Worth every moment and penny. We were referred by a local antique shop and this didn't disappoint…read more I was curious after reading the reviews and this is a solid four star restaurant. We didn't take photos of the food because I wasn't expecting to write a review (I'm connected to an old account and can't access my latest). Anyway, great, fresh and delicious food. My husband had the Reuben with fries. I had the cod basket and added the onion rings. It was all so delicious! Our server was very friendly and helpful with the menu and about local activities. I had to try their famous Bloody Mary, and my goodness -- it was FABULOUS! It was the only thing I had to photograph because it was insanely beautiful and tasty. The environment is a comfortable open table plan with a full bar area. They're prepping to repaint the front dining room, but it didn't interfere with the dining experience. The bathroom was extremely clean, and the staff were clearly focused on keeping tables clean. It was impressive overall! We will definitely return in the future while traveling in upper Michigan!!

To be clear.....prices for additions should be displayed on menu! not at the end when you get your bill ---Food was hot and Service was great But the burgers are small for that price.( it's a 1/3 pound before it's cooked ) so they get pretty small. :(

We had been traveling for a few days and I needed something a bit on the mild and plain side as my stomach tends to be on the sensitive side. It was on a brioche bun that was grilled and had a 310 branded on the bun. I did want my fries extra crispy and they were anything but...they were good but they definitely were not crispy. Hubby decided to order sides for his meal. I'm not a fan of pretzel sticks so I did not try them but he said they were good. He did not eat them all and the server gave us a huge side of cheese to go when we boxed them up. The hush puppies were very good! Despite my sensitive tummy, I probably ate a few more of those than I should have. The brisket chili was good...it was flavorful but not spicy. Brisket was cooked very well. Overall, a good experience but sadly they got dinged a little for the fries not being crispy despite me asking for them to be done extra crispy. I would definitely come back again though.

It was a Thursday and I was in town (Live 64 miles from Petoskey) for a Doc appointment and a bit…read moreof shopping. I had done a bit of research the day before .. looking for restaurants in the area. When I noticed that the Side Door had Prime Rib on special, (Wed-Sat) the decision was made. DISCLAIMER: I had eaten at the Side Door a few years ago (Cilantro Lime Shrimp W/Pasta) Me and my neighbor arrived at about 4:45PM, and were greeted with a warm smile and seated immediately ... we were kinda early for the dinner rush so there was plenty of available seating. (NOTE: When we departed about an hour after we arrived, the place was FULL and a line was forming for a table.) We both ordered the 14oz Black Angus Prime Rib (10oz also available). About the same time that we finished the first beer, dinner was served! Simply one of ... if not Thee best, PR that I have had in several years, across 11 states. My neighbor agreed. Both of us now try to plan our Petoskey trips to coincide with dinner at the Door My ONLY complaint is that the horseradish was weak. Actually, it seemed that it had been washed into submission .. totally without any flavor or "bite". The rest of the meal made up for it. (But I *will* bring some nose-incinerating, sinus-creating horseradish from home on the next planned trip.) Service: Superb. We never had to ask for anything. Drinks were refilled with perfect timing. And always smiling. She is an asset to the establishment. Driving Suggestion: Depending on the season and the time of day, if arriving from the North, it can be nearly impossible to make the left turn into the Side Door. Suggestion: Turn Right into the strip mall (KFC, AT&T, etc) and use the traffic light near the gas station to turn left, back onto the highway then a right into the Side Door Saloon for some of the best dining in the Petoskey area. Ample Parking is available. YMMV

It was a carryout, so I didn't know, until I took a bite, what a boring tasteless sandwich this was. Maybe a tsp of onions, and a tbsp of cheese on the rye bread, no beef flavor whatsoever.

With a name like Chuckwagon ... to be honest, I didn't expect much. But it turns out that you…read moreshouldn't judge a restaurant by its name, because Chuckwagon served us what was probably the best meal we had on Mackinac Island. And it was the cheapest, too! Blessed from all directions. A patty melt was on the menu, so that's what I got. I can't not get a patty melt if I see one on a menu! This one was beefy and melty, with caramelized red onions between two slices of rye bread. All of the burgers and sandwiches come with plain potato chips and a pickle spear. We also got a regular cheeseburger and bleu cheese burger. All of the burgers are served on a pretzel bun, which is not my favorite type of bun, but I wasn't eating those burgers, and the eaters didn't seem to mind. Chuckwagon has a small kids' menu (the Lil' Buckaroo's Menu), with four items on it. Your kids can choose from a pb & j sandwich, a hot dog, a grilled cheese sandwich and mac & cheese. My little buckaroo chose the mac & cheese, which I believe was Kraft mac & cheese. Kids' menu items don't come with anything additional. This is a small restaurant with limited seating. You can sit at the counter and watch the action happen, or if you're lucky, you can find one of the few tables lining the wall or located in the back of the restaurant. Either way, depending on when you visit, you might encounter a crowd! But I think it's worth it to visit this old-school diner-type restaurant.
