Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

It was a very pleasant surprise to find there decent wines (single portion bottles of several Barefoot wines) for a great price and really good food - an excellent choice actually.
We had seafood, the whitefish and walleye and have nothing bad to tell about it. Great place, will come back next time.

This was the best food we had our whole trip. The only sucky thing was we chose to sit outside because we were starving and we could be seated right away because they were so busy and it was super hot, but that doesn’t reflect on the food or service. That was our choice. Very cool inside and our waitress was attentive. Definitely give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Our party of 6 women had dinner at the Keyhole on Sunday. Everything was spectacular. And the server graciously stepped in to take a photo of us all, as she saw us struggling with arms to short to get everyone in the photo! Food was terrific. Our server was prompt, thorough, and friendly. I highly recommend the Keyhole Bar & Grill.

We can't complain about the food. It was all really good and we'd give the food a 5 star. Waitress service was an issue, especially at the beginning when taking our drink order. I ask what what beer on draft and if any are pilsner. She stated what they have and I jokingly commented that this was really hard on me because none of those were my favorites. She replied back in a sassy tone that I was making her job hard on her. I clarified that as the customer I was hoping to have something I like. And then I made a selection. I think she realized the comments made to me in a sassy tone were wrong and she softened her approach the rest of the meal. That's why I only rated a 3. If it had kept up the rest of the meal I would have rated a 0.

Quite possibly the best onion rings I've ever had. They were so flavorful and crispy, but not over the top hard. When you take a bite, the onion doesnt come with it. Making every bite at good as the last.
I also had the deep fried lake perch sandwich. Less impressed. I think I would've been better off having the perch on it's own, not deep fried. Overall, atmosphere was good, and my entire family seemed to enjoy their meal. Didnt break the bank to feed 6 people either. Averaged about $11 a person. I would go there again.

Fast friendly service on my first visit, a little less so on my second, but still acceptable. Lots of menu choices available, fresh, well prepared good quality fish, good portion sizes, and fairly reasonable prices for a summer resort town. The Whitefish Reuben was very good, as were the Whitefish Fingers and tartar sauce. Kind of a divey looking little bar, the kind of place the local people go, not just tourists, but worth a visit, or two. Indoor and outdoor (on the street) seating available.

Interesting decor. Keys everywhere. Went there for lunch. Good food. White fish Rueben (very good).
Server was very friendly.
Interior was a bit dark for effect but there was plenty of light to see. We sat toward back and tables were a bit close but we had plenty of room.
Bathroom decor was fun!

Stopped at the Keyhole for a light dinner prior to retiring after a day of travel. I had the peel and eat shrimp - needed more seasoning - and my wife had the bone-in wings. Some of the best wings going. Service was solid and the prices for the area were very fair. Certainly would return.

Discovered green Oliver burgers were a thing in Michigan completely by accident. But once I found out, I HAD to try one! And it did not disappoint!! The Passion burger was delicious. The waiter recommended a great local beer as well. Good service, fun atmosphere. Took my son and didn’t feel awkward at all. Would definitely go back next time we are in town!

Is this the bar where the guys that worked on the bridge years ago use to get a drink after work?
Written 19 July 2018
I honestly have no idea. I'm not Michigan native. I've only live in Michigan for three years.
