The food was delicious. The restaurant is an old house. We had great service. Not a big menu to choose from, but our steak was perfect.

Specials are out, NO white fish and no scallops, shrimp Lenny was dry AF and had a drop of sauce. While pricing has gone up significantly. Service was average. Eva was our server. She did her best with the kitchen and hostess handing her lemons. Had to ask a few times for some things.. Like the scallops and had a return of web to wedge with unripe lettuce. Never got handled. We asked since nothing was gonna be done for it to be taken off the bill. Once seated we were sat at 8 top for 11 people and had to argue with the hostess and threaten to leave and then again ask our server for an additional empty table. It was resolved. Food menu is shrinking and price have gone up 20% over last year. To start we always arrive early and have a drink and pictures on the back patio . The Bartender had no idea how to make a Boulevardier. And didn't even know where to look? The ambience has become a burger and trailer park crowd. We probably won't come back until they bring back menu items, improve quality of food coming out or lower prices or expectations This is NOT the same DLB sadly. I don't normally leave reviews like this unless there are major issues that are NOT resolved at the local level. No attempts were made to correct salad issue until I asked the waitress. Dinner was better but the perfectly cooked stake but room temp and was not salted. I asked for kosher salt and it was brought out promptly. Our visit was on Thursday at 7:15 pm. No excuses for things to be this bad! I haven't been this unimpressed since eating a Mcdonald's hamburger. It's become Culver's with overpriced stakes :( Also this dining experience was on a Thursday night where the place was 3/4 full. Sadly our tradition ends with the DLB. We hoped after the last two years it could have been better. We tried but it wasn't.

Teddy Griffin's is absolutely tremendous. I was absolutely blown away by the place and it was one…read moreof the best dining experiences I've had in some time. First off, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Old school (kind of reminded me of the 70s), good amount of televisions and a lively clientele. Just a very good place to retire to and relax after a day on the golf course or the slopes (Teddy's is right by the Boyne Golf and Ski resort). If you did a quick scan of Teddy's, you would maybe think it was a glorified bar. And you'd be dead wrong. Their food is incredible. My Dad and I each had their North Atlantic Salmon. My dad had his New Orleans Style, with the shrimp and cajun cream sauce on top, andI had mine Pan Grilled with the sun dried tomato pesto sauce. If you factor in every facet of the meal, it may have been the best Salmon dish I've ever had. Both versions were tremendous. Before I get started on the Salmon itself, your choice of side along with a vegetable came with the meal. I got the Potatoes Au Gratin with mine. And I would rank it (conservatively) as a Top 3 Potato Dish that I've had in the last 10 years. I go out to eat quite a bit. Have had a lot of potatoes. Written a lot of reviews. These Potatoes Au Gratin genuinely shocked me with how good they were. They were not complicated (I don't think they even have breadcrumbs) but the cheese flavor on them was just perfect. Like I ate my entire side in about 3 minutes. The only Potato dish I could say comes close to tastiness is Slo's Sweet Potato mash. Incredible side. Now this takes me to the Salmon. The Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Cream sauce is one of the 5 best sauces I've had in the last 10 years. Beyond tasty. I didn't really know if the "pesto" could be incorporated into the sauce heavily (tomato pesto is a pretty rare dish for restaurants to have, much less do well) . I was proven wrong. Sauce had a tremendous pesto flavor and managed to balance the cream and the other ingredients within the sauce perfectly. The only Tomato Pesto I've had that would even be comparable was at Tony's restaurant in Disney World 20 years ago, and I don't even think it's on the menu anymore. An absolutely must try sauce. And they give you tons of it Salmon was perfectly grilled,flaky, moist and had a great, mild flavor to it. You got a nice big piece of it as well. It, along with the sauce, made for one of the best meals I've had in some time. I had some bites of my Dad's Cajun Style and the fish was perfectly blackened while being accompanied by another great sauce. You can't go wrong with the salmon. Our sever Connie was incredible. Drinks were refilled constantly (despite there being a giant crowd at the restaurant) and she was extremely pleasant and informative (it was Connie who steered us towards the amazing Salmon) Absolute 10/10 spot. I'll be back!

