Restaurants near Grayling Winter Recreation Area

Had an amazing experience in the cozy cabana. It exceeded our expectations. We had so much fun swimming in the outdoor pool during a snow storm, while it was 10 degrees outside. The pool was so warm. The jumbo pretzel and the pizza was delicious. The drinks were so good too, especially the espresso martini. The service has all around been great. We will be coming back every year!

Always an excellent meal and experience! The Boathouse does not disappoint.

Bennethum’s food was nothing short of amazing, with each dish showcasing bold, flavorful ingredients and thoughtful preparation. What truly stood out, though, was the service. Paige was attentive, friendly, and made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, creating a perfect environment for both casual dining or a special night out. I highly recommend Bennethum’s for anyone looking for a great meal, fantastic drinks, and outstanding service.

Fantastic meal, shrimp cocktail, salads and walleye were all outstanding, so delicious, thank you to the kitchen staff and our server Arron for a wonderful evening.

We went specifically for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was excellent. There was a wide variety of food from breakfast through a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. There was an excellent carving station with roasted turkey and baked Dearborn ham. The sides included excellent stuffing and real mashed potatoes. The salad bar was outstanding in its variety and all of the selections were very good. As usual, the desserts were sumptuous, especially the Apple Streusel although it would have been nice to have some vanilla sauce to top it off. Overall the food was about as hot (warm) as you would expect from a buffet. The service was a little slow initially but after the introduction, it was excellent. We are both very Thankful to the staff who worked during their Thanksgiving day to provide such friendly service.
