Located at 19327 Caberfae Hwy, Wellston, this restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it's a community hub for anyone exploring the Manistee National Forest.

Traditional Flavors & Signature Dishes

The menu focuses on hearty, "stick-to-your-ribs" American comfort food designed to fuel a long day of outdoor activities:

• Classic American Fare: They are known for their juicy, hand-pressed Burgers and generous Baskets (shrimp, chicken, or fish) served with perfectly seasoned fries.

• Signature Comfort: Locals rave about their Homemade Pizzas and savory Sandwiches. The portions are notoriously large, ensuring no one leaves hungry.
