GENERAL INFO

THE RESTAURANT

The essence of boats from the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. Barrel Back Restaurant has something for everyone, as well as great indoor and outdoor seating with views of one of the most beautiful lakes in Michigan.  The name "Barrel Back" is a term associated with the iconic "Woody" boats.  When the wooden boat is in the water, the round transom on the stern of the boat looks like it is a floating barrel.
