Best pancakes in the world-according to me and others. A "Must Visit" for Foodies. Expect a long wait during peak brunch hour. Order multiple pancake sides so you can taste different types.

All their barbecued dishes are great and they have a nice beer selection (I like big hoppy beers and the Brother Benjamin IPA is one of my favorites if you want to try a nice Michigan beer).

Try "tater-tachos", a throw-back dish created based on the humble "tater tot" served like a nacho. Brilliantly delicious, not the healthiest but great with beer! Their burgers are also quite good.
