five dollars. Crystal was the one that helped me and she is a lovely lady. Definitely telling my friends.“

“Love eating there“

“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.“

“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! 😉“

“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.“
