  Went there for the first time with friends from out of town. We absolutely loved it. The food and service were excellent. One post states she is her 30s and felt uncomfortable. I am also in my 30s and disagree. We found it very comfortable.

  I read the three previous reviews and scratched my head.  How can they rate the food good to very good and give a 3 star rating?  We go there often and have never been disappointed.  Service is always fast and friendly.  It seems to be a favorite for our Chicago visitors as well as locals.  Did I mention that the food is outstanding?  Their only failing is to never have homemade lemon meringue pie.

  We love the Timberline but admit the service is often really slow, which doesn't usually bother us because we are at the lakes to relax and go slow anyway. The food has always been great, especially the ribs and steaks.

  This restaurant has been around forever and is located by Indian Lake.  I
  It has an up north like feel with a weathered wood exterior and somewhat rustic interior.  It is very much from another era and could use some updating, but has pretty good food.  
  
  In addition to soup / salad, they have a spinning gourmet table that includes cheese spread, herring, potato salad, bean salad, etc.  Wine list is basic, but has a few surprises including some Silverado wines.  
  
  I was last there in May 2011.  I had the Perch and my dad had the Walleye, which were both delicious.  Service was a bit slow.
  
  I would definitely go back.

  I have heard many good things about Timberline on several occasions, and decided to try it.  First of all, walking in, we felt extremely uncomfortable, as we were probably the only 30-something couple there.  The decor was extremely outdated.  Our server lurked over our table the entire time we were there.  I wouldn't rush back any time soon.  The food was good, but the atmosphere, for me, is a big part of the experience in trying somewhere new.

  Okay, for a fine dining restaurant in the middle of nowhere, Timberline Inn is pretty good.  Unfortunately, the last time I ate there was about 17 years ago (and I actually worked there for a very, very, very short time washing dishes).  So, if you are near Indian Lake in Dowagiac, Michigan, and you have a few bucks to blow, it's a pretty decent restaurant.
