Onion rings were not hot( maybe the warmer isn't working well? Walleye had an oily feel and taste though the fish was very good. Coleslaw was fine; nothing special.

A Hidden Gem on Big Bay de Noc!…read more We visited The Dock at Bay Ridge on a sunny Thursday in late July during our trip from Philadelphia -- and what a memorable find! This rustic log cabin restaurant with cozy lodge vibes and an unbeatable view of Big Bay de Noc completely won us over. As a food-loving family, we were blown away by the quality. I had the bacon cheeseburger, and it was perfection -- juicy, cooked exactly right, with a soft, buttery bun that took it to the next level. My wife and daughter split the cheese flatbread pizza, which was generous, gooey, and had that magic balance of soft center and crisp edges. We started with pretzel bites that were warm, soft, and chewy -- everything you want in a comfort appetizer -- paired with creamy, rich beer cheese. For drinks, a perfectly chilled Blue Moon hit the spot while our daughter loved her sweet lemonade. The service deserves a review of its own: some of the friendliest staff we've met on our travels. Our waitress was prompt, sweet, and genuinely attentive from start to finish. We sat on the patio with an amazing view of the water -- peaceful, scenic, and the perfect setting for a relaxing evening. We're already talking about coming back on our next visit to the UP. Highly recommend stopping here if you're anywhere near Garden, MI!

As a solo eater this evening, I naturally ordered an appetizer and a burger, to get that full bar food effect. The appetizer was five (5) breaded jalapeño poppers. Those bad boys came out in the traditional paper boat only a bar can serve food in. It comes with ranch and when I popped that top off the little plastic ramekin, my heart melted more than when I saw a double rainbow. You guessed it. Home. Made. Ranch. You could put homemade ranch on a stick and I'd eat it. The poppers had that perfect breaded crunch, perfect amount of cream cheese filling, and good jalapeño taste. Poppers w/ life changing ranch 8/10. My main course was an olive burger. Nothing particularly popped out at me on the menu, so I just took my time scanning it and let the Bar of Influence™ guide me. I started with just the typical Bay de Noc burger, which is just "burger and bun." Direct quote. But I called an audible and decided to roll with the Olive Burger. Now, personally, I believe a top notch Olive Burger is made with an olive spread AND mayo. Not just olives and mayo. But, sometimes just that olive flavor calls and I don't care how I answer the phone. (To be clear, I answered the phone and it was just olives and mayo). Since I was feeling extra gluttonous, I added another patty. Stop. I know. I call myself those names, too. I do think that bonus patty might have been the patty that broke the camels back. Don't get me wrong, I polished it all off, but I felt degraded afterwards. OBDP (Olive Burger, Double Patty) 7/10. OBSP (Olive Burger, Single Patty) 7.75/10 "But what about the fries?" - You, probably. Okokok, relax. The fries were actually amazing. I never know the name/style of these fries (they looked normal with kind of like crispies stuck to them. Also kind of batter-y? I don't know. I'm not a potato). They had a crispy potato-y outside with a soft potato-y inside. They were the perfect doneness. Unknown Potato Style Fries 10/10. The ambiance was your typical bar type ambiance. High tables, low tables, pool table, juke box, tvs with sports, keno. Good spot. Go do it.

We happened to come in on Saturday to find they had smoked meat that day. I had the BBQ pork sandwich - tender and great smokey flavor. It came with a notably good creamy cole slaw, and I got beer batter fries. OMG, who invented this amazing side? Great crispy, crunchy outside, and delicious tender potato inside. Tasty, hearty meal and drinks at a reasonable price. Do yourself a favor and go.
