“This place was awesome! The Turkey/White Cheddar Sandwich with Black Pepper Kettle Chips was by far the best cafe lunch I've ever had! The atmosphere was amazing, as well as the dock and outdoor seating. I will definitely make this a routine stop anytime I'm in the area!”

“Elegantly prepared dishes made of high quality locally sourced ingredients with a view that will impress.”

“We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner at Nonna’s. The surf and turf were very good. The beet salad, filet and the scallops were very good as well as the presentation and service. It is very convenient to have dinner at Nonna’s and not have to drive on New Years Eve.”

“What can I say? Cherry Republic makes a great product. They have perfected the chocolate covered cherries. 🍒”

“Love this place - we stop by each summer and grab a few of their loose teas to enjoy for the next year. You can grab an iced tea to go! Perfectly unique options for both hot and cold brews, love the Mackinaw Breeze and the Sunshine Splash!”

“We were treated like royalty here. My two friends had two wine samplers and had a glass of wine. I had the cherry lime soda and cherry cream soda and a sampling of cherry pie ice cream. We shared a plate of their fantastic French fries served with the hoppy beer cheese sauce and all agreed the fries were perfectly seasoned and the cheese sauce positively drinkable. Bella and Chef spoiled us. I can hardly wait for my next trip up from Detroit to try more! Thank you for your hospitality!!”

“Wonderful food choices and great service. Marsha is the best.”

“Great place! Friendly staff! Good food! Fun atmosphere! We had dinner and enjoyed it! Keep up the wonderful tradition.”

“Nice place. They had live music and several tvs to watch sports. Bar tender was working hard, but the place was packed and understaffed. He received a nice tip and we bussed a table so we had a place to watch the entertainment. We did not eat so could not rate food.”

“I just want to say thank you fo taking such great care of us even during these trying times during the pandemic!! You have overnighted us enough product to get us thru the instability of your bean supplier and kept us running strong! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all you folks and again it’s such a pleasure to do business with a “Partner” instead of just a supplier!! Thank you again!! Ozark Coffee Company Harrison, AR”

“Good place to stop for ice cream. $5.50 for a baby cone this size is a good deal to me. Recommend the rush hour hand dipped. A couple of young people running it, but did pretty good.”

“Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant! The food was excellent, portions were large, service was quick and friendly, and the outdoor seating was great! The food isn't "touristy" (meaning it's not low quality like other places in the area). We live about 20 minutes away and wanted a nice place to take my visiting relatives, so we thought we'd give it a try and I'm happy we did! My husband and I will definitely be back.”

“Best perch I've ever had!!! Good portions too! Suzie was fantastic!!!”

“great food and service, fast and easy.”

“Party of four had dinner there on July 4, 2025. Food was good, but not as advertised on the menu. The apple salad was small and did not have candied walnuts on it and the nachos had no cheese on them. The 1/2 ribs that my husband ordered were tasty, but we ended up ordering cheesy fries after our meals because we were still hungry. The ribs came with coleslaw and nothing else.The server was friendly and efficient.”

“Had a wonderful might before thanksgiving meal with our son. Excellent drinks, asparagus app, the eggplant parm (i came here for) was amazing and my wife had the veal piccata also superb. New owner but same experience 👍”
