8 Best American Restaurants near Glen Arbor

“The atmosphere was just perfect for a cute little local breakfast spot. Walking up to door, outdoor seating area was inviting but we chose inside anyways. Looks smaller from outside but once in, actually cozy big dining area.Service was great, food delicious ( had to try to sour dough bread and mouthwatering coffee cake) which both were above our expectations. We'd definitely be back if in area again.“

“We are local and go almost weekly to The Public House. I have severe gluten issues and they are so careful with my food. They have a dedicated frier for their fries and are open with me about what could be cross contaminated. My food is always fresh and well made. The employees are incredibly kind, professional, and efficient. They help make the visit even better. Shout out to Bridget! She’s just the best. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in Glen Arbor.“

“You know how there’s always that one special place from your travels that holds a lasting, fond memory? For our family, it’s the Little Traverse Inn. We stumbled upon it during a trip to Michigan several years ago, and it ended up being such a memorable stop — a wonderful meal, warm atmosphere, and the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. Our kids were little then and had the best time climbing the big tree outside and running around the grounds. It’s a memory we all cherish, and we still talk about it whenever friends or family mention heading to that part of Michigan. We’re hoping to make it back again soon — it will always be a favorite.“

“Dang good food! And a space that is exactly like their name Friendly Tavern!“
