Spikehorn Restaurant & Lounge

This place was perfectly ok. My date and I didn't experience anything special but the service and food were good enough to recommend it to you if you just need to satisfy your hunger.

See the photos for what we ate. I had the cod with mac & cheese. The cod was cooked nicely and the batter was thin so you taste the mild fish. The mac was good too. It was on the drier (rather than creamy) side, but was a nice alternate to fries. The green beans were probably frozen, but they were good and much better than the canned stuff other places tend to dish out.

My date had the NY Strip sandwich and fries. He was happy with the seasoning and chowed down the fries, so they weren't too shabby. He also had a bowl of chicken dumpling soup that he enjoyed.

They have about 7 beers on tap and most are the mass marketed stuff; however they had 2 microbrews on tap that made it worth it. Beers prices were cheap, as many are in bars in these parts, so enjoy!

The portions are fair for the price.

The service was fine too. Our waitress was there when we we needed her.

All good.

Great up north bar with good food. I have never had a bad meal in the 18 years I have been coming to Houghton Lake

The food is good.  If you are looking for a place to hang out and have some fun on a weekend night though you should probably look someplace else.  The boring factor is pretty overwhelming as they have no band, karaoke or DJ.  You might as well just sit home and have a couple drinks because there is no entertainment here.
