The worst place I have ever been. The bathrooms for one a horrid. The burgers are always undercooked, and the shakes are small and not worth the money. Need I say more? (more)

I used to work for this restaurant when I was in junior-high school (1987-1988). I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and have always made it a point to return when in the northern Michigan area. They offer award-winning... (more)
