Yummy! Quick and easy with lots of made in house items, the applesauce is sweet goodness, the mashed potatoes are creamy with some hints of potato pieces and all as it should be. Looking forward to returning as they rotate nightly. Waitress was amazing, Kasey is the name on our ticket. Tables all attended to and quick to take the order and fetch the meal. Full bar, busy comfortable dining area that can get a tick loud. Good find. read more

Wow what a great place out in the country! We were on our way to the Dunes to go 4-wheeling and decided to stop for lunch. So glad we did! Delicious food! Great service! She was friendly and efficient! The rustic ambiance was very fitting! read more

Great service and big portions! On our way to the dunes we stopped here for lunch. The restaurant is clean and staff is friendly. We were seated at a booth and given a menu. They had a nice selection of food plus lots of sides to choose from instead of fries. I tried the bbq pork with coleslaw. Sandwich was big with lots of meat. My husband had the perch dinner which he said was delicious. Lots of parking and they serve alcohol. read more

Don't order taco salad. It's a puffed up fried flour tortilla with soggy lettuce topped with an overwhelming amount of taco meat covering the thing. No resemblance of a salad at first look. The place was busy, so evidently it is well liked. Waitress was just fine, she was clearly busy. My Bloody Mary was good. Husband's fried perch looked and tasted fine the healthiest item on his plate was the baked potato. read more

Great food and excellent service! The carrot cake is so good! They have no pre-made food! read more

Everything we got was just super good would recommend not real cheap but not real expensive either you get what you pay for everything good

We have been to this restaurant several times and had a delicious meal but today was a totally different story. I had a French dip sandwich. The meat was so dry and tough. The sandwich was so gritty that pieces of meat here , and there. My husband ordered a jalapeno bacon hamburger. She asked how he wanted , and he said , medium rare. It is very obvious they do not know what medium is. The drive waitress was snotty , and said we should have said something. You can't tell me about the cook.Did not know the hammer grow was overcooked. And the french d*** was horrible . They acted like it was no big deal, which is fine?Because i'm in everybody I know about my experience. It was so sad , but didn't bother them. I wouldn't even give them a half a star , but it's their loss read more

Ordered steak medium and came out well done. If this was first time there, it would have been my last time there. Service was friendly. Recommend but don't get steak, everything else I have had there was good read more

Restaurant is very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Plenty of seating with room between the tables. Our server Abby was great! Polite and attentive without being bothersome. We ordered the onion rings for an appetizer and they were phenomenal! For main course we ordered the sizzler and coconut shrimp. The shrimp and sides were all great. The sizzler was done to order and tender, although not seasoned well and lacked some flavor. We also ordered strawberry cheesecake and carrot cake for dessert. The cheesecake was really good but the carrot cake, delicious! My wife and I joked about coming back and just getting onion rings and carrot cake! read more

I had their Brussels sprout soup, Alfredo and carrot cake all were absolutely amazing! I only gave it 4 stars because of the server. The food was on point! read more

We didn't expect this to be as good as it was! Situated in a rural area near an orchard and a BP station, this is a comfortable open dining room setting and very friendly service. We started with a full "foot" of onion rings. They have to be the best I've ever had. Huge slices of battered fried onions served with ranch dressing. Delicious! My huge black bean burger was accompanied by local made apple sauce (Mott's doesn't hold a candle to this). My husband had the BLT with slaw. His sandwich was huge and delicious. Overall, it was a pleasant visit on a gorgeous sunny day. read more

We were happy with our meal! Here on a getaway. Husband had the Hot Beef, which was huge and made with homemade mashed potatoes. I had the hamburger, which was excellent--nice char and perfectly medium-rare. The onion rings were as good as reported! Half foot was just right for the two of us. Our server was very sweet and helpful. We'd definitely come back next time we're in the area. read more

The service for our table of six was decent. Our waiteress seemed rushed the whole time, but got all orders correct. Food was meh; a couple burgers were over done. The decor made the restaurant feel older than it is and the drop squares on the ceiling are interesting. read more

Came here for dinner. We've been here 15 minutes and no one has even came to the table yet to offer us a drink or anything.

Was recommended to come here by our fishing guide. It is a family-friendly place, friendly and prompt service from our waitress. The food was amazing fish was everything I expected after having an ok experience with fish somewhere else this place is awesome also the fried asparagus was something I didn't even know I needed in my life. Great food and service experience. read more

Long waits because of a busy kitchen when the restaurant was only half full. Took 25 minutes to get fried pickles.

4th July had no filets...ran out apple juice...WTH guys? Normally everything is great.....

