There are some other good wait staff but be warned some are terrible. They have a food runner so other than order and drinks the waitstaff don't have much to do. A 3% fee is now added to your bill without your choice to cover employees benefits. Steak portions have shrunk while prices went way up.

This included a side garden salad - it was pretty big and very fresh. We all got the flank steak with gorgonzola cheese potato and flank steak. It was a really good portion for the price. Highly recommend!

We went by car since it was soooo cold. Once we got there, we were greeted by a really nice hostess. She seated us in a booth. We wanted latte with breakfast and let us know Uproot is owned by the same owners so we could order a coffee online and bring it over if we pick it up ourselves. So nice! For breakfast, my husband order then homemade corned beef hash with sourdough toast. I ordered the Irish skillet with cinnamon bread. Both were delish! We hung out for a bit before battling the cold. Definitely would go back!

We ordered a taco salad and white fish dinner, plus a couple beers. Everything was great and our waitress. Amanda was attentive, but not too attentive. She was really good.

Should I do another review? Well, I did miss our waitress, Amanda this time, but the server that we…read morehad was spectacular as well.. This is just a happy place. The food was perfect and yes, I had the Squirrel salad again, but my sister had to build a burger with extra crispy sweet potato fries and her friend had a grilled chicken burger. He thought he was following doctors orders, but my sister took the bacon off it for him and ate it herself! . We couldn't sit in the sports part because I had something to do with the fan in the kitchen, so that's the only thing I didn't like as we sat at a different table than our absolute usual. Other than that, I can't help but giving this epic place with its epic chef five stars. It has to be my favorite place ever to eat at in Gaylord.

The bartender who I will guess owned the place based on his prideful prating on about his 16 hour days like it's a badge of honor. Side note: It appears to be in northern Michigan. Some may have found his gruff attitude and foul mouth toward the customers offensive. I found it rather charming, like I was watching History Channel's Gangland re-enactment of a Hells Angles' bar. He's seen it all and can't be fazed by your desire to have your appetizer come out before your meal. You'll get it all at the same time and you'll like it, snowflake! I throughly enjoyed my potato skins and fish dinner, tipped extra to endear myself to Rocco, headed out the door avoiding eye contact with face tattoo guys, trying not to offend anyone with my carefree big city attitude, hopped in my car, locked the doors, and with a satisfied feeling and full belly I went on my way into the night. Will be back!
