Hofbrau

huge portions and great beer. The whitefish sandwich was great and the northwoods pasta was amazing. A cute patio too.

Hofbrau- German food, no, American good eats, yup, you betcha.

I went with a co-worker, after a friend told us about their deep fried pickle.  This deep fried pickle inspires legends apparently (it's a spear, not a whole pickle, lol).  Anyways,  it is wrapped in ham & swiss (they were very nice and made me a non-ham one, yay) and deep fried in a won ton wrapper.  Healthy, what's that?

I had a personal pizza, and my boss had one of the chicken sandwiches.  The portion sizes here are huge, I took half of my pizza home with me.  The prices are average to higher, what can you do Northern Michigan style pricing?  

Highlight for us was the adult beverage served in a mason jar with a ginormous toy plastic/rubber dolphin, see drinks menu for the toy drinks section.  Apparently, the dolphin drink isn't even on the menu, it is mango something and costs like 8.99.  So, overpriced if you are just ordering it for the toy (which you could probably get at the dollar store or a party store).  For the novelty, and for a person who is obsessed with dolphins or knows someone who is obsessed by those awesome creatures, this is friggin amazing.

Also, the patio seating looked nice, but it was windy out.  Also, the outdoor seating is along a quasi-busy road, though this is Interlochen (so mainly busy on concert nights, folks).  I saw something about half off the menu on Tuesdays, but this doesn't apply on concert nights.  As some menu offerings cost a pretty penny, this would probably be worth checking out.  

Fun, up north and cabin-y vibe going on inside this place.

Food and service were really good but not worth the expense. Priced way to high.
