    I LOVE dining at Bennethum’s! We went there Saturday night. Two of us in the group ordered the filet. It was cooked perfectly but the presentation was lacking. We were disappointed that we couldn’t get a baked potato with our steak. Otherwise, everything else was on point!

    This was the best Moscow mule my girlfriend had ever had. It was a lovely atmosphere and the food was delicious. It's on the price of your side but worth it.

    This is a small town favorite for its consistency and quality! One of a kind place and just visit when in northern MI. We're lucky enough to live close, we enjoy the food and staff equally on a regular basis.

    This is probably the fourth time we’ve been to this restaurant and unfortunately it was not good. I ordered the Valentine special. The lobster tail was way overcooked, the shrimp was not very flavorful and the steak was like a hockey puck. Very poor. My husband got the tomahawk pork chop, which was very good so I guess you need to stick to the regular menu. Unfortunately, our server was quite short tempered and cranky as well. I don’t think we’ll be going back for quite a while. The atmosphere on the bar side was very nice.

    The menu is incredible. Old school. Gotta love tablecloths too. An older couple next to us drives 60 miles regularly. Our waitress drives 45 mins to work. Shows they treat their staff well. Back to the food and drinks….amazing!! (South African) lobster tails are always the bomb. Shocked a small town restaurant had them and they did. Superb. Can’t say enough.
