Birches Roadhouse - Cable

The food and drinks here are always amazing. Rob and Rachel are very friendly and work very hard to give their girls a great experience. The service we received in the past was quite good, but the last few times we were there (end of January / early February it took 3 hours to finish. (We had reservations of one of these times; ate in the bar early the last time. I suggest a little higher stool for the tables in the bar area (Rob noticed that I needed a booster seat and brought a high stool out of the bar. Anyway, it'll be back.

A very nice facility. Very clean inside and great decor. On Friday night divorced and the restaurant was busy and the service was kind of slow. You were a person. Everyone enjoyed their main course. The Butternuss-Ravioli share is small but very good. The Barsch-Fish dinner is large and also the flat bread pizza. Both are delicious. They have a wide range of drinks, including four beers on a heap of bottles. At the end of our meal we were there two hours. Hopefully future visits are faster. The owners are great and treats us well. Cheers!

We had it without reservation and had dinner at the bar. Excellent service! Comfortable bar stool!! And best, an amazing meal!!! Dinner including soup, salad, main food and desert all at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this place!

The food was great. But the seats were not. The tables were too wide and the chairs too short. I'm 5 feet and I wanted a bar stool and my husband is 6 feet and still thought he was eating at the chin level. But the food was fabulous!.

Here is what we liked about the Birches: Rob and Rachel were very friendly and welcoming. The thick, varnished wood slab tables really fit the decor. We enjoyed the fresh Lake Superior Almond Crusted lake trout and Scallops. The meal came with shrimp and roasted corn chowder soup, a small salad with house Parmesan garlic dressing. A South Shore Nut Brown Ale really topped off my meal. A small dish of Gelato was also included. But, there were two downsides: 1) The $9 up-charge for a flour less cake and 2) We didn't find out about the amount of the up-charge until we received our check. The dessert was very good, but it wasn't worth that much. I would have appreciated knowing what the up-charge was up-front. I certainly would have gone with the included ice cream dessert after paying a premium for the meal.
