Beautiful view from sunny patio. Michigan salad and beers were great. Music too loud so went elsewhere for dinner.

Other than making the mistake of going before we could order an entree at 4, the staff, atmosphere and meals we got were great!

Love this place! Everyone there is always so lovely and friendly. The vibes are fun and the new patio is great. I tired a new to me dish, the buffalo chicken cheesy potatoes. This was good but not my favorite - I felt it was missing something but what idk. Still rating 5 stars cuz it was very delicious (not everything can be a favorite) It did remind me of a family dish I used to have growing up. Anyway, I recommend!

First time here. Nice place. The inside is roomy and there's a nice sized outdoor patio right across the street from Walled Lake. Unobstructed view of the lake while sitting outside. Keno, pull tabs, lotto, scratch offs..many lotto offerings. The food was REALLY good. I got the sliders and my wife got the Frenchie (French Dip). The French Dip was LOADED with shaved beef. It was good quality beef too. Not dry at all. Great toast on the bread and a nice melted Swiss cheese. The au ju was luke warm, but still very flavorful. The sliders. They were more like a mini smash burger. Very thin. Like thinner than a white castle slider. Flat and a little dry. They're served with pickles, your choice of cheese and a sauce resembling French dressing or Catalina dressing. They were flavorful but not as impressive as the other food we saw coming out from the kitchen. Glad I tried the sliders, may not get them again. We also had smoked gouda cheese curds. VERY flavorful and fried to perfection. The service was amazing. Very attentive and super helpful. Eat outside of you can. It's beautiful. All in all, great service, good food and outstanding atmosphere (outside).

This place is awful, save your money!
EDIT: I visited for the hundredth time this past week and experienced an uncomfortable situation. Earlier this year our waitress invited my mother and I to walk across the street and enjoy their private lake access and we absolutely did and continue to do so! The opportunity has enticed me to order sometimes three or more times a week and I put my feet in the water. Ever since the invite we meet and order fries/tots, enjoy the water maybe in a lawn chair and then eat lunch/dinner afterwards in the patio. This Thursday we parked down the street and took our chairs to the water spot and getting ready to pickup some fries when someone who didn't introduce themselves (older gentleman wearing an orange shirt) aggressively asked us to not come back. He was very upset when he approached us. He said parking has been an issue (we mentioned we did not park in the lot), but it didn't matter we were told it's for boat business only. I just want to confirm if the rules have changed since our waitress later that day said it was still okay as far as they knew. The lake access has also given us the opportunity especially when the restaurant is packed to still order and not eat somewhere else. You're the best spot in the area, but that was very uncomfortable!
Clean, beautiful location overlooking Walled Lake - high & low seating options with a spacious outdoor patio! The staff here welcomes you very warmly like you're a regular! I always visit for their soup of the day & impossible burgers and am never disappointed! See you again soon.

Good after work and lunch bar with comfort food. TVs are visible from everywhere, so hanging with your friends during a sporting event would be perfect. The food is quite good, with salads and bar staples. They now have steaks!

Driftwood bar and grill was awesome. I recommend getting there before 5:30 if you want to sit on the patio because it fills up quick but it's worth the wait. So relaxing. Great view food's great for the price, highly recommend.
