    I was in town for the Ice fest and was looking for a place to grab a quick lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside of this place looks pretty cool and the inside is decor very similar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is just OK and that is why it gets three stars. Nothing to brag about service was good. Not sure if I'd ever come back.

    Had the white fish basket. 4 large pieces of fish. A little too peppery for my taste but did enjoy the fish. Fries and coleslaw in the basket good. Two of us could have easily split this if it was allowed (didn't ask). Good came out quickly and was hot! Waitress very attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got there early before they got busy. As we were leaving there were a few larger groups waiting to be seated.

    It is a unique and catchy place that will confuse many because little Abner has not been in the funny pages in 50 years. For those of us that remember or slightly remember little Abner and the whole dog patch clan this will be a trip down memory lane. The food was better than average actually large portions delivered fast And by friendly wait staff. There was nothing bad about my experience. In fact it was quite delightful and it was fun looking over the menu with the names in the phrasing from lil Abner comics. The salads were huge, and full of fresh vegetables very nice. My White fish basket was delicious. The fries were perfect. The fish was properly prepared, the walleye was good as well. My friend had the ribeye and she liked it. It was well prepared very nice and a good value four people 100 bucks.

    We stopped by Dogpatch when we realized the restaurant we were planning on going to was closed. It was a solid 3 stars: no bs staff, food arrived quickly, and food was hot. The food: appetizer was deep fried mushrooms served with ranch. They were solid. Lunch: I had the Lonesome Polecat burger (had fried cheese curd, bacon, cheese, pickles, lettuce, tomato, onion) It was very tasty, just a little greasy. I was happy with my choice. Husband had the Princess Minihahaskirt (a fried white fish sandwich), which he said was "good, but didn't have anything to make it pop." Was the food amazing? No. Was it good? Sure. They offer a solid meal that will stick with you all day. Do we need to go back? No. Nothing wowed up enough for a return visit, and there are so many restaurants around Munising I'd rather try instead.

    Cup of Veggie hamburger soup.

    Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night in the off season. It was quiet inside. I had a cup of soup (veggie hamburger). I also had the mushroom Swiss burger with crinkle fries and Cole slaw. Everything was middle-of-the-road average. Nothing was great. Nothing was bad. The inside is old-school dark. Casual. There is a bar area. Service was good.

    Save yourself the hassle and money. The food is bad and the coffee is horrible. The buffet was the worse part.

    The food was just "okay". Higher prices, very average food. There are better options in Munising; go elsewhere

    Food was nothing but mediocre. Atmosphere is terrible and there are weird cartoons everywhere. Overpriced and underwhelming.

    Lil' Abner theme restaurant. Who would have thought of that? Good food, reasonable price. Steak that on of us had looked good.

    Bland, overpriced food with just about the weirdest decor I've seen in a while. There have to be better options around.

    Long wait. SLOW service. DIRTY restaurant and bathrooms are DISGUSTING! This place needs a complete overhaul and gut the place.

    Our two month motorhome trip brought us to Marquette, MI for three days. After an internet search…read more(thanks Yelp), we decided to eat at The Vierling. There were no seats at the highly touted back room, with a view, so we decided to sit at the bar...excellent decision. BTW, the view at the back area is not worth getting stressed about. However, it is a great area. Our bartender was Marissa; she was great. When in Rome...we both decided to get the whitefish. Mine was just the regular seasoning and my wife got the scampi version. Both were very good. We both had one of the Vierling's brews (cant remember which one) and we both enjoyed it. Vierling also has a blueberry brew and blueberries are actually dropped into it before served. We may go back today just to try it. It was a great experience and struck up a conservation with a young local. He wrote down several recommendations for us, including Black Rock Brewery and Portside, which deserve a review. I highly recommend The Vierling and discovered they take reservations. We enjoyed sitting at the bar. Thanks Marissa!

    At dinner time, get here early. You definitely want a table in the back to look out over the lake…read more It's a really pretty view. Unfortunately tonight I didn't get here early enough so I sat out by the bar, which is absolutely fine. I started with a French onion soup, which I normally do when I'm here, tonight it was a little less oniony than it usually is, but that just could simply be a function of whoever was ladling it up. It's still absolutely delicious. For dinner, I had the chicken piccata with a baked potato and steamed green beans. The steamed green beans are a staple while there are a variety of other sides, such as onion rings or Alfredo, etc. I was a little disappointed in the piccata this time. It was less lemony and more oily than I remember. The lemon wedge helped, but I don't think that piccata would have to need additional lemon to the sauce. The green beans also a little heavy on the butter as was the baked potato. I don't want to say that the meal wasn't flavorful, because it was and my server while really busy was an absolute gem, only that it was a little heavy with the melted butter. After many excellent experiences here, this won't turn me off to coming back again and trying something else. Especially if I can get a table in the back!
