Restaurants near Bessemer

“Pam was terrific - then Steph the owner took control of the bar. Incredibly great atmosphere for out of town’ers like us. Great feel, selection of Michigan brews and traditional favorites are behind Steph’s bar.!.!”

“Cute little bakery shop with a seating area. We stopped for take-out sub sandwiches so we could have a picnic in the nearby park. Good quality ingredients on fresh buns. Was surprised to see hard rolls there, since that had previously been a local Sheboygan, WI specialty. Be advised it is cash only BUT there is a no-fee ATM about a block away at Kwik Trip.”

“Good service & food. Been ordering for years”

“I like the old Pit Stop much better! This place is cold and unwelcoming! The bartender was colder than the beer!”

“We always have to make Uncle Sam’s a must stop when we’re in the area. Great atmosphere for sure!!! Can’t wait to come back!!”

“Best PBP ever! ❤️❤️❤️ Check it out!✅”

“Best cheese curds up north! Had great experience! Can’t go wrong on anything you get.”

“Such a welcoming and familial environment ! We just stopped by there with my husband to watch a UEFA champions league soccer game which is quite far from American interest; but everybody was happy to put the game for us and discuss with us the whole time. Mikkie even paid us a round of beers. We had a lovely time and a great local experience ! Highly recommended !”

“We both tried pasties for the first time. Rigonis shipped them to us. OMG so delicious! We will visit in person this summer to try the other flavors!!!! Thank you!! PS I baked an extra one which is far too much for one meal. Tomorrow morning I will break it up and fry up in some butter with over easy eggs on it. Can't wait!!!”

“Great food, friendly staff, very clean, and nicely decorated. A true gem in the mountains. We've ate their many times, and enjoy bringing others who were never there. The soups are so tasty, and for younger diners - breakfast is available. Make sure to save room for dessert.”

“Bartenders were awesome! Didn't live up to their names - Mean and Surly. 🤣 Great vibe, solid beer. I send a lot of folks here and they always enjoy!”

“This was our third stop for pasties on our road trip through Michigan and the UP. Previous stops were Superior Coffee in Sault Ste Marie and Muldoon's in Munising.

Joe's has been making pasties for 78 years (since 1946), so it might be the oldest pasty shop in Michigan.

We tried the traditional and the Finnish. I'm a big fan of the Finnish because I prefer the depth of flavor you get with the carrots and rutabaga.

Both pasties were perfectly cooked. The flavors were really good. I just wish they offered gravy.

Unlike some pasties we've had, Joe's didn't *need* gravy – it was perfectly moist. I just love gravy ?

Definitely stop at Joe's if you're looking for a great pasty! They're reasonably priced, delicious, and made with grass fed ground beef.”

“HOLY COW!! This bistro is a diamond find in the UP. Situated in Ironwood MI, as the Chef’s “retirement plan. Run by a Master Chef and his delightful wife, who are living their retirement plan. The unbelievably tasty food competes with the likes of Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, or Mudgie’s in Detroit. I had the delicious BLT, which was unlike any other BLT I’ve ever had. It was that great! Thick sliced multigrain bread, filled with thick crispy bacon, tomatoes, greens, and a sauce that was so extremely delicious. Portion: HUGE! I am saving the other half for tomorrow. Spencer got the meatloaf sandwich, which was “the best sandwich I’ve ever had.,”per someone who has sampled some of the best sandwiches in Seattle, Chicago and Detroit. What a gem!! Chef Paul Sardinia is an award winning Master Chef whose culinary style and menu, is something I’d expect to see in NYC, Chicago, or the culinary scene in Detroit. Prices are perfect for the portion and taste. Anyway, the best yummy strong son and I’ve had the pleasure of dining, in a long time.”

“We came up from Wisconsin and I'm so thankful we stopped here. The breakfast skillet was the best skillet I've ever had! The service was great too! Can't wait to stop back in!”

“This is a gem of a place. So authentic. Feels like a step back in time. Their food is delicious- Pasties and baking! The prices are very reasonable. Easy to see why this restaurant has such good reviews.”

“One of the best pizzas in the area!! The crust is perfection and the sausage addicting.”

“better than Starbucks * Professional service. 🥑Fresh breakfast,🥯 sandwiches, 🥪 allergy friendly, gf 🍞options. 🍄 rishi tea 🫖 variety. Seasonal drink menus. 🧋 Chairs are wooden🪑, hard at indoor tables. 🛋️Couch available and loungers.”

“I was able to checkout White Rabbit on a brief stop over in Ironwood.

White Rabbit has a very nice vibe, and atmosphere. Prices are really good - and would make a great date night for anyone in Ironwood.

The Owners (Eric, Lauren, and a few more) all together are wonderful people and friendly to talk to - they have built a really classy place!”

“food was really good. The bartender Darryl handled the (friendly) harassment from my drunk cousin fairly well. cool place to hangout. super chill atmosphere.”

“Stopped in for pizza. It was absolutely fantastic! Crunchy crust with the perfect amount of sauce to topping ratio. Best pizza I've had in years! Their garlic cheese bread was just as good as the pizza! Well worth the 130 mile drive!!”

“AMAZING coffee, pastries and parfaits! Stopped every day of our trip. 10/10 ☕️”

“Excellent food, inviting atmosphere and fun cocktails. We tried the new Jerk Chicken Pizza on special. It was even better than we were hoping for. Very friendly bartender also made our pizza.”

“The staff is so friendly I would like to move to Wakefield so I could eat there more often. The food is good too!!!”

“Great place to have a burger and a beer. The sister of the owner was there and she was just an awesome lady. Unfortunately, we were told that they’re going to be closing in the fall.”

“Amazing food and homemade ice cream!”

“Best Prime Rib i’ve had in the area in a long time! 👍🏻”

“Friday Fish Fry - excellent excellent, great variety of deep fried, grilled or cajun. Fantastic drinks and service. Can’t say enough about Den-O’s.”

“Passing through the area on our way home and stopped here. The young, blonde working on Sat, 11/16 was so kind and helpful. She also made me on of the best spiced chai’s I’ve ever tasted!! If I’m ever in the area again, I would definitely stop in here for coffee. Beats Starbucks any day!”
