We are on a family vacation to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This included my daughter in law…read moreand granddaughter visiting the area for the first time in their lives. We wanted to visit Escanaba to see a beach, at Ludington Park, and a view of Lake Michigan, more or less (of the bay). We wanted to find a nice, casual dining place for 5 adults and our five year old. My son looked online and suggested Hereford and Hops. They seemed to have a good variety of food and a location less than a mile from the park. When you walk in the sign asks you to wait to be seated. Our server greeted us and took us to our table. She took the beverage order and made sure the child beverage had a lid to it. The menu has a variety of options, including appetizers, dinner salads, pizza, pasta, and entrees and daily specials. It was Wednesday and the special was a half rack of BBQ ribs and a potato. They had fish and seafood options, and my wife and I chose breaded shrimp. My Daughter in law wanted the BLT with a side of in-house homemade potato chips and a dish of French onion dip. My granddaughter requested the children's burger and fries. All of the entrees came with a choice of garden or Caesar salad. I believe all of the dressing and sauces were made in-house. We also ordered fried cheese curds, with marinara, and potato skins. Once the order was placed, it felt like we were waiting for the appetizers for awhile. One son said, I hope they don't just bring everything at once. But the appetizers did arrive first and they were very good. The salad I ordered was the Caesar. It was chopped Romaine, shredded parmesan, and croutons. Our server said that the croutons were made in-house, and so was my wife's Ranch dressing, so I assume they made the Caesar dressing, too. The point is making items from scratch suggests either unique flavor or fresh quality. The croutons were toasted bread, the size of game dice, with no seasonings I could see or taste. The Caesar dressing lacked the tangy flavor of bottled dressing. My romaine lettuce was chopped okay but some of the ends were a little brown. I was glad I passed on the Chicken Caesar entree salad. My wife said her garden salad and ranch dressing was very good. It had other greens and no romaine. The entrees were all very good. The rib dinners were, reportedly, cooked perfectly. One person felt the sauce was perfect, the other said it tasted great but there was too much of it. My wife and I had breaded shrimp. Again, I assume they made the cocktail sauce in-house. And we both had the same reaction, which was it tasted great but somehow had no coating quality on the shrimp. I dipped mine and it came up looking like it was dripping tomato juice, but tasted great. My Daughter in law loved the BLT, and the taste of the homemade potato chips. She thought they were cut a little thick, but shared with everyone else, who thought they were fine. Everyone raved about the onion dip. We had a great meal, pleasant service, even if it felt a little slow at the start. I suggest you try H &H if you're in the mood for good food, casual atmosphere and reasonable prices.

The lobster bisque was perhaps the BEST I've ever had. The steakhouse salad in cherry vinaigrette had a very subtle flavor but balance well. The T-bone was cooked perfectly to medium rare and married well with the whipped garlic butter. The brussel sprouts were a little under done but were flavorful and perfectly sweet. The mushrooms risotto was a nice side but about what you'd expect so nothing special. My ONLY complaint was that the service was a little underwhelming. I waited for my coke to be refilled nearly 10 minutes each time. Waitress only check back on me once and another tattooed waitress completely ignored me when I attempted to get her attention.

For sides, the potatoes that came with the entrée were delicious, and the Brussels sprouts were incredible--crispy and full of flavor!

When we arrived for lunch, we were the only people in the dining room (even though they'd been open for a while), but we ended up being served after quite a few of the tables who came in after us. We also had a very hard time getting our drinks refilled. We ordered burgers and soup and salad, with a cheese fondue appetizer, but we ended up being in the restaurant itself for more than two hours because of the wait. However, the food itself was great. The hamburger I ordered was the best I've had in at least a year. It's also build-your-own, and the prices are reasonable. The smoked gouda cheese fondue was served with cut up grilled-cheese sandwich and was delicious. My mother said that the French onion soup was quite good. The tab was only about $30 for lunch and drinks for three people. The food is easily four-star, maybe five for the area, but waiting for more than an hour for lunch on a Saturday in a casino with a hotel just isn't good practice.

Morels were in season, so we were able to add them to the steak and both were delicious. I particularly loved the salt plate the steak was served on. So much flavor!! The salad was good and the oysters were also good. We ordered the pecan praline dessert that I thought was ok. I probably would have liked something else for dessert. I definitely didn't care for the Brussels sprouts. I'd recommend getting some other side dish. I loved being able to look outside from our perch within the restaurant. From that perspective, I thought our table was fantastic. Service there was fine.
