Hammer & Nail is a hidden gem and well worth the trip to Barton City. The service is always exceptional and the food is delicious. In addition to their normal menu, Hammer & Nail also features various specialty nights, opening for dinner and offering different cuisine than that which is typically available in northern Michigan. You don’t want to miss out on this phenomenal establishment.

Don’t judge a book by its cover! When we first pulled up, their excellent reviews brought us to the door. I was not impressed from the outside, but you can see how much attention to detail and energy they have put into completely redoing the interior from the second you step foot inside! Everything looks brand new, well decorated, and carefully chosen, not to mention very clean. The tables were beautiful and even the dishes! Service was fast and accurate, and my husband’s skillet meal was absolutely delicious. I was not a fan of the biscuits and gravy (way too much pepper and the biscuits were a little tough) but they weren’t bad tasting, just not made to my liking. We both loved the bang bang shrimp appetizer! I also appreciated the cleanliness of the bathroom and that the portions were not too big.

We love this up north restaurant. We aren’t locals but when you enter the place, you feel like family. When we do come to Barton City, we visit Hammer & Nail 1-2 times a weekend. The food is GREAT. The fish fry Friday is the best within a 50 mile radius. 10/10 recommend!!!
