Frontier
BBQ is another one of my favorite joints when I am up near Cadillac.
A small food trailer permanently parked on a lot in Lake City, this
small business with open air seating under a lean-to is one of my
favorite casual venues. Their location is on the main strip and
right across the street is Lake Missaukee. During the warm summer
days, the overhang keeps the sun away and the breeze off the lake
cools you down. During the summer, this town of 2,500 comes alive
with tourists visiting the city.
Visiting
Frontier is about two things—the timing and their specialty. They
are only open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Also, you need to get
there by lunch to get their specialty before they run out. I have
only tried one item and I like it so much that I don't dare to try
anything else. They serve up the Texas Tater. It is one of the
largest baked potatoes that I have ever seen fully loaded with
cheese, sour cream, green onions, and topped with brisket. For $9,
it's perfect for any meat-and-potatoes lover. I like to throw on a
bunch of their BBQ sauce, watch the glistening lake, and take it easy
watching the fellow tourists passing. There is no parking lot so
grab a spot on the street when you can. Plan to visit Lake City some
Saturday for a day-trip. Hit the nearby swimming beach, stroll
leisurely around town, and get some BBQ.
