| Situated along Red Arrow Highway, an historic stretch of road that winds along Michigan`s Southwestern shoreline, the Red Arrow Roadhouse still has the inviting appeal of roadhouses once found while touring the countryside in the 40`s and 50`s. The arched doorway is still intact, the building is a reflection of years past. Inside the restaurant guest are greeted by a charming dining room with knotty pine walls, mounted game, antiques and memorabilia. Rustic hardwood floors and quaint tables are as inviting as the crafted wood bar, which originally graced Chicago`s East Bank Club.
Noted by Travel & Leisure magazine as "Harbor Country`s Hot Spot", and featured in Midwest Living, the Roadhouse becomes the place to be on weekend evenings for locals and second home owners arriving from Chicago. |
