12 Best American Restaurants in Houghton Lake

“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.“

“great prime rib 3 kinds of fish fixed 3 different ways, pasta and other options steaks , shrimp.and more“

“Quaint restaurant in an old log cabin. Used to be Joe's Coney Island. Since it changed to Rex's, it has cute little dinosaur themed signs on the walls. Great food, with daily specials. They do charge extra, for using a credit card.“

“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.“
