    Great place!

    Great spot! They were so dog friendly - they strive to make sure the dogs were just as comfortable as us. Provided water bowls and treats (with permission, of course)! Food was good and a great selection of beer.

    The most dog friendly place ever!

    We had such a great time bringing our 9 year old golden retriever here! I know other reviews mentioned limited seating, but as of spring ‘21 their ENTIRE outdoor area is dog friendly, and let me tell you, it’s no small area. There are 15+tables outside on the patio, with options to be seated under their covered patio. Of course if you go during peak hours, like afternoon/ dinner on weekends there will probably be a wait because it’s one of the more popular places in town, but that is just like any good restaurant on a weekend. Everyone is super super nice, from the host stand to the wait staff! They brought a bowl of water right over for our girl and milk bone as well, and embraced her demands for pets, which put a smile on all of our faces. They are super sanitary and conscious too, every one that stopped by to pet her walked right over to the sink and thoroughly washed their hands before going about what they were doing. By the end of the night I think we’d met everyone in the restaurant, staff and patrons alike! The food is some of my favorite too, there are some really unique options I’ve never seen everywhere else like ‘tot-chos’ ‘brick of fries’ and the most amazing ‘firecracker burger’. The pizza is some of the best in town too. highly highly recommend, we go often because of how much we love it and our girl does too!

    This place is an absolute delight. Loved the food, the service and their kind attitude towards my pup. Will definitely go again.

    Great service & AMAZING food!

    We were able to sneak our 2 dogs through the restaurant to the side patio (which was covered!) and enjoy our dinner out there. The staff was so nice and even brought out a pitcher of water for our pups. The manager on duty checked in often and was very nice! My fiance and I both LOVED our meals (Alaskan cod & crab stuffed whitefish). 10/10 will be back

    #DogFriendlyArea

    Thanks Robert for your review earlier. It showed up just I was looking. The waitress brought ice water and dog bone treats. Our dog loves ice water but has never to my knowledge ate a dog bone treat, until today she loved them.

    Then the food came. Stuffed burger was surprisingly good. The BBQ brisket bacon burger was awesome. Service was perfect. A touch expensive but overall well worth it.

    Gave a dog(s) a bone!

    Outdoor dog seating on the sidewalk was great. Was seated and they provided a water dish and big treat for each of our dogs without us asking! Service was good and the the food was typical pub fare., hot and tasty. No indoor seating for dogs so winter seating is not provided.

    Only 5 Tables That Allow Dogs

    We stoped here on the way to mackinaw city because of the good reviews. They have since changed their rules From dogs are allowed outside to, there are limited dog seating. We called ahead but still waited for an hour. It was a fine place but not as dog friendly as I hoped.

    Very Dog Friendly!

    Dogs are allowed on their outdoor patio. Our server brought our pup a water bowl as well as some treats right away. Great food and service! Pup got a lot of love from the staff as well. 😊
