If you're in or around Cadillac, DGS is a must stop…read more.. This local store is your classic throwback "Up North" market in the woods... The minute you walk in you're going to be hungry, even if you just ate. The house smoked and cured meats can literally be smelled in the parking lot. DGS has everything from local North Michigan specialities to fresh produce and an array of MI butchery products. The star of the show however is all their house made meats... Sausages, brats, jerky, etc., DSG has it all. Plus the staff is super friendly and helpful... Some of the friendliest people we've met in a while. When we're in the Cadillac area again, we will no doubt make a point to get back to DGS to stock up... Two thumbs up.

Unfortunately, when we went, it was dark and appeared to be closed. We also had a really difficult time finding clear, up-to-date information online about their hours, so we honestly weren't sure what happened. I don't want to leave a negative review about the food or service because we never actually made it inside, but it was frustrating to plan on stopping here and not be able to figure out whether they were open. We were really looking forward to it, so hopefully we'll have better luck next time!

You won't be disappointed.

Was recommended to checkout Bortell's but my first major TIP is bring cash or check as they don't accept cards of any kind. We parked on the shoulders / ditches leading up to the location as they only have six parking spots. The line was all the way down the driveway and from the moment I got in line to the moment I left with my food took 50 minutes. When you go inside you stand in a shorter line and order your seafood raw, smoked or fried. I do wish they offered more grilled options as I'm not a huge fan of either smoked or fried fish. We got the Lake Perch, Ocean Perch, Smoked White Fish and Catfish. It was all fresh fish, with a tasting seasoning / batter that wasn't too greasy, though if it was grilled I think I could have enjoyed the flavors in the different fishes better. After you place your order you can take it to go, go across the street to the park or on the left side of the business sit at one of the five picnic tables that are shaded by local trees, minus that one table that's doing its own thing. I will for sure come back like all the rest of the locals and tourists when in the area.

LOVED this store and so glad we found it. Was searching "organic" then put in "upscale" and there it was. Their bulk items are like any Amish-style store you will visit - thoroughly stocked, what you need to get through the winter! Will return again and again as favorite in the area.

Ludington Brewing Company was such a great stop! They had a HUGE selection of beers on tap, and…read morethey were all so good. I had the Hazy and my husband had a West Coast IPA, and both were fabulous. My Hazy was honestly one of the top hazy beers I've had. The menu looked amazing too, and we had such a hard time deciding what to order. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked so good that we actually wished we had more time in Ludington because we would have come back here for dinner again! My husband ordered the Hog Father Burger with fries, and WOW. The burger was absolutely mouthwatering, especially with the pork belly, and I couldn't stop stealing bites from him. The fries were incredibly crunchy and delicious, and the burger was so filling that he couldn't even finish it. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which came out somewhat deconstructed, and I actually thought that was fun. The shrimp was served over rice with pickled red onions, and it came with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and Mexican cheese on the side so you could build them however you wanted. Everything was delicious, but those pickled red onions were especially good! We sat out on the patio, which was a really nice area. The inside was also large and everything was very clean. The only slightly odd part of our visit was our waitress. I'm going to give her some grace because maybe she was just having a bad day, but there were a couple of interactions that felt a little strange, including when we first walked in and the way she spoke to a few people as they were being seated. That said, she was efficient, and I'll take a peculiar waitress who gets the job done over slow service any day! Overall, this was absolutely a 5-star brewery experience. Great beer, fantastic food, a nice patio, a clean and spacious atmosphere, and a menu we wished we had more time to explore. We would definitely come back!
