It is in your best interest to drive from wherever you live in the state of Michigan or beyond and make your way to this establishment they are not lying about the cheeseburgers, I doubted it, and they proved me wrong! Fantastic establishment
Great friendly service; serving the impossible burger and salads; good beer selection. (2026 update) Joe's no longer serves any type of veggie burger; VERY SAD:(
We used to come for the veggie burgers. Now nothing special to come for.

After visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes. We were looking for a place to eat, stumbled across Joes Friendly Tavern. The homemade Pretzel bread with garlic butter was awesome. Our burgers which are made from locally sourced beef were amazing. Topped it off with a Draft Root Beer!! Service was excellent, prices were fair. Definitely will be back!!
