The Lodge - Tawas City

I wouldn't recommend this place for lunch. I ordered the wet burrito, and the portion was quite small with hardly any beef, plus it was drenched in too much sauce. The service was also very slow, even though there were only four other couples in the restaurant.

The fish was fantastic! I’m willing to make the drive just to visit this restaurant again.

The staff is incredibly friendly, the food is delicious, and they offer a great $2 beer special after work.

Dirty, small areas. Basically touching the people behind you. Long wait times, slow service. Waited 10 minutes for water and coffee. Took our order and waited 45 minutes. No refills on coffee or checking in. Saw 3 different servers, one who asked for our drink order someone else brought the drink order and someone else took the food order. All while waiting, not one time did anyone check in but continued cleaning off tables, seating people, and clearly seeing us sitting there with empty cups and no food for an hour! I finally address the situation with our server, she said she had switched to using paper for taking orders, and is unsure if it got put in or cashed out. I asked for a manager and she said she was the manager. I asked how this was to be handled and she said we could leave or they could place the order again. Not offering any part of the meal on the house due to their inconvenience .This is by far the worst experience I have had at a restaurant in Tawas. They should be embarrassed for how unorganized, unprofessional their manager is.

If I could give a lower score I would. They don’t know what they’re doing. Line at the door with no one acknowledging people. Once we were finally sat down, the girl walked away and then we didn’t have anyone come back to the table. Then when we asked for help after waiting literally (not at all exaggerated) 25min, I finally flagged someone down and we were meet with hostility, just for asking if we had a waitress for our section. How this place is in business is solely location. Just know what you get with a place that doesn’t care.
