Stopped here multiple times on a recent snowmobile trip. Enjoyed the staff and drinks enough to come back for food and lunch. Decided to come back another time for the Sunday breakfast buffet and will be doing this again as well. Excellent.

This is a classic UP bar and grill. Breakfast served until 10:45 which works for us on our summer vacation schedule. We will definitely return. Really friendly and good food! Pancakes as big as your head!

We camped down the road and went to the jolly inn for a few adult beverages and dinner. The bartender Glenda was amazing. She was very personable, funny, and entertaining. The food was great and my husband really enjoyed the variety of tap beers. Glenda was very helpful to my husband that's in a wheelchair. And like us, she is a Lion's fan. We definitely will go back in the future.

Very friendly place and good food. The chili was excellent, the large wet burrito was enough to share and also very good. Add a nice cold pilsner and we had the perfect lunch. Would eat here again and would like to try their breakfast.
