The Deck Down Under

09/05/2026

Whatever got you down this week, shake it off.

The lobsters seem weirdly committed to having a good time, and honestly, we respect that.

Grab your people. Get a drink. Eat something serious. Stay a little too long. Make it a Deck Down Under night.

Because some nights are for being responsible.

This does not have to be one of them.

ATTENTION KEVINS. 🌧️

We regret to inform you that today's rain is, in fact...

water.

It may touch your vehicle.
It may land on your jacket.
In extreme cases, it could even get on your hand.

Stay strong.

For everyone brave enough to survive the parking lot, we've got beer-battered cod, crispy lake perch, thick-cut steaks and smoked Prime Rib waiting inside.

Don't be a Kevin.

Load up the crew. Cross the dangerous 38 feet of wet gravel. Come eat something serious. 🥩

🥩 Thick-cut steaks
🥩 Smoked Prime Rib tonight

Yesterday was a little too quiet, and have you seen how much back-to-school clothes cost this year?! Our staff’s kids are out here demanding brand-name sneakers, $80 backpacks, and glue sticks made of solid gold. 😭🎒

So we're making a deal with you: We need to fill every single chair in the building tonight, which means we’re dropping oysters to ONE BUCK EACH.

🦪 $1.00 Oysters — Raw, Fried, or Steamed 🦪

That’s right. One dollar. You get insanely cheap, top-tier seafood, and our servers get to afford light-up shoes and denim jackets for their kids. It’s basically a community charity event where you get full on great food and cold drinks.

Leave the dress code at home, bring your crew, and let’s pack the place!

Come for the tacos. Stay for the show. 🌮🍹

Every Taco Tuesday, Chef Megan makes the tacos...

And Drew somehow has to keep up with the absolutely unreasonable number of margaritas you people drink.

Seriously. So. Many. Margaritas.

He has two hands. Apparently that's not enough.

🍹 16oz Margaritas, just $4.00.
🌮 Chef-made à la carte tacos all day.

Beef, chicken, pork, shrimp, walleye, perch... mix, match, and make Drew question his career choices.

⏰ Open at 11 AM

IT’S FRIDAY. COME EAT REAL FOOD.

The sweet corn is local. 🌽
The Ribeyes are thick. 🥩
The Prime Rib is smoking.
The seafood is fresh. 🦞
And there are real people in the kitchen who actually give a damn how your dinner turns out.

No gimmick today.

Just really good food made by people who care.

We’ve got room tonight. Come see us.

Some sequels probably shouldn't be made.

The hero gets older. The stunts get slower.
The costume fits a little differently.
And eventually you start wondering if we really needed another one. 😂

Fortunately, Taco Tuesday isn't a sequel.

It's a tradition. And some classics don't need a reboot. 🌮

Chef-made à la carte tacos every Tuesday:
🌮 Beef
🌮 Chicken
🌮 Pork
🌮 Shrimp
🌮 Walleye
🌮 Perch

And the supporting actor that somehow steals every scene:

🍹 $4 16oz GIANT MARGARITAS. Seriously. Four bucks. Come on now.

🥃 WE DON’T CALL OURSELVES A BOURBON BAR.

That seems a little presumptuous.

We just happen to have nearly 200 whiskeys on the shelf.

Bourbons. Ryes. Wheated. Bottled-in-bond. Single barrels. Barrel proof. Some easy to find.

Some... considerably less easy to find.

So if there’s something you’ve been wanting to try, there’s a decent chance it’s staring at you from behind our bar.

And since it’s Saturday, we should probably mention that our smoked Prime Rib pairs suspiciously well with a finger of E.H. Taylor Barrel Proof.

We're not saying you need both.

We're just saying Saturday only happens once a week.

🥩 Smoked Prime Rib

WELL... THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY. 😂

Nearly 40,000 of you stopped to read about the local farm produce making its way into our kitchen.

So we figured we should probably mention one important detail:

You can come eat it.

It’s Friday. The local produce is rolling in, the kitchen is cooking, the seafood is fresh, the Prime Rib is coming, the bourbon is waiting, and we have absolutely no intention of admitting summer is almost over.

Come make a night of it.

🌽 Local Michigan produce
🦞 Fresh seafood
🥩 Prime Rib tonight
🍔 Burgers & steaks
🥃 A frankly unreasonable amount of bourbon
🌴 And one little tropical restaurant in the middle of Michigan

Thanks for all the love yesterday. Now come hungry.
