“I am from northern WI and this bar reminds me of God’s country in every way. It is a stellar place to dine and eat.”
— Brent Pierce★★★★★
“If you've never eaten in/been to Michigan, go here first! Very friendly atmosphere, regulars seem to love the place! The food was phenomenal (the Hickory Burger is huge! And beyond delicious 🤤) Nissie was so sweet, and just lovely 😊”
— Calindra Smith★★★★★
“If you love a good dive bar - this is the place to go. Tracy is the best!! The perch was excellent and too much for one person to eat. The bar crinkle fries are delish. Hubby got the calzone - not quite what he expected. It is HUGE with TONS of cheese. Could feed 4 people. If you love cheese and bread - this is a winner for you. It has been so long since we were here and it won’t be that long again.”
— Tamara KnappFrequently Asked Questions
Portions are famously large - the calzone can feed 4 people and the perch dinner is described as too much for one person. Come hungry!
Classic dive bar with friendly locals and staff who remember regulars. It's casual, welcoming, and has that authentic Northern Michigan tavern feel.
The Hickory Burger, fresh perch dinners, massive calzones, and their pizza are customer favorites. The bar crinkle fries are also highly praised.
Absolutely! While regulars love it, the friendly staff makes newcomers feel welcome. Many reviews mention it's a great introduction to Michigan dive bar culture.
They can get busy during peak times and sometimes run with a smaller staff, but the quality of food and service makes any wait worthwhile.
