I was very pleased with the lighthouse and I don't normally give out four-star ratings and did not expect to do it here. I don't like buffets, but I couldn't help myself when I took a look at it. They had Plaths smoked pork chops on the buffet and if you're from northern Michigan, you know what those are. Delicious. But they also had fried shrimp and fried fish and pot roast all of which were surprisingly good The mashed potatoes were absolutely homemade I was very surprised and pleasantly pleased with my meal. The server was absolutely delightful And the restaurant was very clean with the exception of a cobweb by the front door, which considering how nice everything else was I'm inclined to overlook. read more

We were up in Rodger's city before Memorial Day. It was pretty quiet. After a stop at Plaths we were told about the lighthouse restaurant. It's attached to a bowling alley and the restaurant is to the left after you enter. The bowling alley was not opened yet. The waiter was friendly, some Whitney Houston was playing, and their was some fun singing by the staff. I had a French dip sandwich. For a nominal fee I was able to get a salad and some waffle fries. They also had malt vinegar - bonus- for the fries of course. Good meal, great service, and very value priced! Would recommend. read more

The Lighthouse Restaurant is a great place to eat. 12/8/2023 was our first visit and there was a Fried Fish Buffet that included Plath ham. The fish and shrimp were delicious. I was particularly happy to find real mashed potatoes on the buffet line. For $12.99, this buffet is a steal! Service was excellent! Our waitress was most pleasant. I would consider this restaurant to be on the large side with par and considerable kitchen space. It's directly attached to the bowling alley next door. read more

It's honestly been a few months since we went here but I can't recommend this place enough. Me and the family spent a week up there back in the summer and hit up this place at least twice. The pizzas are delicious. The fish and chips were the freaking bomb. The fried mushrooms were perfect. The cheese bread was that really on point cheesy, with that deep dish appeal. The cheese curds (or whatever they're called) ... oh man. Seriously, we're talking about them tonight and wish we were up there. read more

We ordered the Lighthouse Special pizza & a personal 7" pan pizza. Both were very good. We had apps of the battered mushrooms & cheddar cheese nuggets, both also very good. It's definitely a local hangout, but the bartender was very attentive. There's not much to choose from as far as restaurants go here, but I'd highly suggest it. read more

Lake perch was perfect, took the exact amount of time they said it would (we got take out) and the price was SO reasonable.

We stopped here for an early lunch as we were driving through town. We actually had to wait for the doors to be unlocked right at 11. The desserts in the display case looked so good, we decided to just split a burger. The staff was so nice, they created two plates splitting the burger and chips and even the pickle. The cheese burger was okay, nothing special, but also not a plank of unknown origin. Our drinks were refilled through out the meal, then we enjoyed splitting a Coconut Cream Pie. . .yum. read more

Great bacon cheeseburger, with a juicy, nicely cooked burger and crispy, plentiful bacon. The fries were fresh and crispy, too! The service was great, and the draft beer was cold, too! read more

Looked all over for good pizza, from Presque Isle to Alpena and it wasn't until our nephews came to visit and they had the personal pan pizza at The Lighthouse, I had to try it, best pizza around. read more

Waited at the front to be seated. After standing there, with no one asking us, we asked, & lady said you can seat yourself. No where did it indicate to seat yourself. Finally after sitting & waiting for over 15 min, we again asked to be waited on. Finally he took our order reluctantly. Placed our order. We ordered fried mushroom app, my husband ordered a pizza, I ordered shrimp dinner, salad bake potato. Pizza came out first after 15 to 20 min. Finally after he ate 2 pieces of pizza asked about my salad & he hurried & got it. Mushrooms came out 15 min later.(appetizer) my shrimp dinner came out about 40 min later. Very poor service! Our hotel told us this was the best place in town to eat. Wow!! If that is true, there is not much to say about dining in Roger's City! read more

Delicious! We got a bacon and onion pizza and a regular pepperoni, the crust was perfection! Looking forward to trying this place again the next time we're in town read more

Good local food, at a reasonable price. Next to bowling alley so can play and dine at the same time

the pizza is good but the meat lovers was much to greasy. The supreme was very good and i enjoyed. If you are looking for good other than pizza you might want to skip, our mushroom and pretzel appetizer were not very good but the pizza and ambiance saved this place. Our server was nice aswell read more

My favorite pizza restaurant ever. And trust me. I travel alot around the US. You have so many choices. But my favorite is pepperoni, black olives and mushrooms with extra cheese. read more

Their club freighters are so good! Their pizza is too! Good prices. Fast service although I usually get it to go.

Camping up north, stopped here for a late lunch. Had the classic hamburger with curly fries, which was quite good! What stole the show was the cheese bread!! For $6 we expected a small thing, instead it was an eye opening large portion that was mighty tasty! Waiter was busy yet incredibly attentive! Perch basket had limited fish but overall a great experience and good prices read more

Nice establishment - loved by locals on Sundays & adjacent to (their?) local bowling alley! We thought the dishwasher was busted! Some of Michigan's most charming waitresses - we felt like family on our first visit. Go! read more

Thought I'd let you all know...our Supreme Pizza was delicious! Well done Lighthouse Restaurant!

