“Cute, clean rustic outdoorsy coffee/sandwich/sweet shop. Very friendly staff, good breakfasts and coffee. The Hershey chocolate cake was so good as was the Apple Pie Slab. The cashier warmed it up for me when I asked. They also have a nice outdoor eating area.“

“The food was amazing! We really enjoyed talking to the owner /chef, all around great experience!“

“I was a little apprehensive that a food truck at a campground would be good. it was amazing! so glad I had it my last night or I would be eating here every night! note: I had the great northern burger.“

“Oaky’s is out of the way near Grawn, but it’s worth the drive. Old timers knew the place as Giovanni’s Roadhouse, then Maddy’s Tavern. Both had ok food in a rustic building. Oaky’s owners have greatly improved the place. It’s large and airy inside, with a long wraparound deck outside. The food is mighty fine: the kitchen did a first-class job with our Smoked Turkey Club and Steak ’n Mushroom soup. The servers know their stuff and are a pleasure to deal with. The prices are a reasonable - indeed, they’re a buck or two lower per item than what you’ll find at competitors. And the parking lot isn’t the potholed monster like it was back in the old days.“

“The food is FABULOUS !!!!!! Drinks are great, wonderful environment and great staff“

“I was really impressed with their huge offering of soups. I had their goulash and it was delicious! I brought home some beer cheese soup that was also delicious. I was with a large group and our service was really good. I only wish I lived closer so I could eat there more often!“

“Slabtown is one of our must go to stops,everytime we are in TC..the staff are best I've seen ..quality of food top notch ..hot fast ..filling.. no better burger In TC..WISH I HAD A SLABTOWN BY ME...LOL“

“Drinks and food were pricey ($36 after tip for a side Caesar salad and truffle fries), but expected due to this being a rooftop bar. A little confusing on how to order food. We snagged a table and waited for someone to come by, only to realize you have to get up and order at a kiosk. Drinks were good.“

“I ordered a burger and ribs on door dash. My food arrived hot, well made and packaged, and most importantly, it was delicious. I don't often take time out to write a review here, but I felt the back of the house, front of the house, and the dasher all exceeded my expectations! Thanks to all of you for a wonderful dinner and an amazing experience!“

“Awesome people and vibes!! Inclusive and friendly, food is great and there are delicious healthy options as well. Beers are local and on point. We are regulars now - the Bamber beer is great. Pricing is very fair and portions are substantial.“

“My Mom had the chili & black bean burger. She loved both! I had the French dip and I was great- the chips seemed homemade. A very quaint space too, but small so while we only waited about ten minutes, I would recommend reservations. Though there is plenty of shopping to keep you busy should you need to wait longer.“

“Wonderful place to take the family and great food“

“I love big boy I love eating there. They have the best food every“

“I stopped in for breakfast this past Saturday, May 18 and was so impressed with my server Nikki and the terrific Popeye omelet and cherry pancakes, I came back Sunday morning May 19 and had an equally terrific experience, courtesy of Rae, who served me an equally tasty Albuquerque omelet. Both Nikki and Rae were positive, professional, prompt and refreshingly upbeat. In an economy that is all too often focused on commodities, the service your team provided made the food, that much better. I'll definitely be back, the next time I'm in Traverse City and of course, recommend the Flap Jack Shack to people who are traveling there. Please pass my appreciation on to Nikki and Rae, as well as their manager, who has obviously been instrumental in creating a service-first team! ps. I asked Nikki for some chocolate syrup for my Cherry Pancakes and she cheerfully obliged. You should put it on the menu, it's the bomb!“

“I went on Facebook looking for the Best Nachos around and Bree said to come here! she did not disappoint! best Nachos Around!“

“everything exelent to me and wife, lobster and clam chowder soup roles , coffee“

“Best burger and fries in Traverse City!“

“This place was great! The bloody mary was delicious. We had the spinach dip with pita chips and tortilla chips. Tasted great. The wedge salad was so good. My husband had the chicken tenders and waffle fries which he thought were delicious. The wait staff were so friendly too. We will definitely be back!“

“Have been buying Asiago Roasted Garlic bread for years. Great Bread toasted loaded with real garlic cloves. However the last loaf lacked any Garlic at all. Very disappointed is this the new norm to be expected or was this an aberration? The latter I would hope otherwise we will be opting for a new bakery. Have a nice day ?☀️“

“Best olive burger in Traverse City. The burger was cooked perfectly and fries were delicious. This is a one of those classic, local places that become rarer as the years go by. The staff were always nearby and asking how things were going. I'm not a regular, but enjoyed the banter between the regulars and staff.“

“Delicious calamari !! The best I have ever had ! Great service provided Comfortable chairs and atmosphere we love the fires burning outside on the patio Nice date night dinner with my husband“

“excellent pizza 🍕 great grinders! love the food 😋“

“Haven’t been in to Buckley bar in some time now, decided to brave my three small kiddos solo and get a quick bite to eat. Great service, great staff and Robin took it an extra mile and even carried all of our leftovers out to the car for us. Grateful to have such awesome people in this little town! You rock Robin 🤘“

“Food is pretty good but nothing special. It was convenient as I was staying at Hotel Indigo and it’s right in the lobby. The bar had a nice selection of drink options which was great.

Dennis the manager was spectacular.“

“The homemade ranch is amazing! The Cali club was great also. Fries are average, ghost pepper curds are good. Daughter had the pork belly special and it was really overcooked, and son didn’t really care for the chicken tenders. Overall “decent” food, but with a lot of choices, may not return.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“I almost didn't come here due to the rating and reviews... maybe I just came on an off day, but my fam and I had a nice dinner here. Food was priced fine, we were seated immediately (630 on a Friday, fam of 4).

May was our server and she was awesome. Food was pretty solid as well (I had prime rib). My wife had pasta which she seemed to like. Our kids were hopped up on sugar so who knows.

Either way, management needs to focus on rebuilding their trust (encouraging people to leave reviews more) because while some of these reviews are recent, many seem to be from a time of when it was really bad I guess.“

“Date: Wednesday, Feb. 26, 2025.

We went to dinner at North Peak.
The pork chop with cherry sauce on top was scrumptious.
My wife had the delicious crusted chicken sandwich.
Our kids were happy as pie with their pizza and burger.
Our server Jack is a seasoned pro who was kind and attentive.

Nice Job North Peak! What a great place.

“Cool atmosphere and good service - always for me.“

“Edited: The management reached out to me and generated a refund to cover the cost of the additional charges. Appreciate them going out of their way to make this right.

Went here for trivia night, two individuals at our table ordered red wine. The house Cab over the Merlot. Come to find out the server gave us the $17/glass cab instead of the house cab, admitted the mistake but wouldn’t refund us the price difference. Do not go here unless you want to run the risk of being overcharged and paying for their mistake.“

“Best bartenders! I love this place!“
