All of the food was fantastic- you won't be disappointed but here are my tips: Make a REZ! You'll need a rez unless you're taking your chances on the bar seating (small inside bar seating- more outside but weather dependent) We booked a high top for two and sat outside looking at the water (request that!) Ask for the vegetarian menu when they seat you, even if you aren't strictly a vegetarian bcuz you'll have more options- I was about to cobble together a meal (I'm veg) from the shared plates/apps of vegetables when my husband asked if they had vegetarian meals- those are offered in the dessert menu for some reason and not offered upon seating- so happy he asked bcuz the ramp pasta was AMAZING I would've been so disappointed when the dessert menu arrived afterwards to learn I could've had a large plate Cocktails were great- Purple Rain is all you need! If carrots and zucchini apps are offered, get them both and a focaccia and you'll have extra bread spread for the veggies too Most ppl seemed to be ordering the bison burger but my husband went for the steak- they do not ask you how you want it cooked but present it cooked to perfection so trust them All desserts looked good- we split the butterscotch budino, which was awesome but very overwhelmed by the heavy toffee topping, which was delicious as well- like two desserts in one Brook, our server, is absolutely the cutest & friendliest & makes you want to come back!

Our server, Kayden, was a friendly local college student, and provided attentive service, A bottle of grand Traverse rosé, wild mushroom Rangoon's, gumbo and green curry whitefish, rounded out with a butterscotch Budino and an espresso martini made for sweet dreams. Would recommend and return.

It's picturesque whether you are lakeside or inland. We ate today at The Northwoods Restaurant. The vibe was pure Michigan with knotty pine interior, a huge bar, and flags for almost all of Michigan's colleges. (What happened to Northern MI Univ?) The service was fast and friendly. The food was terrific pub grub. We all ate a different burger, all good and cooked to order- medium rare. I had to taste test the Olive Burger, rarely found outside Michigan. It was tasty as were the spicy fried dill pickles. We'll be back!

I LOVE that the food is prepared right there as you wait, (so be patient) they are not using "pre-fab" junk. The meats are farm-raised organic. It was a great way to start the day, and we will definitely be back.

At bartender Chris's suggestion I had a variation on a White Russian. It was the perfect after dinner drink. Chris also was friendly and chatty, kept water glasses full that I also appreciated. Setting very nice right on the water and quite low key as it's the off season. There was one loud female patron who had a potty mouth but you'll have that on your travels. Menu for food looked good but we had eaten earlier on our roadtrip.

It took a bit of effort to get ahold of them, as the number on their website wasn't the same one we ended up calling. When we finally reached them, the worker asked us to call back after a minute or so due to the high volume of calls. We called back, placed our order, and were told to expect a 45-minute wait. However, our food arrived early! I had the Pasta alla Vodka with seared chicken, and my husband enjoyed the Mighty Mac burger, both were delicious and had generous servings. We'll definitely be back to dine in next time!

In my opinion it felt like it was one step away from closing. I did not feel the same positivity in the restaurant, it just felt flat. I got the rancher skillet which had 4 eggs which I got over easy. The sausage gravy was runny and the eggs were pretty runny which made for an unappealing dish. Not sure if I would give this place another shot, but prices were reasonable. Hopefully they find help and get back some positive momentum.

They are now out of Snicker's cheesecake or baked potatoes now. Ok. No appetizers on their menu. Huh. Ordered ahead an Oreo cheesecake and a 4 berry pie, since they seem to be runny out of stuff quickly. Ordered turkey Reuben melt with upgraded onion ring side, special crab stuffed whitefish, blackened. They are out of whitefish. Ended up ordering two turkey Reubens, since nothing else appealed to me. The other side is salad for my sandwich. Added one scoop of the stuffing to check it out, since it looks decent. No gravy. $58.77 They must have run out of the crab stuffed whitefish after we were seated, since it wasn't taken off of the special board while we were in line. Pay at the front. They refuse Amex cards. Not good. Good thing I had an extra card. The side salad is a mix of iceberg and mixed green. The Italian dressing is quite orange. Side salad is not special, but it gives a small balance to the heavy food to come. The rye bread is really good, can really taste the bread, nice crunch to it. The turkey meat is oven roasted dinner turkey slices, not the deli stuff. It's a good turkey Rueben. The hand dipped onion rings are good, nice and crispy. Some excess batter that neither of us wanted on our rings and picked off the excess fried batter from the rings. The stuffing is pretty good, a tad too salty, but still good. The kind I like for sure. The Oreo cheesecake wasn't too bad. The 4 berry pie was good, the berry filling was really good on its own. Decent food and really good service. I feel absolutely blah after every meal while in the UP. Tonight is no different.

They wouldn't let me use my Amex card. So I can't use my card of choice and they still charged me 3%z The crab cakes are crispy and quite tasty. They aren't big, but enough for a starter. My husband didn't want the Caesar he ordered and so I ended up eating the Caesar and he ate the wedge salad. The blue cheese dressing and the Caesar dressing are both good. Both salads have tomatoes and carrots. The onion rings are so-so, not so warm. Not super crunchy. The sweet potato fries are thin, but good. The whitefish Parmesan encrusted is decent, just keep an eye out for small bones and some skin left on the filet. The Parmesan encrusted seasoning is good. I let the staff know about the bones in the fish. They told us the fish come pre-boned, but they missed it. No kidding. The bison burger was good.
