Tamarack Inn Restaurant

Was in here on 10/11/2025 there is a wait, unfortunately there is only one waitress. But let me tell you this, she is amazing! Shes got a system and it works! Just wait and you wont be disappointed! Shes stern but needs to be, but dont let that throw you off, because once your seated she is like grandma! But she's busy taking care of everyone and she does it well! It was cash only on that day, not sure if this is a regular thing but be prepared and bring enough cash when you come to the UP! You'll thank me later. Food was definitely delicious 😋 and the wait wasnt long at all, she made sure to come around and check on us, food is a little pricey but what do you expect for being at the tail end of civilization way up here! Again food was amazing and the waitress was amazing aswell!

Very confusing and disappointing experience. Google says open until 3pm, so we tried to go, and the doors are locked at 11:27am. Multiple occupied tables are visible from the door, so we aren't sure why the doors were locked. Please update hours on Google. Now driving nearly an hour for breakfast.

Ate breakfast here twice during our stay in Copper Harbor and everything tasted great. Menu was minimal but everything we wanted in a breakfast- eggs, toast, pancakes- blueberry & plain, omelettes, bacon, sausage links, hash browns, coffee, hot chocolate, juice. They could have used some more staff but the one hostess/waitress did a great job keeping up. Good value. Would eat here again.

Very minimal menu. They only had one server she did a great job she was very friendly. She was very organized and got everyone served in the order they were seated. I got the biscuits and gravy I wasn't impressed it was can gravy. Tasted more like milk gravy.

Had a great traditional breakfast here more than once and it was very delicious. Served made sure we had everything we wanted.

Hands down the best BLT I’ve ever had at a restaurant. We were told that we would have to wait when we walked in, which I appreciated but the wait wasn’t that long.

Atmosphere was okay, food was decent not amazing and service was good. Pricey for 2 to eat breakfast and drink water. $45 + tax… but we didn’t have a lot of choices since not a lot of businesses open for breakfast. But it was collocated very easily close to the cabin we stayed at in Cooper Harbor.

Serving breakfast from 8am to 11:30.

I ordered the Western Omlet with a side of hashbrowns and we shared a blueberry pancake. Everything was delicious. It wasn't very busy, but we were still impressed with how fast the food came out.

Let me say this in ALL Seriousness. I have driven 9 hours to go to this restaurant for THE HASHBROWNS. Perfect, PERFECT hashbrowns. Seriously. Never better anywhere. Not homemade, not made by grandma. These are THE BEST.. Oh by the way, every other thing I've ever had here, from French fries to lake perch to eggs and biscuits & gravy, are all AMAZING. I've been twice now (three times if you count going in for breakfast and then again for lunch) Planning my third trip up to dine here in August. I have to say this is the best hidden gem I've ever found. And I've raved about a few. Hands down. Worth the trip. Great service, great ambiance. It's not fancy or pricy, it's up north relaxed and casual. And positively the very best. Do not miss it.

Great diner. Food was excellent. Honestly it was the beast sausage I’ve had anywhere in the UP so far. I had a basic breakfast that wa cooked perfectly. The staff was very nice, fast and descriptive. They were great. Ty guys. 👍✌️

Greeted with a smile, even though I didn't pay attention and walked in 10 minutes before they closed!

Great restaurant with quality food! I had the Brisket and everything was tender and flavored so well! Wasn't sure what to expect, it's easy to find bad BBQ, but this one surprised me!

My group of two adults and three teens stopped in for a perfect breakfast the morning after returning to the mainland from Isle Royale. Service was friendly and efficient. The food was perfectly prepared, with three of us having fried eggs done three different ways. Best of all, it was really fast. The restaurant was not full when we arrived, and we were in and out in less than 45 minutes. We began our long drive home with happy, full stomachs.

We had omelets, hashbrowns, sausage and eggs! Service was fast and friendly. The food was tasty. Thank you!

We had breakfast, it was great and service was quick and friendly. They had reduced hours as it was the end of the season, they were only open for breakfast. We were greatful as there wasn't much else open for breakfast in town.
