I had barely set foot in the door when the two bartenders at the bar greeted me warmly and welcomed me in and told me I could sit anywhere I wanted. I sat at the bar and as recommended by a local, I ordered the pepper jack crab soup, which was delicious. One thing to be aware of: don't expect real crab in the soup. Imitation only. But it's plentiful and delicious on a frigid winter day. The bartender recommended the roasted chicken or the perch, and living near another great lake and always having ready access to perch, I decided on the broasted chicken. I was not disappointed. It came with four pieces, choice, potato, and a choice of another side. It was way too its food, but I ate more than I thought they would because it was that good. I will definitely return to the painted lady!

Food was very good with a good selection. At our table everything from meatballs with marinara to Caesar's salad to Cubano sandwich. Prime rib soup was good and hearty. And our server was spot on, between helpful, welcoming, and checking in on us just enough. 12 beers on tap (sorry, I wasn't paying attention to a wine list or anything like that) with a good selection of beers, including a number of local brew. Nice place for a late Sunday afternoon lunch in the summer, will be back in the colder months as well. Definitely a place worth checking out.

It had the standard toppings--avocado, corn, black bean, tomato, tortilla chips. But the cheese was melted on top, like a kind of crunchy/chewey plate--it really looked like it was topped with a mini pizza. Not sure that enhanced the salad, but overall it was fine. Instead of dressing, it came with tubs of sour cream and salsa to mix in. I do that at home sometimes, so can't complain. The lettuce was fresh and crispy. Decent beer selection, including a quite a few bottled ones, which I hadn't noticed until after I ordered my pint of Two Hearted. Be sure to ask for a bottle menu. I sat at the bar and the server regularly looked in on me. Wasn't too noisy, in spite of the tight space that was full when I stopped in on a Sunday night. Nice little spot to check out in Manistee.

She gave me the option to order online or directly with her--no pressure at all--so I chose human-to-human, and I'm so glad I did. Bella helped me choose the best pizza, patiently answered all of my questions, and stayed calm and kind even while I had to enter my credit card zip code multiple times. Not once did she rush me or make me feel like an inconvenience, even though I could tell she was busy. I was calling all the way from Los Angeles to have pizza delivered to my grandmother for New Year's, and Bella truly made it special. She didn't just treat me like a customer--she made me feel like a guest of Pizza Hut. The delivery was successful, the pizza was perfect, and it genuinely made my grandmother's year. Thank you, Bella, for your patience, kindness, and excellent service. Employees like you are the reason people keep coming back

My husband ordered chili and we saw the cook walk behind the bar to the cooler and walk back to the kitchen with it, that should've been a sign right there. I ordered mac & cheese bites. The mac & cheese bites were the size of a large kidney bean and there were 5 of them for $8 dollars!!! The chili was too salty and more like a soup so my husband sent it back. We got our bill and she charged us for the chili and we asked about that and she said she could comp us a drink and was unpleasant about it. We left without finishing our drinks and won't go back.

As for the food we seem to have had different opinions at the table half of the table felt the food was not hot enough where as myself and my sister thought it was just fine. I stuck with options I know from other locations , coconut shrimp (which was delicious I loved the addition of pineapple pieces), lo mein was good, mushrooms and pork ( the mushrooms were great but minimal pork) and the mixed vegetables were excellent. I also had the crab wontons which were flavorful and full. The salad bar had a nice variety and everything looked fresh. There were some dessert and a soft serve machine with vanilla/chocolate or twist. I didn't have soup but others did and said there were no wontons in the wonton soup and it was Luke warm. Another had sweet and sour chicken and some pieces had no chicken in the breading. The restroom was very clean but run down and the first stall I went to go in had a broken seat. The price was reasonable but it's not a location I will run back to when I'm in the area again.
