The breaded morell mushrooms were phenomenal. They just had a dusting of breading. All our meals were great. The chicken in the chicken/morell pasta was very tender and juicy. The Perch was lightly breaded with great flavor. Short rib was great and the pork schnitzel was excellent. Great food, kind of pricey but worth it.

We loooved it here. It was cozy and the ambiance was perfection. I wish this wasn’t a place we found on vacation lol! I wish it was down the street from our house. We came here to celebrate after our private elopement. It seemed multiple people knew that when we walked in and all said congratulations! It was such a lovely, warm welcome. Our waitress was incredible and was so lovely with our toddler. The food was near the top of what I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Everything was cooked to perfection. The shrimp cocktail was insane. I’ve never had more perfectly cooked shrimp. The apple crisp dessert was also perfection! If we find ourselves back in Gaylord again we will 100% be back again!!

Best in Gaylod. Always a good rotating menu. Good food every time. Did a 3 appetizer share between these 2 of us and it was a great cross selection of their best.

A great find for husband and me as we made our way from downstate MI to Boyne on a Wednesday. Husband was actually looking for another restaurant that he dined at years ago. He couldn’t recall the name, but our search led us to Bennethum’s and we are so glad.
The service was great, we got seated right away and Kim was our server. She was very friendly and welcoming and provided some wonderful menu suggestions, as it was our first visit. There was a nice variety of appetizers on the 1/2 off Happy Hour menu…we ordered 3 (slider, meatballs, shrimp) and wine and was served fresh-baked bread. We ordered wine from the happy hour menu, but we also noted and were very impressed by the extensive wine menu. We weren’t hungry enough after that for our own entrees, so we split their signature meatloaf dish.
OH MY…EACH DISH was absolutely amazing and delicious…we enjoyed it all equally and would order it all again! Our compliments to the chef! The only disappointing thing about our experience was that we cleaned our plates, our bellies were full and it was time to leave.

Everything was truly amazing from the cocktails, entrees, apps, and desserts. The walleye was one of the best meals I’ve had this year. Our server was terrific and very knowledgeable about the menu. Overall great experience.

Literally one of the best restaurants in the area. At first I was put off by the prices of food. The food honestly was so good and just absolutely the finest quality ingredients that I was able to see why. Our server who sadly I didn’t get the name of was soooooo on top of things that I never even had a chance to ask for a refill. The minute I finished my drink at set it down a refill was already on the table. Our server knew every part of the menu and gave legit guidance on things I would like. I absolutely love this place and am glad I went!!!

My wife and I have visited Bennethum’s regularly for years, and the service, hospitality, and of the course the food is always amazing. Last night we had an unusual experience: a customer came in half way through our meal and was obviously “full of cheer” and proceeded to make the dining experience (for all involved) a bit uncomfortable. Within minutes the host and servers diffused the situation with professionalism and kindness. Not that we needed one, but this served as a reminder to us why Bennethum’s is one of our favorite restaurants in Northern Michigan. If you enjoy great food, wine, cocktails and an atmosphere that is cozy and welcoming, make a reservation because this is the place for you.
