The planked whitefish is amazing! It was fresh, no bones and very hot! The duchess potatoes are very good too. Went later in the evening, there were a few tables in the bar area eating. read more

Cold Creek Inn Restaurant - Planked whitefish and duchess potatoes - American Near Me - Beulah, Michigan

A must when at Crystal lake!! Perch is amazing and worth the high price. Great beer selection too

I would give 10 stars if allowed! Service, food excellent. This is a fabulous place to eat. Fast service. Attentive, just very nice people. We had the prime rib sandwich and perch dinners. Absolutely delicious. If you don't eat here you're missing out on an awesome dinner & drinks. Best of luck for continued success to Cold Creek Inn. read more

We had a great experience and meal here! Bart is a great server who paid us a lot of attention. We brought our toddlers and they were quick to bring their food. The perch and whitefish were really good. We'll be coming back here again! read more

Visiting from Chicago & found the perfect place for wonderful, homemade food in Beulah! We started with the steak bites & for our main course I had the perch (loved the duchess potatoes) and my husband had the lasagna. Fair prices, great service & delicious hot, fresh food. Thanks to Paul and Ed for the wonderful service...we will be back! read more

My food, the prime rib dinner, was delicious as was one of the other guests, the vegetarian burrito, asked for as an off the menu item. The other 2 guests weren't as happy with there 2 different fish dinners. The food was slow to come, but hot when it got there and the waiter was right on with service. We were towards the end of the rush, so I understood the wait time. I would eat there again. read more

Excellent service, Delicious food. Hi Zee!!! While visiting beautiful Beulah. Keep your BACK TO THE WATER to enjoy delicious food, great atmosphere, and Beulah hospitality. read more

This place is very welcoming. The chef knows what he's doing and the food reflects this. If you want big city presentations in a smaller intimate setting this is the place. (Think Duchess Potatoes around broiled Whitefish on a plank). The staff as well as owner are friendly and very accommodating. They even went out of their way to fix my favorite drink. When I received my drink a guest asked what it was and said she hadn't seen that "Grasshopper" drink in years. And it was delicious. read more

This food slays according to my daughter the white fish I sooo recommend!!!!! The service is amazing too

Had an excellent time here. Warm greeting from the bartender and everyone in the bar. Great hamburger, awesome mashed potatoes, and good beer selection. It's off-season right now, and so glad to be here. We will be back again! read more

I came here on a Monday for lunch, the waiter was very friendly and the food was good. I ordered the french onion soup which was pretty good. The price is a bit high (for one BLT, french onion soup, and key lime cheesecake slice it cost $40). The outdoor patio was very nice and shaded. Overall, the restaurant was nice, just a bit overpriced, especially for the fact that I only got water to drink. read more

Doesn't look like much from the outside but this is the best food I've eaten in a while! The chef appears to be professionally trained and he even walked out to the table to see how we liked our food. The waiter recommended the chicken Cajun pasta with shrimp and the perch dinner. The perch dinner came with duchess potatoes that were phenomenal! Food was a little pricey but definitely worth it read more

Nothing fancy, but definitely tasty. A tad overpriced for the amount you get. However these ribs were meaty, flavorful, and moist. The meat came off the bone beautifully. There wasn't "too little" sauce either. The coleslaw wasn't anything wow at (kind of bland). Fries come standard. Called in for takeout and the staff person was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. An early midweek takeout order, ready in less than 15 minutes. The key lime pie was so good. The crust was different (like a buttery graham cracker-breadcrumb type crust) and the key lime cut the sugar of the crust. Nice creamy, gently-lime flavored. Definitely save room for a slice! read more

Absolutely amazing experience. We tried a few other restaurants to close out our vacation and they were either 1+ hour waits or closed. Cold Creek got us seated immediately. We were there with our 10mo and 7yo kids, and the staff were amazing. Constantly stopping by to chat, and even coming out to juggle and entertain when they saw our baby getting a little antsy. Food was SPECTACULAR. My wife enjoyed a delicious half-rack of ribs and I ordered an enormous vegetarian burrito (it's not easy to find good vegetarian options in this town) but this burrito was stuffed full of carrots, broccoli, rice and more. Best burrito I've had in 3+ years of being vegetarian and it's not close. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This is the 2nd time we've eaten here on our 2nd trip to Beulah. The sweet potatoes fries were delicious with this spicy and sweet boom sauce. I ordered the pizza, thin crust (they can make thick too since they make their own dough) with pepperoni and mushroom. It was pretty good and even better cold (had leftovers). My husband got the French dip sandwich. It was more of a steak sandwich than sliced beef. We sat in the bar area, and the service was good. If I could give it 3.5 stars, I would...and maybe we'd try the dining area if we dined again on another visit. We would definitely order pizza again. read more

Great food and good service. Went for lunch and all six had different items. What a great find.

