Waffle Nachos - summer 2023
Emily M.

Still CASH ONLY - no debit/credit cards so be ready! Only open late spring through summer. Closed fall/winter. Soft served ice cream is soooo good! French fries are yum! They have burgers etc too. A few picnic benches around to sit down, otherwise take to go. Summer tradition to go here for ice cream after a day at the beach.

Cash only so be prepared. There's always a line but it's worth the wait! The burgers are delicious and homemade and the ice cream is just as good! Worth a stop for sure.

This walk up road side stand south of town is great for a quick bite. They have the major things you would except with quality ingredients. And their fries are what make this review 5 stars. I had their made to order cheese burger with fresh fixings and a blackberry shake that had real blackberries. The ordering process was efficient orders in front up pick food in back. The only complaint I have is the menu is way overwhelming and such small print. Service was fast and friendly and if I'm ever in the area again I'll be sure to try this place again especially another shake or their soft serve ice cream cones.

Great old school Ice Cream stand serving both soft serve and hand dipped Ice Cream. I had the large vanilla and chocolate soft serve in a cone and it was great. My guests opted for the shake and they were all very good. Try this locally owned stand before they close for the winter!

Delicious stop to the end of our day in Charlevoix! Our entire family enjoyed our ice cream from the Dairy Grille. Prices are so reasonable, just be sure you have cash on hand. Can't wait to visit again!

Mmmmm! My favorite ice cream! Superman! They have the best ice cream!

WOW! This place hits the spot! Amazing Service and food. I feel like this is more of a pick up your food and go not a sit and eat. Ice cream and burgers were great! COVID rules are good there. I don't see them wiping down things at all. I have never seen anyone sanitize anything. It could just be me though. If your looking for a pick up your food and go place this is it. If your looking for a good sit down place to eat, go to the villager pub or terry's place! Definitely check out the wahoo burger! They also make great hot fudge sundaes! You have to check this place out!

Just what you'd expect from a little hamburger shack like this. Nothing life altering but when you're in the mood for a burger, fries and an ice cream you'll be happy you stopped here. My husband was especially pleased by the Frozen Custard Flurry with Reese's added. I got a dipped cone - how can you not love that? Also the French fries were especially yummy. Definitely sit yourself down at the picnic tables and enjoy your grub outside and enjoy the fun of eating at a street side burger joint.

Crispy, crunchy shoestring fries. So good!

Great community ice cream shop. The baby size avalanche is awesome if you just ate too much BBQ.

Dairy Grille is always my first stop driving up north each summer. Cheeseburgers are even better than the ice cream.

Amazing burgers, fries, and dessert. I recommend the bacon cheeseburger and for dessert, a m&m avalanche.

We stopped in at this Culver's after my mom had been craving a Turtle Sundae. It was a bit chaotic…read moreinside, but we later found out that was because there was a child's birthday party happening in the main dining area. We ordered at the front, and the employee had a lot of trouble placing our order, so we were a bit nervous about the accuracy of it. It took a while to order even though we were the only ones in line, so I feel bad for people who come during a rush. Our food came out pretty quickly. We were missing some of our sauces, but other than that, everything was correct. My chicken tenders were very tender! Each bite easily fell off in my mouth, and it was a very satisfying experience. The cheese curds were pretty solid as well. My mom got her turtle sundae, and the rest of us ordered make-your-own sundaes by scanning the QR code at the table. For ordering, I'd highly recommend doing that instead of going to the front. It was brought out almost instantly to us and was delicious.

Clean, prompt service, nice bathrooms, conveniently located. I had never had Culver's, but most of…read morethe rest of my party had. I'm a sort of pescatarian, so I ordered the cod sandwich and a side of coleslaw. The fish was good, well-battered, well-cooked inside. The bun didn't really fit the fish. Strangely, there was a shredded cheddar, like you get in a bag at the grocery store, on the sandwich. The coleslaw was excellent.

Gorgeous patio; clean, casual, hip. It is so fun to watch the Ironton ferry shuttle people and cars back and forth. Ample parking with waiting areas filled with beautiful flowers and water views. If you come during lunch and dinner rush, expect to wait. The staff are all wonderful. Many staff look young yet they are all friendly and well-trained. We watched a manager respond to a challenge seating a large group and were impressed with how gracious and friendly she was with customers who appeared disgruntled. Now for the food: honestly, if this review were based on taste alone, y rating would be closer to a 3-4. However, portions are ample, well presented, arrived hot and were good. In an area with great food, it's definitely the ambience and wonderfully run restaurant that keeps us coming back. And the prices... so reasonable we had to do a double take when we received our bill. We shared two entrees and drank only water, yet were still impressed with the reasonable pricing. Great place for families.

Lovely pre-Victorian decor adds such a warm feel to the evening. All 6 of us ordered different entrees which were delicious. I personally had the rare prime rib - my brother spotted the plate presentation & inquired if the horns could be mounted! Polished the luscious cut with great gusto. Only issue was the roasted potatoes had gobs of course salt. As if the crispness of the skin needed a special kick. Our favorite server Pam, had suggestions at the slightest hesitation on choices. The 6 Oysters were sumptuous & she winked as I backed off from the full dozen - weak decision on my part! Only issue was all the seating chatter behind us revered off the corner so all small talk was begun with "what did you say?" Trivial matter all things considered.
