Great spot! They let me connect to wireless and do work there for a few hours. Pulled pork was great and friendly staff .

Jan Wu

You should share Chicken&ribs with your friends, although they will charge your two more dollars to do split plate. This is a 6oz ribs and I think a 6oz chicken below it. I left 2/3. Shame!

Regina Hoskins

Rotisserie chicken was delicious! Waitress was amazingly sweet! Very loud place but it is a wonderful place

Josh Zehner

Best chicken strips and honey mustard I have ever had. Waitress was super friendly and helpful.

Sam Higgins

Excellent place for lunch or dinner . Excellent waitstaff . Nice atmosphere with TVs to watch sports games .

Denise Uhl

Very neat place, food is delicious! We Weill definitely be back!

Tracy Melotte

Enjoyed the manager telling my wife to go f herself after we complained about an incorrect and Incomplete meal that included leather dry ribs

Beverlie Roberts

Pull pork sandwich is a must when come here. My husband comes for the Bison burger every time.

Megan Hendrick

I'm confused by their clientele...it's entertaining, though. I'd venture that it's more amusing to people watch here than at a college bar right after finals.

Bitch_3v07

Amazing food! I've been here many times the burgers are amazing! !

ᴡ L

Be sure to bring plenty of money... drain your life savings just for a plain burger . ????

Richard Gilliam

Chicken sandwich and chicken strips were delicious.

Murphy Boisvenue

A lot of things people complain about here is just how it is up here in Mackinaw. Slow down, be polite, and be patie.

Recommend the blackened whitefish platter, fresh and very good!

Dracose

3 outta 4 steaks overlooked!! Actually 4 outta 4 but he was hungry. So far not so impressed. Waiter handled it great though. Just didn't agree with the construction going on over our heads

Linda Hill

The perch dinner is excellent.

Richard Gilliam

Fried perch is excellent!!!

Joe Jarvis

6 of us sat upstairs next to the bar under the TV and I think our fruit fly kill tally was about 25. ????

Steve S

Food was good, place is pretty busy. Island burger and chicken wrap were excellent.

Michael Van Hamme

Great food, and they have PBR !

Justin Nichols

Bring your thermal blankets. This place is freezing!

Kieran Stout

Price was ridiculous for the quality of Zthe food served If you want a steak medium might as well as for it to but just browned on outside Waiter did not seem to even care about it just brushed it off

Jessica Brassard

Sweet onion salad was very tasty.

Tracy Melotte

Nothing unless you like over two hour wait The wrong food, incomplete food, and ribs so dry it was like chewing leather No social distancing Then complain and have manager tell my wife go F herself

Bob

Get the Fish basket!

marty worth

Sat next to restroom wall and our table vibrated when anyone used the hand dryer. Food was so so. Service was good. No soap in either restroom....wonder how the servers kept their hands clean !!!!

Michael Anthony

Food is blah, service is blah, atmosphere gets a 5 out of 10. I recommend anywhere else but here. Try "BAR " across the street.

Eric Stoike

Meh. Seems like it has good potential but everything is just mediocre besides location/building. Burger was good (overpriced) but chicken strip/fries were blah (and way overpriced).

Karen Gurney

Have the fish and chips .so good

VAMPIRE

Cheese curd

Jessica Brassard

Carving names was lots of fun!

Missy Schmalz

Women's restroom is in dire need of new fixtures and a cleaning .

Dangerous Lee

Great building. Food was boring.

Dirk Ubbink

BBQ Pulled Pork

Brenda McLean

The reuben is delicious!

Jeff Fleming

Worst place I have eaten at in ages. Overpriced, cold food and poorly trained staff . No one could even tell me what beers they had on tap . Go elsewhere...

Jessica Robinson

Carve your name in the booths or sit on a saddle bar stool!

Bob Pfeffer

Very long wait but seems like a nice place

Shawna Furgala

Food was over priced. Expected more out of chicken strips , I make better ones at home out of a bag. Great place to drink at but recommend somewhere else to eat.

Kathy E

Unfortunately all the tips are correct. The only positive was out server Michael. The place is a nasty tip off

John Beckwith

Next coolest bar next to the keyhole

Eric French

Chili is really good.

Dan Sherman

Rersist the urge to carve your name in the tables. Eternity will thank you

Joshua Lohman

Mediocre food, seems to be the go to spot after 9pm. Typical sports bar .

David Antior

Cheboygan Lighthouse Amber!

Lorri Lieberman

Half chicken was tasty but the side potato and veggies were cold. Not impressed

Jennifer S

Terrible cook staff that doesn't know the difference between rare and well done. Managers suck and wait staff is inattentive.

Mike Higgs

Fried perch is great.

Kathryne Leonard

Did not care for the service.

South Bend Media

Spinach artichoke dip was good, but not the tortillas . They were over cooked.
