the entrance to the restaurant
Megan G.

Great service, diverse menu with excellent featured specials everytime we come in. We have cottage 15 mi away so regularly come here in the summer and are never disappointed. My go- to on the regular menu is the shrimp salad- the lemon vinaigrette is amazing. My most recent favorite was a pork belly vermicelli bowl- the sauce on it would be great on the rice bowl they offer as well

The best restaurant in the state of Michigan bar none. The waitstaff and owner are all A + in my humble opinion. The French Onion Soup is the best, they have the best Margaritas ever and the burgers are to die for. Please, don't stop at Flint, Detroit or any tourist spots along the way. Make it quick to Rachel's before you get lost in the snow and black ice on the cold Michigan highway. Make it to the county seat of Lake Huron and stop by for the best burgers and drinks in the area!

Birthday dinner and a lovely dessert!!!

Loved it all! our server Macy was on point! We had a a rib eye, and chicken piccata and Tuesdays fajitas..... id add photos but we ate it all so quick!

Broasted Mushrooms
Kathleen A.

Been here twice. I understand why this place is popular in bad axe, interior is cozy. Dress code is casual. Service on both occasions showed that they rotate tables quickly. First time here I had the teriyaki chicken. The description mentioned it was marinated in teriyaki. It was drizzled on the chicken over rice, not marinated, which was moderately disappointing as the marinade would have added to the tenderness of the chicken, a certain level of umami, and really been a "flavor bomb" to the whole dish. I also thought the pairing of Brussels sprouts was unconventional. We ended up coming back, to give this place a second try, and I was able to capture photos. I got the broasted mushrooms which were pretty good, I was surprised as to how much flavor was captured in each bite. Though I recommend eating them quickly as the amount of water that was retained ended up making them soggy after 5-7 minutes. For the entree, I got the prime rib that was written on the "specials" board. It is hard to mess up a good piece of meat. Flavor was enhanced with mushrooms and onions, though I was dissatisfied with the plating. As you can see here, it was sitting in a pool of the juices from the meat. At a traditional steak house it would be sitting on a dry plate, and the juices "Au Jus" would be in a cup on the side. The reason this is important is so the integrity of the sides wouldn't be waterlogged. The experience of the food the second time showed me why this place can get busy.

Ribeye Stake, mashed potatoes and Asparagus! Melts in your mouth!

One of the best stakes I've had! The stake came out hot and cooked exactly like I like it! The service was outstanding! Amber keeps my water glass full and was very polity. The place is very clean with a nice setting. When I'm back in this area I'll definitely be back!

Spring rolls!

We ate here on the way back from a port Austin weekend. After we got seated it took quite a while…read morebefore a waitress came over to get our drink orders. For a while the waitresses stood around we could see them looking in our direction so maybe they were trying to figure out who's table we were. They did seem a little bit disorganized when it came to that. The waitress was very friendly and took our drink order and then when she brought the drinks she did not bring our napkins and silverware so my friend was unable to stir his coffee. It actually took quite a while until we were able to catch the waitress after that. I understand many of the waitresses and other restaurant employees are over worked and understaffed so I do get the situation. I guess I'm thinking if they were a little more organized they could have more efficient service. Just my opinion for what it's worth!! I got the egg white omelette with American fries and dry rye toast and it was actually very good other than one piece of the toast was burnt. My friend got the country special that came with eggs, choice of meat, biscuits and gravy. He said the bacon wasn't all that good but everything else was fine. The ladies room was clean but my friend said the men's restroom was terrible.

This place is so stinkin' cute and has such a great vibe, which was very surprising given that…read moreeverything in the main part of Port Austin was just very small-town, quaint vibes. Bird Creek really stood out on its own as having a unique classy, farmhouse style to it that just really set the mood for a good time & I was pretty obsessed with the luscious vines of hops gently swaying with the breeze! The waitstaff here is completely amazing, especially during COVID. The patio seating everywhere was so wonderful, and there was also tons of bar space as well. It's open, it's airy, and you can walk the grounds and check out their greenhouses while you wait, if you need to wait. A true farm to table! The food was absolutely spectacular as well! We got the charcuterie board, which we thoroughly enjoyed, before the bees descended and also thoroughly enjoyed haha. But the waitstaff said that normally the bees were not this "friendly," and that they were only really all up in our businesses because it had rained the day before. But our waiter quickly cleared the board away from us and redirected the bees away from the patio, which is just another testament to how wonderful the waitstaff is! Definitely try the miso portobello burger too! I'm not even vegetarian/vegan and it was honestly SO DELICIOUS! I'm still thinking about it days later! If I ever find myself in the thumb of Michigan again, I will DEFINITELY be stopping by here again!

Well, dang, this was good. I was just looking for a place that served alcohol and had food. Boy,…read moredid we ever come to the right place. It doesn't look like much from the outside - something like a hole in the wall bar - but inside it's roomy, and everything looks like it was recently updated. One nice touch is that you are right on Lake Huron: get a table near the window so you can admire nature's beauty while you eat. The prices are extremely reasonable, and best of all the food is very good. The 1/3 pound burger was beefy and tasty. I asked for Swiss, and I was told that they accidentally put American cheese on it, so they put Swiss on top of it, no extra charge. Nice. The onion rings don't look like anything special, But they're tasty and crispy. The waitress told us at the grilled chicken sandwich is the only thing on the menu that isn't fried or a burger. My wife got that, and it was good, but not nearly as good as the burger. Alicia was the bartender and also our server. It was slow when we came in, so she spent time talking to us. This made for a perfect experience here: great food, great prices, and great company. We will seriously drive out of our way to come back here again. You will need a navigator app on your phone to find it, since it's pretty out-of-the-way, but it's worth the trip.
