Great Lakes Grill - Cheboygan

Nice hometown dinner spot. Great food and even better service. Sheri and her staff take great care to see you enjoy youreal

Very happy with our meal. Coleslaw was very tangy and horse radish strong, but I really liked it. Cod and fries were delicious. Staff was very friendly. Service was great. 2019 update. Had to drop a star from our first visit. Granted, it was very busy July 4/5 weekend, but we waited a very long time for our meal, and it was very cold when we got it. Our server was not very attentive this time.

Awesome diner. Great people, food and prices. Everybody was awesome and we finished our plates.

The salads that came with our entrees were simple yet satisfying. In fact, my father mentioned that he usually doesn’t like croutons, but he really enjoyed the homemade ones sprinkled on his salad. It was all-you-can-eat Cod fish fry night, which my sister and her husband ordered. Justin made sure they had more than enough, regularly checking in to ensure they were getting their fill. They had no complaints; in fact, they ended up eating more Cod than usual because it was so delicious. My parents each had the one-pound deep-fried Shrimp, which looked fantastic, and my mom declared it was "the best" she’s ever had (although she said that last time too, haha!). My husband and I ordered the Michigan Lake Perch with potato wedges—absolutely delicious! If you enjoy thick, seasoned potato wedges that are lightly fried, you definitely have to try them! Then came dessert! We enjoyed Lemon Meringue Pie, Sizzling Apple Pie with crumble and caramel syrup and vanilla ice cream (very sweet but perfect for October!), Cheesecake with caramel syrup drizzle, and Cheesecake with cherries and caramel syrup drizzle. All of them were wonderful and made for a perfect ending to our tasty dinner. Sheri, who I believe is the manager/owner, stopped by our table a couple of times to chat, which was nice to see as she interacted with patrons throughout the restaurant. A big shout-out to the kitchen staff, as without them, there would be no food, and they often work behind the scenes. One of the great things about a restaurant like this is that you see familiar faces; diners walk over to other tables to say hello or sit and socialize, creating a lovely, relaxed atmosphere. There are fireplaces at both ends of the dining area, but I found it a bit cool sitting away from the warmth, so I’d recommend bringing a sweater or wearing layers. We were early diners, arriving shortly after they opened at 4 PM, and the restaurant filled up nicely within an hour without feeling overwhelming. If you're looking for a pleasant ambiance, high-quality staff, and tasty food, I highly recommend trying Great Lakes Grill. The menu offers a variety of choices, all at very affordable prices.

Heather was our waitress and appeared to be the only one working on Tuesday afternoon, managing the entire restaurant. Despite being quite busy, she was very attentive to all of us. The food was AMAZING! We were completely stuffed. The restaurant has a cute and cozy atmosphere. It could benefit from some updates, such as new tables and chairs, but overall it's a nice place to visit for a first impression. Thank you, Heather; you did a fantastic job!
