We come up from the Midland area to visit. The food is amazing. The wait staff is fun and attentive and the atmosphere is wonderful. I also want to note, the portions are huge! We definitely get our money's worth.
OMG. Just left The Iron Skillet. Visiting from Kentucky and had the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and vegetables and it was AMAZING!! My sister had the burrito and it was absolutely delicious!!! All the food was hot as well. Great and friendly service too. If you’re around Mancelona it’s a must. I can only imagine what breakfast is like. ♥️
This place is by far the best restaurant I’ve ever ate at, breakfast and dinner! And the affordability is a bonus! Our server was amazing, same lady both times but I forgot to catch her name. No one told us about this place during our stay in Torch Lake area, we found it on our own and so glad we tried. It is a MUST STOP! We tried a variety of their options and weren’t dissatisfied with any!
