We sat outside under a pergola. Most of the seating is inside. They have several TVs for sports games and news. They had several good local beers on tap. The bathrooms were very clean. We ordered two kids chicken fingers, a chicken club and chipotle chicken tacos. The food was fantastic. We got sweet potato fries with a sweet maple dip and Parmesan garlic fries with a spicy aoli. The service was very good and fast. I think we were in and out in less than an hour. I loved the cute cottage decor. There's plenty of parking for busy days. Wheelchair accessibility: There's a wheel chair ramp to the front door. There are no booths, only tables with chairs spread out.

The venue is spacious, and leading edge. They have a great selection of MI craft beers. There's a big screen TV dedicated to information about the beers on tap with brewery location and info about the taste and content of the beer. Overall great place to visit while your siteseeing in the MI UP.
