We have been wanting to try this brewery for a while, and finally made it in...what a great…read moreexperience! Bri took great care of us, she was very knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoyed our brews and the sangria cider! And then, the food... We started with the Brewhouse Pretzel...10/10! Hot, chewy, huge and perfectly salted...delicious honey mustard and cheese for dipping. I tried the Spiced Lamb Burger, very unique and tasty, and the spiral fries were delicious! Our table also enjoyed Mahi Mahi Tacos and the Southern Chicken and Biscuit sandwich, both very good. The cheesecake with Carmel sauce...wow. The slice was huge, with super creamy texture, just excellent. Also for dessert, I had a seasonal cocktail "All Too Welll", like pumpkin pie in a martini glass! Mom also enjoyed her Carmel Apple Cauldron. Looking forward to going back, this will definitely make our list of favorite spots when we are up north !

I really liked the GF pizza crust. I ordered a chicken quesadilla, but served on the pizza crust. The crust was good and chewy--chewy bread is rare for GF diners. Servers were attentive, atmosphere was conducive to conversation. I would go again next time I'm in Cadillac.

This was the best overall meal and experience we've had at a restaurant in a long time. The Clam…read moreLake Vanilla Shipwreck beer was great, their buffalo chicken dip appetizer was such an amazing, elevated version of that classic app, and their special dessert for the evening (tres leches cake) was to die for. That's not even to mention the incredible pizza we had! We got a build your own pizza with candied bacon, pepperoni, jalapeños, and pineapple. This exceeded all expectations. They make their candied bacon in-house, and I don't think any pizza will ever come close to what this simple ingredient added to the flavor of it. Lastly, our server - Randall N. - was so kind, fun, honest, and engaging! He truly topped this experience off for us.

The corn nuggets albeit not homemade, tasted like perfection and the dipping sauce was the perfect complement. 10/10 craft brews: all made on site from Mountain Town Brewing Co. Favorites: Railyard Raspberry - Raspberry Wheat Ale, The Wife is Calling - Light Honey Lager & Blood Orange Moscow Mule - all on tap! The outdoor seating options were perfect for a beautiful night. It was our first time here and we will absolutely be back. Oh, and don't forget you get 15% off as a Great Lakes Bay Dining Card member - great deals!

I ordered the Ultimate Sampler ($45). This has Sliced Beef Brisket, Sliced Tri-Tip, Pulled Pork, Shredded Chicken, Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage, Smoked Chicken Wings, Ribs, Cornbread (2), Pickled Onions, Sweet & Spicy Pickles, & Choice of Two Sides. I got Baked Beans and Mashed Potatoes. The portion sizes were generous and the say feeds 2. I would say it could feed 3. The brisket was very good, just a tad dry, however very tender. The Tri-tip was good, just a little tough. The pulled pork and shredded chicken were both excellent. As were the ribs and chicken wings. The sausage was ehh. The cornbread was very good. The pickles were excellent. The baked beans and boursin mashed potatoes were both fantastic and worth visiting for those alone. My ranking of everything from my Best to least favorite: Ribs, Chicken Wings, Pulled Pork, Baked Beans, Mashed Potatoes, Shredded Chicken, Cornbread, Brisket, Tri-tip, and lastly sausage. Nothing was bad, and a lot was excellent! They have 6 sauces to choose from: Regular Bbq, Cajun Bbq, Apple Bbq, Korean Bbq, Alabama White, and Carolina Gold. They were all good. The service was very friendly and helpful. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Since I have to round, I'll round to 4. Would I return? Absolutely. Very good bbq.

I was immediately transported to the 80's when I stepped in. This location has done a wonderful job of brightening up the walls, fresh paint, fitting decor... all while holding on to the aesthetic that made them popular. The store still featured booths and wood panels and the buffet, but was appropriately updated. It was clean and kept up well I was elated to find that the Buffett options hadn't changed much from my memory. The crispy chicken wings, breaded shrimp, and mashed potatoes met every expectation. Service was friendly and helpful. The price was great and I left feeling satisfied and almost giddy. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Or should I say 'happy trails?'
