“Wallah one of the best Palestinian dishes served in the state of Michigan. From living in almost every corner and center within the state (including Dearborn), I have not had tasted middle eastern food so authentic yet true to the new generation of Palestinians. The servers and chefs were great, nice people who were down to sit and talk. I also ordered a caramel latte, and I truly mean it when I say, this coffee was so tasty so delicious, I can’t ever step foot in another coffee shop again. None will compare. Please trust me when I say, you NEED to go here.“
“Stopped in with the family and they all loved it. Son was asking to go back the next day. Unfortunately the flavor I chose (peanut butter oreo) was so bland it didn't seem to have any flavor. All in all it's a place worth stopping in.“
“The Asian Wrap is my favorite product of theirs. Fantastic spinach tortilla and great balance of flavors. Ask them for the soy glaze when ordering! Everything is so fresh and they don't cut corners like other places downtown. Keep up the good work!“
“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!“
“These are the crepes that your life is missing ? Delicious savory or sweet crepes, quality cocktails, and a cozy environment... What's more to ask for?Crepes are all hand-held, so there's no silverware to fuss with. Also, rumor has it, they have pretty good oysters as well!“
“Fun little distillery a little bit outside of town. Nice vibe with indoor and lots of outdoor seating. We’re not too into whiskey but the cherry sour was delicious, as well as the cocktail cherries. They had pretzels for food but not much else. Would definitely go again for a drink in the summer“
“Great place to hang out and get a beer. The two different beers that we tried were great ands the atmosphere was very comfortable. The only downside is that they don’t offer food. I did see that people were bringing food from other restaurants but it would be nice if they had some small appetizers or something. The beer was good enough to have us overlook the lack of food.“
“This was our first stop of the day and we will definitely be back! David was so sweet, helpful, and talkative (not to mention very generous with samples)! The former schoolhouse was a hit with our group of three teachers! Is so adorable. I have seen the wine in some major retailers in metro Detroit so, to be honest, I didn't have the highest hopes for the quality. I was happily proven wrong! It was our favorite stop of the day- due to both the amazing customer service and the absolutely delicious ciders. We had so much fun we lost track of time and were late for our reservation up the road. The option to make your own 6 pack is like putting a kid in a candy store. We left with three 6 packs, 3 separate cans, two bottles of wine, and 2 prowlers of root beer. Most of this, however, would not have been purchased if David wasn't there. I dare say we have a new favorite place for ciders.“

“Can be difficult to get a table (especially during the weekend) as a walk up but they do have reservations on line! Food is good, service can be slow if it’s busy but that can be expected. Interesting experience eating inside but in the hallway roped off from walking path. Makes for fun people watching!Parking can be pretty difficult on the weekend so make sure to leave plenty of time for that!“
“Silver Spruce Brewing Company offers a diverse range of craft beers with distinct flavors. The ambiance is inviting, providing a cozy setting to enjoy their brews. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a beer enthusiast or a casual visitor, Silver Spruce Brewing Company is worth a try for its well-crafted beverages and pleasant atmosphere.“
“Food- I didn't order any, so I will refrain from commenting. Beverage- I wanted Oberon, not here yet. So, Cheboygan Brewing Co's Blood Orange was great. Service- perfect. Ambiance- This place is super fancy. I had not been inside before, loved the vibe. Love me a lamp with some fringe. Beetlejuice was playing on a wall, I love Beetlejuice!“
“We had a great stay at Brengman Brothers Winery which is located just West of Grand Traverse Bay, North of Traverse City. We were fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to be hosted by Brengman Brothers through Harvest Host. The winery and tasting room is situated on a hill overlooking the orchards. The facility was beautiful and offered indoor and outdoor seating options. The staff was friendly and accommodating. We shared a charcuterie board and tasted their wine which was excellent. My wife enjoyed the Chardonnay.We spent the night in the orchards in our RV. The climb to the top of the hill overlooking he orchards was fairly simple and we had a picnic table and fire ring. The sunrise over the orchard was magnificent. Thanks again to Brengman Brothers for the great hospitality.“
“My finance and I went to left foot Charley twice during our weekend stay to traverse city. It has become a tradition to stop there every time we’re in town. I’m already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend the charcuterie plate, cinnamon girl and tepache.“
“I would have rated it higher if I could. This Ramen is down right amazing. I haven't and anything like it. I love the complexity of the different flavors in the full send bowl. I've only had it twice but I'd recommend it because both times I had it the flavor blew me away. If your a Ramen lover stop what your doing right now and go try it I promise you won't regret it“
“I was visiting in the area, and my friends took me to this place for pizza, and it did not disappoint! I had the cherry cream soda and pizza. Everything was delicious, the servers were fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed it! One of the young ladies was kind enough to take a few pictures of our group.“
“Downtown venue with inside and outside seating. Welcomed immediately by friendly staff! Food offerings change monthly. Large tables inside, some high top tables and new low tables with cushion benches. Many draft options and a cocktail menu. Love the vibe and the outside area is open year round! Always a favorite while in Traverse City!“
