My wife and I have been to Timber & Tides restaurant 4 times so far, we have not had a bad meal or poor service. We think the pizza is one of the best in the area if not the best, my wife likes the BLT pizza, I enjoy the meat pizza. The pizza crust is very very good, it really makes the pizza!! Ice cream is good also, we haven't tried the other deserts. We had the chicken noodle soup and its as good as their competitor. If you haven't been here yet I highly recommend it!!

The food here is homemade and very good. I had Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes, it was the best I ever had. Real potatoes and gravy, very good. My wife had roast beef, she loved it. The waitress Paljina was very friendly and good, always checking on us to see if we needed coffee or anything. I also like that the restaurant was spotless and everything is new.

The establishment is clean and the environment is cheerful when you enter The wait time is similar to all establishments around here. Depending on the crowd. The food is great and the Salads are fresh. And they also serve Pizza, Fish and Sizzling Steaks. There’s something for everyone. They have a wonderful assortment of hand dipped ice cream flavors. .It’s nice to have a family diner close to home. We eat there often and it’s our #1 go too! Especially when we have company or don’t feel like cooking after playing on the water all day! Congrats on your success

Our first time there, and we were impressed! Not only by the food, but the service! Our waitress was so pleasant and inviting. She told us all about the town, gave us recommendations, and always kept our beverages topped off. If you're a burger lover...get the Rodeo burger and a side of ranch dressing. Delicious

This place was amazing! The owner was our server for dinner, and we talked with her about UMich. She was the sweetest, and gave us our blackberry cobbler for free because it was our anniversary. Please visit if you're ever in the area!!
