Celebrated table
The story
Cut River Grille sits along East Higgins Lake Drive in Roscommon, Michigan, serving American cuisine to locals and visitors drawn to the lakes and forests of the state's northern Lower Peninsula. The restaurant earned a 2024 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence — a distinction that speaks to a wine program thoughtfully matched to its kitchen.
The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence is granted only to restaurants whose lists demonstrate genuine range, balance, and harmony with the food on the table. For a destination like Cut River Grille, earning that recognition places it among a select group of American dining rooms where the glass is taken as seriously as the plate.
The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner, making it a natural stop whether you're spending an afternoon on Higgins Lake or settling in for an evening meal after a day in the region.
