Probably better that what I'd get at a diner, but I suspect you could get some at least as good at McDonalds most days.

I'll check it out again and maybe try some of the fancy drinks.

From the friendly staff to the absolutely yummy food -- this place is 5+ stars! Our server was also the owner, and she was so fun to talk to! We had the breakfast Sammy and smashburger and would totally get those two dishes again! For those who like kale, their kale salad and homemade vinaigrette was SO GOOD! We also ordered a macaroon and brown butter cookie to go (P.S. We scarfed down the cookie before our check arrived ). We are looking forward to visiting this place again and again and again!

The mushroom soup was just okay. There was too much pepper in the soup. The hot toddy was a good drink. The elk meatloaf was just okay. The bbq sauce was a little too sweet. The mushroom pasta was not good at all. It was so unbelievably bland. Over $40 for the most bland pasta I've ever had. I am not sold at this point in coming back. Again, the service was amazing! The food was not worth it for the price.

We have been dining at Bennethum's for 15+ years based on all of these. The best upscale, (but not pretentious) option in the Gaylord area. Josh and his family go the extra mile to insure their guests feel welcome and receive great service. On our most recent visit, I had the Perch, a menu staple. Always fresh, lightly dusted and flash fried, nice portion and great flavor. Accompanied with jasmine rice and green beans. My wife had the BNI Blue Wedge Salad, blue cheese dressing , applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, onion, with shrimp added for protein. Shrimp were plump, juicy and flavorful. And a meal is not complete without a loaf of their BNI bread. :) Great cocktails, warm ambiance. Be sure to check them out when in Gaylord area.

Although my husband did get their breakfast steak quesadilla and that was delicious very flavorful. We both got coffees. I tried one of their specialty lattes, which just tasted more like a glorified chocolate milk, and my husband got a cold brew that was very watery. Service was OK. They were extremely busy and the ambiance was also just OK for my liking. It's a cool spot and I'm sure it would be even better if it wasn't so slammed. Their lunch options looked really good. I would definitely go back and try again.

However, the young lady working at the register has the worst attitude on Earth. As someone who has worked many jobs in fast food and customer service, I give a lot of leeway towards this type of thing. But she was unbearable.

The restaurant atmosphere is modern rustic with good music and an excellent staff. It's very clean including the bathrooms.

The cafe was cute; nothing elaborate but clean and interesting. Seating is limited. We ordered decaf mochas and found them to be piping hot, a bit thin tasting and a little too sweet for our tastes.

Fun mural outside and very close to all the action in Houghton Lake. Definitely a stop worth making when in this area.
