Beautiful scenery during this time of year overlooking a frozen lake. Staff was professional and welcoming. Food was excellent. I had their Pulled Pork BBQ sliders...OUTSTANDING. Atmosphere was also great for an evening with family.

We visited New Year's weekend and chose this restaurant because of the allergy-friendly options. It was a busy night with an hour wait for a table, but the food was good, and sadly we visited on a short winter's day and did not to enjoy the lake view as it was dark. I also thought the prices were reasonable for what it was. We will be back if in the area again. I really enjoyed my walleye sandwich.

We went to Barrell Back two times during our September visit. No reservations were needed, but we were there during the off season. I imagine the busy season it would be much different. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was great and laid back. Breakfast was our first meal and then we went back with friends for dinner. The customer service was very good. The town of Walloon Lake is perfect to walk around and shop, stretch your legs after a meal.

I'm glad we stopped here. The food was great, and I loved the atmosphere. Downstairs there is shopping with a nice selection of clothing and accessories. Our service was five star.

The Barrel Back is one of Northern Michigan's hidden gems on Walloon Lake. A great place for excellent food and tasty drinks with a sizable bar and dining area overlooking the lake. A great place to watch the sunset! Located over top of a unique lake front shop which specializes in outdoor water sports apparel and many unique items related to the lake life. The staff was very personable and friendly. They were knowledgeable of the menu and very accommodating with specific requests! I would truly recommend anything from their menu! I've never been disappointed with any meal here!
