“ Had a large group of people on the 5th of July which would have been a problem at any other location but the staff here was great about fitting Us in. Highly recommend the four-piece broasted chicken dinner. It was amazing. ”
“ Our first visit here and it was incredible! So glad we found the spot. Not too far from our cabin in Brethren. We had Reuben soup. Which was delicious. And then my husband and I both had different burgers, and they were so good. Great flavor, everything was fresh, and of course since it's the last week of March we had to have Oberon! ”
“ I had today’s lunch special. It was pot roast, mashed potatoes, gravy with green beans, and a roll. It was outstanding. ”
“ My favorite new place! Bloody Mary's that were actually delicious and not crazy expensive, Busch Light on tap, and real wood-fired pizza (the Hawaiian was phenomenal!)! What more could a girl ask for on a lazy Sunday afternoon!? ”

“ Great local venue in Bear Lake, Michigan between Benzonia/Frankfort area, and Manistee. Not very busy for a Saturday night. Still a good crowd, of families and couples. Bar area was full. Friday fish fry. Next to the gas station/deli. Great service from our bar tender Mel, and good conversation. Kept our drinks up. Nice atmosphere!!! Will definitely go there again. ”

“ The food was fabulous. You have to try the duck tenders. Unbelievably good. Had the equator burger cooked medium. Had cream cheese and bbq sauce. I loved it. My wife had the French dip and said it was awesome. We split a bowl of chili and it was good also. Would definitely return. You won't be disappointed. ”
