Went in on Thursday evening with parents, sister, and grandparents…read more Customer Service was lackluster. When we finished our appetizer they didn't take the plates away and when they served the main course the table got crowded quick. We asked to change the tv channel to the baseball game but we had to ask twice, and then they were not able to change the channel and it took them a long time to change it. We got to see the last out of the game but when we asked it was the 8th inning. Seemed to be an issue between the bartender (where the tv remotes were stored) and the waitresses. This is mainly an issue of management (or lack thereof) since staff did not seem to be on the same page. Appetizer: Cheese Bread Sticks: - Comes with ranch and marinara sauce - Oily, to the point where the cheese was not cooked to where it should be - Crust is nice Usually places that serve "cheese sticks" are mostly bread with some cheese, this place is the opposite where you get a bite full of pure cheese. At least it's a better problem but if they cooked it with much less oil and had a little more bread underneath, it would taste fantastic. Main Dish: Made our own Pepperoni and Pineapple Pizza: - Oily, same as cheese sticks - Slightly undercooked (because of excess oil) - Crust was nice, good dough The reason I gave this a 4/5 was because I have eaten here before and my experience was better. Positives: Seem to have the right ingredients and recipe for success, they just need to pull it together. Good place and atmosphere. Negatives: Oily food (easy to fix), and lack of management. There seems to be no real sense of passion for the food they make, which could be a problem down the road. (Perhaps the chefs are passionate as they have the right ingredients, just need to make the complete dish if you know what I mean, but that is not in the public eye)

The waitress left without asking what we wanted to drink or acknowledging they we were there. mean time Hosteses kid stood at end bar, the owner behind bar chitchat with a customer who was leaving. After ten minutes we left. I am not sure how you don't actually take at least drink order and send out with the hostess. Maybe stop standing behind the bar and ask if we like a drink, two Diet Coke would have been it. I heard place has sold. To the new owner, good service or any service is better then customer not being helped. Maybe hire another waiter and not have a hostess. Or train the hostess to multi task. This place could be a valuable restaurant. We will wait to we hear it has new owners to return

At my current age of 37, I…read morerecollect memories that transcend many ideas of service including the aspect of intelligence from the staff in the form of understanding, as well as their attention to the patrons of the establishment. Every time I've stepped foot into this place, I was met with a hearty hello, or a few hey expressions or a hi there! The patrons of this establishment today were extremely pleasant. I love the atmosphere nowadays as well as how it was in the old days and the fact that it is just a wonderful place to unwind from a few months of stress, or go have a good time on the weekends during the seasons that welcome patrons from around not just Alpena, but Michigan itself as well as some random appearances from people out of state. Overall if I wanted to rate this business I would have to give it a 5 and a half stars out of 5. Truly phenomenal to be a person who enjoys the ambience of a space that resembles awesomeness! Thank you. For reference, no I was not drinking at this establishment before legal age, I actually had enjoyed some food and occasional work as a child such as wiping the bar down or sweeping the floor etc.

Sat for 10 minutes trying to get served and watched 4 people get served again before me before leaving. How sad. Wouldn't recommend if you're not a local.
