My favorite so far is the prime rib hash. We live local. This is our new favorite place!!!

Our visit to the Back Lot was horrible! The bar service was disastrous! The 2 drinks we were able…read moreto order were made incorrect. One was a Gypsy vodka and cranberry juice, don't know what the tender put in it, but it was not cranberry juice. Asked for a replacement, was told he didn't make the drink, he was the only tender there! The second drink he made was a mule, it took him 15 minutes to make it, then couldn't figure out how to charge the credit card. Our party of 9 then left. The tender told us it was his second night, shame on the owners for leaving someone so incapable running their business. Not only did this poor choice loose business for the Back Lot Bar, but for West Coast sliders, we were all going to get good there. Only gave one star because it wouldn't let me give none. The good I did get at West Coast was 5 stars!

Great food, great beer, great music and great service. It was all around a great experience.read more

Should I do another review? Well, I did miss our waitress, Amanda this time, but the server that we…read morehad was spectacular as well.. This is just a happy place. The food was perfect and yes, I had the Squirrel salad again, but my sister had to build a burger with extra crispy sweet potato fries and her friend had a grilled chicken burger. He thought he was following doctors orders, but my sister took the bacon off it for him and ate it herself! . We couldn't sit in the sports part because I had something to do with the fan in the kitchen, so that's the only thing I didn't like as we sat at a different table than our absolute usual. Other than that, I can't help but giving this epic place with its epic chef five stars. It has to be my favorite place ever to eat at in Gaylord.

The standard bun is a brioche - ask for it extra toasted. Then add Grilled Onions, pickles, lettuce, and extra Thousand Island dressing to emulate In-N-Out Burger Animal Style.

Super friendly staff and lots of extra-cold beer on tap exemplify the wholesome Northern Michigan vibe. Lots of TVs and a cozy, not-too-bright environment. I would totally go back.

We arrived in town a little late on a Friday with nowhere to eat (this town shuts down at 8pm on a Friday?? Seriously??)

The down side was the draftiness of the place - just could not get warm. As we left we noticed the other half of the restaurant was definitely warmer. So be aware.
