Not very accommodating for large groups. We had 14 women for a 21st birthday party. We were ready for a great dinner. Our group was aged 76 years old to 19 years old, 2 grandma's, 7 45-50 year olds, 5 under 25. We wanted to sit together, the resturant was empty, 10 of us were placed together, 4 a little ways away. We politely asked to be together and said we could share a bench area squeezing in. We were not uncomfortable. We were treated rudely, saying the server can't do it. Our server came, obviously seemed upset and we started to order and we were told we had to pay all together, one bill. We didn't have cash for that. We were treated poorly but ordered drinks, and apps. We felt very uncomfortable with how we were being treated so we decided to go elsewhere for dinner. 1 person put the $140 bill on their card to just get us out of there. The drinks and cheese curds were very good but we would not recommend going there with a large group. We left and found an amazing restaurant near by that accommodated us with all our requests. Even 2 seperate customers commented to us as we left that they noticed how rudely we were treated.

Not impressed. Tourist trap. Overpriced for basic food. 3% credit card fee. Waitress was very friendly, but they were short staffed = slow service. Only outdoor seating at the time, and it was chilly/windy out. Everything served in plastic and only plastic silverware. They served steak, but no steak sauce. The bun of my burger was stale and flaking apart. The chicken tenders were good. We had a buger, chicken tenders (came with a bag of chips, fries were extra), and two cups of soup it was $55!

Parking: There is a parking lot, but if it's in season and the restaurant is at full capacity, parking would be a challenge. No parking for campers, trailers, or RV.

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp

Our server was nice but that's the only good thing I have to say about this place. The cherry chicken salad sandwich was mushy and tasted old. Salads are served in plastic bowls, and the ranch dressing was in packets. It's not hard to make homemade salad dressings. The chili was mediocre. Very expensive for what we got.

Brendan was very polite, attentive. BIG chunky (barn like) timbers with upside down pails for lighting creative.

2 PM on a nice Saturday afternoon, granted. But off season, if barely. Moderately busy. And SLLLLOOOOOOWWWW. Uncomfortable vibes from server. The fact she brought us "boneless wings" when we ordered....say it with me now...wings, didn't help. Prices were what you'd expect at a tourist trap, too much but food was pretty good. In the end, too much time waiting for too much money for too little value. Was looking forward to this from reviews and was disappointed.

This could be such a fun place except the service and policies are not customer friendly. They refuse to run separate checks at a table, and they say they can't run multiple payment methods (cash+cc) on one check because "the system is old and can't handle it". They add 3% to the bill assuming a cc will be used to pay, then don't take off the cc fee when paying with cash. When questioning why the change was not correct in our case, the server was pretty snarky about it, ultimately returning more money than we were due in what felt like an attempt to make us feel like cheapskates. I don't mind paying for what I agreed to, but I don't like businesses that nickel and dime me with fees after charging a fairly high amount to begin with, then fail to calculate the change correctly and treat me poorly when I question it. Won't be back here for a long while.

Food was fine sort of crazy they didn't have the Tigers on because people might sit there a long time. Really? If it's a big deal then put a time limit on people. We took 7 people to watch some of game and eat lunch.

Very slow service, waitress seemed annoyed from the minute our group was seated. Never once checked in after serving our food. Everyone's food was served cold. We have been coming here for about 10 years and I cannot believe how much it has declined!!!!

Good service and fun atmosphere. We had the Salmon and the Perch. Main courses were average to good. Sides were at best average. Very expensive for the quality of food.

Whitefish sandwich tasted like it was frozen for days. My hu No flavor whatsoever. One of the bathroom stalls was out of order with water on the floor coming into the other stall.

This place did not blow us away. Our party of 6 was sat fairly quickly, but we didn't see our server for about 10 minutes. Now I myself am a server, so I tend to be critical, but I also take some things into consideration. Our service this visit was not good. The establishment has a very unique outdoor dining setting and appeared to be well-staffed. The food was mid, good portions though. There is a 20% gratuity charge added to checks, (maybe over a certain number in the party) but we weren't made aware of that. Not a deal breaker but it would have been nice to know. This place was okay, but we probably won't be back.

We had dinner here 9-28-24. We got cauliflower bites with “homemade ranch” which was served with store bought ranch. I got a blue cheese burger. The burger was a pre made burger patty. The worst part was the whole purchase was almost 60$. That’s crazy expensive for mediocre food. Person I was with got fish and fries. Said it was good.
