They have had a food truck there each time I've visited (Alley Cat's) so you can hang out for dinner and drinks!

You walk in and it's very dark and lounge feeling. We got the Krampus Old Fashioned and a Wake Up Call. Krampus is very strong! I'm a wimp haha my husband ordered that. I got the Wake Up Call. It was very yummy. A good dessert drink to end my night. I liked it! Also very strong. So if you like booze heavy drinks this is your place! It's not super loud down in the bar. It was a cool place to get a drink and hang out for a bit. Krista and Nick were running the bar. They were friendly and kind and attentive service. 5 stars if strong drinks are your vibe because this is place makes great drinks I only gave 4 because it's not really my style of drinks and I didn't love love my drink.

Who knew Grayling was a dining destination?!? We came here…read moreon a Saturday night. It is rather unassuming from the outside, but nicely decorated on the inside. There were five of us. We were seated in a booth in the front window. Aaliyah was our server, and despite the fact that she spelled her name several times for me I accidentally deleted the post, so I don't know if I have it right. But anyway, you should ask for her. Except for when I'm dining there because I want her to be MY server. They brought bread, which had a variety as well as two types of dipping oil. One was a pesto and I believe the other was a sun-dried tomato and they were both phenomenal. We ate our weight in bread. We had the shrimp fondue appetizer for the table. They were large fried shrimp. Not with much breading just a light coating. And it was served with a Borson cheese dipping sauce that was killer. You can't go wrong. Two of us had fillets two had the crabcakes and I had the cowboy ribeye special. Two of our diners also had a cup of tomato soup and split a wedge salad. See pictures. The wedge salad had an amazing dressing on it and they split it in the kitchen. The tomato soup was very tasty. I would have that again. The crabcakes were excellent without a lot of breading. It had a Romano sauce that had red pepper in it, which is not something I like, but they were very tasty. The crabcakes came with excellent oven roasted potatoes. Very crispy very good. The fillets came with a mixed medley of vegetables and a mashed potato, and my ribeye steak came with grilled asparagus and the mashed potatoes. If I were going to have any complaint it would be that the steaks were just slightly cooked more than I would've liked. Next time I would order rare. We had the carrot cake and the lemon cake for dessert. Carrot cake was good but the lemon cake was out of this world. Absolutely amazing. We also had the chocolate martini which was fabulous. Not too chocolatey and not at all too sweet. As I mentioned, our weight staff were exceptional. Overall, I would say this was fabulous.

Northern Michigan is incredibly fortunate to have a restaurant of this caliber. Whether you're local or making the drive, Mimi & Pipi's is absolutely worth the trip.