“Love their energy drinks and smoothies! Coffee drinks are good also. My wife likes smooth 7, I believe. My favorite is the blended cinnamon bun. Really tasty! Staff are always super nice and are always quick to get your order completed and have you on your way. Like the loyalty program with your phone number. Every tenth drink free. Must have gotten 10 drinks free by now. Ask about the secret menu they have and try some different combinations of flavors in your smoothies that aren't on the everyday menu. 2 locations in Traverse City and have not really ever had to wait to long. Great for a quick drink on the go while heading to work. Open really early also. I believe 5:30 am to 10 pm.“
“We each did a flight of beers that sounded interesting to us and liked a majority of them. There were a lot of unique flavors and some things that were fun to try. The Nitro CEO stout was smooth and delicious. Concrete dinosaur was heavy and tasted great as well. Wait staff was friendly and chatty. The arcade games put coin slot to shame. We had a really fun time and we’d go back in a heartbeat.“
“You have to have lunch here! It's delicious!Wish I had come here sooner! They've been open since 2019 and today (2023) is the first time I've been in. I have really been missing out and so is anyone that has driven past and not pulled in. They should have lines out the door the food is delicious, healthy, filling and fairly priced. You must stop the next time you're looking for something good for your body and soul.I ordered the sweet potato chia bowl. It had marinated kale, brown rice, plenty of roasted turkey, and delightful sweet potatoes. It was really really good and totally worth the $13 or $14 I paid. Skip McDonald's (their neighbor), or a bowl at Qdoba. This is the place to be. And I try to find places that are food sensitivity conscious, and this place has so many options for gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc.Plus the gentleman behind the counter (owner I presume), was kind and friendly. When the cook was serving up my dish through the window, the guy at he counter teased back to the cook "chia later!"...I love a good dad joke any day! And I don't know if I was dreaming, but I'm pretty sure the cook was drumming with his spatula on the grill in the back to the song over the speakers.I was there less than 10 minutes, but it was such a happy experience. I can't wait to go back!“
“I grew up in Michigan and now visit in summer there when I can. Had the absolute joy of visiting the enchanted Light of Day Farm twice and now order the unparalleled quality of the LoD Macha green tea. My husband, who doesn't normally drink tea, now requests batches of the Leelanau Licorice, which is surprisingly sweet without any sugar. Proud to buy from this biodynamic gem that nurtures the soil ...and us though their diligent caring work!“
“I love getting to go here whenever I get a chance to visit Traverse City. Kind of off the beaten path of Downtown. This place has a brewpub vibe while also offering their own beer and others brews as well so they can serve pretty much anyone. Their food is top notch and a great place to drink some good beer and eat some good food. Simple as that.***Update***Went again, still great! Great NA selection!Parking: Parking is kind of a disaster, but that has nothing to do with the business. Just the location“
“Went for a private tour with my wife for our 17th anniversary and had a spectacular time. The wine was exceptional and our tour guide Renee was simply amazing. Her passion for the wines made the experience so much better than when some tours sound like the tour guide is reading from a script. I highly recommend.“
“Cordwood BBQ Catering is AMAZING! Look no further if you want to hire an exceptional catering team who is professional, serves incredible food, and shows up with a smile! We had the pleasure of working alongside Amy and her team for a Northern Michigan wedding. We have nothing but great things to say about their team! Amy went above and beyond to make sure the bride was happy and getting exactly what she wanted. She was very accommodating and flexible which made the entire process smooth!“
“Who doesn't love a corner ice cream stand? This adorable little place has been around a very long time. Just look for the sputnik style light on the roof at the corner of Garfield and Front St!Take a short stroll and enjoy your ice cream at beautiful Bryant Park a mere block away. Convenient location on a main thoroughfare.Not just delicious treats like cones, sundaes and malts. They also have delicious pulled pork and sloppy joe sandwiches. Hot dogs & nachos too.Don't forget to get a t-shirt or sweatshirt while you're there to commemorate your visit.“
“Frenchie's pastrami sandwich is truly one of the only things that makes living in Traverse City worth it. The bread is fresh, the pastrami is astonishingly juicy, and there's something about the mustard I can't express through words.Some say Frenchie, the man himself, is mean, or brash at the very least. There may be some truth to these claims. My dad says he once gave Frenchie a cooler and was never thanked. He yelled at my grandma once, but I'm sure he had his reasons. When he picks up the phone, you can tell how he's feeling by the way he says the word "Frenchie's." You can hear the 15 years of owning a restaurant in his voice. You would probably yell at people too, if you had his job.But none of his transgressions matter when the sandwich is melting in your mouth. I think Frenchie is delightful. Frankly, I like that you never really have to guess what kind of day he's having. It's almost what I imagine living in New York is like.Frenchie will always have my business, and my respect. I hope he never changes.“
“My wife and I were heading back from our day trip through the Old Mission Peninsula wine trail when we had to make a special stop at Bonobo. We found out from the girl at the bar that we had just missed Carter by a couple hours but nonetheless we enjoyed our glasses of Merlot and Riesling with our complimentary glasses. The atmosphere inside was very warm and welcoming. We'll definitely be back in the summer/fall when the outside patio will be open back up!“
“Went here on a Sunday morning without a reservation. They were able to accommodate my party of 3 at the first come first serve bar seating they offer. I ordered chicken and waffles with a side of bacon. After my first bite I knew that the food was worth every penny. I will return.“
