Chi Chi's A Gem in beach front water town…read more I recently had the pleasure of getting chi Chi's big breakfast and I'm genuinely impressed. As a small, local business, they offer a level of personalized attention that you just don't find with larger corporations. From the initial contact to the final delivery, the team at chi Chi's was friendly charming and amicable. What really stood out was their customer service we came in as a group of eight and they immediately moved a couple of tables together for our group. It's clear that they take pride in their work and genuinely care about their customers.

First don't let the outside decor fool you. It's not great and you have to go outside and back in to use the bathroom. And yet... it still rates 5 stars. The server was a sweet lady, like you'd find in most diners, friendly, attentive very helpful. But the food!!! OMG, the fried portobello mushrooms were outstanding and the mushroom and Swiss burger... amazing. The price was about what you'd expect for eating out these days. Not bargain basement, but reasonable, especially for the quality of that food. WOW!

I was struggling to decide between the Prime Rib and the Lasagna. I was prompted to try the lasagna since it was made fresh in house every day. I'm so glad k made this choice!! My only disappointment is the atmosphere - it is always dark and kind of depressing. It is just the style of the restaurant and not my preference. It isn't a knock.

Every time I've stepped foot into this place, I was met with a hearty hello, or a few hey expressions or a hi there! The patrons of this establishment today were extremely pleasant. I love the atmosphere nowadays as well as how it was in the old days and the fact that it is just a wonderful place to unwind from a few months of stress, or go have a good time on the weekends during the seasons that welcome patrons from around not just Alpena, but Michigan itself as well as some random appearances from people out of state. Overall if I wanted to rate this business I would have to give it a 5 and a half stars out of 5. Truly phenomenal to be a person who enjoys the ambience of a space that resembles awesomeness! Thank you. For reference, no I was not drinking at this establishment before legal age, I actually had enjoyed some food and occasional work as a child such as wiping the bar down or sweeping the floor etc.

If you don't drink beer, they also have ciders and spirits so everyone's happy! The menu is perfect for a brewery, and I especially love the Pizza/Panini section. Each item can be ordered as a flatbread pizza or a pressed panini sandwich. My favorite is the "Tro-Pork-Al," which is pulled pork, tangy BBQ sauce, pineapple, and bacon-- unbelievably delicious with melty cheese holding it all together :) Restrooms are clean, food is consistent, and we've never had to wait for a table. I can't wait to stop in again for some yummy road trip grindage! If you find yourself passing through Grayling, don't forget to pop in for a sandwich and a beer- you won't be sorry!

Excellent brewery/restaurant in Grayling…read more I've eaten here twice in a seven year span and the beer, food, and service are still great. Latest visit was last week and we were going to arrive right around kitchen closing (9:30pm). Called in an order and they held it for us/let us eat inside and grab beers. Appreciated that greatly after a long drive. A handful of plant based options like tacos, bowls, and pita sandwiches. I ordered tacos and the pita and both were yummy. Beers are solid and they have other breweries too. Plus cider. The seating options are plentiful (long bar, small and large tables). They can accommodate large groups. The decor is cool inside too. Will absolutely keep coming here when I find myself up north.

The ladies working were very personable and our server got us menus as soon as we chose our seats. Tonight's special was a Fried Cchicken Mashed Potato Bowl. It came with choice of soup or salad and bread. I chose the Chicken Alfredo Soup. It was very hearty so I only ate a little bit knowing the bowl would also be filling. The Mashed Potato Bowl had pieces of fried chicken tenders, corn, mashed potato, cheese, and gravy. It was very filling! I really like this restaurant and will come back but breakfast is really my favorite meal here.
