    Went late in the day. Food was exactly what I wanted and cooked to perfection. My mom had one of their larger salads and I had their shrimp and fries. Highly recommend. The service was great. I also forgot my receipt at the time I was at the store. I called a day later and they were able to print it and text it to me, which was extremely helpful since I was on a business trip. I will be adding this restaurant to my route next time in town.

    We stopped here on our way back to Grand Rapids from Mackinaw City and had the best perch dinner I've ever eaten at a restaurant. It was clean and quaint. We will be stopping here again on our trips north.
