On our 6 hour drive up from Western Springs, Il to Petoskey, MI we stopped here on our way for…read morelunch. I was here with my family of seven including two preschoolers and one elementary school child. The restaurant overlooks a small section of Lake Cadillac, therefore we opted to eat outside. It was a beautiful sunny day in early August. See my pics and video. I started with my Bellaire American Brown Ale from Short's Brewing. Bellaire Brown Brown Ale has notes of chocolate, toasted malt, caramel and coffee. It is full bodied, dry and easy on the palate. I enjoyed my waterfront wet burrito, a town classic favorite with a fluffy flour tortilla with seasoned ground beef stuffed with refried beans, vine ripened tomatoes and crispy lettuce drenched in homemade burrito sauce with melted Mexican cheeses for $15.99. My total bill was $111 excluding gratuity. Now back on the road for our remaining drive up to Petoskey.

Down home decor, friendly, GREAT service, full bar (reasonably priced-had two shots of 1792 bourbon that were VERY well priced), and AMAZING food! Speaking of amazing food, here is what we had... Potato leek soup: it had just been St Patrick's Day, so they were still offering some themed items. The soup was VERY fresh, had a very pleasant aftertaste, and the potatoes were fresh. Rich, but not too rich. Just the right balance. Onion Rings: WOW! Fantastic, and huge! Beer battered mushrooms: Equally as good as the onion rings. What I also loved about these (and the onion rings) is that they tasted just as good the next day either heated up or even ice cold. They were THAT good Turkey Catamaran Club: My wife loved this. Triple decker sandwich with very fresh and tasty smoked turkey, bacon, and mayo. My wife is not big on leftovers, but liked this so much she was sure to finish half on site and the other half the next day. Boat Builders Burger: 1/3 of a lb of ground chuck medium rare (they cooked it perfectly) with some Swiss on top. Probably the best burger I've had in the last few years. All of the above for WELL under $100. Even tipping quite generously (our server deserved it-she was a sweetheart) we still didn't come near $100. Can't wait to come back here next time we travel up north. Fantastic place.

I took a little day trip to Cadillac and wanted (a late) lunch. I looked at reviews and this place…read morecaught my eye. As I pulled in, I saw what looked like the shack where they smoke their meat. An automatic star for that. When I walked in, I was struck by how it looks like a store as well as a restaurant -- and, indeed, they do sell candy, jellies and jams, wine, and it looked like they had a fridge in back with beer. I had a hard time deciding what I wanted; everything looked good. I ended up getting the rib sandwich -- basically a pulled pork sandwich. I really enjoyed it. It came with bagged chips that were too salty; I didn't eat many of those. If I'm in the area again in need of breakfast or lunch, I'd definitely stop here again!

Girls' brunch on a Saturday morning -- GREAT experience and delicious food!…read more As teachers, we absolutely love the mission of this charming cafe on the water in Cadillac. The servers were all polite, friendly and helpful. We truly enjoyed reading the bios of all of the After 26 workers --- so endearing! The three of shared our meals and they were ALL so yummy!!! We started with a flight of their homemade daily soups --- what a great idea! The tomato bisque was FABULOUS! Entrees: Avocado Toast, Monte Cristo sandwich (on waffles!!!) and The Sweet - one of their "Hoppers" -- sweet potato tots, sausage, eggs, feta cheese and hot honey. We loved ALL of it!! Great concept, great food, highly recommend!!!

As a big brother to a "special…read moreneeds" sister I was thrilled to see they are an inclusive workplace that provides opportunities. My 1st visit DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The staff was friendly and talkative, which I LOVE. (Ask my wife, I'll talk to anyone in public) The Philly Hopper was an awesome and filling meal for the price. I love horseradish cream, and to get it on a mix of steak, hash browns, fresh peppers and onions, with two eggs on top was just delicious. Give them a shot! Coffee and skillet and I was out the door for less than $20

That's not even to mention the incredible pizza we had! We got a build your own pizza with candied bacon, pepperoni, jalapeños, and pineapple. This exceeded all expectations. They make their candied bacon in-house, and I don't think any pizza will ever come close to what this simple ingredient added to the flavor of it. Lastly, our server - Randall N. - was so kind, fun, honest, and engaging! He truly topped this experience off for us.

Recently some friends and I found ourselves in the area, conveniently at lunch time, so we stopped and grabbed a burger. I got a mushroom swiss burger and had them hold the lettuce and tomato. My burger was real good, and my friends assured me that theirs were as well. One of my friends got their olive burger and it looked amazing. We got one order of regular fries and one of waffle fries. They have some good dipping sauces for the fries and the two orders were more than enough for the four of us. The service was great and we were impressed with how well they quickly cleaned vacated tables. This is a food truck that travels between a few of the towns up by Cadillac, all seating is outside on picnic tables. I'm glad I finally got to try this place and I'm looking forward to returning.

This place has bad to no service, the reviews don't lie. I'm sure a few locals get in good with the staff, but don't expect much if you're not a part of the in crowd. It's a shame because they are open late, but there's little incentive to drive there.
