A hidden gem in North Michigan!…read more I was visiting Alpena for a diving trip and was recommended this place. Specifically the Fire Burger and their Poutine. Our party was 6, they gave us "outdoor beers" and a pager. When a table opened up we sat down and I was immediately impressed. Our server was friendly and helpful, super sweet. She handled our accommodations (one of my friends had a lot of specific "requests" for his meal.) We got the poutine and mozzarella sticks for our appetizers... holy sh*t.... The poutine was INCREDIBLE. The mozzarella sticks were clearly house made. Just absolute perfection. I took the recommendations of my friend, and got the Fire Burger... insane. If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Great beers. Great apps. Great burger. Just an all round great time. You owe it to yourself to try this spot.... And if you don't think so, you probably hate puppies and America.

They lay those babies out on the same grill they grill everything else on...which is why, that pancake was amazing. Light, fluffy, but most importantly...crazy delicious!

I was struggling to decide between the Prime Rib and the Lasagna. I was prompted to try the lasagna since it was made fresh in house every day. I'm so glad k made this choice!! My only disappointment is the atmosphere - it is always dark and kind of depressing. It is just the style of the restaurant and not my preference. It isn't a knock.

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.
