We arrived on a busy rainy Saturday night and the place was packed. We were quickly seated as there was 1 table that still was available. We were with another couple. 2 people in our party order Nachos with beef. They both liked them a lot both needed extra salsa though as what was provided was minimal. The sour cream was in a push out packet. The nachos were good but not great. I had the mushroom Swiss burger which was good and filling. The fries which were a 99 cent up charge was poor. They tasted old and dried out. The other person had a beef burrito and he loved it. The service was good. The waitress was busy but still was able to meet our needs. This place shuts down their keno with the exception of self serve during their busy hours so if you like keno... be prepared to get your own. We would go back here when we are up again. They also have a dance floor. read more

See all

Awesome atmosphere with even better service. Food and drinks were great. Great spot to go to after winter fest on higgins lake!

We have eaten here 4 different times in the last 2 years when we visit the area. The last time was the 'last time'. Our waitress took our order and all was well, she brought out 3 meals to a table of 4 people and walk away. Ah Hello? She didn't say anything or come back. After 15 minutes we flagged down the bus boy and asked if he could check on the other meal. They didn't know what we were talking about. They rushed a meal for him but in the mean time she never refilled our drinks, brought catsup or salad dressing to our table or acknowledged the error. Later we had to request our bills. Two couples = two bills not so unusual but she used our cash to pay the other couples bill and vise versa. We had to sort it out ourselves. Also no discount for forgetting one meal and one person waiting an extra 30 minutes for food also no apology. The food is fine but service poor. read more

Warning!!!!!Worst place ever, definitely don't like people from out of town, unfriendly staff, got my tire slashed outside in the parking lot. Talking to other locals in the area, they had their tired slashed too before. read more

I'm so glad that we were able to find this bar! The servers were nice and the food was great. The bar had a nice atmosphere family friendly and they provided you with real catch up bottles, not a little bit of catch-up in a plastic cup. read more

Here in Higgins Lake for a few days and stopped by for lunch on Sunday. I had the Black and Blue burger and it was very good. The house made chips are a good option. Not crowded, fast service and nice staff. read more

Well, to be honest we wanted to eat here sooner during our trip to Higgins lake but avoided this restaurant because of the most recent reviews. We took the risk and this is my family's opinion. I'm not sure if you can get more non local/outsiders than we are, I'm active duty military and my truck has New Mexico plates so the tire slashing thing bothered me. We walked into a sign basically saying seat yourself. We found a table for me, my wife, and our daughter. We were greeted by a nice lady who gave us menu's and said she would be back shortly for drinks and our order. The wife and I got the chicken basket with fries and a side of ranch and my daughter got the Hawaiian style pizza. The chicken baskets were both great (no Chick-fil-A but still good). My daughter (10 years old) said her pizza was in her top 5. I tried her pizza and I thought it was very good and cheesy! We ordered a silver dollar Supreme pizza to go for dinner. Over all we feel this establishment deserves to be judged by ones own experience. After we cashed out I was delighted to see my truck tires had not been slashed . We had our pizza for dinner and the wife really liked the pizza. Again we are NOT locals but love to see and appreciate our great country and the hidden beauty off the beaten path and are sad we didn't get to try the breakfast. Good luck! read more

I love this local bar near my house. Everything I've had on the menu is excellent. Even their beer choices were incredible. Especially coming from a small town, all of this craft and domestic beer was a game changer. My favorites food wise were the chicken bacon ranch wrap and their pizzas. Their onion rings are to kill for and their French onion soup hits the spot! read more

Years ago they were good but two years ago we went for their famous fish fry and it was a horrible experience. The fish was tasteless and one of the male owners had a very bad cold and was blowing his nose and didn't wash his hands and was serving beer to the waitress which meant he handled the glasses with unwashed hands. That right there turned my stomach then to get bad fish and service. He did a good job of spreading his cold. If same (several owners) still there be aware read more

