    3 pancakes and "aigs"

    We really enjoyed the breakfast from Dogpatch. The woman serving us was very sweet and very informative with what to do in the area.

    Whitefish basket

    Cheese curds - 5 stars! best part of our meal Burger - good! Grilled chicken sandwich with side salad - pretty good, great side salad! Whitefish basket - pretty good! Ground round with roasted bell pepper soup - good, soup was yum! Overall, it was as about as expected. We were very hungry after a full day of hiking with no lunch which maybe made the meal better than it actually was. Service was good. Depending on what door you come in, it could take a while to be seated. There are definitely limited options on places to eat in Munising.

    Steak and baked potato

    Michelle served me and she gave excellent service. The New York steak and baked potato was everything I wanted in both of those things. Great place. Will be back.

    I was in town for the Ice fest and was looking for a place to grab a quick lunch. The outside of this place looks pretty cool and the inside is decor very similar. 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. Decor fun. Got there early before they got busy. As we were leaving there were a few larger groups waiting to be seated.

    Pretty good food and service, a bit dark but I didn't mind. Didn't have a fly problem like a lot of the restaurants I've been to in the UP.

    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

We didn't have any plans for dinner so my companion started looking for acceptable options on his iPhone. "How about this one," he said. "The 'Fresh Water Tavern' in Gladstone. Gladstone is just a few miles away." Having been to the Terrace Bay Hotel recently I said, "Actually, it's just down the hallway." "Really!" He replied. "Yep, it's the restaurant and bar right here in the hotel," I said. "Let's go!" He replied. And so we walked from our room to the bar. Once seated at the bar we ordered drinks. I went for a dry martini with one of my favorite gins -- which was properly mixed and chilled. Since we were in need of dinner too, we checked out the menu. Lots of good options. I decided to try the whitefish sandwich. It was excellent. A nice filet on a decent roll with the right amount of sauce and crunchy veggies. I'd definitely eat it again. Generic but decent fries along side of the sandwich made for a nice meal after our first day on the road. I didn't expect to find five star food in Gladstone, but tasty three star food with a properly mixed cocktail at the hotel restaurant/bar after a long drive is actually worthy of four -- so kudos to the Freshwater Tavern!

    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!
