Staff was great although she was embarrassed because we returned the white Russian cocktail to her because they used spoiled cream that curdled and because they were out of the appetizer we ordered (pork rhines). All in all it was a good dining experience. I will add we dined inside to avoid bugs around the river while we ate. Didn't matter because the patio door was open the whole while we were there, so we kept having to shue flies!

The food was quite tasty, though not quite five-star quality. The service was good, and the location is fantastic, right by the river. read more The food was quite tasty, though not quite five-star quality. The service was good, and the location is fantastic, right by the river.

The meat was so tender that it practically fell off the bone. I enjoyed a local craft beer from Cheboygan, which was a nice touch. Plus, we were seated right by the river. I've been visiting Higgins for 45 years, and this was my first time here—what a hidden gem!

I give a ten to the pulled pork, the mashed potatoes, the baked beans and the cornbread! I give a 10 to that awesome white chocolate lemon cheesecake! Service was great. They were quick and friendly and kept the lemonade coming!

Our waiter, Derrick, stopped by shortly after we were seated to let us know he would be with us soon, and he kept his promise. About five minutes later, he came to our table, explained the menu thoroughly, and was incredibly friendly and helpful. The food came out quickly and was delicious! Derrick was fantastic! We will definitely return the next time we are in the area. Great job, Ray Stopp!

Pulled pig sliders with Cole slowly on the bungalow and the Rattlesnake Fries were delish!

The red one has a little too much paprika flavor for my taste. The spicy one was very good with a nice mustard front end and plenty of heat to finish. Staff was friendly and attentive. Glad we stopped will look for an excuse to make our way here again.

The wait staff was pulling double duty as hostess as well, but they never missed abeat.

The pulled pork had an exceptional flavor, and there was a selection of sauces available at the table to enhance it. Although we sat indoors, the nearby brook added a delightful touch to the experience, even from afar. The service was both friendly and efficient. The waitstaff also took on the role of hostess, yet they managed to keep everything running smoothly without missing a step.
