I saw families with kids enjoying themselves while others were watching the game and friends were high-fiving over a beer.

Loved their santa fe chicken egg rolls!

Food We got a Rodeo burger and the Chicken Quesadillas. Both were really good. The spicy Rodeo sauce for the burger was nice. Chicken quesadillas was plentiful and really good. Price Compared to other places around the Clam was reasonably priced. Especially considering the dishes were tasty. Restaurant The Clam had a nice feel. Tables spaced nicely. Everything looked clean. You can be seated outside on the sidewalk cafe if you'd like. Nice place. Summary We'll be back. I'll be trying the pizza next. It looked great and seems that it was a popular choice. Considering so many tourist trap restaurants around Cadillac and Lake City, the Clam seems to be a good go to.

I've been there twice now…read more First night (Saturday) there was very loud, derogatory rap music playing. Families with kids eat there, they should not have to hear stuff like that. It was very hard to communicate with the server due to the noise. The actual menu is a lot smaller then what is shown on their website. Especially fish options. I had grouper tenders which were small and mostly breading. Not worth it. Fries were excellent. Tartar sauce appeared to be pure mayo, no sign of relish or lemon at all. Ketchup, mustard, and salt were the only condiments on the table, not sure if anything else was available, like cider vinegar or even pepper. It's a pub, you would think all that stuff to be automatic. Second night (9 pm Sunday) I tried to go elsewhere because of my previous night's experience, but not many other options. Most of Alma was already closed. Tonight there was no music playing, so I was able to have a conversation. I had the olive burger with steak fries, my son had boneless wings with Thai sauce and waffle fries. Everything was very good, and a good value for the money. I guess I need a third night to be a tie-breaker.

Jen was our server/bartender, she had some great advice on whiskey tasting and mixed some solid cocktails....even has her own creations. Delish! The food was unique too. Really liked the jalapeno/onion strips and battered green beans. Delicious olive burger and waffle fries. If you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy a meal, want a taste of pre 2020 service, this is a great bet. This industry continues to be plagued with labor shortages and I don't envy them one bit but it sure is refreshing to hit those high notes during these difficult times while enjoying a good meal and supporting a small business. I can tell that the good people of Braveheart Pub really appreciate it!

I'm very disappointed with this establishment, I have worked in the restaurant business for years and i am mind blown on the way me and my family were treated by the owners of this business and the servers themselves. The place is disturbingly disgusting, Me being a restaurant worker i do know all of the health code violations and this place seems to not know anything about the health codes, They leave the cart with all your lovely toppings right next to the bathroom with no lids on any of the toppings and people are just walking right by the cart using the restroom... when we got there the server didn't even greet us for a long time and when she did she was completely rude you could tell she didn't want us there but it got worse a lot worse, Half of the table did not receive any of there food, and some had to leave because they were on there dirt bikes and it was getting late the owner did not seem to care he then started calling my mom a fat ass bitch and that she didn't need to eat any food and then started threatening her friend saying he was going to break his other arm, The owners wife then started threatening my mom calling her a bitch and was trying to fight my mom. They did not care about how bad there service was i mean they made it worse! Started a huge riot in there own bar because they didn't feel the need to give good customer service, I mean you own a bar don't you want people to be happy we are the ones who keep your restaurant open we give you money clearly they don't need it. I would stay far away from this place unless you want to be accused of drinking to much and the owner threatening you to beat your ass. NOBODY SHOULD GO HERE THEY DONT DESERVE ANY PAYING CUSTOMERS. read more

Dining at Trails End Restaurant and Pizzeria was a fantastic experience. The service was exceptional, with polite and attentive waitstaff ensuring every detail was perfect. Our party loved the food and atmosphere. The outdoor patio is a highlight, perfect for relaxing meals, especially with the outdoor bar adding charm. The rustic decor inside is inviting and comfortable. The Reuben sandwich is a standout; it's among the best I've ever had, featuring real, flavorful chunks of corned beef--not typical deli slices. I highly recommend it and will have a hard time not ordering it again. Though eager to try other menu items, the Reuben sandwich alone is worth a road trip back to Harrison. Trails End has earned a spot on my favorite dining list up north, and I'll definitely be back. Whether you're local or passing through, it's well worth the visit! read more

I have tried 4 times to go there and they are always closed. On New Year Day we stopped at 2:00 in the afternoon. There were about 10-12 side by side in the parking lot. They had a flat tire and were waiting for a replacement. And while we were asking the riders if they needed help, 2 cars pulled in and pulled back out when they saw they were closed. Stopped at the gas station on the corner and they said they had a car come in and they said they drove out to have dinner there. There were at least 20 side by side people, 4 in cars, a car at the gas station and us. That was in about 15 minutes. At lot of business was lost. I will think twice before I drive out there. Can't really rate it until I get to get in. read more

Kim is one of the kindest, most organized, fun people you'll ever meet, and the events she creates are incredible. She has a way of making everyone feel like family. I wish I could name every employee because I would literally be naming the entire staff. We have NEVER had a bad experience. When we ask our daughter where she wants to go for dinner, she always says, "The Cut." And honestly, it isn't even for the food. It's because she feels loved, welcomed, and at home there. Today, they made our daughter's 10th birthday **beyond special**so special that I actually cried. That kind of thoughtfulness means more than they probably realize. Our family all lives downstate near Detroit, and every time we're at The Cut, they make us feel like we belong here. Like we're family. Like we're loved. You can have great food anywhere. What makes The Cut different is the people who make you feel like you're coming home.