First time ever in northern Michigan. And I refuse to go to this place ever again. I will drive to grayling to eat. First night is area. And was just having a drink. Waited 20 mins to just get a drink. Place was slow The service is terrible. Wait staff & management is very rude. And to be honest was told if we didn't like it leave. So that's just want we did. The only place in town and they treat the locals and visitors like trash. Don't mind wasting your money on the jukebox. If they don't like your selection they will skip every song. Prioritizing is what I was told. Then I asked for me money back and the bartender threw my money at me. Would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Been back several times to Higgins lake area But not to this place. I'll spend my money where they appreciate customers. read more

This restaurant was super close to our campsite at North Higgins State Park. They had great prices and a nice variation of menu options. We went there twice during our trip. Our favorite dish (by far) there was the Sunken Island Tiki-Bar Jerk Chicken Pizza. Highly recommend! read more

Silver Dollar Bar - Sunken Island Tiki-Bar Jerk Chicken Pizza - Burgers Near Me - Roscommon, Michigan

Great neighborhood bar. Great food and great bartenders and servers.A+++. Good entertainment on weekends too.

Cash only establishment. So surprised by this hidden gem! Walked in on a Saturday as a party of 4, a few minutes before noon. A large group of 6 guys (already doing tequila shots - good for them!!) had just walked in, along with several families. Our server (I think her name was Shelly) looked to be the only front of house personnel, but she did an excellent job of managing expectations and getting things out reasonably on time. The cowboy burger and patty melt were delicious. The bean burger lacked fun toppings, and the chicken tenders were fine. Decent but limited beer list. Shelly was literally running the entire time. Having been in the industry in a past life, I can appreciate when someone is truly busy and doing a good job and keeping an entire dining room of guests happy and fed. I will come back next time we roll through town. read more

Called ahead to see how long the wait was, we were told they had no wait so we headed a 15 min drive up. Got their and the parking lot was packed go inside to a packed place. Was told the wait could be 10 minutes -2 hours. Gave our name and how many in the party (4) one of which was in a full leg cast and cant stand for extended periods of time. We were told we could sit by the dance floor to wait and was given a buzzer. We waits 20 min for a table a table opened up and the host without even looking at the book or setting my buzzer off sat the table the walked in after us down with only 2 people. We were told that we could sit and wait for another table. I understand waits for restaurants but i was truly frustrated with the lack of decency to atleast look at the book you have names wrote down in. We just bought a cabin up here and was hoping this could be the go to place but looks like we will have to look somewhere else. read more

Ive Been going to the silver dollar for 25 years and have not been happy with the new owner/management.. the service has been poor and some of the waitresses have been persistently rude. The biggest disappointment though, are the drinks. Not only are they much more expensive, but are horrible. Could barely taste the alcohol in my short drink. Definitely feeling ripped off. I used to love going to this establishment especially since it's so close to the cabin, but will no longer waste my time or my money there. :( read more

Wow, great looking bar. Awesome atmosphere. Food just plain old sucked. Frozen burger patty's. It's really not good. Owner/management wake up, do you really think your food is good. It's a bar Pizza and Burgers. Frozen burger come on. One more thing your staff is Slow, terrible service. Watch your bar you'll see who works and who doesn't. When you paying the bill should plates from dinner still be on your table 15 minutes after or done eating. Ok I just read some of the other reviews and Annie is just plain lying she must know the owner or work there. Look if anyone says that a frozen patty's burger is good you don't have a clue what a bar burger is. read more

My original review was taken down for not being 'clear enough' so let me be EXPLICITLY clear now. Silver dollar employees were not wearing masks, including the waiters who could potentially breathe or sneeze on meals. This is not only a potential Covid hazard but also inconsiderate and egocentric. They also failed to wear gloves or properly sanitize hands in between customers. Don't go here if you want to stay healthy. read more

