The standard bun is a brioche - ask for it extra toasted. Then add Grilled Onions, pickles, lettuce, and extra Thousand Island dressing to emulate In-N-Out Burger Animal Style. It's a simple way to elevate & ensure your burger enjoyment. I love modding my order like this. Their waffle fries are seasoned and tasty. Super friendly staff and lots of extra-cold beer on tap exemplify the wholesome Northern Michigan vibe. Lots of TVs and a cozy, not-too-bright environment. I would totally go back.

If you're getting a side of biscuits and gravy... plan to share it with someone. So many great options to choose from. Don't think you can go wrong with anything you decide on. A few tables outside but mostly inside. Smaller diner with 2 bathrooms (one men and one women). Our server was nice and made sure we were happy with our choices. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a biscuit and she warned me that the biscuit was too large and advised me to choose something else and I'm glad I did because AGAIN... the biscuits are MASSIVE! And delicious :)

I always get the chicken tenders and fries. The fries are made with a beer batter and they are amazing. They are crunchy but soft and melt in your mouth. I absolutely love them and my kids loved them too. My husband had a burger as usual and loved them. The service here is amazing. We got asked multiple times if we needed anything. They got me water for my kids too. It is super nice and quiet towards the back which is really great if you have kids. I love the rustic vibe as well. We will be back as usual

It was better than what I've enjoyed at various traditional Cajun/Creole restaurants over the years. The difference? The flavors were spot on. The consistency of the soup was perfect -- not too thick, not too runny. The Beef & Cheddar Burger was a patty made from brisket and browned on both sides to a light crust and topped with cheddar cheese melted on top on a hamburger bun. I added a little of their BBQ sauce instead of my usual burger condiments. It was fantastic! I've heard Ray's is great, but I had no idea they were this great!

I ordered the lumberjack breakfast and our server accidentally entered it as the Mini Jack, which is basically a half portion for kids. This was perfect for me, as the full portion would have been way too much food and I didn't realize I could order the Mini Jack... happy accident. :) My boyfriend's ham & cheese omelette was delicious. He's also a corned beef hash snob and gave it a double thumbs up. It was opening day for rifle season, and albeit being extremely busy, we did find a seat no problem and it never affected their service.

If…read morelike me, you've found yourself jumping from brunch spot to brunch spot during the busy season in Grayling, desperately looking for somewhere to eat deep-fried food and perhaps enjoy a cocktail, while finding yourself with 1-2 hour waits, and questioning the meaning of life... look no further. Sure it's not fancy, and it's definitely not trendy, but the food is solid, the atmosphere and service are authentic, and everything is just good enough to make you happy you skipped the lines. You'll be home in a carb coma, long before you'd even be served downtown at the local brew pub.

I had the basket of chicken tenders with seasoned fries and she had a corned beef sammich with Cole slaw, and we each had a lemonade. The annual Au Sable Canoe Marathon is this weekend (which I was not aware of) and though the place was busy they seated us right away. Our server Katie was a regular customer and joined the staff not long after discovering the place, and we could tell that she enjoys her job. She's good at it, too. When in Grayling, come to the Gray Rock and have an appetizer or a meal, or maybe just a beer or two. Live music and a panoply of comedic talent takes the stage regularly. You won't be sorry you came!

The atmosphere is lively--maybe a little too lively, with music blasting so loud it's hard to carry on a conversation. The salad bar was decent, and our waitress was friendly but clearly overwhelmed. We ordered an Italian grinder and a chicken-fried steak with the salad bar, but a few minutes later she returned to let us know they were out of steak. Another ten minutes passed before she came back to take a replacement order. Unfortunately, our meals weren't entered together. About 35 minutes into our visit, drinks finally arrived. Ten minutes after that, my dinner showed up... but the other entrée didn't make it to the table for another 20-25 minutes. By that point, we'd already shared mine and asked for the second meal to be boxed up. Between the long waits, the out-of-stock entrée, and the overly loud music, this just wasn't the relaxing dinner we'd hoped for. While the Wall of Honor is a nice touch, I wouldn't save this spot in my GPS for a return trip.
