    Amazing pizza and even better service! Loaded up on toppings with the Meat Galore. They were very busy and the pizza only took about 10 minutes to come out of the oven!

    Cheese

    We got take out and pizza's were made quick and were super hot! It smelled so good inside but only got take out since we had our pups with us.

    I was driving through Elk Rapids on a Sunday afternoon and this was the only restaurant open. There was a line to order food and it moved pretty slow. While I was waiting I noticed that they had a bunch of articles on the wall from local publications about how good their pizza is. This set my expectations fairly high. They have pizza by the slice so I got a slice of pepperoni and a slice of 7 cheese. The pepperoni was your standard pepperoni pizza, nothing special about it. The 7 cheese was good and they definitely don't skimp on loading the cheese on. The crust on both pizza was thick but kind of bland. I was left wishing I had something to dip the crust in. Overall it was a good local pizza place. But I won't be dreaming about the pizza I had or going out of my way to go back.

    Such a unique whole wheat crust! Love the 7 cheese. GET THE CANOLLI! You won't regret it.

    Chef Charles himself passed away in late 2021, so his restaurant has been closed since October and it is for sale.

It was pretty undrinkable and the bartender wasn't the nicest. Not sure if it's an off night, but I would be hesitant to try it again.

    The Short's Brewing Company Pull Barn is a cool concept and great for summer months. They added a…read morebunch of outdoor seating to their production facility to make it a second Short's destination. We stopped by with some friends while staying in the area and had a nice time. It was pretty busy but we were able to snag a picnic table outside. They also have some limited indoor seating as well as a huge lawn where you can picnic or bring camp chairs. The space is definitely kid-friendly and they even have a sandbox. Dogs are allowed outside as well. The beer list is pretty extensive and it was fun to try some new things like a ginger-lemongrass cider and their passionfruit canned rose wine, which was so good I bought some to take home. They don't have their own kitchen, but there were two food trucks on site and their website says you can order takeout from a nearby restaurant too. They had a musician playing the night we were there and the vibes were chill and relaxed, which I liked. I'd definitely come back in the future if I'm up this way again!
