We all want to support small mom and pop places when we come up- atleast pretend to like your job. This place could be a fun place- i do know Swamp Bar is very full when you drive by, i wonder if it's because the service is more fun and better over there...leaves much to be desired tho On a scale of 10...it's a solid 6.5. Could be an 8 with some attitude adjustments starting at the hostess stand when you walk in

The food was perfect and yes, I had the Squirrel salad again, but my sister had to build a burger with extra crispy sweet potato fries and her friend had a grilled chicken burger. He thought he was following doctors orders, but my sister took the bacon off it for him and ate it herself! . We couldn't sit in the sports part because I had something to do with the fan in the kitchen, so that's the only thing I didn't like as we sat at a different table than our absolute usual. Other than that, I can't help but giving this epic place with its epic chef five stars. It has to be my favorite place ever to eat at in Gaylord.

The standard bun is a brioche - ask for it extra toasted. Then add Grilled Onions, pickles, lettuce, and extra Thousand Island dressing to emulate In-N-Out Burger Animal Style. It's a simple way to elevate & ensure your burger enjoyment. I love modding my order like this. Their waffle fries are seasoned and tasty. Super friendly staff and lots of extra-cold beer on tap exemplify the wholesome Northern Michigan vibe. Lots of TVs and a cozy, not-too-bright environment. I would totally go back.

Nate ordered a beer and I got the peach raspberry mule, which was delicious - fruity and sweet, but with a bit of a kick from the ginger beer. We decided to split the feta and spinach pizza, but everything on the menu sounded delicious. They also have tacos, paninis, starters, salads, mac and cheese, and a kids menu. The bartenders helping us were super friendly and polite. Our pizza came out super quickly and it was so good. It had a ton of feta, and the veggies were fresh. I loved this pizza and would definitely come back for more in the future. I didn't love the ranch (I think it was just Hidden Valley), but it's still an easy 5 stars for me!
