We have been several times through years and always have had a similarly good visit each time. Usually busy but they’re good handling big groups and even have high-top highchairs. The staff was busy but our dinners have been smooth even with small kids. Thanks! Food is good, menu is better than average and my family really enjoyed the whitefish spread. No NA beer options but they a great NA Bloody Mary. Their liquor and beer options are great! Beers from all over the region with their own uniquely named brewed beers. Great choices for a beer lover. Nice gift shop, pricey, but it appears to have high quality apparel that is cheeky and fun.

Must have been an off-night since all the other reviews were so good. First off the service was outstanding! But, she had to bring out orders later because the kitchen kept burning things. She said she made them take it back because it looked bad. This was evident in our meals - my pot roast was delicious, but crunchy. The wings were very dark and small, but they did give us 16 instead of 12; and the chicken strips were old and greasy- like the oil needed to be changed. The kids pizzas were good and the burger was fine. I think overall it must have just been an off-night food-wise.

Fantastic food! First and foremost the food here is great! I would say it is worth the wait but when we went there was no wait with super fast service. The BBQ brisket tacos are fantastic and I don't like coleslaw really and it is so perfect together! They have a nice offer of beer and cider on top of a full bar.

Continuing on with our tour of Michigan, our next stop was in Mackinaw City where we stayed the night and the next day toured Mackinac Island. While in the area we had dinner at Rusted Spoke Brewing. The parking lot was packed, but this is a pretty big place. We were told it would be a short wait for a table, and by the time we could order a couple of beers at the bar, our table was ready. In addition to serving their own beers, they also serve a variety of other beers with a focus on the Michigan area. I enjoyed the Arbor Buzzsaw from Ann Arbor. For dinner, I went with the pulled pork sandwich which is topped with BBQ sauce and crispy onions. Overall the serving size was small, especially for the $13.50 price tag. I would have appreciated an overflowing amount of pork. The smoky flavor was good though. And their onion rings were great! My wife had the chicken pot pie, which was like nothing I have ever seen before. It wasn't actually a pie at all. The traditional filling occupied the bottom of a bowl and it was topped with a few biscuits. The flavors were actually really good, but it was not at all what was expected. This was not a highlight of our trip but wasn't necessarily bad either. It's suitable for a fairly quick meal with your family.
