I'd been here once a number of years ago, at which time this place was truly a dive. Walls were…read morecovered in very well-worn carpet, the place was almost too dim to see in (in the afternoon), the beer selection was very poor. I think I had a Blatz. I didn't order food--I could do just as well eating something off the sidewalk, I thought. Inspired by the good reviews here, I went back this week. What a change! New wood paneling on the walls, a very clean atmosphere overall with lots of natural light. And good craft beers. I ordered the chicken-bacon-ranch salad and was impressed. Lettuce was fresh and finely cut, meat was tender and generously portioned, with enough bacon to provide an accent but not dominate the salad. Salads at small bar-and-grill operations are sometimes a dicey bet, but Mio Saloon nailed it. Don't get me wrong--this place hasn't been yuppified. It's still a down to earth small town bar catering to a biker clientele. It also seems to be a spot where locals just meet to have lunch and chat, dragging the kids along. The vibe might be different at night. I get up to Mio a few times a year, and I plan to find out next time I do.

I visited this place about a year ago on a whim. Went up to my friends cottage in Comins and…read morearrived a bit earlier than them. I was hungry and had time to kill so I figured I would stop in the only bar in town. I walked in wearing my business casual attire as I had left straight from work for this trip. Sure, I got the immediate record stop/skip, turnaround and stare from everyone, but that was expected; this is a small town, afterall. While I did get the staredown, I never felt uncomfortable as I sat by myself at the bar. Hell, even a couple patrons talked to me for a bit! This place had a surprisingly decent amount of craft beer on tap. I think I was drinking some sort of IPA from Rochester Mills or Griffin Claw. Beer was cold and priced very well. During my few days in Comins, I visited Knot Hole probably 4-5 times. While we all mostly drank up there, we did order some food. I personally had some sort of sandwich the first visit. Don't recall exactly what it was but it was pretty good! Another night I decided to order their hawaiian pizza since I heard it was different than any other. Well, it came out with maraschino cherries on it, along with the standard ham and pineapple. It was surprisingly delicious and even had a drunken friend say "it saved my life". At any rate, I am making my yearly trip back up here soon and am definitely stopping by again!

My boyfriend and I stopped by Walkers for the breakfast buffet one Saturday morning before canoeing…read morethe Ausable River. It was phenomenal!! The homemade jams were outstanding, and the owner, who made them himself, suggested we put it on the pancakes. We came back for burgers at the bar that night and then breakfast again the next morning. Walkers is unlike any other restaurant -- it sits preserved in time with original decor from the '40's or 50's when it was built. We loved the vibe of the place and will continue to patronize it on our trips to Northern Michigan. Update: The owner is now 85 and still cooking it all himself.

The first time we were just trying to get in and there were people in the way. The second time we were in but they were yelling at people behind us.

I don't know where they want you to stand.My cousin ordered a daqueri and the girl making the drink had a fit. People go out to eat to enjoy themselves not to be yelled at and betrated.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted like you belong there, whether it's your first time or your hundredth. The staff is genuinely kind and attentive, and you can tell they care about the people who come through the door. The drinks are strong, the prices are fair, and the atmosphere is exactly what you want after a long day--laid-back, unpretentious, and full of good conversation. It's the kind of place where you can catch up with friends, meet new people, or just sit back and relax without any pressure. There's something special about a bar that feels like the heart of a community, and this is definitely one of those places. It's not trying to be trendy or flashy--it's just real, and that's what makes it so great. Highly recommend if you're looking for a genuine, feel-good spot.
