13 Best American Restaurants in Harbor Springs

“Celebrated an anniversary with reservations and mentioned at hostess stand, not to expect anything more than a congratulations. The more senior hostess didn't react, no even with a smile. She took it further by walking by our table often and obvious with the intention of getting it cleared. I know this because she even asked our waiter and even sent the young hostess to clear when we haven't finished out main entree and were planning on ordering dessert! There was no wait at the at stand during her push to clear. Our meal and waiter were great, he mentioned the salads we ordered were delayed and we did not feel pushed by him. We were in and out in under two hours, delay was the kitchen, not us. Have to say the hostess set the tone for our experience. And the weird thing was our table view was of her smiling and interacting with other patrons (maybe regulars?). Not sure if she had a bad day, but perhaps not, based on past review.“

“Extraordinary service! From beginning to end, top to bottom! Everyone here seems very willing to help and shows exceptional customer service! This is a must stay! Best experience ever! Honestly magical. The food is top notch and worth what ever price they pick! The brisket is a must have! I’m getting it every day I’m her for lunch and dinner!“

“Excellent dinner. Live music, great ambiance, and really beautiful setting.“

“Sorry to see that this place is for sale and no longer offering food. They used to have the best Detroit style square pizza we have found in the Petoskey-Harbor Springs area. We have no idea where their cook might have gone to, and we haven't found a substitute closer than Traverse City.“

“Friendly and attentive staff. Fast service and most importantly..... Great food My daughter said: “10 out of 10 - I would come here again!”“

“100% worth going to. highly recommend!“

“I couldn’t hope for a better staff and the food was 10 out of 10!!!!! Sooo good!! We will be back!“

“Food was excellent, mimosas fabulous and Milo was a fantastic server!!!“

“We love every meal and the service is so friendly. When we go, which is regularly, we have a hard time choosing as we love every item on the menu.“

“Coming from a Major Food Snob- Teddy Griffin’s is 5 Stars!!! Ive been looking for good food in Indian River, Cheboygan and surrounding areas all Summer. I finally had a meal I LOVED and Raved about. We started with Lamb Lollipops- Yum! The Chicken Picatta is packed with flavor and just so darn good. Pecan Crusted Whitefish was another excellent choice and we followed it with a slice of Carrot Cake. Compliments to the Chef! We will be back!!“

“Okay, first time here. Restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere and the wait staff seems very friendly and helpful. Ordered the spinach and artichoke dip which was very tasty and the seafood Chowder was amazing. But the Walleye was tasteless. If it wasn't for the mashed potatoes and carrots you wouldn't know it was there. Daughter ordered Lobster Carbonara and it was almost tasteless and lobster was over cooked and a bit rubbery. Chef in my opinion needs to taste his creations before sending them out of the kitchen. Also please change the music, fine dining and 70s Disco/ Rock & Roll do not pair well.“

“This is a really nice place to have a meal with friends and family! We were camping @ Petoskey State Park and enjoyed our meal with friends! Generous portions that were tasty! Prices could be $5 less on all entrees. Live entertainment, plus putt putt golf makes for a fun time!“

“My husband and I, along with our three children, ate dinner outside here before playing Doon Brae. We had a wonderful experience. The food was awesome, the setting was beautiful and the service was perfect! Chris made our experience. He went above and beyond! We will be back!“
