The 6 items on the current menu cover the major food groups - ribs, pasta, fish & burgers. Weak at best. $45.00 for a fried Walleye over overcooked risotto is outrageous. Tom's full rack of ribs took the gold medal tonight. Swimming in Hoisen sauce & crushed peanuts it was shared by all. Lisz's pasta looked interesting but also a bit souping in sauce. My small Caesar should have been labeled baby portion. At least they remembered the anchovies. Drinks were healthy but service was intermittent. Waitress was spread all over the main room plus the patio. Seating manager set the tone with his shirt hanging out and sporting a baseball cap. Dinner for 3 with TIP was $230.00 - should have headed to Terry's in CVX at this price range. Save the drive & call the Argonne for a shrimp fest

Barrel Back is one of those restaurants I have really mixed feelings about because the food itself…read morecan be amazing. Their brisket is genuinely unmatched. We've had brisket at plenty of other places and nothing compares to theirs and it is absolutely the reason we continue coming back. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience doesn't consistently live up to the food. Wait times for food are often very long, and across multiple visits we've found the servers generally aren't very attentive. The other major issue is the price. It's very expensive for the amount of food you actually get, and especially in the current economy, that's hard to overlook. When you're paying that much for a meal, I think it's reasonable to expect not only excellent food, but excellent service and an overall experience that feels worth the price. That's ultimately why I'm torn. The brisket is five-star brisket, but the overall value and service aren't five-star. We'll probably still find ourselves coming back because apparently that brisket has a hold on us, but better service, shorter waits, and pricing that feels more proportional to the portions would make a huge difference.

We had reservations for 6 at 7:15. After being seated I commented to my group that someone must…read morehave alredy had water because my water glass was completely wet. As she was pouring water in the other's glasses, the waitress said "Your glass just came out of the dishwasher." Not sure why she thought it would make it better, but she did bring another glass. We ordered drinks and it was taking quite a while. She came to the table and said the bar was running really behind. After another while, she said she was about ready to jump over the bar and get the drinks herself. The smoked whitefish appetizer had a minimal amount of crackers for the amount of pate on the plate. Also, we were not told that they were out of anything until one if the dishes was requested (no apology). One of our party had halibut and said it was really good. But she got no vegetable on her dish. My dish was supposed to have mushrooms but came with none. The pear salad got good comments. The rest said the food was just fine. No bread or crackers ahead of time. We were not asked if we wanted anymore drinks. We did get asked about dessert. We declined. Then when she returned she brought one check. She never asked how the bill should be split, so we had to wait for that. All in all, not the experience expected by those that had been there in the past (probably before covid) or for the price charged. Outside of the view, a very disappointing evening.

Disappointing experience. We requested bread and were told they no longer serve any bread with…read moredinner? Escargot on the menu, but no longer served. The French Onion soup was bland- a really weak beef base. The manager on duty Thurs night 6/25 was lovely and accommodated our party of 12. Sean, our server was a joy, took care of us efficiently. Lastly, I made a reservation 1-2 weeks out for 12, and she set up our table the road side instead of the canal. The traffic noise was loud. We requested a change and were moved into the quieter area on the canal. What a shame to put a family in the worst outside location in the place, and it wasn't busy outside. I would need alot of convincing to return.

There is ample parking which is complimentary, which is a plus! Love the attention to detail with the happy birthday menu. We started off with cocktails and the mussels. The mussels were so good! Never had mussels with noodles, but the combo was delicious. The crispy shallots plus the warm hot bread. Yum! For dinner, we ordered the halibut, snapper, and the pork. Everything was so good. I ordered the halibut which came with risotto. So light and flaky. My husband loved the pork tomahawk. The snapper was a hit too. We enjoyed a bottle of Riesling with our dinner. Love that it was a local Michigan wine! For dessert, we ordered the Dubai cheesecake. It was a little sweet for our liking, but the dessert options were so great. Lots to select from! Such a great place to celebrate and enjoy a great dinner.

I took my out of town guests to Walloon Lake Inn Expecting…read morea fabulous meal. Each of our meals was disappointing, to say the very least. I ordered a salad with an added filet. What I got was a VERY small salad with a piece of flat, dry, tough, tasteless piece of meat more like a piece of sirloin than a filet. There is no way what was presented was a filet. I know filets and this was not a filet. Both the salad and the filet were plopped on a plate. No presentation either. My friend got halibut. She said it was very dry. She mentioned it to the waiter who said halibut is a dry fish. My friend responded that she knew halibut and it normally was not this dry and tasteless and the waiter simply walked away. My other friend got lobster and it came slathered in hollandaise sauce. No drawn butter. Her meal also came with two small dollops of what were supposed to be crab cakes. All of us thought our meals were terrible. We were there two years ago and our meals were fantastic. The quality has gone way down. We will not return.

Their efforts don't go unnoticed. Also, I have to thank them for their consistency, quality, taste, portions of their variety of food offered.

It can't be easy so again thank you. The weather today was overcast, but at the landing the atmosphere was sunny and bright! Don't, miss a visit this Northern gem of a restaurant especially if you love lobster! Their Lobster Rolls are amazing? Also, be sure to check out their Roll Back Specials! That idea is terrific.

One of the managers, Lisa, stopped by our table to check on us. She was so nice & told me she loved my daughter's pigtails (she said she never got to do any fun girl hairstyles because she's a 4 time boy mom lol) We were out shopping in town & decided to come back here for food! The pulled pork sandwich was delicious & my husband loved his perch dinner! We tried to get our daughter to eat the grilled cheese kids meal, but she decided my husband & my food was better lol The sweet potato waffle fries are really good! I loved the peanut butter sauce but did not care for the strawberry jelly dip. 3 years ago we ate here on a sunny day & it was beautiful. Even though it was rainy today, the beachside vibe still made it fun! Hopefully it doesn't take us another 3 years to make it back to the area because I would definitely eat here again! (Anthony plus is that the bathrooms are clean & they have scent sticks which make it smell good)