I was in Rogers City thursday night on business and not a lot open, but the Lighthouse was. I had the Perch and honestly some of the best I have ever eaten. The Coleslaw was made onsite and very good as well. The ladies were very friendly and welcoming. Stop by if you are in the neighborhood. read more

The pizza bread is amazing. Our friend says it has something to do with the spring water. In any case we had a great time, delicious fish burger, fish and chips, and pizzas for all. read more

Casual dinner with the family is always a good thing. The Lighthouse Restaurant was a great meeting place for us to chat and enjoy. Dawn was able to put together tables so 12 of us could all eat together. She was very accommodating to our large group. She also provided us with friendly and attentive service for a lovely meal. Casual dinner means we were all in the mood for pizza. Hawaiian pizza was on the menu for a solid option. The pizza was covered generously in toppings. They were brought to the table piping hot and ready to indulge. The crust wasn't overly thick or thin. Plus it was greasy which was a bonus. We also ordered cheese bread for more carbs. My stomach was definitely happy and full after this meal. I wouldn't hesitate to visit again when I'm in town. Thanks for the satisfying meal! read more

The service is very friendly. They have a plentiful amount of food portions to go with their dinner options, including a buffet option. The only issue was the food was a tad bit greasy. read more

Great place. The food was good and affordable. My party of 5 ate for $45 (without tip). The staff was friendly and made us feel at home. Good sit down dining for a break in a road trip. Service was fast but not rushed. They are also convienietly open late. read more

Solid lunch buffet but the highlight of the lighthouse is their pizza. This is the go to place for take out pizza in Rogers City, not just because it's the only one downtown. The crust is fluffy and yummy and there's never too much sauce. The service is quick and the staff are nice. Another plus is it's connected to the bowling alley in town so you can enjoy their food while playing a game or two! read more

Still good pizza, depends on the day and who is cooking though. Sometimes really good, sometimes "meh" but overall more really good days than "meh" days. The buffet on Sunday needs to change. It's been the same stuff for years now. Can we change things up? The lunch buffet has some changes, i.e. polish, hot sandwiches, Italian, etc... But the Sunday- ALWAYS the same. C'mon y'all, step it up a little bit on Sunday. In other news, the freighters are freaking awesome! read more

Friendly place and decent food. The Ruben was kinda blah for flavor but edible. The Tuesday taco bar is something different but worth the money. The pizza is really good with a good amount of toppings. read more

I have been here in Rogers City for business just about a week and continue to go back to this place purely out of convenience. The staff is incredibly friendly but the service is incredibly slow, probably because the don't have enough staff. The burgers, whitefish and pizza are your best bet. Some meals come with the soup and salad bar but, don't expect much. I tried the "famous pork chops". I don't know what makes them famous unless it's because they are so bad. Also tried the steak. that was another mistake. It was so bad it made me not want to eat there ever again. read more

I LOVE the Light House! Great family restaurant/ neighborhood bar/ bowling alley atmosphere all wrapped into one. The food is really good I recommend the French dip sandwich, the bar on Fridays because they have salad, soup, roast beef, mashed potatoes, fish, shrimp and all the fixings, and the pizza is good to. If you want to bowl the lanes are attached to the restaurant. And the service is real good our server Tim was awesome. read more

Well the fried cauliflower was good and the cole slaw, the fish had no taste and the fries were just nasty. would not go back the staff was too busy to care about the needs of the customers, they were playing with a baby, just walking around and we wanted over ten minutes for the bill. read more

Absolutely a must stop in at when you are in Rogers city. This was our first time in the city and we just kinda chose a hole-in-the-wall type of place and boy did they deliver. Our waitress was so incredibly sweet and funny, gave us directions to a lighthouse in the area and was just friendly. We were here to get a snack as it was mid day, but their portions kept us full till after dinner and beyond. A good item you must try is the lighthouse original cheese bread. You also get so much for your money at this place! Also, the fries were pretty delicious. I will absolutely go back if I am ever in the area. read more

Very good pizza and reasonable prices. When you are travelling, camping, boating for a few days pizza is one of those cravings that can't be satisfied. Such was the case for us. We enjoyed pizza and a beer. Both hit the spot! The restaurant is small town casual and staff is ready to help. read more

This restaurant is very mediocre. The best thing about the restaurant is the decor, which is obviously lighthouse themed, and is very beautiful. The food and service, however, was poor. The waitress was nice, but very old. We had to wait a while to pay, because there was nobody at the counter, and our waitress was nowhere to be found. The food I got was pizza, and it tasted like it was a frozen pizza that you could get at any grocery store, except it was extremely doughy. All in all, I would not recommend this establishment. read more

Great food with great prices and friendly staff! Definitely recommend if you're in the area. Love their burgers and sweet potato fries!

Love this place!! We come here for the buffet when camping. The food is sooooo much better than the big chain buffets.

I came here from out of town with my parents and was very happy with the restaurant. I had a pan pizza and my parents had fish and chips; both of which were delicious. The food came quickly and the server stopped by often to check on us, and was quick with the drink refills, which I appreciate. I'll definitely stop by again next time I'm in town. read more

Out of towner and appreciated we could pick up pizza after a long day. Tasted great, and they were nice on the phone!

The pizza is great! it's kind of like Pizza Hut crust but better. The sauce taste better and it has more toppings on it. I love their polish Buffet when they have it. read more

Decent pizza. Mediocre dinner buffet. They only had two pizzas out and they had gross toppings. Lasagna was good. Meatballs are good. Alfredo sauce was majorly lacking flavor. Service was okay. Prices decent. Also went for Sunday breakfast buffet. That was better than dinner buffet. Excellent French toast, pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, western eggs, and decent biscuits and gravy. read more

Ate here for lunch. What a good place! The atmosphere is decent, as it could use a bit of updating, but the food was amazing. We ordered cheese bread as an appetizer. It was 4 bucks so we were expecting just a little plate of bread. We got an entire tray! It was so good too! We each got sandwiches, both which were delicious. Cheap and good food, attentive service. Awesome. Can't beat this place! We will be back! read more