Rather disappointed, I've been here before but been awhile and had a good meal. Last night, not so much. Wasn't crowded and was seated right away. Server took awhile to get us drink orders, then took a while to get back to take Food order. Ordered meal and then waited and waited. When salads finally showed, They came at the same time as meal because ..."server was way behind" in her words. Worse was that both meals were lightly warm, closer to cold. The prime was tough with a rather large hunk of fat Hopefully just a bad night but not too sure I'll be back read more

Quite avg food. Easy going staff and big sit in area. I wish a better bbq sauce was used for burgers.

Very clean, no dirt or grime anywhere, and nice fireplace. Service was excellent, our waitress was very kind, and so was the two young girls at the cash register, and the other young girl who was cleaning tables and clearing our plates. The food was amazing, not as good as my mom's, but still delicious! Probably one of my most favorite places to come to eat at when we head up to the dunes! read more

Great home cooked meal to warm your inside and fill you up. My favorite is the homemade goulash. I decided to try something different today. Chicken strips were yummy! Not the frozen stuff. Husband had the Prime Rib and reported the same yumminess. Service is hit or miss. Today we had a great server! read more

You'll get no picture from the food. I ate it all! It was very good. I ordered a Monterrey Sandwich. The restaurant was clean. Service was good. Food was delicious and filling. read more

We stopped here for dinner after some time on the lakeshore. Lots of ample parking (we had trucks and trailers) down by the gas station. Our waitress was delightful. And the food was amazing. I had the Prime rib special. And it was some of the best I have had in awhile. Everyone at our table thoroughly enjoyed their meals. We will certainly be back next time we are up that way! read more

Great service. Delicious food. Quick service. A very nice local restaurant. I would definitely come back whenever I'm in town. read more

Always fast and friendly. Fried asparagus in the summer is the best! The perch dinners are amazing

Always received good food, especially liked the pulled pork sandwich. Can be busy during peak summertime read more

Open Hearth did a great job on my takeout order today. It was ready right when I asked for it, and it was delicious. We had the Cuban and Open Hearth burger. The onion rings were incredible!! Also, the dining room is really cool. I would enjoy eating here when it opens. read more

Amazing steak!! In from out of town and drove past this place a few times but didn't stop because of the odd location (connected to a gas station), after seeing how popular it was I ended up stopping for dinner which was the best decision ever! I ordered the steak, soup of the day, fries, and fried pickles which were all spectacular! This is most definitely the best restaurant in town, the waiters are super friendly, prices are awesome, and food is even better! read more

My wife & I drove down from Pentwater to sample the local cuisine in Hart. As we took Rt. 35 I noticed that we were in asparagus country, with many fruit orchards. The friday specials included 8/16 oz. Prime Rib or a combo plate with a 6 oz. Lobster Tail. We ordered the beef and the fried asparagus appetizer. The asparagus is really good, with light batter. If your kids like onion rings, this is something the whole family can enjoy. Our prime rib arrived and my 16 oz cut was med-rare. Unfortunately, my wife's smaller cut was the same size but half the thickness. It's very hard to cook a thin piece of meat without overcooking it & hers was medium-ish. Tip#2, get the bigger cut! For an extra $3, its worth it. The salad & baked potato were good and overall we had a very good meal here. read more

The quality of food has drastically changed for the worse. New management hasn't improved things.

Very good food and service. Portions are large also. We go there often when we want to eat out. read more

This place had the most amazing food! Everything we had (party of 5) was excellent! Server was friendly and quick, even with several tables. I'm from out of town, but if I'm ever up this way again I would definitely return. read more

Great food! I had the rib eye steak and it was cooked perfectly as ordered and had a great taste. My wife ordered the shrimp and hers was also very good and plentiful. We have driven past this place many times before and one of the locals said to go here as they had many menu options to pick from. Specials today was steak and lobster, smelt, ribeye steak, and coconut shrimp. Everyone in my group was happy with their order and the wait staff was prompt and friendly. We will be coming back the next time in town. read more

Excellent service and the food is great. Brenda was outstanding! Super friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend coming to this place. Not busy and got seated right away. All the staff is incredibly friendly. read more

My Daughter went there for a Birthday Party celebration and we went for dinner. Th food was excellent! Started out with a Bloody Mary, Huge and spicy just the way we like it. Then we had fried pickles and the Buffalo Soup, that would have been fine for the meal...delicious!! But we order the Rib-eye Steak and the Walleyed fish....again delicious! We had left overs, needless to say. Wonderful dining experience. It was busy, but a very spacious dining-room and bar area. I loved the chatter of the other families enjoying their dinners as well. Not so crowded that you were smashed in to fill space. Definitely a family friendly restaurant. That will be our spot to eat when we go again. The staff was busy, but very friendly. Five stars across the board!! Thank you!! read more

We frequently get take out from the Open Hearth. Today our food was not edible or even qualified as a meal. Portions for a meal were barley a kids size. We called back and asked for a refund or exchange. The owner was super rude and was making it sound like I was at fault. Will be spending money elsewhere from now on, which is sad due to our past love for this place. read more