We came in on a Wednesday around 3:00. The place was practically empty. Maybe four people at the bar. I ordered the Cowboy Burger and my girlfriend ordered 12 boneless wings. The wait was fairly short, probably because nobody else in the place was ordering food. The food was good. The burger was very large and very good. The boneless wings were good as well. The next time we are up camping again, we will be sure to stop in. read more

Horrible Managers stand around and do nothing response from the manager when the situation was explained "my bad" Very very unprofessional Over a two hour wait for food when they said it would be one hour Not one manager spoke to us regarding the situation Our waitress tried everything to solve our issues she was fine Caution my husband became violently ill after eating here read more

Was trying to place an order for delivery around 9 pm. Obviously, tensions are running high right now with everything going on. Was told to hold for a little bit, while a man's voice in the background yelled, "We don't have a f*cking choice! It's only 9 p.m." After, a woman's voice answered and said we could order, we ordered the daily wing special. Coincidentally, they were out of wings. I told them to have a good night lol. Was looking forward to a good dinner & to support local businesses during the outbreak! Shameful. read more

Went there for their advertised euchre night ($10/person). Online post said (and others who had been there confirmed) that complementary snacks would be served. Sign at entrance said same thing. Right before they were set to begin at 7 pm, the manager went to both signs (at entrance to place and entrance to room) and erased the "complimentary snacks" from signs. When we asked about it, he said "we are here to bring in money, not spend money". Wrong answer, and poor business model. Do what you say and what you advertise. read more

Great pizza and wonderful Monday special of 1/2 off, but obviously hard to get the proper help.... called 8 xs over 10 minutes and received a full mailbox ea time. Oh well, will try again and hope for the best. read more

Ordered a pizza carry out and it was excellent!! New owners are making a good change and have heard nothing but good comments.

I'm usually a once a year visitor to the Silver Dollar during Deer Season. I live in Los Angeles but spend the opening week of the season in Roscommon. We spent the evening here after the opening day hunt. There was a decent crowd after a buck pole contest. The menu was similar to previous visits under different ownership. Our table had a variety of different foods. I personally had the chicken burrito. It was delicious and a very generous portion. I heard the nachos were great, and also huge. The chicken, bacon wrap was liked, and so were the chicken finger baskets. A well cocktail was only $2.50, crazy cheap. The service was polite, professional and friendly...just a little bit slow. Looking forward to my next visit in 2018. read more

Nice up north bar. They make a good Bloody Mary and their wings are excellent. They make 'em nice and crispy without any batter and I like my hot sauce n the side. read more

Well...we gave it another try today to give the pizza a go. Ordered 2 large pizzas and wings. The wings were just ok..too fatty and not enough sauce or crispy enough for our liking. The pizzas came out and right away sent one back bc it was burnt:/ The other one we kept but tasted like cardboard and not enough cheese. Really had high hopes things would be better this time around. The Founders rubaus was good as always. The waitress was super nice and attentive, however, we sat right outside of the managers office and he passed our table 3 times. After a table sends something back, as a manager, he could have stopped over to ask what the problem was. I want more than anything for this place to improve bc it would be great to have a good restaurant to go too...but doesn't seem to be happening:/ read more

My wife and I used to like riding our motorcycle here for dinner because the boneless wings were good. BUT the last time we were there, there was an earwig in my straw, and since they use black straws (all unwrapped in a tub behind the bar), it made it into my mouth when I took my first drink. My wife ordered a chicken burrito and when it came it was filled with chicken and beef mixed together. I would have given this place 4 stars had It not been for that visit. It's now no longer on our list of options. read more

Dropped in for lunch with family recently. Service was excellent and the food was a cut above your average bar fare. My club sandwich on marbled rye had a nice balance of bacon, turkey, mayo and veggies. This place may not look like much from the outside but it's clean and well lit on the inside. read more

Surprisingly busy on a Monday afternoon. Shelly the bartender was fast, friendly and accommodating even though she was working the floor alone and super busy. Food was fantastic. This place is a northern Michigan gem. read more

