I had a great experience at Fitzgerald’s Hotel and Restaurant in the Keweenaw. I had actually seen this place featured in a YouTube video in the past, and while driving by recently, I recognized it, turned around, and decided to stop in. I’m very glad I did. Amy and Evan were outstanding hosts from the moment I walked in. Both are born and raised in the Keweenaw, and it shows in how proud they are of the area and how well they represent their community. Their local knowledge and genuine hospitality really set the tone for the visit. I sampled one of the Michigan craft beers from their well-curated menu of less-typical, off-market brews and was impressed with the selection. I hadn’t planned on eating, but Evan convinced me to try the brisket nachos appetizer — and that was the right call. They were excellent. Beyond the food and drinks, the dining experience itself stands out. The full wall of picture windows overlooking Lake Superior makes this a truly special place to sit, relax, and enjoy a meal. Fitzgerald’s is a real hidden gem in the Keweenaw, and I would absolutely recommend stopping in — whether you’re local or just passing through.

So close to the snowmobiling trails, so worth the stop! Delicious food, kudos to the chef! This is way more than just a line cook 🥘 meal. Atmosphere is scenic overlooking the lake. PS don’t skip dessert 🧁

We had a wonderful dinner with our family here, which is not uncommon for us when we frequent Eagle River. Our server, Joe, was outstanding. We veered away from our typical favorites to try their brisket chili and Jeremy’s lasagna. Neither disappointed. Thanks!

An unforgettable wedding dinner — truly five-star dining
Chef Jeremy created a custom menu for our 21-person wedding that was as good as a Michelin-star restaurant. He kept us updated throughout planning, perfected every dish ahead of time, and was incredibly accommodating with both meat and fish main courses.
Our menu included:
Caprese and antipasto skewers, panzanella salad, lemon-ricotta ravioli with brown butter and sage, veal osso buco with creamy polenta and asparagus, branzino with asparagus, and panna cotta with raspberry topping.
Every course was perfectly executed, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Our guests are still talking about it! Jeremy’s professionalism, creativity, and passion made our wedding meal truly unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Nice cozy place right on the lake. Great views of Lake Superior.
We came here for dinner while on vacation. We were seated right away, we did have a reservation. The staff was amazing, informative and friendly. They go above and beyond to get you information if you have an allergy. The food was amazing!!!! We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 entrees. Everything was rich and cooked to perfection. Also, the atmosphere was amazing. I loved being able to stand out side and see a million stars.

I have always loved this Fitz. It is one of 2 places I eat in the Keweenaw. The staff is incredibly kind & work their tails off to ensure every guest is happy. The food is so good, I dream about it. The pickled vegetables, brisket and Mac and cheese are my favorites. The ribs are so good, I drool ordering them. I also love the atmosphere right on the beach. You can show up dressed up for a special occasion, or relaxed with your friends. I cannot wait for my next meal here. FYI if ordering Togo, you can only order online through the toast app which requires a card and it’s a limited but tasty menu. Keep up the amazing work this season. Looking forward to eating here again.

Been a few years since we've been here. The service was a bit erratic, especially pertaining to the bar. The food was good, but I think it's slipped a bit. I still love it here, but a sense of disappointment lingers.

This is a gem! Amazing barbecue, delicious pickled vegetables and coleslaw. Maybe the best barbecue I’ve had - spare ribs and pulled pork. Great view of Lake Superior
