“The avocado toast is the best anywhere. The California roll actually is real crab, so delicious! Great service and delicious food!“

“What a lovely venue to have your wedding in. The Rose Veranda doesn't disappoint. It is lovely and the staff and Jill Harrell are amazing.“

“Really great place for a relaxed evening with friends. The staff was incredibly accommodating, as always, and they couldn't be more friendly. The Pour crew will always do their best to make sure everyone is having their best time and I look forward to visiting after the rebrand!“

“Amazing food, drinks, views & staff. The shrimp scampi linguini paired with a delicious Pure Michigan bourbon cocktail was fantastic but the bolognese keeps my wife coming back again & again. Highly recommend for a one of a kind dining experience.“

“OMG the grilled ham and Brie with cranberry is UNBELIEVABLE!!! Today’s special, the “Fresh & Cool” (turkey, grapes, & dill salad) was delicious and just the right size serving. Shout out to Caitlin for graciously gifting us a homemade sweet treat!“

“The pup cups were a hit! We’ve created monsters now!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Great experience here the Thursday & Friday before Labor Day. Very friendly and helpful staff. In the heart of Bayview with wonderful historic homes that are beautifully maintained. If you like “new & shiny” this isn’t your place, but if you love history and historic architecture, walking tours, etc this is the place. A little over a mile walk to downtown Petoskey and lots of interesting walks within the Bayview community. Great restaurant with outstanding food! I must say I missed the restaurant being open for breakfast like it was years ago, as I prefer a hot breakfast with eggs to a continental breakfast, but the continental breakfast did have a wide selection of pastries and included cold peeled hard boiled eggs, some other savory choices, juice, tea & coffee. The dinner & dessert choices at the restaurant were all absolutely outstanding!!! I had a difficult time choosing each night and the service was great as well.“

“I had the pecan and coconut pancakes with their homemade syrup and bacon which were excellent! The wait staff was amazing. It was my first Bistro experience since they moved from downtown Petoskey.“

“Joe and crew made us feel welcomed. drinks were quickly served as we waited for a table, then decided to stay at the bar. between 630 and 7, there was 20 minute wait for a table. it took probably 20 minutes to get appetizers, but the rings and skins were worth the wait! we didn't feel rushed and enjoyed the food and chat with fellow bar guests. shout out to all for blessing me with hot banana peppers for my corona!!!!!! the cod and fries special was on point!!! worth mentioning, the hot sauce selection!! thanks Southwoods for a great meal!!“

“The food here is always spot on. Can’t miss the crab soup! The bourbon selection is the best in the area.“

“very good portions and very delicious food waitress was amazing! Sonia you rock thanks so much“

“Our first experience was 7/11 and we lost our diaper bag we searched all over and day for it unfortunately we had to return back home which was south Michigan and they found it and was so kind to mail it back to us! I can’t wait to come back again and visit this establishment again. ☺️“

“Outstanding dinner, Wagyu Hanger Steak was amazing. We tried the Wild Mushroom Flatbread which we highly recommend as well as the Wedge Salad. Great atmosphere and Magic Nate and Phil were attentive and exceptional in their delivery. Nice work!“

“I was very pleasantly surprised and impressed with this Applebee’s. It was much more than I expected in many ways. The restaurant was clean, not just the bare minimum kind of clean, it was a ‘we actually care about this place’ kind of clean. Our server was on her A game, professional, thoughtful, friendly and she anticipated rather than waiting to be flagged down. The food was delicious as well as affordable. I never really took notice of the atmosphere in other Applebee’s but I did at this one. It was very relaxing and calm. No one was shouting from the kitchen, the servers weren’t yelling about their dishes, no loud bangs and thuds from cleaning either. I didn’t realize how much I actually appreciated that.“

“We stopped there Oct. 24 at around 7pm for dinner just as they were closing for shortage of help but they served us anyways. Our server was Warren and the cook staff stayed to make sure everything was good. He had already worked a 12 hr. shift and was very friendly. we really appreciated it. thanks warren.“

“Awesome everything here at BWW Petoskey! Dori, the bartender has been beyond Amazing, every time I've been at BWW Petoskey! 💙💜💙💜✌🏼😎🍻“

“The view is worth the price of admission. I was here 4 years ago and enjoyed the beer and pizza, however things have changed. The menu is limited and mostly it's self order and pickup. The beer and drinks are great, the staff are friendly but the food is marginal at best, simply put, Gordon foods bulk supply served to order.
Come for the beer ,the view and the staff, consider food elsewhere“
