Reviews for Whi Ski Inn in Boyne Falls, MI
Our neighbors had been telling us to try the wings here and they did not disappoint! I had the bourbon bbq and my wife the hot.... Both were great and the smokiness of the wings comes through very nicely. Read more
We have family in the area, so we visit a few times a year. The drink selection is always good and the smoked chicken wings are... great. Normally, the service is decent, but last weekend we visited and the male bartender/server was not friendly to ourgroup. We waited for a table (by the sign where it said to wait) and then thought we'd grab a drink at the bar while we waited. One of the individuals in our group tried to order a round of drinks and was told that since we were waiting for a table wecould not sit at the bar or order drinks and we had to stand by the sign, even though there was an open seat at the bar? Madeno sense. We then watched a table open up and waited for someone to clean it, when after a few minutes, no one did we walkedover to claim it before anyone else cut us in line. Out of nowhere, the same male bartender comes up and tells us to go backand wait at the sign in the front until they clean the table. Okay fine. Another five minutes goes by and at this point we'reabout to just walk out and find somewhere else to go. Finally, one of the female servers cleaned the table for us and was superfriendly and gave us great service. Not sure if the male bartender/server was just having a bad night or what, but he was veryunfriendly to us. We are very understanding of the understaffing issues (everywhere) but that didn't seem to be the issue onthis particular night. Our family are regulars here and we like coming here for the up north vibe and the good food, but pleasetry to treat your customers in a friendly manner! Read more
Everything about this place was great! The food was very good (we had smoked wings and smoked chicken nachos) and the atmosphere... and service were great too. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality and time it takes to prepare smokedmeats. Definitely going back for brisket! Read more
Bar style BBQ joint. Ribs & pulled pork & pulled chicken were good not great. Sides were pretty tasty. We had mac 'n cheese,... cucumbers & onions, fries, hushpuppies & sweet potato fries. All good. We also had sweet corn fritters from the appetizermenu. Those were tasty, too. We were there Friday night & a live musician was just getting started, but we didn't stay forthat . Read more
Awesome little smokehouse, chicken wings were absolutely amazing, and the brisket was very good as well. Wish the brisket was a... little more juicy, but the cornbread and sauces were also great. Read more
UPDATE - I went back to give it another shot! Service was much better, but the food was quite possibly worse than the 1st time.... I ordered brisket and it was so tough and chewy i had to tear through it w8th my teeth! It was inedible.... I let soemone elsetry it too thinking maybe my teeth were getting weak.. NOT THE CASE. We ended up throwing it all away. Im sad to say that Iwill not be back for quite some time, if at all. I have heard great things about the Whi-Ski. Was bummed out to say the least.Let me lead by saying, if you are looking for a place to drink only, great spot! But if you are looking to get some grub too...not so much IMO. Prices were fair, service was poor (never asked If we would like refills on beer, or waters and it wasn't busyat all) and the food was less than desirable. I had wings and a burger. The burger was super dried out, and tasted kike a frozenPatty. The wings were very fatty and the flavor wasn't there. Cheese curds were good, but it would take a small child to messthose up. Sliders weren't great either for being a BBQ/smokehouse. Read more
We kind stumbled on this place because the wait elsewhere was insane... omgosh what happy happenstance. Every thing we ate was... way better than it should have been, drinks were fast, cold and delicious, and the service was friendly & terrific. We had boththe white chili & traditional, white is a little spicier, but both are great. The smoking nacho is covered in toppings &delicious. I got a brisket wrap with Carolina White BBQ... YUM.
