Restaurants near Alanson

“Absolutely Perfect Fall Stop! Uncle Frank’s Apple Town is hands down one of my favorite fall traditions! From the moment you arrive, the smell of fresh-pressed cider and warm donuts fills the air — pure happiness. The staff are always friendly, the grounds are spotless, and there’s something for everyone — from families with kids to anyone just looking to soak in some cozy autumn vibes. Their cider is crisp and perfectly sweet, the donuts melt in your mouth, and you can tell everything is made with care and pride. The atmosphere is festive but relaxed, and every corner feels like a little slice of fall magic. 🍎🍩🍁🐝 If you haven’t been yet, go! You’ll leave smiling, probably with a gallon of cider (or two) and a dozen donuts you won’t want to share. Ps…I love seeing the Quad every year and knowing the bumbles helped make it all possible 🐝🍎”

“I finally stopped for the first time this morning. I met Sunshine, who was amazing! There’s so many different options and the Red Bull energy drink I got was perfect”

“My husband and I were at the Harbor Springs farmers market and bought a beautiful strawberry rhubarb pie for our 40th anniversary that weekend. It was THE best pie we had ever eaten! We ate it every night of our vacation lol Thank you Ditch Oven Bakery for making our 40th Anniversary special. We live in Florida so will be missed:(”

“Janes sweet creations did such an amazing job with the cake for my Dad's 70th. She did everything i asked for and even put in the small details and little touches! Would highly recommend, efficient and friendly. Cake also tasted delicious!!”

“Best stuffed mushrooms and steamer sandwich.”

“We love the small-town, family-owned atmosphere. And they have a drive thru which is nice in inclement weather, or if you’re disabled. Love those Dilly Bars! 5 stars!”

“The best gluten free pancakes I have ever had!! Great service. Will be back!”

“The Michigan Pie is delicious!! A mix of apple, cherry, and blueberry with a yummy crumble topping! Friendly service too!”

“Went for lunch and honestly probably won't need dinner tonight because the portions were amazing. The soup and salad bar hit the spot, with some delicious and creative soups, and matched with a great salad selection. We enjoyed every part of our meal and the service, even had to take a slice of carrot cake to go because who can turn down homemade desserts.”

“Funky looking from the outside but the burgers were terrific! Bartender was very nice. Worth the stop”

“Great stop for dinner while on the road and traveling through around dinner or even lunch time. Cute lil town and park across the street. Ordered and got our hot pizza within 15 mins. It was delicious also! Very happy with it. They allowed me to switch toppings and it made all the difference for me! The two young employees were a little strange but the owner was very pleasant! Definitely will come back when in the area!! Great pizza!!!”

“We agreed that the Alanson Subway is one of the nicest we've been to. The young gal who waited on us was really good at her job. Very friendly and so efficient.”

“While we had hoped to try Legs Inn, they were not pet friendly so we bypassed and landed at Polish Kitchen. Sometimes what we think is a disappointment turns out to be a hidden surprise! PK was VERY good and accommodating. We've been to Poland multiple times and PK's cuisine took us right back! Smacznego!”

“Perfect dinner in the most beautiful place in northern Michigan”

“Can’t say enough great things. Great beer, great food. The outdoor seating was outstanding for a large group. And management supports animal welfare! Don’t leave your dogs in the car! Management was quick to identify patrons and address the issue of dogs in the car on a hot day. The place is dog friendly, so it made zero sense for dogs to be left in the car. The response was very much appreciated.”

“10/10 recommend food was great owner was very kind. We drove from Indian River to try this spot for the first time. When we walked in our to go order was ready for us and the owner came out from the kitchen to say "thanks for letting us make you dinner" this was very nice. 😁”

“This place is amazing! Everyone is happy here!!🙂The staff is friendly and attentive! We love their Margherita pizza!!💕”

“We got to eat here Saturday night while visiting friends. I have to say that it was the best food I think I've ver had. I wish Chef Dean had a restaurant in our hometown. Amazing!”

“Fantastic job. Great pizza guys.”

“I ordered the all you can eat jumbo shrimp dinner and it was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend it. They also have the best shrimp lenny....”

“very clean wait staff NOT CRABBY 😉😁”

“Service is GREAT and the food and environment is the best.”

“Can’t say enough good stuff about Ron’s Bar…so I won’t.”

“Been living in Northern Michigan for over 10 years and never knew about Crooked Tree Breadworks until now. This artisan bakery has amazing breads and pastries. The Epi Baguette is fantastic, as is the classic sourdough bread. Tried the orange currant scone and it was delicious. The holiday stollen was reduced to six dollars. There were boxes leftover from Christmas so I bought one. Honestly, the stollen was too old and stale to have been sold to customers. Even though I warmed and toasted the stollen, it was still tasteless. So glad I came here twice because they do have outstanding artisan baked goods but prices are somewhat steep which is expected in an affluent place like Petoskey.”

“The Spinach Artichoke Shrimp pizza is to die for.”

“Is there anything better than a cold beer after skiing at Nubs Nob? Answer...No.Super friendly atmosphere with ample seating inside and out if you wish to sit outside. 90 percent skiiers/snowboarders but there seem to be a few locals that like to visit depending on the weather. Everyone there is there to have fun. You can make new acquaintances there if you like, or just chill out minding your own business.The pub requires guests to be 21 +, so leave the kids behind if you can.Bob the bartender is a great guy and a professional. He will set you up. Drinks only. No food options in the pub.Friendly hint, if possible bring a few bucks cash with you to tip. The credit card machine does not allow a person to add gratuity. I don't normally carry much cash anymore. What little I did have went into the tip jar. I will know better next time.”

“I had the Side Door Saloon cater a luncheon for me and they were wonderful to work with. The food was fantastic and the service was top notch. They had everything prepared, boxed up, and even helped us get it to the car. I will definitely be using them again!”

“Not realizing they closed at 2 , I hate to be that person , I strolled in at 1:58 to grab lunch . They were so kind , thankful , and sweet as I apologized. Happy holidays gang ! Had a great BLT bagel today !!”

“Best store around for miles! They have all my favorite organic food brands and healthy body care brands at fair prices too! They even have organic carrots and local eggs!”
