    Local brewed beer

    Stopped by today for early dinner. We were pleasantly delightfully greeted by Cora our hostess. She thanked us for coming in. Our hostess was friendly and provided excellent service. Paul's is a hidden gem. The pictures don't even come close to the quality and tastefulness of our dinners. And exceptional experience. Significantly Exceeded all of our expectations!!!!!

    WOW! Grab a chair and relax as I take you on a lengthy review of how great this place is and to test how much good one is allowed by yelp to write about a dining establishment. If you don't have to patience to read my novel- come on in the food is good and the service is even better. Being featured in Martha Stewart Living for their Perch basket, this should be on everybody's radar and everyone's "go-to" place while traveling in northern Michigan. A tourist destination for sure, with the walls decorated in antlers and stuffed game. The cabin feel makes this the perfect up north dining destination. Guys night out? Huge bar in the center of the restaurant and plenty of pull tabs and keno to play. Just about a 15 minute drive from downtown Gaylord and you won't regret the small town charm this place brings. Stopped in with my family and had a great experience. Being a weekday at 5 this place was not busy at all. Parking lot is huge and has a gas station next to it so if you snowmobile this would be a great winter dinner spot. My wife ordered the wings and potato skins, and I ordered the half perch basket. My kids went with the kids quesadilla and the grilled cheese. Some of the best made kids meals I have seen in awhile, I would order the quesadilla for myself... and yes the kids menu has plenty of kids options, even the pickiest eater (my child) had options... More on the food... The wings were a 10/10. Crispy and tossed in a mild hot sauce. This place has an entire broasted chicken section and feature a wing Wednesday special. And yes, 10x better than Buffalo Wild Wings. My perch basket is a show stopper. No question why this was featured in Martha Stewart. Lightly battered, flakey, and delicious. The perch basket comes with 2 sides and a roll for a great price. We ordered potato skins as a appetizer and these were not skimpy in anyway, just look at the picture and you can see that there was a pound of crispy bacon on top. And the service! We had the pleasure of being in Linda's section... and she has to be the nicest, most thoughtful server we have ever had. From Bringing out kids crayons and asking if we wanted chocolate milk immediately you could tell she understood what it's like to dine with young children and wanted us to enjoy our time. She went the extra step and put the Welch's fruit snacks in my coat pocket knowing not to give them wind of the scent of these prized snacks. She went the extra mile to make sure we had everything we needed down to wipes for the kids or maybe for me after digging into the wings. 6 stars out of 5 stars. The friendly locals just add to how tremendous of a place is truly is.

    Pretty fabulous. I had perch dinner. Delicate and flavorful. Husband had broasted chicken. Wow... $7 for 4 pieces and 2 sides. Coctails & wine excellent. Fabulous service. Rustic interior.

    This place is a must if your visiting Gaylord or driving through! If you love sweet potato fries, you'll love these. My go to order is always the lake perch & sweet potato fries. The tartar sauce is awesome and you can tell how fresh the fish is and also love how the fish is not over fried. All served with a warm roll and salad to start. Hidden gem.

    onion rings in a basket

    Awesome broasted chicken, hand buttered cod and hand battered onion rings with jalapeño ranch dressing. Chicken was juicy! Great service too! Will be back!1

    Cold salads ... delicious cod. bacon blue cheese burgers to die for! The best fresh fried mushrooms I've ever had my cup never went dry

    This place has been a local favorite for years, and it truly shows. From the moment I walked in, I…read morewas greeted with friendly service and a cozy, vintage atmosphere that feels welcoming to both locals and tourists. I grabbed some delicious snacks to keep me going and had the chance to try a few local beers. Each sip was a delightful taste of the area! The decor is charming and adds to the nostalgic vibe, making it the perfect spot to relax and soak in the memories shared by those who frequent it. What did I have? - Widowmaker, Black IPA 5% ABV Keweenaw Brewing Company - Horny Monk, Belgian Style Ale 6.9% ABV Petoskey Brewing - Fried Mushrooms - Fried Cheese Curds - Coconut Shrimp

    Let's be very clear--this is a local's place…read more FOOD: The portions are plentiful! I ordered cheese curds and a burger with fries...but in hindsight I should have skipped the fries. Curds were enough for a table of four. Overall taste of the food, however, is average. Despite being a good looking B&B Burger, the bacon was burnt and the burger itself didn't have much seasoning. I expected to bite in tasting a medley of flavors, but each bite was just okay. Maybe if I had a yeasty beverage or two before eating, it might help raise my opinion? TABLE SERVICE: Waitresses were prompt and helpful. BARTENDERS: Remember those honey badger YouTube videos (narrated by Randall) from 2011/12? That's what I think of when I read Yelper reviews from Brittany H. and Jay V. [in the voice of Randall]: *Mitchell Street bartenders don't care; they do what they want!* For example, when the popular 80s song, Your Love by the Outfield, came on, the 'tender on duty decided to turn it up to 11...and left it there for half the song. Locals seemed unfazed, but visitors got to the point they asked the waitress if they could turn it down. I'm guessing he didn't much care for the feedback, because he then played the song twice more. *If you're up for a rowdy atmosphere with an array of local beverages + solid bar food, I encourage you to step into this windowless venue! If you're looking for a nice, sit down meal and great tasting main dishes (OR you're allergic to peanuts)...best walk to Tap 30 next door.

The mushroom soup was just okay. There was too much pepper in the soup. The hot toddy was a good drink. The elk meatloaf was just okay. The bbq sauce was a little too sweet.

We have been dining at Bennethum's for 15+ years based on all of these. The best upscale, (but not pretentious) option in the Gaylord area. Josh and his family go the extra mile to insure their guests feel welcome and receive great service. On our most recent visit, I had the Perch, a menu staple. Always fresh, lightly dusted and flash fried, nice portion and great flavor. Accompanied with jasmine rice and green beans. My wife had the BNI Blue Wedge Salad, blue cheese dressing , applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, onion, with shrimp added for protein. Shrimp were plump, juicy and flavorful. And a meal is not complete without a loaf of their BNI bread. :) Great cocktails, warm ambiance. Be sure to check them out when in Gaylord area.
