Restaurants in Houghton Lake

“This was the best restaurant I’ve been to in a LONG time. I’ve never had better pancakes, and bacon and coffee. My mom had a country omelet and could NOT stop talking about how amazing it was and she went into detail about how they used ground sausage in the gravy instead of sausage links. She was all over the food and so was I. Best breakfast and lunch place in the area. I would highly recommend it to anyone, the servers are extremely sweet and friendly, the food comes quick, and everyone is willing to answer a question you might have. Extremely good service. I would come back here a million times again, their prices are extremely good and for the price, the food is wayyyy too good. 5 stars all the way because I can’t do 6.”

“I would recommend this restaurant any day of the week except for Monday and Tuesday evenings. I was in there tonight around 7:30 getting dinner with my grandson. it was 7:48. there was a car pull in to do the same thing. it would have been a table of 5 or 6 people coming in but one of the waitresses there took matters into her own hands walked over shut the open sign off then proceeded to walk out the side doors close to the funeral home and tell the costumers that they were closed. I don't see how this is far to not only the costumers or the restaurant owners. it is not the first time I have seen this done in Monday or Tuesday. I myself have witnessed it many others times turning customers away.”

“Food is always good when we go. Customer service by waitstaff was good. Only thing that we didnt appreciate this time was could hear the kitchen staff yelling and being a little much, BUT I know that has not happened other times so maybe it was just an off evening. Just makes hard to enjoy family time with your kid with that atmosphere. I will go again and do recommend others go.”

“It's all I crave when I come home! Best pizza and subs ever!”

“Was good. Got the Detroit style dog. It was good but i got onion rings and they cost more than the dog and I only got like 6 :/ So that kinda sucked when the bill came.”

“Excellent shrimp and the crab rangoons are fantastic! Can't wait to try the shrimp tacos the next time. Large servings, good prices, relaxed atmosphere, and the staff is so friendly and helpful! My new, favorite place! I wish they were open year-round.”

“best place ever. from the steak all the way to the fish fry.”

“VERY PLEASNTLY SUPRISED! I can't comment on the Buffet because we only ordered "Take-Out. However, we thoroughly enjoyed the Chicken Fried Rice, General Tso's Chicken, Sesame Chicken and the Mongolian Beef. The Beef and Chicken were tender and flavorful. We like it Spicey so next time we will order it that way and trust me there will be a next time. Very ample sized portions for the price. n”

“11 of us for a mid afternoon meal. The waitress, Stacie, was awesome! Personable and efficient! Best mushrooms I’ve ever had! The fried mushrooms are Bella mushrooms and they were amazing! Made fresh in house! Chicken Caesar salad was good, hamburgers were good, Rubens were good! Drinks were good! We will definitely come here again! 😍”
