    The service was great. I had the waters edge platter. It was awesome. Best coleslaw I've ever had. The decor is very cool and made the atmosphere even more fun.

    My husband and I have gone here many times for drinks and keno, but just finally tried out the food. My husband got the Delmonico steak and a Cesar salad, both which he said were delicious. I had the walleye with sweet potatoes fries and side salad. Everything was great but the walleye lacked flavor. It's so great that they have NA wine on their menu, which is really hard to come by. Staff was extremely attentive and checked on us often. Ambience is laid back in the bar area. Unfortunately we had a booth right near the doors to the kitchen. It was a bit chaotic and noisy the entire meal which was a downfall. Also the prices for entrees are quite hefty. The couple next to us had sandwiches that looked amazing which we'll try next time. Overall nice spot but a little pricey.

    Food was plentiful, hearty, mostly hot. Drinks were cold Service was attentive, But.. Crosscut chicken main was supposed to have a cream sauce not a tomato sauce. Totally destroyed the rest of the dish. Super for upper Michigan but soso for any where else

    Do I recommend this Restaurant, I would say Yes in a Heart beat. However my mom wouldn't. Our waiter was Stephen he was extremely knowledgeable about how the food was cooked and was able to accommodate medical and food allergies! I got Surf & Turf* I ordered the vegetable medley, & a baked potato. I was disposable the waiter said they add salt to the out side of the potato & when it arrived NO salt in or outside the baked potato & where wasn't any butter in the potato either. I have several medical/food allergies and the restaurant was able to accommodate me. What they did different was they didn't add steak seasoning to the steak, but instead cooked it in the garlic butter instead. I thought this tasted INCREDIBLE!! I would Definitely order this again!! Worth the $29 price tag(February 2025)! The 2 things I would like to see change is offering Sweet Tea, and offer "Timber" Restaurant on Door Dash! Mom ordered the Fresh WhiteFish, normally is breaded, but do to milk allergy they baked it and only put paparika as the seasoning. Mom plans on feeding the fish to the puppy. Unfortunately, my mom doesn't recommend the fish as it was lacking flavor! Fresh WhiteFish was $25(feb 2025).My father ordered 12oz Timber Prime Rib. He said it was lacking salt/seasoning. However did state that is was mostly good and at $38(feb2025).

    Food was fantastic, we both had the Timber Sampler plate with whitefish, 2 types of shrimp and crab Alfredo...simply amazing all around. Our waitress Kayla was spot on with great customer service and so friendly! We will be back for a very nice dining experience. The knotty pine, rustic old school decor make the atmosphere so quaint. In spite of being very busy it was easy to have a conversation!! I took half of my plate home

    Was up visiting and camping in Cadillac and this restaurant was recommended to us by a family friend. If you're in the Cadillac area, I highly recommend giving this place a try! Our service was great! Our waitress was very friendly, social, and knowledgeable. I loved the decor of the restaurant, very reminiscent of the history of the town. I think it adds a nice touch and character to the place. Our food was absolutely delicious. All of us enjoyed our food and left very full and very satisfied. Plus we had leftovers! They had a good list of beers on tap. I didn't eat them, because I'm allergic, but the fried mushrooms were absolutely huge and delicious according to those who had them. They highly recommend them for an appetizer. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. If I'm back back in the Cadillac area, I would definitely come back!

    Won't be back, and I suggest you all avoid this place also…read more Restaurant So we're seated in the far corner next to the swamp, not waterfront, swamp. The walls were dirty. The windows were dirty. We had a good view of snakes and spiders and just a swamp. Service Like a lot of people are saying the wait staff here at this place is definitely rough. Not nice. Don't seem to really be too interested in customer service. That should've been the tip for us to leave right then. Food We both got the ribeye sandwich. It really should've been called a grilled cheese sandwich with grease that tastes like meat. You can see in the pictures. This is what they served us. This is what they were proud of. This is what they're saying bring the family home is their motto? For what, a greasy grilled cheese that taste like crap for $18.99 and you gotta pay $4 dollars more to get fries. We took a couple of bites and then we brought it home. And then we threw it away. Cost So here's the end of it. $18.99 for each sandwich. They weren't worth much more than five bucks. If that. Then you have to pay more for fries. And four dollars for an iced tea. I'm attaching our bill... 52 bucks plus tip out the door. Let's just say it was pretty much 52 bucks. I didn't tip much on this gig. Summary Waterfront restaurant is a swamp and not Lake Cadillac as you would expect. Customer service that is lacking for sure Food just sucks and not even worth the cost at all. They obviously don't care about keeping their restaurant clean or about serving food that customers actually like and they're proud to serve. $52 for two sandwiches and two drinks. We are locals here to Cadillac and I will never stop foot in this place again. We've been here once before and we left because we didn't even have anybody come and wait on us after we were seated. I don't know why we went back this time, but we won't be going again. I suggest all you people coming up here to enjoy the great up north don't spoil your vacation by stopping in to Burke's Waterfront.

    What a gem! We were traveling up to Traverse City in the midst of a little ice storm and decided…read morestop by here for lunch. Very cute place. 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.

We saw the sign for BC Pizza and quickly turned into the parking lot. The outside of the restaurant is unpretentious and not the most welcoming, but once inside - it's cozy and clean! They also had toys, crayons, coloring books, and board games for kids to play with! What a win! The lady at the front was SO SWEET. We had initially planned to order a large pizza, sub, and cinnamon sticks for our table, but I had noticed the salad bar and wanted to add that, as well. Rather than let us run up a huge bill, she explained that if our family opted for the buffet it would end up being much cheaper and she would make sure to put out the pizza we had already planned to order. The buffet consisted of soup, salad, breadsticks, cinnamon sticks, pizza, and a drink. And because it was the end of the month, the price was half off so we ended up with a total of $16 for four people to eat to their hearts content!!! (Not all heroes wear capes, y'all.....) And the food was delicious! My husband always gets weary of buffet places because for what you pay in price, the quality of the food is usually lacking. But not here! The pizzas came out hot and were so flavorful! The crust was just right and they had extra marinara sauce in the salad area for dipping. My favorite was the salad bar: everything was crisp and fresh! And the homemade chicken noodle soup! Everything was perfect! Totally wish this place was closer to us, or that there was another location nearby. We would return here over and over again. The staff was great, especially the kind lady at the front. She had a huge smile on her face and was so helpful and welcoming. BC Pizza was truly the best way to end our family trip!
