I'm local, but I've only been here twice. The first time, we ordered 2 pizzas and breadsticks. It took an hour and a half. We were hungry when we got there, so we were very hungry when we got the food. It was decent food. I thought maybe the wait time was a fluke.
The second time we ate, we ordered ahead of time. My wife placed the order, and I went to pick up. The older lady at the counter was snarky and downright rude. I politely asked how much longer the food would take, honestly wondering the answer. She replied, "well they told you 6:30, so 20 more minutes." I thought it was somewhat rude, but didn't think much of it. Then when my visiting father paid with cash, she very rudely said "you people and your cash," as if it were some burden on them. We got our food at 6:45, 15 minutes late. It would have been later, but my wife texted me and said she had received a text that it was done. They had it in the back for who knows how long. Then the older lady followed us out to the parking lot because she thought she gave us the wrong order. She went through all five boxes, worried that she had given us someone else's pizza. She was nicer to us in the parking lot, presumably because she thought she had screwed up. Not sure if I'll give them another shot. After reading some of the other reviews, it seems this isn't unusual treatment...
Read moreWe’ve been searching Michigan for the perfect “burger” and after three years of eating examples all over the State, I believe we just might have found a serious contender for the #1 spot. The burger is a mixture of brisket, tenderloin and ribeye. The Kaiser roll was toasted perfectly, the lettuce and tomato looked very fresh. The only option offered was would you like cheese and and what kind would I like? Gouda, of course… We sat at the bar waiting for our to go meal and had an impressive craft IPA. Oh, the burgers were cooked to perfection, her’s medium and mine, rare as they were willing to go. Rare? Yup, I know… but if they are willing to go rare ( and it was) that tells me three things. 1: They trust their supplier, 2: They know how to store and prep it, 3: They have an excellent chef that knows how to correctly cook a rare burger. It’s not as easy as you think. The staff was excellent and the bar area was immaculate. As a side note, speed is not their forte, bit of a wait as the kitchen is small. But, it was well worth the wait.
As an update to the original review, one year later, we still haven’t found a place that makes a burger like...
Read moreSauce, suds, served on a bed of surly. Stopped in since it’s near our rental cabin and once we told them we wanted to eat outside, it was a “serve yourself, you’re on your own, wait in line” mentality. Ok, we can do that. Bartender was surly and very inhospitable. We just wanted some recommendations on the microbrews on tap. Once she knew we wanted to dine outside, it was a scolding of what we could and couldnt drink outside. Ok, ok…we understand we’re lower level customers since we want to sit in your lovely beer garden on a beautiful evening. There will be NO SERVICE and now our drinking options are limited. Once they beat the NO SERVICE into our heads, we were able to order a beer and our food, sit outside and wait, then go inside and retrieve our food. Pizza was good, chicken wrap was not. They acted like we were a pain in their side. When we went back in to use the restrooms, we got major stink-eye. Not locals, never been here before, don’t know the rules, never...
