We set up our chairs on the street next to Molasses, near the stage. And... we became hungry and benefitted from Molasses. We were able to order and enjoy the wonderfully tasty burnt ends before they were sold out; we also enjoyed some tasty street corn and some adult and non-alcoholic beverages. The staff is fantastically helpful and friendly. We look to return on our next visit. Thanks, Molasses!

Overall not bad, although I've certainly had better in other places…read more The decor is right on point with what you would expect in a barbecue joint. They all seem to have the country Honky Tonk bar appearance, and I suppose that's what people expect. The staff was reasonably attentive, although they weren't terribly busy the night I've visited so I suppose they didn't have a lot to do, lol. I ordered the ribs with a side of coleslaw. Overall the ribs were fine, but they weren't quite as tender as I'm used to. As I recall the coleslaw was adequate but nothing special. Pricing was a little on the high side, but I get it that it cost money to run a place like this. Overall I don't think I would be inclined to come back.

We placed our order online for pickup at 6:30 - a little over an hour later. Everything seemed fine. The guys at Port City called a few minutes later and explained that the website was wrong and they actually closed at 6. Did we want the order early or cancelled? We're so glad we picked it up early! I had the brisket meal with beans and cole slaw. My sister had the brisket sandwich. We both got extra horsey sauce. That sauce is my new favorite! I want to put it on everything!! The mean was tender and juicy but the horsey just sent it over the top. Well done, Port City!

This store is not just a fish processing, smokehouse and serves takeout dinners which I did not try yet. There are plenty of workers and service was quick. There is no place to sit and eat. It is all takeout. We were here on a Friday morning of Labor Day weekend. A very busy time in Michigan's vacation land. There is plenty of parking in a lot adjacent to the store and on the street but watch out for the crazy bike drivers who think they own the road one of the old guys nearly ran me over because he thought he owned the road or maybe he didn't know how to drive a bicycle. Just the word of caution. Will I return? Yes, because it's the only fish, fresh fish, store within 50 or 60 miles of Frankfort. I compare fish processing outlets, to a business just outside Mackinaw city named Big Stone Bay Fishery. We were not in looking for a place to eat just for some fresh fish, and some smoked fish. I think that Big Stone Bay Fishery accommodates the customer better. for instance, they freely provide the customer with ice for the trip back home to the Detroit area.

It's hard to describe the way they've carved out an entirely new BBQ flavor. I had the BBQ tacos with pulled pork, which was dynamic. The parfait is certainly a unique way to deliver the whole experience in a single convenient dish. Beans in the bottom, pulled pork, with coleslaw on top. Certainly the different types of slaw influenced the overall flavor but I think it was also the way the cabbage in the slaw was rough cut instead of shredded. Siracha and Dijon were in the driver's seat with one of the slaws I tried. The staff was super friendly. Although the restaurant is a humble place it was jammed when we were there. If I lived in the area I'd probably show up once a week too! Maxons clearly captured the rural area's attention and some folks from town were there too. What a great experience. From the moment see left our vehicle we could smell the fire and the smoking meat. Wonderful! Give Maxons a try!

Our food was good overall and the waiter was nice but a little gruff. New York strip was too rare for "rare", but good taste. Waiter did not check back on the steak status which we typically appreciate when steak is ordered. My chicken Marsala fettuccini was good. Chicken sandwiches were good. We were disappointed that they had a full bar but didn't stock ciders, nor could they make a red sangria. What? I really wanted a sangria on my bday, but no luck. We stopped for ice cream and Buzz Balls at Larry's on the way back to Elk Lake. Ambience was typical family dining, definitely nothing fancy. I expected slightly more of a classy establishment on a golf course. This may be the "nicest" you can get in the middle-of-nowhere MI.

Because I've had some negative experiences, I haven't been out much for breakfast, usually made at wasting my money. Enter Duane's in Falmouth, a quiet and small community of Falmouth, Michigan. First, they offer a nice looking breakfast buffet on weekends, and although tempted, I wanted some over medium eggs. So I decided to go for broke. BOY! Was I glad I did. Amazing hash browns, crisp and done perfectly. The bacon - the smell that drove me to try their breakfast - was again, perfectly cooked and nicely smoked to perfection, possibly by the folks at the meat market Ebels right next door. But most importantly is the eggs. I've settled on ordering my fried eggs over medium because I had way too many OE eggs delivered with extremely runny whites. But I decided again to take a chance and it was the work of a careful and loving cook who actually knows how to make fried eggs! The wait staff were helpful and very friendly. The speed the breakfast came to my table was amazing despite the restaurant being a bit busy. The prices are average for the area. Long and short, making this place my new go to for food is top of my list. I've finally found my restaurant!

It definitely doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is nice. The menu has a lot of options so we started with the appetizer sampler. There is NOTHING for appetizers if you're gluten free so I popped an enzyme and prayed. For dinner I ordered the grilled walleye dinner with a vegetable medley and potatoes. My husband got the beef tips and noodles. All of it was prepared perfectly! For such a small place in a small town, I can guarantee a lot of the food is frozen but it was prepared well and tasted fresh. Food freshness gains 4 stars, quality pulls in 5! Our servers were very good but nothing was ever cleared from our table so there is room for improvement there. Service gets 4 stars. Cleanliness gains 4 stars, this little place was pretty clean but there is again room for improvement. The toilets are stained, and the dust is apparent on some surfaces. Especially the window sill in the ladies room. There's a dead bee on it from God knows when. But the important parts were clean. Ambiance gains 5 stars and was very unexpected! That gives this location 4 stars which is not bad! I hope this little town appreciates this lone star in their community. I would hate to see it close. I recommend stopping if you're ever driving through and I know we'll be back.
