    Friendly service, fast wifi, cold beer. Great "up north" bar. Definitely worth a stop.

    As we walked in we were greeted by a smiling, happy to see us even though he didn't yet know us bar owner and his wife, Dave and Cathy (i think).

    A long time we waited to get in here…read more.. The hours are created by someone who obviously doesn't need the income (open 11-8) It's tough to get off the water and get in before 8 in the summer, then like the rest of the town.. it's closed except the local bar that stays open. The food: Not impressed. 1/8# burgers with the same pricing as a normal restaurant. Fish and chips $4-5 more than average. A medium rare cheeseburger is served well-done Server was very sweet, but not knowledgeable at all. (We really don't blame her at all) We asked about 3 different items, and she was honest about not trying any dishes, maybe new? Day one training should have given staff a taste of signature food so they have something to share with customers. It was also obvious she forgot to put our drink order in and took forever to bring it to us. The place has a great view of the river, but we were so let down after waiting so long to get in. So many spoke so highly of this place, we were really hoping it to be a great experience-but it's really nothing to brag about. We finally came by during mid-afternoon while it was pouring, minimal customers and service should have been on point, but it wasn't. I can't recommend this place at all. Save your money and go to Great Lakes Grill down the street. (I didn't want to give this place any stars, but Yelp requires at least one to post)

Our waitress cheerfully approached us and took our meal order. We both got the soup of the day which came to us right away. A delicious, tasty squash soup and we really enjoyed it. Our food came in a timely fashion piping hot. We both ordered the Pub Dub smash burger and they were perfectly cooked and delicious, came with kettle chips. We enjoyed our meal, service was good, prices comparable to the other restaurants we have gone to in Cheboygan. Debbie/ Bob

    It had been 13 years since I last dined at this establishment and we finally decided to give it…read moreanother shot. What a drastic improvement from our last experience! The wife got the Wagyu Steak, I got a rack of ribs and the kids got something off the kids menu (I can't remember what). The wife raved about her steak which came with five or six fried shrimp on top. She did something she rarely does and offered me a piece. While she likes her steaks more medium and I like them medium rare, I still found the steak to be juicy and flavorful! I started out with a basket of fried mushrooms, and what came out to the table was a HUGE basket of delicious fried mushrooms. I wanted to eat them all, but I knew I had ribs coming. The mushrooms alone will bring me back to GLG! My ribs came out and they were ok, but I would probably not get them again. When I think ribs, I think of smokey goodness and I believe these were baked. Not a huge deal, just a difference between expectations and what was received. That is on me for not asking before ordering. The server was amazingly friendly and the manager (owner?) even swung by to check on us! Best of all, my wife and I found it to be a great value for the portions and quality! GLG has made it onto our rotation when visiting the great city of Cheboygan!

    Don't be fooled by the exterior, I was skeptical but the reviews we read were good so we went in…read moreand were pleasantly surprised- clean and comfortable! Staff was very attentive and accommodating. The hostess and waitress (Brie) were super Sweet! Thanks for a fantastic evening meal experience

    This was our second visit to Queen's Head Wine Pub. This is a very unique venue with an upscale,…read morewarm, lounge type feel accented by the nice furnishings, appointment's and decor. It's not pretentious, as you are greeted by the a member of their friendly staff as you enter. There are multiple facets to this venue, so it makes your visit exciting. I wont share any "spoiler's" so when you visit you can experience all the niceties personally. Food is fresh and menu changes occur seasonally. Tonite we only had appetizers but they were both very good. We had the Baked Brie, a puff pastry filled with creamy Brie and a jam dressing. It included a very tasty fruit and nut cracker, sliced apples and Carmel corn nuggets. Great combination of sweet and savory! We also had the Shrimp Cocktail. You get 8 very nice size shrimp, which were nicely chilled (nothing worse than warm shrimp) and cocktail sauce. The shrimp were fresh and meaty, good flavor. The staff is great. Riley did a great job taking care of us. We were also greeted by the owner John, who was visiting and talking with every table of guests. This IMO is a sign of a establishment that wants to insure their patrons are happy and enjoying their experience. We would definitely recommend giving them a try when in Cheboygan or the area.

    Food and drinks are unique and wonderful Great atmosphere…read moreand service There's also a theater, another bar and store connected to this bar/restaurant. Tonight there was live music, a solo guitarist. Quite a hidden treasure
