Root Cellar Resort and Dining

Great new owners! We are so happy to see this place returning to the place it used to be years ago. We have come up for the last 25 years snowmobiling and this place used to be the place to come eat. Unfortunately the last owners food quality was so poor we stopped going. We started to hear good things about the new owners and food so we decided to give it a chance-wow they did not disappoint the food quality was fantastic-pizza quality was excellent, burgers have been perfect. We just missed the main kitchen for dinner last night but was happy to see a late night menu with appetizers and pizzas- great chicken tenders. We will definitely be back and so glad to have a place on the Lake that treat you like family.

I’ve previously been here before and it was ok but this last visit the place was amazing! The food quality is amazing, friendly environment, clean and fresh. The hotel now has a breakfast area for the guests. A beautiful outdoors eating area which is new! A great family friendly restaurant/hotel! Right on the lake! This veteran of 23yrs highly recommends the Root Cellar!

Last weekend at the lodge was exactly what you hope for when you head to the Upper Peninsula—warm, welcoming, and full of character. The place was clearly busy and at times stretched thin, but you’d never know it by the way the staff handled it. Everyone worked incredibly hard, stayed friendly, and kept things moving with a great attitude. That kind of effort doesn’t go unnoticed. The service was genuinely good across the board. The waitresses especially deserve a shout-out—attentive, upbeat, and full of that unmistakable Northern charm. And yes, the accents are real, and yes, they’re adorable. One waitress in particular really stood out. Even in the middle of the rush, she was kind, personable, and made us feel taken care of without missing a beat. It’s people like her that turn a busy

Stopped in after a long weekend of snowmobiling and we treated ourselves to actual food.. Service was amazing and the food was decent... Just a couple suggestions though.. Probably don't serve the prime rib soaked in juices. Maybe have it on the side or something. Also, the broccoli was heavily salted. I just wanted the broccoli. If people want to salt it, they can add their own..other than that, everything was worth the trip to eat here

We stopped in while snowmobiling to get some food and to warm up. The food was good, but the restaraunt was freezing in there. We were hoping to get into a nice warm place to get warm from riding and dry off but it was very cold in there. I placed my hand on the baseboard heater, and there was no heat coming off of it. When you walk in, they had a nice area for helmets and jackets, but again, because it was close to the entry door, it was really cold in there. A space heater in there with a curtain and a fan would go a long way, making this place a great stop. Instead, I would head somewhere else to eat and warm up....Waitress was very kind. Reply to Root Cellar Response: Thank you for sharing that you would be accommodating. Both my friend and I agreed it was very cold considering we wer
