Reviews for Back Door Saloon in Houghton Lake, MI

The food tasted good, but the burgers that we received straight out of the kitchen where cold. The waitress didn't even offer to... replace or do anything about it. I had the spinach artichoke dip with pita chips, that was amazing ????. I also had a steakMexican bowl, my rice was still cold at the bottom of the bowl, but tasted amazing and that sauce the delish!! I woulddefinitely come again. Read more

Exactly what you want from a bar/restaurant: fast service, hot food, good beer. This is the fastest I have ever been served in a... restaurant. We sat down, promptly received menus and silverware, and were told our server would be there in a minute...and shewas. We ordered craft beer on draft, had it on our table in less than 5 minutes, ordered our food, and had our apps in lessthan 5 minutes. Apps were spicy fried green beans with a sweet chili sauce and loaded tater tots. They were so hot that wesipped our beers for a couple of minutes and then our food arrived, we ordered the traditional sliders to share. No kidding, wewent from sitting down to having drinks and all of our food in less than 15 minutes! The place was nearly full when we arrivedand a wedding shower party of around 20 people cam in right after we sat down, so we were pretty impressed with theservice! Food: perfectly cooked, hot, and so yummy! The sliders were bigger than usual and not greasy or soggy. They had a goodsized patty, fresh toppings, and the house made yum yum sauce is great. In fact, so good and so fast that I forgot to take anypictures! We would definitley go back if we're in the area again! Read more

Great views of Higgins Lake! Decent beer selection, full bar, and lots of different food options made it an easy choice for... lunch with the whole family. Even though it was busy we were still able to get a table in a reasonable amount of time. All ourfood was delicious, but the french fries and Sante Fe egg rolls were the highlight! Read more

Good food, great service. Fun lakeside atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

Really good food & atmosphere! Pretzels n beer cheese n tailgate Mac n cheese! Yummy Tried Tito's mule that good too!

We were in the area and had heard about new menu items, so in we went. She had the Drunken Cow - steak tips in bourbon sauce... with onions, peppers and mushrooms. I had the Sweet and Sour Rice Bowl, with chicken and broccoli. Reasonably priced and justenough of a portion. We'll order these again. Read more

This place is really good. We came from out of town and someone suggested this place to us so we gave it a shot and were... pleasantly surprised. We ordered a Bahama Mama to drink and it was really tasty. We must have had a different bartender than theother reviewers or they had good training since then lol. We also ordered the fried pickles (good) Santa Fe Chicken Egg Roll(Yummy) Bang Bang Shrimp (amazing and my favorite) Fish Tacos (bland, soggy batter, and nothing exciting except thesauce). Service was great and when we arrived it was a "seat yourself" atmosphere so we sat right next to the window and got aview of the lake. If we come back to this area, we will definitely stop in again.

In Houghton on a vacation. Happened to stop in, food was FANTASTIC. However, we decided to sit at the bar, bartender ... definitely more interested in local/ gentlemen, ( I understand this dynamic) however, coming from a tourist town myself (St. Joseph MI) visitors/ females should also get attention as well. 3 for food 0 for bar service.
