Chris and staff, thank you for providing locals with year round delicious eats and great service! We appreciate you!”

“I'm told they've got new owners or at very least new managers and new chefs. regardless of how things may have been, currently they are tremendous at this restaurant. most places have one or two meals that we will like this one has several. the sliders with the beer cheese are delicious as is the fried asparagus and that grease monkey macaroni sandwich. Service was great, beer was cold, and we've been there a couple of times this spring and each time has been a great experience.”

“Im somewhat of a travel bug and a foodie. Iwill drive for a couple hours to try a great meal. This place will become a travel to destination for Michigan. The coney dogs are on a fresh toasted bun with a out of this world coney sauce. The broasted potato wedges are unbelievably delicious. I have had chicken of all kinds, but not like this broasted chicken. OMG It's so juicy and tasty, you will wish you had ordered more. Seriously it's the best chicken in Michigan, maybe the whole wide world. I have no affiliation with this business or the owners. This review is true and reflects my opinion. If you travel to try the food, you won't be disappointed. Cool interior with lots of signed sports memorabilia. Large deck with view of the lake and music park. Now talk about the ice cream parlor. High quality ice cream with many delicious flavors. My favorite is the carrot cake. I like this place so much, I even designed a shirt.”
