Gf and I got the whitefish tacos. Cannot go wrong here - great food! They did forget our carrot cake dessert but in all fairness it was totally closing time and I should have double checked. I called and talked to a kind Nick later on. He fixed it all better. 10/10 will be back. Their whitefish tacos, chips, and carrot cake are all perfect

Only 5 stars? I wish I could give them 10! This was our first time visiting the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and wow the food is just splendid. This was the first restaurant we tried in town and it did not disappoint. Our family of 6 came in shortly after noon and upon entering were happy to see there was seating available for us. The table cover they used was great since our kiddo was able to draw on it with crayons thus creating less mess. We ordered the chili cheese fries as appetizer which were very good and a great portion for all of us to share!! We also had the pork tacos, the inn burgers, 3 piece fish & chips, side salad, and the river hog. Everything was simply fresh and amazing. The pictures does not do it justice, the portions are Texas big. The river hog was absolutely amazing, I am drooling just thinking about it. My only regret is not having had carrot cake everyone has raved about. Maybe next time 10/10 recommend. Cheers from Texas

Friendly staff, great food and drinks, everything made in-house. Music in the dining area would be a nice additional touch.

The food was really good, everyone was friendly and the bar guy was great. Forgot to put in the to go part of my order so there was a little wait there. I like that they give you crayons to draw on the paper table toppers. It's manages combining a bar feel with a family restraunt pretty successfully.

This restaurant is off the beaten path. I tell you, it was spectacular, we had the best food, and the bartender was amazing. If you ever pass by it, you better turn around and go in and enjoy your meal

A wonderful U.P. dining experience. The fresh whitefish was perfect and the mozzarella sticks were the best I've ever had. The photos of the carrot cake do not do it justice....the slice is GIGANTIC!

My boyfriend got the logsplitter sandwich and he said it was great. I got the wings I ordered the blackened rub, I couldn't eat them because they were way too salty. Thankfully I ordered burnt ends for an appetizer to share and those were good. Beer was good and cold. I sat at the same table I sat at 4 years ago and it still wobbles. I think I just ordered the wrong wings for myself because that's what I ordered the last time and they were good. The server was very friendly and attentive. We didn't get it but the carrot cake looked delicious. I would try it again.
