Good Food, Cold Drinks, Good Company

Make yourself at home at Back Door Saloon, where Houghton Lake views meet small-town hospitality. A part of the community since the 1930s, we’re a relaxed spot to gather with friends, catch a game, and enjoy good food and cold drinks. Take in the view from our lake-facing windows or kick-back at our outdoor patio the "Flip-Flop".

Come hungry for burgers, sandwiches, salads, creative appetizers, and daily specials. Our Big Bad Wolf Burger was voted Northern Michigan’s Best Burger—are you ready to take it on? Pair it with a cocktail, a cold draft, or one of Jen’s famous Bloody Marys. Follow us on Facebook for specials, events, and entertainment.
