The Dogpatch Restaurant — Restaurant in Munising

Food is overpriced for what you get and the quality of the food is bar food at best. We all ordered something different and it seems to be frozen pre-packaged food service foods that they deep fry and serve. The location is great, close to fun shops and it’s cute inside but sadly the food did not do it for us. Additionally, we all had not eaten during the day because we were traveling so this was the first meal in about 6 or so hours. All of us were pretty sick about 5 hours after eating here. The only common items we had were the French fries and a cheese queso for the fries. Our thought is the queso was old or not stored properly. We were pretty sick for the next day or so then we all started bouncing back. Granted, we have no solid proof of them and food poisoning so I am just stating details, draw your own conclusions.

Sadly, there are not many good restaurant options in the town. It is a tourist town but leaves them hanging with no great options. This place was probably one of the few restaurants that seemed to have good potential but in the end it was a let down. The best thing we found that wasn’t fried and processed was SubWay. Terrible!

Overall it’s a cute restaurant and the food will fill you up but that’s it, no real wow factor here and there obviously is a potential for food poisoning. I’m not sure I would recommend this place but everyone can decide for themselves and leave a review so that we all can put together...

Food was quick, hot, and good enough for the kids! The burger was good, nothing to write home about and not bad at all, but the cheese curds were great! The kids loved their food. Our server was a young guy, did a pretty good job, just was very busy and distracted so it took a while for him to pick up the check.

The not so great: When you walk in, it’s a very narrow hallway (where the bathroom doors are btw) and that’s where you wait to be seated (so you have to keep scooting over so people can get to the bathrooms or back out the doors to the parking lot). It’s very odd branding based on some obscure old comic that is questionably tasteful- gives an odd vibe, and the menus are all written in the same vernacular of the comic, which is interesting to read, to say the least, but I pity anyone whose first language isn’t English trying to decipher the menu.

This place has apparently been around for a long time, and it shows. The whole restaurant is pretty dimly lit- not in a romantic way. The dark plaid carpets show every bit of food and straw wrapper. The women’s bathroom was dirty, and the stalls are super tiny and unlit. Rolls of paper towel were set on the sink where they got soaked from people washing their hands because the dispenser wasn’t working. The bathroom stalls are also absolutely not wheelchair accessible!

We needed something fast for the kids, who were hungry, so it served its purpose, but I think we’ll try somewhere...

I was up on a family vacation here and this was the "highly" suggested restaurant in the area. I honestly do not know what people in the area see in this restaurant. First off the hosts were not watching for incoming guests, we had to get their attention to get a table. Then it was over 10 minutes before our server even came to get our drink order, and we had already picked out our food orders by then. It was over 15 minutes before we got our drinks after ordering, one drink of which the bar tenders didn't even know how to make. Two of us had the buffet- the fish was barely warm and tasted extremely fishy, the shrimp Alfredo was colder, seemed like the food isn't changed out very often. Another member of my family got a chicken sandwich that tasted like 'cardboard', the french fries she got were cold and limp. When we commented to our waitress about this she just said "oh" and walked away. No apologies. One bite of the sandwich and maybe a couple fries was eaten, and we were "graciously" returned $3 for this $16 uneaten meal. We ended up feeding it to my dog. My whole family had to go out to dinner AGAIN not even 2 hours later because the food was unappetizing. The place also was not that busy. Management should be ashamed of the service of their staff, customer service, and the poor quality of food. As someone that works in food service, this place is a huge...
