“I love this place. Very rarely do you get to experiencing a paired tasting at an affordable price. Every employee was enthusiastic about the brand and was very knowledgeable. Nothing is worse than going to a winery/brewery/distillery and the server has no clue about the label. Will be returning! Please check this place out!!!”
“Ernest is so sweet and very attentive. We had a bachelorette crew have some wine flights and froze’s and he made us feel celebrated! Such a great personality and very friendly. The wine was great as well but Ernest really made the experience special!”
“Blown away by the flavors that are absorbed in the doughs! Real apples in the fritters, sweet cherries for the danishes, nice crisp on the out sides of the doughnuts and Hugh smiles from the ladies behind the counter. People are always coming and going from the shop so hurry in before they run out!”
“Fantastic little restaurant. Absolutely delicious food. Great little twist on some old classics. Clean and friendly staff. The dessert’s are amazing! Can’t wait to return.”
“Amazing how it has grown. Yet, as one of their biggest supporters in the past 20 years I no longer enjoy their beer. They joined the bandwagon on cans only. The only one that benefits from can only is the investor in my opinion. I do enjoy filling my growler on occasion.”
“This was a nice place of respite. The ciders were good, the views were incredible, and the staff were very nice. I wish they had food available when we went. Otherwise it was a great experience!”
“Ethanology is always a great spot to grab a cocktail. Their menu is always really creative and they source local ingredients to make their drinks and spirits. The bartender today gave us two tastings of their gin and barrel aged gin after chatting about it. Everyone who works here is always very personable and passionate about the spirits. My husband and I are not fans of gin typically, but we would definitely drink the gin here. We always love to sit in the loft area with some games and cool decor.”
“One of the best Mexican food in town! They’re at the little fleet for December and we tried their special torta, it was AMAZING my husband and I kept talking about it all day! Follow them on instagram to always know where they are!”
“We stopped here at the Central Lake location on a day drive of the area. We left with several bottles of the Bloody Mary mix and vodka rhubarb and strawberry.The drinks were all fantastic, there is a large menu of choices. Drew was working that day and he was knowledgeable and made the trip fun. This is a place the locals love. They have several locations and i can’t wait to get home and start mixing.”
“My wife and I took a little trip to 2 Lads on a day of visiting several wineries. We were very impressed with the breathtaking views and friendly customer service we received!”
“Great cajun food with a fun funky atmosphere. Our server was very friendly and helped make our dining experience very memorable. I will go there again when I’m in the area. Highly recommend a visit here.”
“The staff seems eager to please and the setting is very comfortable and pleasing with a nice outdoor seating area also. I do hope for a larger menu with more vegan offerings and consistency. Please keep your prices reasonable or I'll put you in the "overpriced tourist category" in the future! I'm happy to see more lunch and dinner offerings but only wish they were offered more than on weekends. I'd be here as a regular then! Keep it simple and fresh and affordable!”
“Perfect quick stop for lunch, good to grab a slice of pizza and a soda. Seating indoors or outside behind the restaurant. The staff was friendly and the food was ?”
“We were in town for the polar Express and stopped in for a bite, the staff were very friendly and kind and the pizza was phenomenal. Great place to stop on and fill your belly definitely will not disappoint.”
“I loveeee the sandwiches here, my family makes it a point of coming every year we're on the peninsula. U customize which is very fun, and the bread and spreads are great. I do wish they had a vegetarian protein option, but otherwise it is perfect”
“I was overwhelmed with gratitude when stopping into the Dam Shop yesterday. The attentive service offered by Mike the manager and other employees was pleasantly surprising. Mike was extremely welcoming and took extra time and effort to accommodate my daughter’s food sensitivities. Also, we have ALWAYS had wonderful experiences with the baristas - Sarah, Emily and Audi - love them! Their friendly and helpful nature goes a long way. My daughter and I love the coconut milk option for lattes. We just love this place for so many reasons. The DAM shop all the way!Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating to food allergies and sensitivities.Parking: Very easy parking in their own private lot”
“I'm a little late it writing this review but it needs to written. The service at this restaurant was one of the best experiences I have yet had.Everything on the menu looked so good that I couldn't decide what to order. The chef came out and offered to make a seven course dinner with his choice of different menu options and wine pairings so that I could try as much food as possible.It was a night to remember, thank you!”
“We travel a lot and enjoy good food. This place was a hidden gem. Great food. Good service..menu had great options. This place is a must. Better than other local spots in Bellaire.”
“What a great small town bar with a friendly bartender and excellent bar food.My buddy had the black and blue Burger which I had a small taste of and it was excellent.I have the barbecue chicken sandwich on a bond that was also cooked to perfection.Just the right amount of fries and cold beer topped off our adventure.”
“We loved this charming local establishment. Central Lake is a quiet little enclave nestled between Torch Lake and Grand Traverse Bay and we felt so welcomed by staff and local patrons alike, and the food was excellent (hint: be sure and pick up a "french toast" muffin to go when you're done eating). It can be difficult to find good and reasonable priced dining in resort areas, so this one should definitely be on your list! Our hotel hostess was familiar with Touch of Class, but said she would mention it to other guests as well, as it's just a short 9-min. drive.”
“Best side salad I've seen in a very long time. Perfect topings and salad variety.Your Ribs where delicious ?Great flavor and perfect smoke and cook on them.Paired with a pinot nior and it made for an amazing meal.”
“For more than 50 years the Town Club has been serving Elk Rapids fine good and drink. The renovation is fantastic, modern with small town charm. Just had dinner 4/24/23, still great. Try the Home Run burger!”
“The price is too good to pass up. The absolute best smash burger you can get in Elk Rapids. Much better than the simple hidden valley ranch seasoned smash burgers served elsewhere. The owner is actually very friendly, shows no signs of bipolar disorder and is not entitled like another restraunt owner nearby. The food here is ALWAYS consistent.”
“Johnny’s Torch Riviera is an amazing re-boot of a timeless atmosphere on the lake. It’s affordable, the vibe is lively and friendly, and service is nothing short of exemplary! 10/10 would recommend!”
“It was a good place but you have to site on the regular pic nick tables for shade today and they were covered in food and melted ice cream. We wiped it down best we could but you know ice cream”
“Had dinner with family at the Foundry Craft Grillery in Elk Rapids. Food was delicious and our server was wonderful. They had a trivia night and we participated and it was fun. A great experience and looking forward to going back sometime soon ? my first time here. Yall made a great impression on me. ”
“If you ever find yourself on the southeast side of Torch Lake, be sure to stop by here. Plenty of drinks to choose from in a chill atmosphere. I didn't get food this time but will definitely try it next time.”
“How have we missed this place? So glad we stopped in to try Chang Express. The server was nice and did such a great job explaining the sauces and dishes. We ordered one dish and told her to surprise us with one of her favorites. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. Rice was great, the hotness was perfect for me at a level 5. We are already talking about going back to try some other dishes. So glad we made the stop.”
“Wow! I am allergic to gluten so I have to have gluten free crust. I have learned to order cauliflower crust, because I’ve never had a gluten free crust that tasted like anything other than perhaps cardboard. We’ll that just changed! The gluten free crust at Classic Pizza is delicious! It was soft, and had flavor! I’m so happy that I put aside my negative attitude about GF crust and tried it, Classic Pizza is my new favorite pizza place!”
“Warm friendly place. Brought 15 people (called ahead). They were very accommodating. We were looking for appetizers for the whole table and the bartender suggested Mombo (?) baskets. They were a bit of everything from the fryer in each basket. Perfect”
