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 restaurant for miles. I tried several different items and they were all outstanding. The server was very nice and helpful with questions. Ambience was lakeside resort style and very appropriate across from the lake. I would eat there every day if I could.
Love everything about this place, you will be greeted by Rebecca when you walk, she is super nice. Everyone is always so pleasant and everything we’ve ever ordered is fabulous!

OMG! The best meal I’ve had in a LONG time! I seldom order chicken breast, since it is frequently overcooked, but the Chicken Tosca was excellent, as was their Fall Daiquiri drink special & the crab artichoke dip. Left planning how to get back since we don’t live in the area.

We just did our last "2025 summer date" on the lawn at Bennethum's. Not only was the food and service SPECTACULAR as always, we were impressed that the outdoor flowers were still pristine and beautiful. (We're also honored to be the 1,000th reviewer of the restaurant). We are HUGE fans of Bennethum's. We can't name a close 2nd to them in the Grayling/Gaylord area. We find excuses to celebrate "something... ANYTHING!" to go there. :-)
