Restaurants near American Inn and Suites Houghton Lake

Bennethum’s food was nothing short of amazing, with each dish showcasing bold, flavorful ingredients and thoughtful preparation. What truly stood out, though, was the service. Paige was attentive, friendly, and made us feel like valued guests from start to finish. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, creating a perfect environment for both casual dining or a special night out. I highly recommend Bennethum’s for anyone looking for a great meal, fantastic drinks, and outstanding service.

Fantastic meal, shrimp cocktail, salads and walleye were all outstanding, so delicious, thank you to the kitchen staff and our server Arron for a wonderful evening.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Cozy Cabana experience! It was incredible to have snow gently falling as we enjoyed the warm outdoor pool. Snacks were delicious and hot cocoa was amazing!!! In addition, Lauren was THE BEST server and we so appreciated all her attention to detail. She is DELIGHTFUL!!!

We enjoyed our thanksgiving dinner today and plan to come back for Christmas dinner also. Server was great and the atmosphere was great.

We went specifically for the Thanksgiving buffet and it was excellent. There was a wide variety of food from breakfast through a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings. There was an excellent carving station with roasted turkey and baked Dearborn ham. The sides included excellent stuffing and real mashed potatoes. The salad bar was outstanding in its variety and all of the selections were very good. As usual, the desserts were sumptuous, especially the Apple Streusel although it would have been nice to have some vanilla sauce to top it off. Overall the food was about as hot (warm) as you would expect from a buffet. The service was a little slow initially but after the introduction, it was excellent. We are both very Thankful to the staff who worked during their Thanksgiving day to provide such friendly service.
