Our family had a cheeseburger/fries, chicken quesadilla nachos and fried mushrooms appetizer. Food and service were really good. Great service and the food was enjoyed by all.

Pizza not cooked long enough doughy instead of crunchy. fish and chips not greasy but needs some flavor pretty bland.

Very clean. Friendly staff. Our server Justin was great. Offered excellent suggestions and was always nearby if we needed anything.This was our first visit but it definitely won't be the last.

We were here a month ago. Food was good. Today (07/25/25)not so good.We were 4 adults. Service was alright. Two meals were cold two were hot. Sent back one meal (burrito) took 10 minutes to get the replacement. End up having to take it home. Came here for a nice meal with friends. Really no apology for the inconvenience. There are better options in the area for the same prices. Hate to give this review but it is the truth.

We ordered fish(3) and a burrito. It took awhile for dinners (probably 20 minutes). The three fish dinners were fine but burrito was ice cold. We sent it back and 1/2 hr later got it back when everyone was done eating. No excuse for such poor service. Doubt if we’ll be back. Too bad cause it a neighborhood place.

it was warm inside but they did say the air was having issues. the food was okay average small restaurant food. service was one person but they did a good enough job. if your there and need a okay meal it works for that. 2 people $40 so i'd go again if in the area.

It was ok, food was ok. Fish dinner was good. French dip sandwich was nothing but meat on bread and au jus... No cheese? Service was ok. Our server was very nice but got busy with other big tables in the back that came in after us and wasn't able to check back with us for drink refreshes and if we needed anything else. Decor was retro and neat but noisy. I'm a local from Traverse city, maybe we'll try again some day.

Stopped for a quick libation and stayed awhile. Great staff! Ordered a patty melt. Delush. Homemade salad dressings were yummy.

A great little cozy local place as your passing thru, on the way from Thompsonville to Interlochen. Has a deli next door, too. Service was fabulous, and our waitress was great!

Have only had the Cajun catfish dinner. The old bar has a great vibe. Check it out if in the area. I'm glad I did.

Love this place!! The staff is fantastic! The food is great (yes the BEST ranch dressing!) The atmosphere is just perfect balance, not too loud yet not too quiet to have you feeling awkward. Thank you for all you do!

The Karlin Inn was phenomenal. Very courteous and patient staff. Delicious fries (and ranch)! I had the Italian Stallion sandwich and oh my goodness was it delicious, fresh, and had such a great texture. 10/10. Definitely going back!
