    A must find in Gaylord, Michigan
    Paula W.

    Being from Texas ( ordering steak ) we were a little skeptical. The ambience certainly did not match the appearance as we could have stayed long after the meal to enjoy. I must say there is nothing disappointing about this place. From the service to the menu options. This is a DO NOT MISS on our list upon return.

    The food was absolutely amazing! The nachos were incredible! Honestly everything we got was!! When I picked up a rib to eat it.... the meat literally fell off of the bone, and this is in no way an exaggeration I'm so serious!! Best ribs I have ever had and my fiancé said the same! 1000/10 recommend!

    Lamb Gryo with fries

    As soon as we pulled in you could smell the food, and it smelt amazing! The place was fairly busy, but the host was quick to seat us and the server was quick to come greet us. The drinks from the bar really hit the spot, however the second one was a tad strong (not complaining though)... I got the Lamb Gyro, which was HIGHLY recommended. My date got the Haus burger, and that was just as amazing... by the time we walked in, got drinks, ate, and left, we spent a good hour and a half. Expect to spend some money, but trust me, totally worth it! Definitely will return again! Don't forget to try the alligator bites! SO DELICIOUS!

    Great prime rib. Outstanding service. Always 5 star! The best restaurant in Gaylord MI

    Ribeye, rice pilaf and mashed with gravy
    Ryan L.

    Imagine an Applebees but under a local name. The good: awesome atmosphere, incredibly friendly staff and by appearances in the dining area and bathroom relatively clean. The gravy on the mashed potatoes was excellent! And all of these areas are critical to a rating so kudos for this! The ok: ribeye and sides. While cooked to the temperature I ordered the ribeye was way more "chewy" than it should've been. The sides were flavorful. The bad: the wedge salad was off. Couldn't pinpoint if it was the lettuce, the bacon or the dressing but both sides of the wedge were tried and both tasted off. Would try again but would be a little more cautious with what we order.

    Great food, great service, clean environment. We will definitely be coming back. My favorite is the crab dip!

    Good food and good service on a busy night. There were many snowmobilers there on a frigid night

    Terrible service! Waiter is more concerned hanging out with the servers than taking care of the guest. Nice guy but damn!

    The good: the ambiance is beautiful and the service is amazing. We had a really excellent server!…read more The bad: the food was SO subpar, especially for the prices. 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. The mushroom pasta was not good at all. It was so unbelievably bland. Over $40 for the most bland pasta I've ever had. I am not sold at this point in coming back. Again, the service was amazing! The food was not worth it for the price.

    A characteristic of a great restaurant is; Fresh Quality Food, Servers and Staff who are long…read moreterm, Great Ambiance and established clientele. 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.
