The White House Tavern

I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant. Cool, clean interior with a smaller bar. My friends and I sat outside on the patio where live music was being played. The wait staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and happy to be there.

The appetizers were all pretty tasty but my main meal left something to be desired. I ordered a grilled wrap and to my dismay.. it wasn't grilled? I was dissapointed because if the menu says grilled, I expect my food to be hot and toasty. It was far from that. My friend also had a problem with his sandwich not being grilled as it was advertised in the menu (cheese was not even melted). I was tempted to send it back to the kitchen. The house chips were awesome.. thin, crisp, and salty.

Overall, nice place to sit and have a drink with friends.

From IL so when I went to MI, I wanted to try something that we didn't have back south. Was recommended to eat here and try there wings so that's what I did.

The appearance is exactly what it sounds like. A white house. My group sat outside on the patio during a nice sunny day. It was great. They had a guy playing the guitar outside so that was pretty cool. Though I think this is more catered to the older generations (that's who most the customers were).

Down to business. We ordered a bunch of apps and just shared. The broccoli bites were bomb. Def recommend those. And the cheese curds were pretty bomb too. Green bean fries I didn't really care much and I hate mushrooms so I didn't even try that (but others said it was alright).

I ordered wings and they were pretty delicious. Nicely grilled and tender. I didn't care much for the sauce though. The house sauce was way too sweet and the hot and spicy sauce wasn't really a sauce. It was like a liquid. The gf got the pulled pork and I didn't really like that either. You add your own bbq sauce but it just seemed really dry still and I didn't like the bun at all.

Over all it's a nice place though. They serve liquor and that was nice after a long day of white water rafting.

Nice place for a po-dunk town like Iron Mtn. Good atmosphere, service ... Tasty food (pulled pork and curry dressing). Only suggestion, have a better craft beer menu like Spiros or Sol-Blue... Only have Keweenaw Pick Axe Blonde and Widowmaker (one of my faves).
