6 Best American Restaurants near Topinabee

“We were spending two nights in Topinabee with a trip to Mackinac Island planned. Before we headed for the island, we needed some breakfast and stopped at Cafe Noka. It was delightful. It's small, maybe 7-8 tables and a short counter (in length) with seating, but the folks working there are great and the food will leave you full for hours. For instance, we were mulling our orders and noticed the pancakes. There were size offerings: full stack (3), short stack (2), no stack (1). We were told NOT to order the FULL stack because it was too much. Our server was right. I had the short stack and it was plenty! Everyone enjoyed the food and we decided to stop again on our way back down state. Again, it was well worth the time!“

“My husband and I were traveling through on our way back from Mackinaw and stopped for dinner. I had the best French dip I've ever had! Shaved prime rib and super soft bread. He has the olive burger and he said it was outstanding. The homemade chips were also great. We had the calamari appetizer which was also great, perfect breading, not rubbery and the sauce was unique and delicious. Our service was phenomenal. We love finding local, "hole in the wall" places and this hit all the marks!“

“Excellent family breakfast cafe. We arrived with over 30 people and the staff was incredibly kind, hospitable, and welcoming to our entire crowd (which also had 15 kids under 10!) The portions and quality of food were phenomenal leaving everyone with a fantastic experience despite the chaotic environment our crowd generated. The staff were awesome and would recommend this place to anyone staying in the Boyne, IR, or Petoskey areas.“

“Great small town bar with the usual apps and good burgers. It's nice to find a place that doesn't try to glam up the menu it seems like everyone is trying to be too upscale. This place is a bar and they do it well. I will definitely be a regular when I'm in the area.“

“Super friendly servers, knowledgeable bar tender and good food. I chose to eat here after reading all of the rave reviews of their burgers but I also had a hankering for wings so I got both. The burger was pretty good, but cooked more well done than the medium rare that I requested. It could have used a little salt and pepper. Other than that, it was a good bar burger. The wings really shined bright! They are the best that I've had in northern Michigan and I will come back just for those. The cheese curd appetizer was also very good and plentiful. Over all I'll be back again!!“

“This place is awesome wish they were open 24:7. If you know food then you’ll realize this place has one of absolute best burgers in all of northern Michigan. Fries are seasoned and hand cut and amazing the guy that runs it is super nice and friendly and service is always top notch and professional. Couldn’t recommend this place more.“