Fun place - good food , reasonable prices. The folks here are very friendly . We always sit in the bar area when we go -

Beware of the billing. If you ask for a better side for an upcharge, they will charge you FULL price for the item, without warning. Grilled cheese with tomato was $15 (!) and we asked to upcharge the side to sweet potato fries. $8.99 for sweet potato fries. My perch sandwich was $17.99 with no side. I asked for a house salad for an upcharge, and it was an extra $6.99. Will not be back. We've been eating there for years. $79 for lunch. Ridiculous. read more

We stayed in Beulah while visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes and stumbled upon this place as a late night dinner option. The website and menu looked alright but the food told a very different story. I ordered a burger & fries and my wife ordered the prime rib. Both were inedible. The steak was grey and tasted fowl. The burger also tasted funky. Avoid at all costs. read more

It was closing time...randomly and unknownly I met the owners. They seemed friendly, open and proud of their restaurant. Jokingly but on a serious note after conversation they allowed me to inspect their kitchen. Admittedly a little buzzed but an experienced bartender and food setvice guru in a past life i can attest to the fact that these guys are in it for the right reasons. I literally got on my hands and knees and looked under their kitchen equipment and studied what they had going on behind the bar. 5 star! These guys give a shit. My family has owned property locally for over 100 years (allegedly lol) and after extreme consideration pronounce, from this day forward...until further notice the Cold Creek be known as the locals choice for quality, clean food. They really seem to give a shit! Enjoy. Stray Turtle read more

Excellent perch on Fridays- staff was friendly. Prices are on the higher end but not unfair. They are closed Wednesdays which was inconvenient- otherwise good! read more

We stopped in on a Saturday evening for supper. My husband ordered the perch dinner, I had the French onion soup and burger, my stepson had the lasagna. Everything was good, the French onion soup and lasagna were the stand outs. The bar side is kinda small and noisy with the TVs. If you want a quieter spot, then sit untie "restaurant" side. The bartender was nice, attentive and friendly. We didn't take any photos because we were hungry! read more

Cold Creek Inn Restaurant had decent food. I had the pulled pork nachos--no complaints there. The s/o had the perch dinner with twice or triple(?) baked potatoes. Now those were phenomenal. He also said the fish was good, too. The host was not wearing his mask over his nose, and he seemed frustrated that we preferred to wait to eat outside when the inside was empty, which I get, but it's a pandemic and we only feel comfortable eating outside. The table was wiped down, but we were given regular menus in the normal plastic sleeves. And the table behind me was in no way, shape, or form six feet from me. It was two at most. I could've turned around and touched the person's shoulder behind me. I'd like to see better precautions taken. All-in-all, not too bad for a small town dinner. read more

Many of the restaurants on Benzie Blvd offer the same fare, so it becomes a matter of seating and environment. We chose outdoor seating at the Cold Creek Inn restaurant because it looked inviting and had umbrellas to shade us from the evening sun. Service was quick through delivery of our meal. We were puzzled by all the sour cream and cheese in the whitefish pate, but it seems that is common in this part of Michigan. I had a delicious (local) lamb burger, which is worth returning for. Companion had hamburger which was okay, and onion rings which were too heavy and greasy for our liking. Server was friendly and helpful. read more

Went there for dinner on Monday , I highly recommend this place ! I had the perch dinner with duchess potatoes both were great . My husband loves chicken strips but usually can't eat them because a lot of places use the same fryer for Fish and chicken (allergic to fish) they don't ! He said they were crispy and juicy. Will definitely be back! read more

Great service. Hence three stars. Everyone was attentive and friendly! However... The food was not great. My husband's fish was raw in the middle and my chicken was rubber. Not sure we will be back. read more

Their perch is perfection! Lightly dusted with flour, so flaky and delicious! Get the Duchess potatoes! Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is they are a bit pricy. read more

We had an excellent time here with our 16 month old while we were visiting for the Empire Hill Climb. Our server Jake was so pleasant, knowledgeable of the beers, and so proud to tell us he and his wife are expecting. My husband had the prime rib sandwich and it was incredible, so well seasoned and perfect temperature. I had the perch and it was also excellent. Lightly breaded and fried, really delightful. They made a grilled cheese and French fries for my antsy boy in about two minutes. We also took home some excellent homemade cheesecake. A lady I believe who is management came over and spoke to our son, it was very sweet. Excellent food, service, atmosphere, beer selection, it was a great experience. We wish you and your wife all the luck and happiness in the world, Jake! read more

Shannon, jasmine, Lucas and Peggy are fabulous! The shrimp was fantastic and not fishy

We were so excited when we found this place on a busy Friday night. The food was scrumptious, and the service was prompt and pleasant. Be sure to try the white fish on a plank with duchess potatoes! I've been thinking of our experience ever since and can't wait to come back. read more

Had a great early dinner / late lunch here. The ambiance is somewhere between a sports bar and a ski lodge. My husband got the "award winning fried perch" (fish and chips) and liked it. I got the French dip. Let me say I am a sucker for French dips and this one did no disappoint. The beef was tender and delicious and the au jus was au-mazing. I told my husband we would split our entrees but I did not split the dip and I don't regret it. read more

Great pizza and great place to watch sports. Great selection of beer, too. Really friendly owners and our friends said their baked fish was the best and the mashed potatoes are outstanding. We're vegitarins, so I can't vouch for that personally. But our friends DO have great taste in food, so I believe them. read more

There this Monday, food portions were large, but beer prices were very high and not on the menu. Food prices overall were high. There was also a extra charge for using a credit card that was not stated up front. Liked the food we got but look out for the overpriced beer and the extra charges. Service was excellent. read more

Cold Creek is a cozy spot. Perhaps you're sitting outside sipping a cold one or dining inside on delicious pizza or perch you will be treated well. It's our "go to" spot. Favorite pizza around! read more

We had our first dinner here last night and we will be back! The perch was delicately battered and crisp! It was served on a hot maple plank which kept it nicely warm throughout dinner. The whitefish was equally good. We've been looking for a high quality fish dinner in this area and this is it! read more