I've been here twice. Bad service both times. Bad food once and mediocre food the other time. The waitress over-charged me on my bill. I used a card to pay my $20 portion of the bill, then charged $23 and said the machine did it automatically. We paid the rest with cash, but she didn't offer to refund us and just walked away. I won't be back. read more

This place continues to disappoint me today was just a simple to go order I sat at the end of the bar my pizza is sitting in the warming box and the one waitress that handles all the to go orders is nowhere to be found she's finally found in the break room she brings me the bill and then disappears again finally the bartender sees my anger growing and goes and finds her again there's enough staff in this place to take care of 500 people but it took me 15 minutes to get a pizza to go out of the warming box that was literally 2 feet from the end of the bar???? And to top it off the price was 12$ for a personal sized pizza I wish there was another option to eat and drink on Higgins Lake but there is not read more

We were there last Sunday the service was TERRIBLE. Ordered a pizza and it sat on the counter as 8 more dinners were served. When our waitress finally got done talking to other waitresses she delivered it COLD. We sent it back and then the I guess manager came over and a accused me that I called her A s**** waitress which was a LIE. I told her the service was terrible. I guess she was covering her butt. Needless to say we wont be back! After talking with others in the area its common place there. read more

Food was in the window for 10 minutes before it came to us COLD. Busy evening manager hiding in office, never came to see us, even when we asked for him. Seen him on his phone behind the bar. Go somewhere that wants your business. Never coming back!! read more

We went to the Silver Dollar last night for dinner. One of the hottest nights this summer. Their air conditioning was not working. It was unbearable. The waitress told us that the manager won't get it fixed. She then mentioned they need a new manager. We quit going there for quite some time as the food had gotten so bad. This is the second time in probably a year that we've been there. Fortunately they must have a new chef as the food is much better. However, having no air conditioning in the summer is unacceptable. Go to Fred's 10 miles down the road......their air works! read more

Good craft beer selection on tap. Great place to go watch a game on a Saturday afternoon or evening. The legend burger is AWESOME! I would definitely go out of my way to stop by here and have another burger. read more

Huge burger. Price not bad either. Service was good but not overly friendly. Bill was 45$ gave her $50 bill. She kept the change without asking. Would have gladly given her 20% tip. Btw I did leave extra on the table. read more

As bars go, it is good. Freindly wait staff, open for breakfast lunch and dinner. Good Burgers too.

Went to the Dollar last evening with my daughter and really had an enjoyable evening. Food and drink was both very good.

My husband and I live local and like to give back to the community. Have had mediocre experiences with the Silver Dollar. Last night, we thought we'd give it another try. 1. East side ramp leading into restaurant was very icy and appeared to NOT have been salted. One of us slipped, but didn't fall. This could have been a lot worse than what it was. Lighting was not good either. 2. Took over an hour to get our food for a table of 4 3. Our chicken strip basket came 15 minutes after our dinner guests as waitress dropped our food. 4. Price of chicken strip basket is $9.99. Our chicken strip basket only had 4 small strips and only a handful of fries 5. Took an additional 20 minutes to get our bill and cash out 6. Since coming to the restaurant we have never been asked by an Owner or Manager how our visit went 7. The last 3-4 visits to the Silver Dollar have resulted in poor service with long waits to take the order and/or to get food 8. Not 1 time during these visits with poor service have we been "comped" with any kind of discount off the bill or provided a gift card for our next visit As a year round resident to Roscommon, one would think they would treat their customers a bit better or get to know us. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

They get a solid 4 stars. This is a newly reopened (same name, new owner) bar & grill. They opened at the busiest time of the year and are trying really hard. Small tables are getting food very fast and larger tables are waiting a bit. There are definitely kinks to be worked out but the name didn't change so the long-timers aren't recognizing the change in ownership. Good TVs inside and the patio doesn't serve food BUT has a great atmosphere for before or after dinner drinks. Give them a chance (maybe two) and you won't be disappointed. read more
