I ordered the great lakes chowder which was a gloppy unflavorable offering. My wife had the French onion soup crock which was presented attractively with lots of cheer and a hunk of bread, but the broth was weak and lacking in much in the way of actual onions. I had the Chimichurri Pub Steak for my entrée and it was flavorful if perhaps overcooked and a bit salty. My partner had the Noggin Pub Burger which was just fine. Wait staff was a bit hit and miss, perhaps because we were on the patio but hardly alone with 3 different people attending tables.

This was a tough one because the waitress was absolutely fantastic. The ambience was to be…read moreexpected. The restaurant was clean. The menus were posted the specials were up.. when we heard that they serve liver and onions, I asked the waitress if it was something that was really popular and raved about and she said yes. However, when we got our liver and onions, which all three of us ordered, it was less than desired. It certainly wasn't what we expected. I can understand that it wasn't what I was seeing in my mind, which was a thick piece of liver done medium with a big nice pile of caramelized onions, and a creamy bunch of mashed potatoes with a luscious gravy. What arrived on each of our 3 plates was a very (extremely) thin slice of burnt liver which had a couple slices of bacon on it which were also burnt . On top of the onions, where should've been more delicious caramelized onions were about 10 very thin lightly battered onion rings. Well there were good, it was definitely way off the traditional liver and onion taste or look. What added to the disappointment was that the potatoes were lumpy and not done well. I can say that the good part was that they brought extra gravy in a little steel boat. And I needed that to chuck down the dry burnt liver and the lumpy potatoes. If one looks at my reviews, I'm very careful about leaving bad reviews, and I look at anything that might improve them. However, there was no reason that a cook should deliver. Something that's burned, and the thinness of these liver stakes was uncalled for. And with onions being so inexpensive and substituting it for some very thin, odd onion rings I think Gordon Ramsay would've had a field day on this one. We were all three extremely hungry. It was about 2 PM and none of us had had breakfast so we did eat it, but I can say it would've been almost equal for me to have a McDonald's or Taco Bell, which is something that I never do because it's awful. I think you need to improve the style of this dish. The times I've had anything else there. I can say that it was typical American type food, but it passed in my book. This did not, but your waitress was fantastic. I did not take a picture because time just flew by and we made a mess of it too quickly . We had a bad day and we had not eaten, but I did not let that affect our review. I spoke to the two other others that were in my party and we all felt the same. Improve yourselves, please as you are a very busy restaurant and no one deserves to have something like this.

Fried perch was best I've had in the area, and I've tried it just about everywhere in the Petoskey/Alanson/Burt and Mullet area Crispy, lightly breaded, absolutely no grease. Onion rings same Clam strips were also great ( a favorite of mine, don't usually see around here ) My wife had a Nicole's salad, was very pleased.

I seen it sitting on the bar. The last time we were there. My wife and I arrived there at 8:30pm on a Friday night. This night was the night of the lighted boat show on the river below. We walk in, the greeter & staff are wrapping silverware. (Staying busy) my wife asks " is there any seating on the deck? The greeter says; I don't think so? But, let's go look. Wow! All kinds of tables! Hmm! So, we're seated. 5-10 minutes goes by and 3 waitresses walk past us. One of them looks me in the eye and walks on by as well. Hmm! Now I'm getting upset! So, the next one I see, I ask are you our waitress? She says, "No, we're on a rotating table service, I'll go get your waitress" our waitress finally shows up. Says " no one told her" so, she makes good, takes our order and drinks. The appetizers and my wife's mix drink comes before my mix drink did. Only to find out another waitress took my drink from the bar; therefore shorting our waitress. Poor service! Young ladies that look clueless. Our waitress was older and knew what she was doing. The food is worth coming back for. But, we'll walk out quicker next time if this happens again. Management needs to train the wait staff better.

The menu included a nice selection of appetizers and ala carts/side items, burgers, salads, baskets, desserts, pastas, etc were on the dinner entree side and available after 4pm. Too bad...the mushroom pasta sounded delightful!! My husband and I both chose fish & skinny fries. What are "skinny fries"? They are the perfect size and crispness!! They are what fries were made to be!! I ate every single delicious one!! The fish was lightly beer battered Alaskan cod and it was just what my stomach needed to tame the serious case of hangries!! I'm not sure if the best part was the first bite or the wonderful smell as it was being brought to our table! (I'm saying this because almost all my life I've lived in KS, the allergy capital of the US, and have never been able to smell things like food until we moved to MI)!! Hubby and I agreed, we will be back for a date night dinner even though this is a 30 min drive for us! Also it's a dress up or casual dress place. We really enjoyed it!
