I would absolutely give five stars if it was not 45 minutes to get our food for lunch…read more Immediately upon walking in, I was impressed. He looked a lot fancier than I expected, but still comfortable to come here for lunch. There was one server and quite a few tables, which I think posed the initial challenge. There were three of us and we each ordered something different. One colleague what are the tacos another a butter, chicken sandwich and I ordered the chicken tikka flatbread. After about 45 minutes of waiting, our food arrived, and it was absolutely delicious. I don't think I've ever had anything like that before and I'm sad that I am not local and may never have it again. Everyone was pleased with their meals. We had to ask for the check as soon as the food arrived and sadly couldn't afford any more time to savor it as much as we all wanted to. I would absolutely return but at dinner time when you can allocate possibly two hours.

As for the food... here's where the stars go down. We tried the buffalo chicken poutine and the butter chicken poutine- both were okay at best. Buffalo chicken poutine had sparse toppings and a mild flavor profile. The butter chicken poutine was much more saucy- but at the expensive of flavor. The curry tasted more like american chili than any butter chicken I've ever tasted. Maybe stick with more simple items at this establishment.

The snails were a little chewier than I had in France, but that's to be expected. The way the little layer of puff pastry soaked up the garlic butter more than made up for it. The cheese was the icing on the cake, er, snails. The walleye was some of the best I've ever eaten. It was perfectly cooked, and a real treat. It had loads of flavor, a touch of heat and was absolutely delicious. I loved the Tortino! It wasn't a big dessert, but it didn't need to be. Big on chocolate flavor and the hazelnuts were a delightful additon.

We had the whole roasted Russian River Trout and Teriyaki beef tips. Started with the warm marinated olives. I'm very objective and have to say the trout was the most superb meal I've had this year away from home. I had to ask how they sourced the fish because I was amazed at how clean, fresh, and flavorful it was. We are both lifelong foodies and skilled cooks so the whole dish service was exciting and not commonly done. The staff were also handling a wedding on the rooftop, but service was excellent regardless. Our waitress really listened to everything we said and ensured our food was served as we preferred. I was also pleased that we're were able to move to an acceptable table away from foot traffic. I would have been bumped on repeat otherwise with the wedding guests coming down. I hope the couple and guests had a great experience as well! Forgot to congratulate them. So happy to finally give 5 stars! Keep up this tempo VT.

On a separate note, we were visiting the lighthouse and asked about the restaurant and the woman at the gift shop recommended it and said the thing that she liked about the restaurant the best was every single item on the menu featured something from Michigan.

I've been there a few times now and what I observe is people eating not people enjoying a unique tasty meal with water views. I saw people eat and leave quickly without really enjoying their meal. Based on our meals, what I saw coming out of the kitchen and how fast it came out, Freighters must be serving a lot of frozen product, basically pub food. The cheese curds were the saddest, greasiest one I ever had (they were squares not curds) and hit the trash when we got home. Service was good. Not sure what the answer is. Perhaps it is just the taste of the people in the area...they like what they like. The Entrees on the menu were somewhat diverse and it looks like they are trying to upscale a little. We vacation to the thumb area often and finding good dining even good pub dining is very challenging.

I never knew what that meant until we went in and I read the back of the menu. My wife said people recommended this place on the state park camping fb page. So we finally tried. First off I'm not a big chicken fan but I think I will declare this the best chicken on the bone I have ever eaten. The "Chicken in the Rough" dinner is outstanding. It had a great flavor. I had the Traditional Dinner. It was a half chicken with fries & coleslaw & a dinner roll. I loved it all but didn't try the slaw I'm not a fan of that stuff. She had Chicken Tenders & Waffles with Honey & Pecan syrup on the side. I tried a bite of tenders it was very good but didn't have the same coating as mine so not AS good. I didn't try the Waffles but she said they were good. I would definitely get that Traditional Dinner again. I unfortunately didn't think to take a picture of our meals. Lots of food for both of us. Only downside I'd say is Pepsi products. There is a full bar though, but it was lunch so we resisted. The place says established 1936 it definitely had an old timey feel. I would guess 50's or 60's style but I wasn't around then so I'm just guessing what they were like. As always for Brian if he's still reading mine.... The napkin were two decent dinner napkins wrapped around our silverware, then a stack of cheapo diner napkins like you would have in a chrome dispenser on the table of a greasy spoon diner. I definitely was glad there was a lot of them, they knew I would need them. Don't hesitate to stop in I would recommend it for sure.
