Is it a steakhouse or an old bar? It's difficult to tell when they serve prime rib and have…read moresteakhouse prices but everyone looks like they just mowed their lawn and came here or are bar regulars. Regardless, it leaves much to be desired. Tables are extremely close and you are sure to hear others and be heard whether you want to or not. The appetizers are overpriced bar food and not impressive. The prime rib is dry and overcooked. However, the healthy wine pours do make for it. Had I not had 2 (full) glasses, I might not have been the best tipper or left 2 stars. Never coming back here though.

We arrived on July 3rd about 9:15 am. We were promptly seated in a booth. The place was pretty…read moreempty, with only 3-4 booths occupied. It appeared to be a sports bar and restaurant from how it was decorated and the TV sets playing Tennis. Our server seated us, quickly took our drink order and got our breakfast menus. I ordered the Two Egg breakfast (eggs over easy, Sourdough toast) and my wife got the Big Breakfast, (eggs medium) which she wanted for the pancakes. The meals took a while even though the place wasn't busy. We soon found out the eggs had been switched. Her's were easy over and mine were medium. So we switched the eggs. My easy over eggs were not fully cooked before they were flipped. My wife's medium eggs were cooked perfectly. However neither egg dish was salted or peppered while being cooked. The pancakes were perfect however. Light, fluffy, and delicious!' She shares one with me and I agreed, delicious, light and fluffy. Her hash browns were not cooked except on the surface. Mine were cooked nicely. However again the hash browns were not salted or peppered during cooking as far as I could tell. All and all the food was good for a breakfast place and the serving sizes were adequate for what we ordered.

We e been going to Dinghy's for decades. The food was always solid and service was good. The place…read morewas always packed regardless of what time of year we were there. Unfortunately it's under new ownership now and they've ruined the place. The lighting is now harsh, the food quality just isn't there anymore and the service is rushed. Oh, and the place was empty on a Saturday night! We will no longer be patronizing Dinghy's. There are too many other places that are better.

We didn't end up getting an outdoor table, but we were pleasantly surprised when they seated us almost immediately. Our server was fantastic and very attentive throughout the meal. We had read a few reviews mentioning slow service, but that definitely wasn't our experience. We were 100% satisfied with the service we received. The food was delicious, and there were a lot of great options on the menu. Prices were what you'd expect for this type of restaurant, and we thought everything was well worth it. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the whole place had a great vibe. We were really impressed with Oaky's Tavern and would definitely recommend it to anyone in the Interlochen area. Great food, great service, and a really enjoyable place to grab a meal.

We dined in with a large party. Unfortunately they refuse to take reservations. We were told they…read morelose money that way. That makes no sense, but that's their policy. I arrived 60 mins before the rest of our large party was to arrive to put our name down. It was a 45 min wait. It was a Thursday evening and this place was hopping. Tons of people coming in and putting their name down to get a table. I'd definitely arrive well ahead of the time you want to actually eat to accommodate this. The parking lot is tricky as well as there were barely any spots and many would drive in and not find a spot and then drive out. Once we were seated, we had great service. Our food came out quickly and correctly. There was a live band outside playing so that was nice

We were looking for a bar closer to our Airbnb and we saw that Thistle was still open…read more I was still in ski gear and everyone else was dressed very cute in my group. The restaurant itself is a white tablecloth type restaurant and the menu has something for everyone. Our waitress was absolutely amazing and her energy was exactly what we were needing. I ordered an espresso martini and she asked it I wanted it creamy or regular, which means they know how to properly make an espresso martini. My friends ordered some small plates and I ordered the seabass as I was hungry from all the skiing I had just done. The place was decorated beautifully and the service was amazing. The flavors hit every flavor I was looking for and I left full and happy!

Price isn't inexpensive and portion size was kind of small for these kind of restaurants. I had coconut shrimp and my daughter had pulled pork with Mac and cheese.

Pretty typical of better-quality northern michigan pubs...wood paneling, lots of fishing memorabilia. We're on the doorstep of Tippy Dam, after all. Pretty busy when I stopped in at dinnertime on a Wednesday. I passed on the bar-b-q specials and got a chicken Ceasar. Not bad, but lettuce was a little sparse. Chicken was tender if a little bland. I probably will return and try some other things. Certainly nothing wrong with Trak's as a place to hang out and have a beer.

Sleder's was a natural for me because I am a hunter. The place has lots animal mounts on the wall including a moose named RANDOLPH , that you are supposed to kiss for good luck. It's a very old bar and there's definitely a lot of character there. The service was outstanding and I truly loved reading the menu. I ordered a buffalo burger and my wife had a chicken sandwich. She had a margarita and I had a local draft beer. The food came out rather quickly and the buffalo burger was wonderful. She said the chicken sandwich was delicious. Also, I just didn't get to taste it cause she ate it all. The place is not on the beaten path. It's a little out of the way, but it's worth finding. I recommend this to anybody that goes to town. Enjoy all.

Very tender and the cherry bbq sauce is excellent. While not in my top 10 of ribs, I would get them again. the salad that came with it was fresh and tasty. The fries were sadly subpar and undercooked. I also just realized I didn't get a dinner roll that was supposed to come with it. The service was a little slow, but very friendly. Overall a 4 star review. Would I return? Yes I would a fun atmosphere and good food.
