“where does one start? small, but cozy, welcoming, clean, cooks are fast, food is mouth watering delicious, the server is so cute that it's hard not to pinch her cheeks. All the staff there are always moving and grooving and you're never running out of food or drink. Hands down, the best breakfast place in Door County......it's suppppper underrated.”

“This is a must stop for lunch in Sturgeon Bay, old fashioned bar and grill, best for burgers, soups and bar food! The history was really fun to hear about. Best pricing for a great meal. The only down side is they are not very gluten-free friendly for sandwiches.”

“Prime rib was phenomenal!”

“Donnys Glidden delivers a classic old school supper club vibe and menu. While the menu is not pushing the culinary cutting edge, the food is generously portioned and very well prepared. The service is very solid and accommodating. The views on lake Michigan are worth a visit all on their own.”

“We stopped in yesterday with a very large group and they accommodated us immediately. Our waitress, Maddie, was amazing. The owners both were super helpful and kind. A truly sweet family. Our drinks and food came out much quicker than I would have expected for such a large group. Everything was perfect. The younger kids enjoyed the arcade area, while the adults played darts and threw axes. We will for sure be coming back next time we are in the area. Thank you all for a truly amazing experience yesterday.”

“So happy to get my Pan fried Perch plate while back home for a visit!!! So fresh and delicious!!!!”

“Best cake I have ever had. They have all kinds of goodies. Highly recommend checking them out. Your taste buds will thank you !!!”

“THE BEST COFFEE of my life!!! At the first sip of their Columbian Medium roast (with just a touch of cream and sugar), I froze in my tracks. Time stopped. I was overcome by the astonishingly satisfying flavor and balance. I forgot about all of my problems, for just a moment, and sunk into that perfection of their roast. It's rare for me to find that perfect balance of flavorful and bold without being overly acidic or bitter, while also not being watery or too weak, and THIS was it.

After that first sip, I had to tell someone, so I told Robert who was working behind the counter, just how much I loved this coffee. Robert was, from the start, so incredibly friendly and helpful, and a real pleasure to talk to. Robert warmly thanked me and said he'd pass my compliment to the owner.

For the next hour, I sat in the small, but very comfortable seating area, and began what I came for: To get on WIFI and work on my laptop and try to get something meaningful done. Not only did I get it done, I basically redesigned my worklife. I attribute my success in this (which I'd wanted to do for months) to the positive energy of that Columbian medium roast, the friendiness of Robert, and the warmth and optimism of the guests and staff that came in.

As if this wasn't already an amazing morning, Robert also introduced me to the owner, Sean, who told me a little about his roasting process (this has been his passion for 20 years!) One by one, really friendly people and staff came through the doors, and Robert introduced me to basically everyone that would be good for me to know in the local arts and music community, of which I am a new member.

I left Pinky Promise and went on to have probably the most productive and satisfying day I can recall in probably the past 5 years.

Thank you Sean, thank you Robert, thank you Pinky Promise!”

“Had a coffee and scone and they were both pretty good. The coffee and espresso were on the lighter/weaker side. So I would recommend getting an extra shot if you are used to a stronger flavor. Cool interior with lots of unique pieces.”

“What a fantastic atmosphere! The people were amazing, pizza was absolutely delicious and the beer was ice cold! Can't wait to go back! Thank you! 🍻🍕”

“The coolest cafe I’ve ever been to. So unique and artsy, while also actually having delicious food and coffee. I could drink the iced cinnamon roll latte every day. My husband finished his hot pistachio latte in just a couple minutes. Seriously so good!! We also each got a breakfast burrito when we definitely could have shared. We want to explore the other cafes in town, but 5th and Jefferson has set a high standard!!”

“Lov Valmy Excellent food great service Friday nite is first come. Especially if your a local Otherwise we waited Not bad but obviously such”

“Great beer, good food and friendly staff! Highly recommend BOTH locations! Great music at the Cherry Hut 3-6. Bring the hubby, the friends or even the family! Rover wouldn’t mind it either. A must visit every time we are in the Door. Oh, and grab a six-pack to go!”

“Our family favorite. Seen this place from 30 years ago and every year since. The menu is basic American fare . Food is good, hours are wonky but we don’t complain, ambiance is on the most beautiful place with fast efficient service.

I remember as a kid the game room and bar that stuck out taking up the entire restaurant. Then our distant cousin bought it, reconstructed the inside and began selling pizza but closed then after and sold to someone who named it “the Tin plate” (didn’t last long at all lol..) and now the current owners - which is a perfect fit. Always top tier service, so SO glad to see this place serve its intended purpose exactly how it’s supposed to be 🩵”

“Delicious food, helpful staff, and beautiful ambiance!”

“delicious fritters, gyro, fries! 🤤 & the mint lemon was refreshing! will continue to be a popular lunch pick”

“Best pho ever. Can’t wait to try more dishes. Dan is incredibly kind and will make sure you leave with a full belly and a smile on your face!”

“Every single time I have ordered online and gone inside it has been nothing but a positive experience. Everyone is super friendly and the place is always clean!I believe the workers name is Mathew. He has gone above and beyond customer service wise. This is my new favorite pizza place in sturgeon bay!”

“Always interesting beers on tap. A great place to meet friends”

“Stopped in for a little bit of coffee. Cale was super friendly and helpful! Red eye was smooth and easy to drink.

“A unique and fabulous experience.. Come stay in the motel and then on Thursday night bring your guitar and your songs and play your heart out to a warm and wonderful group of people.”

“What an amazing hidden gem! Long time Wisonsin natives back to visit and loved this live music dive bar. Clarence the 87 year old bartender and owner is the nicest guy, poured great drinks, cheap drinks, offered up fun conversation and good local history. Who says there's no night life in door county hasn't been here yet! A must to enjoy live music and fun times with friends!”

“Do NOT sleep on this cafe. Delicious breakfast, Marchant’s burgers, fantastic pancakes, right on the corner of the main drag in Sturgeon Bay. So glad we stopped by!”

“We discovered Kick Coffee while on vacation the first week in June. Tried a couple other places in town and always came back to Kick. Very quaint, gotta get there fast to get one of the 2 tables available. Popular with locals, appreciated friendliness of regulars who advised us of places to visit while staying the week. Highly recommended. Couldn’t leave without buying a souvenir to take back home to Indiana.”

“Truly engaged with the local community, they regularly sponsor schools and other local organizations by giving back a portion of proceeds. They post the dates of charity events on the drive through and we always try to make a point of getting JJ on those dates!”

“The fastest Starbucks we've ever been to. Service us quick and friendly, and they don't automatically assume you want tons of sugar or whipped cream added to your coffee.”

“Phenomenal lunch . Quality and taste outstanding- will definitely be back!”

“I found the answer to my sugar-free vanilla iced coffee latte. Truth be told, McDonald’s was tasting horrible. Starbucks wins!!!”

“Entry and exit to/from road challenging due to intersection. I had to take a second pass, missing it the first time.
Trellis makes the outdoor setting a delight. I wish more locations offered it.”

“Amazing! Our son came from Minneapolis to Door to surprise us for our birthdays! He wanted to take us to Donny’s for dinner, but made no reservations. We ended up at Crate in downtown (3rd Ave) Sturgeon-unassuming outside, but gave a try-I am a lover of foods around the globe, and I had THE BEST stuffed Pork chop I’ve EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!! We all loved the Sushi!! Loved my husband’s ‘Crate Old Fashioned!’ My Son loved his steak. I highly recommend!”
