So crispy they could double as Olympic gymnastic rings (if you could stop eating them long enough to try). The vibes are right up my alley.. there's a shaggy shepherd "watch dog" who clearly runs the place from his post on the deck. Don't be fooled, he's not just there for security... he's making sure you don't drop any fries. The person who took our order was hilarious! 10/10 would let her roast me while handing over my food again. The Lions game was playing next door and we were able to watch while still eating outside. If you're looking for good food, good laughs, and a side of doggy cuteness, this is the spot.

I love hotdogs and like to think of myself as an expert. I will drive hundreds of miles just to try one. In this instance, I drove 200 miles round trip, just to try Toby's Windy City ( Chicago dog ). Also ordered was a chili dog for my friend and tour guide and a plain, no bun dog for my friends dog, which there was no charge for! My friend and his dog gobbled theirs right down! Me, I was trying to get my phone to work so I could take pictures. No luck with that . Anyway, I would call my Chicago dog exceptional with just a few things needing to be done. 1. Toast that bun! It keeps it from getting soggy. Mine totally fell apart with the first bite. 2. It was on a regular bun not poppy seed. Maybe that's why it was called a Windy City dog 3. The dog could have been a bit hotter for me, I like mine well done. With those few things, I would still have to say that Toby's Dog House, is in for another visit from me!

We were greeted warmly by the staff when we entered and we were directed to a sandwich menu with more options than I have ever seen (40, i believe). Neither of us were super hungry so my wife ordered a mini turkey and I ordered a small club. After waiting about 10 minutes I was called up to pick up a bag that I swear was filled with bricks. The sandwiches are huge! The bread was perfect, every ingredient was fresh, and the taste was incredible. I've been eating subs for over 5 decades and this was one of the best I've ever had- even though I couldn't eat half of it.

I didn't get a photo because we ate them too fast! Just do yourself a favor and stop here for lunch or dinner and your stomach will thank you!

Liked the addition of the Korean beef option, which is more like a teriyaki marinade and shaved beef than the traditional cumin seasoned ground beef. Flour tortillas grilled and the yum yum sauce is a slightly sweet but also a little spicy sour cream & red pepper sauce. Bonus- they take cards and Apple Pay through square. Only challenge was sometimes hearing the order card being called - so we needed to stay close to the truck for that.

I ordered a large BLT with mayo, and I've never seen so much bacon on a sandwich. This wasn't a few strips--it was literally stacked with bacon, plus fresh lettuce, juicy tomato, and just the right amount of mayo. Every bite was excellent. Others in our group ordered the turkey club, and it was just as impressive, absolutely packed with fresh meat. At around $17 for a large sub, it was a great value. A sub this size and quality would easily cost quite a bit more back home in Connecticut. D&M Subs is a true local gem. If you're anywhere near Gladstone, don't skip it.

Our camping trip weekend in the UP began on a Friday and that meant...FRIDAY FISH FRY, as is…read moretradition up here. The closest and best option nearby for fish fry was Mona & Co, according to my friend who was in our camping group and has lived in the UP for all her life. Mona & Co is such a fun set up as it is the restaurant that is located at the Indian Lake Golf Course, so your view from the restaurant is to the entire golf course and in the very distance you can see Indian Lake as well. One room of this restaurant is the dining room and the other is where the bar is with a couple of high top tables. The dining room looked pretty full, so we sat at the high tops near the bar and informed the hostess that we were going to be sitting there but wanting to both eat and drink, which they said was fine. Overall, the food was yummy - I was glad to have been able to experience a traditional UP fish fry. The ambiance of this place was very odd though. It's very casual, very unique characters coming here to dine, and because of that blend of golfers and people just coming to dine, it was just an interesting mix all around. The service was very slow given that they had a full house, but basically one person running around taking all the orders and running to and from the bar to grab drink orders as well. It took quite a while (over half an hour) after we sat down before we could even place our food order and then quite a bit longer as we waited for food. The bar we could walk up to ourselves and get a drink, so didn't need to wait on that. We were able to do plenty of people watching though and that's why I have a ton of observations of the people who came through these rooms. The bartenders were very friendly and very young. Some drink orders that came in they would need to ask older customers about how to make as they were also a little bit clueless - e.g. someone ordered a drink "straight up" and they weren't sure if that meant with or without ice and gave them their drink with a side of ice just in case! Overall, we weren't in any rush and I was starving by the time the food came, so happily ate it all and were on our way back to the campground for our camping weekend!
