The Side Door Saloon ... yes, it's a saloon type atmosphere! Beautiful long bar and cozy seating. TVs for sports enthusiasts. But the food is far better than saloon quality! The mushrooms olive burger is the best burger in town. "How do you want it?" Medium rare comes exactly medium rare. Tasty, juicy, and delicious. Plan to return again, and again ... Service is quick and efficient - 5 star.

The pepperjack crab chowder is excellent, as with the salmon dinner. Servers all were busy and were able to keep our drinks cold and food on time

Side door is a great family-friendly restaurant. The service was amazing. Their menu has tons of options to meet everyone's tastes. The olive burger sauce was great, but the burger itself kind of had a frozen, bulk beef taste that I wasn't a huge fan of. My wife ordered the chicken bacon ranch wrap, which was good. Their kids' menu thankfully had buttered noodles, which is 1 of the 3 things my picky 7 year old eats. The moms ordered soup and a quesadilla, which they both enjoyed. They don't have a fryer so this isn't the place to go if you're looking for fries or fried foods, but it is a suitable place to stop if you're looking for something tasty and affordable.

I will start with my rating system. It is simple. I'll be a regular or I won't. This is in the category of I'll be a regular. In the casual dining category this restaurant is top notch. Great food at a very reasonable price. They are incredibly quick with food preparation even when it is busy. The staff is always very good. The place is popular for exactly the reasons I gave.

My first time there in over 46 years. (Because I lived in Florida). I went with my aunt and her husband. They had come up for a week. The food was great. Well, except for the huge slice of onion for my burger. Now I know to tell them to slice thin. Had a great time there and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Great place! They make an awesome old fashion (if you're a fan like me), their foods great (I got a whitefish quesadilla that I inhaled without photographing), and the service was good! They also have a cute patio if you want to be outside and they are close to town, next door to puttputt and down the street from the State Park... what's not to like?

Oh, where do I begin with our visit to Side Door Saloon? Let's just say it was an absolute blast from the first buzzer to the final whistle. Our team of taste buds embarked on a flavorsome journey, guided by the one and only Stephen, our witty and knowledgeable waiter. Get ready to laugh your way through this review as we relive the highlights of our dining experience! First off, let's talk about the star players of the menu: the drinks and food options. We started off with a bang by diving headfirst into their famous buffalo dip. It was a touchdown of flavors, with each bite delivering a perfect combination of tangy and spicy goodness. Our taste buds were cheering! Next up, the Waikiki quesadilla and shrimp pasta stepped onto the court. These dishes were pure slam dunks. The quesadilla took us on a tropical trip, bursting with the flavors of paradise. And the shrimp pasta? Well, let's just say it dribbled its way into our hearts with its succulent shrimp and perfectly cooked pasta, making it a definite three-pointer. But wait, there's more! The drinks were nothing short of legendary. The margaritas were like a victory parade for our taste buds. Every sip was a celebration of tanginess and refreshment. And then came the raspberry Long Island iced tea. Oh, dear readers, this drink was a triple-threat combination of fruity, zesty, and a little kick of magic. It definitely left us wanting an encore. Now, let's talk about the MVP of the evening: Stephen, our fantastic waiter. Not only did he have the moves, but his charismatic personality brought the whole dining experience to life. He served up laughs along with the food, dishing out recommendations with a side of humor. Stephen, you truly scored big with your exceptional service!

Food was excellent, service was friendly, attentive and quick, and the atmosphere very fun. If you like Mint Ice Cream or Oreos, or both, you gotta try the Mint Oreo Ice Cream, pie. Hard to go wrong at the Side Door Saloon when in Petoskey!! 5/5

We had a blast at this really cool place. The food was great and the atmosphere was very fun and enjoyable. I got the blackened fresh catch of whitefish which would have been 5 stars but I got a few bones in it.
