    Cod dinner on a Friday , and Angry burger basket.
    Mèlisa W.

    First off start by saying , I'm a huge food critic, but for one beer battered cod dinner and one angry burger with fries , 4 bloody Mary's came to nearly $70!!!!! @ Lake side bar and grill! Like what! I'll start by two weeks ago we ordered two plain cheeseburgers, one fry and it came to $30!!!! I was appalled. I was charged .75 each box for take out as well! Today we needed lunch as we had a really long night and just didn't want to bother, so we decided to go to lake side bar and grill try it again, we each had two bloody Mary's , he ordered the angry burger with fry's and I got the cod dinner to go. Waitress stated rolls did not come with the dinner so I asked could I please get two added I will pay for them she stated yes. Clearly stated yes! While we waited for our food we ordered drinks . The first bloody mayrs were amazing , had the olive , 2 pickle slices a lime and cucumber. Three tables were served in the time we waited for our food and two came in after us! So we ordered another drink, this time no veggies in it just refilled plain. Ok no biggie. Food came we got our bill and it was 67. And some change!!!! Like WTF! So we looked at the receipt we were charged both drinks PLUS each veggie ! Like who does that! And we didn't even get any veggies in our second drinks!!!!! We left I looked at our food and my rolls were missing and we had barely any fry's. I went back asked and she said no we don't even have rolls, I stated mam you clearly told me I could order them separate! I said as well we got barely any fry's. She acted like it was an inconvenience to her! Then while I waited she continued to talk about my complaint to I am assuming her husband. So far after just moving here and being a big food critic for upscale companies I would think a small town and they would treat people not only better , but make sure they are taken care of. Needless to say the fry's we got are way under cooked , burger is way burnt , and my fish is as well. A total waste of $70! We should have just went to Arby's! I will say we have had excellent customer service with only 1 waitress there she is the shorter dark haired lady. She has always been kind. But after two bad experiences I would not recommend this place for food or drinks.

    This place is a classic! Once known as BIG AL's PLACE and reopened as Lakeside Bar and Grill. Same great American food menu. Classic watering hole and family style restaurant. Never gets rowdy just a classic roadside stop. Usually you'll find a bunch of locals sitting at the bar. Lots of TVs for sports and what not. They used to have killer soup and salad bar that came with the larger entrees but with COVID you just get a plain choice of soup OR salad. The soups are homemade. I wish I could talk more about their menu but I go there for the biggest piece of Walleye I have ever seen on a plate. A two foot long fish had to die for your supper! And you get half of it. Lightly breaded in a potato crust and pan fried it keeps the fish moist and you can appreciate the taste of the fish! Served with your choice of veggies or potato any way you want it baked, fries or smashed. I have also had their fried cod it good but probably came off a truck. Maybe it's hand battered ask them. Lake perch is yummy too. Always walk away too stuffed for dessert.

They are fully committed to the woodsy, outdoor, rustic vibe while still feeling upscale. Our server was excellent and brought refills consistently and without being asked. We ordered fried mushrooms and spinach and artichoke dip for apps. The fried mushrooms and ranch were AMAZING and also pretty massive. The dip was verryyy cheese forward and was a little goopey, not my fav. The flavor was good, but I wanted it to be creamier and more balanced. It was the only thing we got that wasn't a hit, but not enough to change this from 5-stars! I ordered the Prime Rib with veg and a baked potato. IT WAS AMAZING. My family ordered two pizzas to split; bbq chicken and margarita. The pizzas were delicious and had a perfect crust. Overall so amazing and would totally return when in the area or recommend to others looking for something super tasty with great service and fun decor!

I wish the fireplace actually gave off heat in the room because it was a bit chilly. Dress warmly! The Waiter was very kind and thoughtful refilling our drinks and thinking of everything! He even suggested different options not listed on the menu. (The Alfredo pasta also comes cajun style!) I would strongly recommend Timbers in Cadillac, Mi!!!

    While we were fully prepared to dress up and go to a sports bar for dinner during our girls weekend…read morein Houghton Lake, East Bay Grille gave our group a better option. We made a reservation for 13 on a Saturday and they were ready and waiting for us. The table was prepared and two servers greeted us. The restaurant, located inside of the Springbrook Inn, is a bit difficult to describe. Comfortable with some kitsch, a bit of an upscale family restaurant with a reasonable wine list (also reasonable pricing). The menu is not extensive but hits all of the main American items: steak, seafood, pasta, soup and salad. All of the mains were served with mixed vegetables (zucchini, onion, pepper or sans pepper for me as requested) and a potato (which included rice in the category). We did have two vegetarians in the group and the grill was not very vegetarian friendly. They did offer a stuffed red pepper, which luckily both ordered and enjoyed. The rest of the group had a large variety: cajun pasta, steaks, shrimp, perch and my order of ribs. The cajun pasta had a good flavor and was not at all spicy (this could be a good or bad thing depending on your preferences). The only complaint was that only a lone shrimp was found in the dish (the menu did say shrimp, which while suggesting a plural, was not). Overall everyone enjoyed their meal. I had the ribs as was a bit disappointed. The meat was tender but severely over sauced. I also found the sauce to be average. I did really like the sauteed veggies. I would not agree with the other reviews that the food is outstanding. I felt it was good to above average, depending on the item. The service was five stars. Both servers were friendly and engaging, refilling promptly and were responsive in their check ins. My four stars are based on an overall good experience and the service certainly orchestrated this.

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!!

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.
