We were heading home from Lansing and stopped into this Town to see what was going on for the day since it was a beautiful Sunday. We were driving by Lake Lansing and came upon this restaurant just in time for lunch. It looks like it belongs in a beach resort town with the open garage doors and rooftop seating. I got the fish tacos and the choice was pan fried fish or blackened fish. I chose the blackened fish. They had a bit of a bite to them which I like. They also came with rice and coleslaw which was pretty tasty. My friend got the grouper sandwich and it came with french fries and coleslaw and he really enjoyed it.

Stopped for lunch with a group of friends. They expect you to have qr reader to get the menu. This is not always good for a group of older ladies. They did have a couple of badly used paper menus which we had to share. Food was ok. A nice day so windows were open. They charge you the merchant fee if you use a credit card...a big strike against them for most of us who prefer to use the card and something that should be noted on the menu. Can't recommend nor are we likely to go there again.

I had lunch on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, the place was hopping and the waitresses were basically running from table to bar to kitchen. I ordered a large pizza and sat with a beer and patience while I waited for lunch. The pizza was great and was the daily special with $6 off. I will be back again and again...

We stopped by for lunch. When we received our bill we noticed that they charged $1.50 for 2 packages of mayonnaise for my husbands burger. If that isn't bad enough, they didn't tell us ahead of time that there was an extra charge. Food was just ok. Will not return!

Took a long time to get service and drinks took a long time to come. Food took over an hour to come out and was all ice cold. Server stated there was no manager available and all she could do for a discount is take 1 drink off the bill. Definitely won’t be returning.

Went for a late Sunday lunch. Perch baskets were good. Margarita flatbread fresh and delicious. Unique atmosphere. In a COVID world, this place has garage doors that are open, so you can eat in open air seating. We will like to go back.

This place is wonderful! First the staff is always friendly and attentive. The food never disappoints. Our group mostly orders “nibbles” and shares the delicious options. Lastly the restaurant is always spotless! It’s definitely a favorite!!! Go and enjoy!!

We have been here before and really loved the food and atmosphere.I was so looking forward to it today. We seated ourselves at a dirty and cluttered table from the previous diners. We waited patiently for 40 minute and received no service whatsoever. Not even a glass of ice water.or was the table ever cleared. We left and went to a establishment nearby and received prompt service and amazing food. I will mot be returning.

We had fun! There is a tropical, rooftop patio, a lively bar, and tonight, anyway, live music. Excellent grouper tacos, onion rings, and a salad with house made ranch dressing. Although this is a beer type place, they had a nice Chardonnay.

This is the kind of place you know you're going to enjoy. A largely open-air dining room/tavern just a stone's throw from Lake Lansing. Friendly, efficient service. A great selection of regional beers that go perfectly with simple, well-made meals. Like bluegill. I don't ever recall seeing pan-fried bluegill on a menu and, despite the $24 price, it was tempting even if the fish was frozen and not fresh. But I was in the mood for yellow perch and my basket ($16) of a half-dozen perfectly fried fillets, along with good fries and average slaw made for a satisfying, late-morning lunch. If I was a local, I wouldn't be surprised if I become a regular. I wish TripAdvisor would allow half-star increments in ratings. I gave this 3 stars, though 3 ½ is far more accurate.

Open in App Jon S.’s Reviews 1.0 star rating First and last visit! ...My date and I looked foward to great meal and catching up from a hard week. Arriving at 5 pm we waited for no less than 30 mins before Bella appears...takes our drink order and food order comes back 20 mins later with drinks and then gone for over 1 hour. After hunting her down twice... she reappears with what is by far the worst food i have had served EVER. My lukewarm walleye on an cold cast iron skillet... room temp! Lady friends blue gill platter...truly cold. Starving. ...we ate the trash anyways... meanwhile our clam chowder soup and salad was not delivered. Bella brings us some tomato bean soup ...not the clam chowder...and a lousy iceberg salad with stale goldfish in it AFTER the main course. The last straw now...Demanding a manager fell on deaf ears.... my rage grew from there. That little twit needs to sit home jobless. And ownership should take note that i will likely never return. The food was mrs pauls quality....if that.. and very much overpriced. To their credit... mgt took care of $40 tab. Also note i am a generous tipper typically 20 percent for even mediocre service and food. This time it was a big fat zero. Neither i nor my lady enjoyed any part of this bs...except perhaps the drinks. We even talked about simply bolting without saying a word. Bella would have never noticed. My advice? Eat somewhere...anywhere...else. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

If you only knew of some of stories the cooks tell about what happens to the food in the kitchen. You may want to skip.the floorsteak with the special sauce alltogether.

Dinner with friends was the best of times. BGG had their windows wide open, so it was like dining outdoors. The Grouper Fish Tacos I had we're the best with huge pieces of fish.

My daughter and I had lunch here after golfing recently nearby. We both had salads, mine was the grilled chicken and hers was the Asian salad. Both were very good. Our waitress was new & had a trainer with her but she did fine & was attentive. Would come here again.

Have never been here but decided to take a friend as a birthday treat. Was six of us and sat in the lower level by an open garage door. Was a pleasant day so this was enjoyable. Unfortunately the 6 top was under a TV that was way too loud considering there was no sports to speak of on a Wednesday evening. Once we all arrived it took a long time to have a server address us. Didn't offer water but provided the tap list for us to enjoy before ordering. Beers (and water) took a long time as well. Our server was Leah and she seemed new and the only one taking care of this area. Had been excited that they had Cheboygan Blood Orange on tap because you never see that choice. Definitely was not! Told Leah and she brought a taste of something but that was also not it. Blackened fish tacos were VERY spicy. Asian salad was pretty good, grouper sandwich was lacking much fish. Food also took a long time and even getting our bills. One of the checks were wrong and even though the beer I ordered was not that, she still charged as if it were what was ordered. Had there not been a group, I would have spoken up. All at our table agreed that this was not decent service and the meal was so-so. Won't go back. Was disappointing....and I forgot to use my coupon for 1/2 off an entree.
