The best chicken Marsala I’ve had in my whole damn life. I’d bathe in their sweet chili sauce. Service was also 10/10, Stephanie was a phenomenal server!

My daughter and I came here for lunch. Everything was excellent! Service, food and atmosphere. Cassy our server was friendly and very efficient. She was on top of it! We had the pizza which was delicious and cooked to perfection. The guy who made our pizza and drinks even came to our table and asked how we liked it! We will definitely be back.

I came in for the patio view of the river. Came away very impressed with Food and staff. This is holiday season so place was swamped but they had tons of staff. The food goes above and beyond standard fare. Best pizza in town. Good dough perfectly cooked. Burgers were fresh. Where can you get a nice 1/2 pound fresh hamburger? Nowhere. This is hands down the best restaurant in Boyne. If ur in town long enough chances are you will dine at all of them. Do yourself a favor and start here.

Recently restored. Soft benches, solid tables, rustic ceiling. Beautiful views of Boyne River and park beyond that. Two separate bar tops. Excellent food. A little pricy but good quality and quantity. Many TV screens to watch.

Rustic restaurant with great food. We had the fried shrimp, they were large and lightly breaded. The roasted vegetables were smoky and seasoned well. Our server was friendly and attentive.

Soooo happy BRI is open again! It as been my favorite since I was a kid. The BEST olive burger anywhere. And Chef Russell installed a legit brick pizza oven! (also in pic) also a must try is the fish and chips. (2nd pic.) Thank you BRI staff for bringing back my very special food memories with my Dad... He loved your olive burger.
