“Our stay was great! The communication and check in went smoothly, the room was just as described and we enjoyed our stay. I believe that there was only one other room of guests but there were many patrons in the dining/bar area each evening and it was not noisy at all. The bedding was extremely comfy and the amenities were top notch! I highly recommend The Riverside Inn!“
“We have been here many times over the years and the taste and quality of the food is consistent. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. They have a full ball. Service is good. Their chowder is very good. Fish and chips are also very good. Not greasy at all. Leland itself is a lovely up north town.“
“Cool, unsuspecting restaurant. Had the tasting menu. The soup was excellent, and the walleye didn't disappoint either. Wasn't very fond of the dessert but to each their own. Bar tender/server was a nice guy who was enthusiastic about the food and drinks. With 3 tasting menus ordered in our party I expected the chef to come out and say hello. As a chef for the last 20 years this is the best fine dining meal I have had in the Grand Traverse area. Highly recommended.“
“What a treat. Great service, great sandwiches with great flavor and stacked high with meat, slaw and kraut. As soon as the sandwich came to the table, I knew this could be the best value(quantity, quality, flavor and price) I have received at a restaurant in a very long time. I was right. Perfect combination, awesome value.My only suggestion would be for signage. We started out heading north past this location, and my brain said "wow, a small market out here away from it all". I did not recognize that it was a restaurant, until later in the day when were were checking google for a place to eat. A sign at the road (or as near as they allow) might help draw more "passer by's" into the location.“
“We came to celebrate my birthday. Did a 4 course meal.Appetizer we did the Focaccia bites which was absolutely amazingSalad we shared a small plate of the Apple & Farro. Small plate was perfect for us to share and highly recommend as wellEntrees we did the Duck cassoulet with Brussel sprouts and Tuscan Chicken paired with green beans….. both entrees we loved. My personal fav was the green beans for the veggie.Desert we had the tiramisu which was extremely light and the chocolate hazelnut bar which was rich and paired nicely with a cup of coffee.To top it off we enjoyed the atmosphere and the 2 person band who played beautifullyOur server Jessica was extremely helpful and delightful.I recommend all to come try!“
“I can’t visit the TC/Sutton’s Bay area without a stop at Hoplot. The beer is tasty, the atmosphere is relaxing and inviting and the staff is friendly and helpful.Definitely a place you can bring kids too also or just enjoy some time with your significant other or friends.“
“We happened upon the newly opened space, as it was one of few places open in the off season…we’re so glad we did! The entire menu was refreshing - so many fresh and unique options. We got strawberry and root beer milkshakes, broccoli wings, quinoa Phoenix burger, and the Mr. Darcy salad.We waited about 30 min from the time we ordered to eating, which was perfect as we got to walk around town, and then enjoy our milkshakes (AMAZING) while playing games set out on each table (so thoughtful and a preferable atmosphere to patrons with their head in the phones). Every other itemwe ordered was FANTASTIC with huge portions (I didn’t even get to touch the salad, but am excited to eat it tomorrow!) Broccoli wings are a must-try and the quinoa burger is the best veggie patty (housemade, too!) that my husband has ever tasted.If you’re in the area, go support this business!“
“We had an outstanding experience from the beginning to end. We were going to another restaurant in town, however, with an hour wait, my brother suggested we call North Country and we got right in. Our server Tristan was great, friendly, attentive and efficient.The Cajun Walleye was outstanding as were the other dishes. We will return.“
“Fischer’s is the best. From the chili, to the chicken, to the French dip, and *drumroll please* the ever life changing sanders cream puff, which my 98yo grandfather requested regularly…Fischer’s is/was/will be a staple for this family.“
“Lovely small dining restaurant with high end quality meals. First meal here years ago were delicious fish tacos. The fish perfectly cooked. Jalapeno sauce great accent. This week i went for Traverse City restaurant week. Once again, a magnificent meal. I started with siraccha stuffed mushroom caps. I love mushrooms, so easy to please, although i really didn't catch the siraccha. I then had a steak in lobster sauce with shrimp. A side of scalloped potatoes. Absolutely delicious with the steak cooked exactly how i requested. For dessert i had the turtle sundae which was a wonderful finale. There was no disappointment. Highly recommend. Again and again and again...“
“We've driven past the charming location so many times saying, "We really need to try it!" before finally making reservations on a Sunday evening to take my parents there when they visited in November. We were all thoroughly delighted by every course -- not the least of which is arguably the broadest selection of Scotch anywhere outside of Scotland!We returned a second time on a Thursday and enjoyed the live (Celtic? Gaelic?) folk music along with an equally delicious meal. Looking forward to catching the next Scotch tasting event.“
“Super duper delicious! They were short staffed, but we couldn't tell! The meatloaf cupcakes are SAVORY! the Lobster Bisque is great, and the Bang Bang Shrimp is something to write home about! We went on 12/1/2023, around 430 pm. I forget the bartender's name but she was great and seemed like a happy employee! Thanks folks!“
“This is a gem and you mus try!! We had stopped in previously for a drink and popcorn perch— they are addictive. Our wait person Hannah was kind and fun and asked us to come back for Sunday family dinner. We just did and it was $15 for adults and something like $8 for kids —ARE YOU KIDDING!! They want it to be affordable and WOW - a guy playing guitar, fresh lightly battered cod with homemade tarter sauce,brisket -tender with nice BBQ sauce, penne pasta with a meaty sauce, fresh veggies, homemade real mashed potatoes, chicken bites for the kids, corn and tater tots and ALL you can EAT. Everything was beyond good and the staff-Madison and the mgr Becky were awesome.This is a must try and wonderful place we will be at frequently - would love to give it a 10“
“What a charming little place. We had a great time on their patio with a fire pit and heated throws. The drinks were awesome. Hot cider with Brandy was a big hit on a cold November day. The food was delicious ( brisket chili and pork belly burnt ends sandwich ). and the servers so accommodating. I would highly recommend this place.“
“Everything was phenomenal, the fries were amazing, sweet potato and regular. The burger was hefty and juicy, and the fried fish was crisp and delightful. By far the best thing we experienced was the soup! We had the Reuben soup, complete with rye croutons in it for a spectacularly flavorful crunch. My only regret is not getting more soup to go! The only thing I could improve would be the ribs. While they were fall apart cooked beautifully, the sauce is simply sweet baby rays, nothing made in house. That aside, the fireplace was warm and inviting, and it was hard to stop smiling while sitting near it. An absolute must go to if you're in the area.“
“We were invited to a bowling birthday party for an 8 year old and had an awesome time! The bowling was super fun. We ate pizza, chicken tenders, and fries. The food wasn't greasy! It was quality food. We still felt good after eating there.Kid-friendliness: The bowling alley was great for the kids party! Not a lot of other people there, in November on a Sunday, which was really great!“
“You must get the Brussel Sprouts, enough for 3-4 people! Service can be slow at peak times but friendly. My vodka drink was weak. The food was served hot and was delicious. They'll let you substitute turkey insted of corned beef for the Reuben. The menu has something for everyone. The atmosphere of the inside is dated and could use updating. The outside of the Lodge was beautifully decorated with fall items.Wheelchair accessibility: No large steps. Restaurant is one level even to outside.“