The bar is always a great place to meet people and talk IRL, like we used to do. The food is good, dependable and consistent. Service is great. It feels like one of the few places in the area that is fully staffed. Overall, Teddy's is always a good choice.

Wife ordered the tequila lime chicken w/ grilled chicken; which she said was very good w/ ample portions. I chose the wet burrito based on more affordable/realistic price for a meal plus I saw the table behind us had ordered both. Burrito presentation was very pretty, covered and surrounded with long 4-6" strips of green lettuce as well as tortilla chips. Once you separated all that - there was a fairly large Burrito underneath- packed with ~1# of ground beef and seasonings (as proudly noted on menu), but nothing else. It could/should have had onions/chives in there as well, maybe some refried beans inside or as a side, Spanish style rice inside or preferably as a side, more than a trace of melted cheese, certainly some fresh salsa other than diced tomatoes on top or maybe available to put on top? Some of the better ones I've had even had some guacamole on top or the side - certainly ones at this price point. Here they did provid one prepackaged tube of sour cream to apply. Burrito was a good choice, but I've had better based on the above details. Couple next to us had a pizza and it looked outstanding, but probably no better than what's found at most BC Pizza buffets. Future Tip for cook: I would really re-think using those long strips of green lettuce to top it with, as mentioned it looks pretty, but makes it difficult to eat as it's like eating a semi-sloppy burrito w/ green Linguine strips, it's even a worse mess after the lettuce cooks and get's soggy from the heat of the burrito. Side notes/observations. I would say Foggy's is probably one of the better restaurants in/near Munising, keeping in mind there aren't many places to eat real/non-fast food in Munising. They were out of all fresh local fish including Whitefish; which sadly is the norm lately for the fishery. Considering the above normal/above market prices on most of the menu selections (especially very high on beef) - it's a semi-slap in the face to then charge 4% premium for use of a charge card to pay for all of it, really? I would probably give them a 2nd look next time in town.

First disappointment was that the Brussels sprouts weren't on the menu any longer. Bummer, but as a restaurant owner I guess they weren't as popular with others as they were with us.. so we got bruschetta and some potatoes. They were just okay. I got the ribs and wings. Asked for boneless wings but I guess he misunderstood me.. no biggie. I couldn't eat the wings he did bring they were so overcooked. The ribs had too much fat, personal preference so I brought it all home and ended up throwing it away. Sister and niece got pasta. They said it was just okay. Nephew had Mac and cheese with chicken. It sounded delicious but it didn't have much cheese and (maybe he misread?) but didn't expect fried chicken tenders on top. The other two got burgers and again, they were just okay. Overcooked for sure. Another favorite burger is gone too, maybe the Texan? We ordered special martinis for dessert but they were more like a tiny milkshake. Very little if any alcohol. Being a restaurant owner I hate giving a bad review. Maybe we've just been spoiled in the past and the kitchen staff has changed? I don't think we will keep it on our list any more. Too expensive to bring guests and be so disappointed.

And it truly looked like an "up north" restraunt, with the wooden walls, and the white bear near the entrance. This seems lake a place where people know each other and come here frequently; several times, I saw servers greeting customers by name. The complimentary bread they served was delicious. Nobody else in our party wanted the leftovers, so I was the lucky recipient of 3 loaves! I ordered the whitefish on a plank. It was a huge piece of fish served with mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli that was cooked just right; it didn't even need any seasoning. It was big enough that I was satisfied with just half and I took the other half home to enjoy later. We also shared an ice cream sandwich -- coffee ice cream sandwiched between 2 chocolate chip cookies, with some whipped cream on the side. It was good but too sweet.
