Olive burger and fries. Best olive burger in West Michigan... No exaggeration. Bell's two hearted ale
My 7 year old said the best french fries of her life. Everything else we ordered was great as well.
Great staff. Worked with Courtney to handle our large group. She made sure the first stop on our poker run was great!
Gage and Tristian was our cooks and food was amazing(prolly best burger I ever ate and gizzards were on point), service was fast, polite, food was hot, and the view was beyond beautiful out on the deck...highly recommended especially for family or date night.. me and my fiance will be regulars from now on..:hands down best place in croton
Great food for being bar food.. They source their burger and some other products locally. Service is amazing every time we are there. The huge outdoor deck is a fun place to hang out in the summertime. My Husband also loves they have a pool table. Our go to local gem!
Waitress was amazing and attentive! Kitchen staf was super fast on our food and Tristen & Gage absolutely killed our food! Best burger I’ve had in a while. The outdoor seating on the deck was a really wonderful addition to our evening! Definitely check them out you won’t be disappointed!
Absolutely phenomenal place to have a peaceful and out of this world landscape view meal and of course some beer or chilled whiskey in summertime. Literally lake is below the deck where you are sitting. Patio is not that roomy so make sure go there early to seat by the edge of it. I asked for a D-Wood melt burger on a rye bread and it was delicious. This is one of those places you dreamed of being sometime in your life. Server was very kind and attentive.
