    meka c. was an amazing waitress! and there food was fresh, hot and cooked amazingly. the food came right out, not a long wait at all!

    I was a good employee.  I'm only 3 months time I was recognized for it.  the GM.  wrongfully terminated me because of favortism.

    Poor service, poor food quality and extremely poor cleanliness. It won't be surprising when this chain location closes

    We rolled in, ready to take full advantage of the $9.99 Unlimited Appetizers deal... but apparently…read more"unlimited" means unless we're out of stuff. Mozzarella sticks? Gone. Onion rings? Don't even ask. So... 3 out of 5 ain't bad, right? (It is.) Got our apps eventually--without silverware, napkins, or even a "sorry." I guess finger food just means literally use your fingers. Meanwhile, a poor couple sat down near us at 6:15 and were told they couldn't place a food order until 6:50 because the takeout screen was full. What kind of nonsense is that? Dine-in guests told to wait for takeout to clear? Make it make sense. Honestly, the staff looked like they were in survival mode. This location is clearly understaffed, overwhelmed, and about one chicken wing away from total collapse. Corporate needs to step in before this place turns into a ghost kitchen with a full dining room.

    The food here is usually good and the servers are always nice, but the overall experience can be…read morereally frustrating. It almost always takes way too long to get a table, and once you're seated it still takes a long time to get drinks and food. The staff seem friendly and are doing their best, so it feels more like a management issue than anything else. With better organization and management, this place could be a lot better because the food and servers themselves are solid.

    It was a Thursday and I was in town (Live 64 miles from Petoskey) for a Doc appointment and a bit…read moreof shopping. I had done a bit of research the day before .. looking for restaurants in the area. When I noticed that the Side Door had Prime Rib on special, (Wed-Sat) the decision was made. DISCLAIMER: I had eaten at the Side Door a few years ago (Cilantro Lime Shrimp W/Pasta) Me and my neighbor arrived at about 4:45PM, and were greeted with a warm smile and seated immediately ... we were kinda early for the dinner rush so there was plenty of available seating. (NOTE: When we departed about an hour after we arrived, the place was FULL and a line was forming for a table.) We both ordered the 14oz Black Angus Prime Rib (10oz also available). About the same time that we finished the first beer, dinner was served! Simply one of ... if not Thee best, PR that I have had in several years, across 11 states. My neighbor agreed. Both of us now try to plan our Petoskey trips to coincide with dinner at the Door My ONLY complaint is that the horseradish was weak. Actually, it seemed that it had been washed into submission .. totally without any flavor or "bite". The rest of the meal made up for it. (But I *will* bring some nose-incinerating, sinus-creating horseradish from home on the next planned trip.) Service: Superb. We never had to ask for anything. Drinks were refilled with perfect timing. And always smiling. She is an asset to the establishment. Driving Suggestion: Depending on the season and the time of day, if arriving from the North, it can be nearly impossible to make the left turn into the Side Door. Suggestion: Turn Right into the strip mall (KFC, AT&T, etc) and use the traffic light near the gas station to turn left, back onto the highway then a right into the Side Door Saloon for some of the best dining in the Petoskey area. Ample Parking is available. YMMV

    I had really high hopes for this long time establishment, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to…read moreit. First, the ambiance and the service was excellent. We ate in the 'bar' section that had an excellent menu, tons of space, and a great server. It was easy to get refills, have additional drinks, and get the food in the timely manner. The concern is price for quality. The food quality was bad. The taste was nonexistent. The price astronomical. I can't recommend this spot until the price/quality quotient becomes more amicable. If there was even a hint of spice...or quality the rating would be better because of the service and ambiance. However, at the end of the day, this is a restaurant not a bar.

I had the wedge salad, and I was shocked at how good the cherry tomatoes were given that we visited in the dead of winter. We also ordered some bread this time, and it came with a very garlicky pesto, which we enjoyed. We both had items off the special menu, and while I loved my Chilean sea bass, I did not like the rice or the tomato sauce over top. My asparagus was great as well. My BF had the New York strip. It came with scalloped potatoes and asparagus. We topped it off with the brownie sundae we had last time and enjoyed that as much as the previous time as well. While our server was good this time, I wouldn't put her at the top of my list. I felt like we could have been given a bit more attention. So...I imagine we will be back because my BF likes the wine list so much, but I will be getting something different to eat next time. Rounded down from 3.5 stars.
