Since my last review of this place it has completely turned itself around in so many great ways…read more The review I posted last may have been because of an isolated incident. The patrons and staff have since then been overly patient, kind, helpful, honest, caring and mostly welcoming in nature. The thing is, with experience that is, it is that your certain experiences of whatever you may have ever gone through or had fun with or whatever may have stressed you out at some time or another, is incomparable to the fact that sometimes, someone may just have a bad day. I otherwise have seen the truth of the patron established best bar in Alpena Michigan, and it leads to a bountiful night of fun. They have pool, or what yall like me, the nerds, call billiards, they got darts and I dare you to count how many pennies are in the floor. The drinks are spot on, the staff is usually quite responsive and the patrons tend to like to have fun more than other locations that are similar or like Barilik's... Although, This place is my #2 spot that I've ever been to for this type of atmosphere. Right behind it is JJ's and behind them are Bogarts. On another note, There are notable places to be a patron of outside of the area, such as several locations throughout the United states, let alone the rest of the world.

We worried that we might be under dressed, casually in jeans and tanks. Yelp said this place was great. It was. We dined with 3 kids who all jammed out on the kids meals, spaghetti with homemade noodles, hand breaded chicken tenders and pizza that was SO good. Adults had salmon x2, scallop risotto, eggplant Parm and the almond crusted halibut. Everything was amazing, we were passing forks around like covid never happened. The clam chowder, Devine. I am so impressed. First time in , likely won't be in the area without stopping back. Our service was PHENOMENAL and our waitress knew the menu, made great recommendations and was amazing. Cheers Rochelle! We love you!

We've been wanting to try this place for some time but they are often full. We got early…read morereservations (parties of 6 or more only) and arrived on time to our table all ready. There are two sides - the bar side and a side with lots of seating. The bar side has seating as well but minimal. We sat on the side with all the seating at a long high top. The chairs had backs so it was very comfortable. They have lots of choices on the menu - I chose the Lemon Herb Ravioli, which sounded light and amazing. Unfortunately, it is swimming in a lemon-y olive oil which ruins the dish completely. If they just drizzled the lemon oil over the pasta, it would be a chef's kiss. I would recommend asking for that on the side - then you can control how much you want on the dish. I also got their "tots" on the side. These aren't your typical tator tots...they are homemade shredded potatoes scooped and fried. My cousin got the same items and when the tots came, it appeared they overly fried one of the orders so just split them up between our two orders. I ate the good ones and my husband sent back the bad ones to have them replaced. They did so without any question, which was nice. My husband had the Gouda Burger with Truffle Fries. He said it was the best burger he'd ever had. The truffle fries were excellent - served with garlic aioli. Highly recommend! So, while my dish was disappointing due to the amount of oil it was swimming in, the pasta and vegees on top tasted good, the staff were friendly and accommodating, and everyone else liked their meals (burgers and fish & chips) so I'm not going to give them a low rating. I'd like to come back and try something different on the menu.
