"Great place, fantastic staff! Here for Sno* Drift and hadn’t eaten after a long drive. Without hesitation our waitress offered to keep the kitchen open a bit longer so we could eat. Absolutely fantastic service!!!"

"Staff was friendly and service was quick. The food was solid pub grub and very standard for a sports bar. It was decent and filling but nothing to write home about. The chicken bacon ranch grinder we got was huge; literally the size of a dinner plate! I recommend getting a side of ranch to dip it in as it doesn't have a strong flavor profile. The onion rings were homemade, which I love. In short, I would stop here again if I was in town. But it definitely wasn't worth the hour drive from Rogers City that the other reviews suggested it would be."

"One of the best places to stop in eat at in town. Make sure you're not In a rush because good things come to who those that can wait and have patience aka they are not the fastest in town. But overall a good place to watch a game get a drink and have some good food. Always seems busy no matter the day in the summer. I think they have the best pizzas in town since JDs closed. If you're in town make sure to stop by."

"Nice bar in downtown Atlanta MI. We came for dinner after day 1 of Sno Drift. It's cool they have the custom Austin Brothers beers for Sno Drift. The service is good, our waitress was awesome. Fast and friendly service. The food was good. We had boneless wings and nachos. The nachos are a little under seasoned but good. The rest of food was reported good by our group. If you're in Atlanta they are a good place for food and drink."

"Bright, inviting atmosphere. Interesting sports memorabilia displayed on the walls.The unique high top table is a work of art. High-quality pub food at reasonable prices. Good price and selection of beer. Friendly, efficient service, too. Our group of eight people enjoyed our meals so much. We liked the pretzel bites with queso dip, onion rings, pizza, shrimp and subs aka grinders. I had the steak, cheese, mushroom half sandwich which comes with fries. My husband had a whole sandwich, which does not come with fries. I've included photos. I look forward to returning next time I'm bin Atlanta, Michigan."
