I asked for my food well done she specifically told me "it comes well done" then brought me out lightly cooked potatoes and sausage when I asked for them well. She did not refill our drinks. She was also very rude when it was time for my children to order. I would come back here but never have her as your waitress. Food was amazing. Atmosphere was nice. But if we could switch waitresses we definitely would. She ruined our experience.

My 17 year old Grandson and I had a dinner late evening on August 3, 2026 when the only hostess,…read moreserver and table busses was a girl named Mallory. Many couples and groups came in after us, filling the reasturant as well as having table outside. Mallory did not complain, just let patrons know in advance that she was the only hostess/server there. She worked hard to make every patrons experience a good one, she was extremely proficient and in control of such a hectic situation. We hope the owners and manager of the Copper Range Depot in Houghton, MI., appreciate Mallory as much as we do.

This appears to be highly recommended place in town while staying on budget. Indeed it was! We had…read morea table on the outdoor patio with lakefront view which elevates the entire meal. Our servers were attentive and helpful, however, we had to wait for almost an hour for the food to arrive given their adequately staff. Hubby ordered the Den burger with burger and I had the shrimp ragotoni. I enjoyed the homemade pasta but the entree was a bit heavy with the cream sauce but it does have great flavors. Love they have KBC beers on tap and the blueberry ale was very refreshing. Overall, this is a solid choice in downtown Houghton with lakeside view and good menu options. Do keep in mind that prices are a bit high given it's in the UP. Also, you pay extra for protein in pasta entrees as well as bread in appetizers that's usually included.

We sat on the patio (dog-friendly!) around 5:30pm on a Tuesday evening. The patio overlooks the…read morewater, and there's about 6-7 tables total. The server told us the specials for the day, and I remember there being a LOT - almost as much as what was on the regular menu! We almost got the chicken wings special, but we ordered the burrata caprese appetizer and added prosciutto for $4. It was good! For entrees, I ordered the duck breast, which seems to be a staple item from here. I ordered it medium rare and it was definitely medium at best, but still tender. It is not a huge portion, and I would've like the skin crispier, but the meat itself had great flavor. It sits on a bed of parsnip puree with a blood orange reduction (a little too sweet and too much of it on the plate for me) and sauteed spinach. It left me just satisfied enough, but still a bit hungry. My fiancé got the flank steak, which was probably around 8 oz but the menu doesn't list it, with french fries and some sauteed vegetables. He said he was actually pleased with the type, portion, and cook on the vegetables. The french fries are that "old-fashioned" style, which I really like! And the chimichurri sauce was fresh and flavorful. The service was mid - sometimes it was fairly quick and attentive, other times we felt like we were waiting a long time to be tended to. For a more local, seasonal, "farm-to-table"-esque meal, this is probably the closest you will get in Houghton. The front desk at our hotel said she heard this restaurant was pricey/expensive, but I thought it was pretty fair!

I followed the recommendations of the waitress for the dinner special, and tried the Dill Pickle Soup. OHHHH MY! I was scraping the bowl at the end. It was that good! Main course was the Smothered Chicken Bowl. It is one of those dishes that hopes you forget your calories and carbohydrates for 24 hours! Very tasty, if a bit too salty. Always ask which desserts are house made? I had the triple layer strawberry cake and barely finished it all. The service was great, not rushed, but simply very welcoming and friendly.

We are seriously cosidering sending this restaurant a bill for our valuable vacation time…read more I thought we hit the jackpot for dinner after a long drive. The place looked inviting, and authentic, and the person working at the register in the bar area was friendly and helpful. But... much to our chagrin, the place was noisy, the food was awful, and the service worse. We order the stuffed portabella mushroom and the grill chicken with Michigan cherries chutney. The mushroom was blah - tasteless. The chicken tasted like airplane food, served with 6 super thin overcooked lame, pathetic, and meager asparagus spears, and an extra side of frozen veggies which were uncooked and blase - no kidding peppers were warm, and broccoli florets super cold. Adding insult to injury, Patty, our server was awful. She was not attentive, served our appetizer and disappeared for over 15 minutes without taking the rest of our order. She forgot the garlic bread that came with the main meal and she Literally threw the two plates with the chicken on our table. Oh, and the Old Fashioned was super sweet and super red, my guess they added grenadine yikes! Out of my over 400 reviews I had never written such negative one. Avoid this place at all cost.

Went there on Friday afternoon, our first time there. It was quite busy but tables still available…read more Two waitresses working and the service was good. I had the perch dinner with french fries and my wife had the two piece broasted white meat chicken with wedge fries. The perch tasted very good, but was tough in some spots. It came with four pieces, fries, coleslaw, and a roll and butter. Fries were OK coleslaw was good and the roll was excellent. My wife's chicken was just OK. She expected to get 2 pieces of breast meat, but instead it was what looked like a thigh and then a wing so that was quite disappointing. Some other reviews compared the chicken to Frankenmuth chicken, but it is by no means anywhere near as good as Frankenmuth. We have been to the Bavarian Inn and Zenders at least 100 times because my grandparents lived there and it doesn't compare to their chicken. The potato wedges were really good and she also got coleslaw and a roll. Restaurant itself was clean and had some nice wainscoting. One of the walls was just T111 siding which was a little different.

A mix of mostly locals and some campers and boaters (we came by boat and parked at the Dreamland dock). Clean restaurant and bathrooms (always appreciated). We ordered the special: fried chicken with past. My husband loved the combo. The pasta sauce was soooooo goooood. Ordering that as a stand-alone dish would be a winner too. The chicken was fried very nice! The sandwich was one of their famous ones but I don't remember the name. It's the last one on the menu. Our friends love this and always come here for it. I got the whitefish. It was delicate and moist. I was a little bummed that the tartar sauce was not homemade because I bet they'd do a great job at it. Instead it was a premade sauce. Great service. Friendly atmosphere. Nice porch to sit on the rocker after dinner and chill for a bit before heading back to the boat. Did I mention how cool- and unique - a public dock that takes you to a restaurant on the Portage is?! 10 points for that alone!
