16 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Elk Rapids

“Shannon, Tyler, and Nick are class acts. True artists that really know what they’re doing and will leave you speechless and broke if you’re not careful. Can’t help but return every time while “up north.” They’re that great and that consistent. GO HERE if in need of indulgent libations. I would be shocked if you were disappointed.
P.S. Leave with some coffee if you’re a die hard fan.“

“Awesome brews and crew. Osario's and Flannigan's Goat serve up some very tasty food. Great indoor/ outdoor venue. Summertime music is great too. The customers are friendly and fun. I highly recommend both of Short's facilities. So thankful that we have this in Elk Rapids.“

“Went in today for the 1st time, service was very friendly & helpful 🤩. Fantastic Pizza, will be back again! Thank you.“

“I call Pearl’s the Portal to New Orleans!💜💚💛 I’ve been around the globe, and this was the best meal of my life from start to finish! Between four of us we had the swordfish special, crawfish étouffée, shrimp and grits, chicken Alfredo, cobbler, and bananas foster. Every bite was better than the one before - we all agreed! I’m from the south, so to find this NOLA gem in northern Michigan was nothing short of magical!!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“If you happen to be around Bellaire, please stop and check out our newest addiction, Aiko Street Food!

Everything we tried so far has been awesome!!!“

“Always a favorite spot! The cider is fantastic!“

“Absolutely love this place!“

“GREAT gin and tonic. I have to visit every time I am in the OMB area. This last time the new (to me) bartender was great - super friendly, good sense of humor, very helpful. He made sitting at the bar a fun experience! I hope he is there the next time we visit.“

“Beautiful winery, amazing service, and a beautiful view!“

“Went into Stone Hound Brewery for the first time. I have to say and keep in mind I don’t talk much or spread my thought process often. So moving on. I had the nachos and the chicken sandwich. If ur in the area and can support a locally owned business. By far this is one I would recommend. Kudos to stone hound for the fantastic food and beer. Awesome!! If you are apprehensive about trying a vegan option….don’t be….this place is awesome!“

“Our love story started here on Old Mission Peninsula in 2020. Little did I know that 5 years later, I would also marry my husband here. Bonobo holds a very special place in our hearts and is one of our favorite vineyards that we visit each time we come to Northern Michigan. We are also wine club members here because their wine is our favorite!

We made sure to stop here on my bachelorette party in June. All my bridesmaids understood my love for Bonobo!

It only made sense that 2 days before our wedding in August we would host a private family dinner here too in The Library Room. The food and service was incredible - the attention to detail throughout planning the decor, the menu, and the wine selections! Couldn’t have asked for a better night.

Then the night before the wedding, my husband and I decided to make one last stop at Bonobo after our rehearsal dinner which was further down the peninsula - our last drink before becoming husband and wife. Our photographer of course came along and got some of my favorite pictures of the whole weekend here!

Then on Saturday, our ceremony was at St Joseph Catholic Church (right next door from Bonobo). Many guests had a glass of wine after the ceremony at Bonobo and enjoyed the views of the vineyards and the bay before our cocktail hour + reception at Delamar.

Bonobo, you’ll always be a very special place to us. Cheers to our love aging like fine wine!“

“I loved everything about this restaurant except the price. That being said, you get what you pay for. 2 very tasty beers, and 2 huge plates of crispy fish & chips for my girlfriend and I with some whitefish dip as a starter set us back about $100. The drive there is part of the experience so dont forget to look around and imagine the life you'll never have owning or working at any of the hundred vinyards. The service was stellar, for our large group + 1 baby we felt well looked after. The beer was delicious, but if I knew it was $10 for 1 glass and roughly $25 for a growler, id have brought my own cup. If I'm back in Traverse City, Ill definitely go back for the fish and chips and a growler of beer.“

“Would I recommend? Hmm. Our server was great ( I wish I got her name) but she was overwhelmed and they were under staffed. The food? Not great. Everything was overdone. The cornbread was dry. I ordered the seared tune salad and the tuna was more medium well. The music could have been a little more upbeat for a weekend. While we all ( a party of 6) ate our food, it wasn’t the greatest. It may have just been an off night, every restaurant has some. I felt bad for our server. She was such a sweetheart. She can’t control the cooking staff or management. Management needs to learn that they need to take better care of their staff to make sure that patrons experience is above satisfied. Will I come back? Maybe. But it might be a long while? Will I recommend? If someone asks me about I will be honest. Will I come out and say you have to go there? No. But I won’t discourage anyone from trying it.“

“I like this winery because the staff pays 0 attention to you, which is a great thing in my opinion! You can wander around and do whatever you want. Lots of seats outdoors. I was able to see the grapes still on the vine. I had a riesling, very good. Not bad prices for a flight. around 20 bucks for 2 people.“
