“The food was actually so amazing, me and my mom went here and the stuffed mushrooms are THE BEST. My mom loves onion rings as well and those were phenomenal. The pizza looked and tasted absolutely delicious. The service was awesome, the person we spoke to on the phone was so kind and honestly a great guy in general. Thanks Jeremy!“
“Called for take out, spoke with one of the most polite persons, who took my order, then the cook called to apologize for a menu change.The food was amazing, the staff was super gracious and freidnly.I'd give em a 10 star review if I could.“
“This place is just cool! The atmosphere is fun, the service is great, and the food is good! I like to grab the Cajun Catfish to-go on nights when I don’t feel like cooking and it’s delicious! Even the coleslaw is good! Definitely give this local favorite a try!“
“We came here for a quick breakfast. We had three orders of two eggs, protein and a bread. I had an over easy, bacon and rye bread. My wife had scrambled, bacon and cinnamon swirl. My daughter had scrambled, croissant and bacon. We also had an order of French toast for my other daughter and her fiancé. Overall the food was good. We had to wait a bit but was expected due to the time of day. The ambiance of the location was great. We would come back again to this location“
“Was in traverse city for a weekend getaway with my wife. After the disappointment of a steakhouse the night before i waa guided to SLABTOWN by the locals and let me begin...lol This place has one of the best burgers ive ever tasted ( the bohemian to be exact). Expectations were smashed WAY BETTER THEN EXPECTED. This is a must try if anywhere within a hour drive. ITS THAT GOOD! onion rings and frys were also great and the ranch was a perfect sauce. Look forward to my next trip up“
“Wonderful food and service. Lovely meal, of walleye, a mushroom pastry and smoked carrots. All were wonderful. This is the sort of place to go for the daring choice that wild option because it will be a delightful new experience.Vegetarian options: Wonderful mushroom pastry and smoked carrotsParking: Just behind on the side street.“
“Amazing burgers and fries. I had the Hula slider and it was absolutely amazing. I am always skeptical about pineapple on a burger and saturating the bun. This was perfect and absolutely delicious. I'm still dreaming out about it a few days later!“

“Can be difficult to get a table (especially during the weekend) as a walk up but they do have reservations on line! Food is good, service can be slow if it’s busy but that can be expected. Interesting experience eating inside but in the hallway roped off from walking path. Makes for fun people watching!Parking can be pretty difficult on the weekend so make sure to leave plenty of time for that!“

“The Asian Wrap is my favorite product of theirs. Fantastic spinach tortilla and great balance of flavors. Ask them for the soy glaze when ordering! Everything is so fresh and they don't cut corners like other places downtown. Keep up the good work!“

“Visited for the first time during Restaurant Week and had an amazing experience. Our waiter Jim was very charming and attentive, making my friend and I feel very relaxed and welcome as each course was served. I chose to add the optional wine pairing and my friend enjoyed their Lady Lavender cocktail which I tried a little sample of. Our drinks were delicious, the wines complementing each dish perfectly. We learned Jim is also the sommelier and curated the wine selections for the menu. He definitely did an excellent job. I started the meal with the Octopus that was cooked perfectly, very tender which can be tricky. She had the Lamb Arancini and joked it would difficult to eat regular meatballs again. We both had the Morel Bisque and raved about the creaminess and how flavorful it was. Entree for me was the Scallops, again cooked perfectly and the Lobster Risotto was amazing. I savored every bite, wishing I could have another serving of the risotto. She tried the Veal Osso Bucco and commented how it was the best way to try a dish for the first time. She even had a bonus taste of bone marrow. The only miss in our main dishes was the Blue Cheese Polenta. Her Lemon Blueberry Butter Cake and my Creme Brulee were the perfect ending to our experience, both just enough to satisfy our sweet tooth. We both plan to visit again and try their regular menu and will be recommending our friends give this gem a try.“
“I stopped at this place on my way to Traverse City, and it was DELICIOUS! I got the big breakfast. Everything was perfect! The eggs were so hot and good, the bacon was crispy (my fault I forgot to ask it to be made soft, floppy), and I was surprised how the hashbrowns actually tasted like potato. I thought all hashrowns were like at Denny's (tasteless). But the best of all were the:Sausage links. OMG so good and SO HOT! At most places they are lukewarm, but here they were so hot and tasted so good. I swear the last time I had such good and HOT sausage links were when my class and a bunch of classes from a bunch of schools went to a place called Mystic Lake Camp. I've always remembered how good and HOT their breakfasts were even when serving hundreds of students and dozens of teachers.“
“Service and food are great. Lobster soup is delicious. Tarter sauce has that extra zing to it, plenty to dip your fries in if you don't slather your fish in it. And please, use the lemon wedge, makes a world of difference on your fish.Dietary restrictions: Only seafood served is the lobster soup, if you have a shellfish allergy, no need to worry, none getting dropped in their fryers.Parking: Depending on the day/time, you may have a hard time with parking.“
“Food was good. Euro sandwich was good. Tomato bisque was not up to par. Good selection of beers on tap. Staff was friendly and prompt. Atmosphere was nice but dang is there a discount for bringing kids?!? Seriously there were lots of families with small children. I love kids but unexpected to see at a bar. I would go back for the beer.“
“Group of 5 from Georgia. Traveling back to Traverse City. We stopped for lunch and we were greeted and welcomed as if they knew us. Staff was extremely pleasant. Food was extremely delicious. We were introduced to the owners, who were also very nice and welcoming. The entire experience was so good, we considered making the drive back a few times just to eat again.“
“Kind of a dive place but SUUUUPER fun and GREAT food. Our server Julie was hopping all over the place and kept us informed of when our order would be ready (they were really busy).My husband had the Bo Rito and LOVED it, I had the Thai salad with chicken and it was delicious! The chicken was cooked PERFECTLY. Not at all dry! The salad dressing was amazing. Seriously, I could eat this everyday. I had my first whiskey sour here and it was wonderful. Just wish they had a hot buttered rum. No one makes them anymore!It's quite the local hangout and Julie seemed to know everybody. There is a pool table, a bar you can sit at and restaurant seating for (I'm guessing) 50ish people.On Saturday mornings they play classic cartoons and breakfast is served all day everyday.I can't wait to go back. I only hope Julie is there when I do!“
“Nice, casual relaxing atmosphere. One of our favorite places to have dinner with friends. Food is always good, especially the maple glazed salmon. Good selection of beers. Easy to have a conversation without having to raise your voice. Fairly priced and friendly staff.“
“We went there for my parents anniversary and the waiter was very nice and buy my parents slice of peanut butter pie for their anniversary. I recommend there seafood linguini Alfredo sauce is was homemade and I say that’s the best Alfredo sauce from anywhere in Michigan from a restaurantParking: Good parkingKid-friendliness: There very own plastic glass“
“I got the cinnamon rolls, the coffee cake, and brownie truffles. My palate loved every single one of these desserts. They were a perfect blend of sweet, and gooey. I felt each item made a statement that showed careful consideration that went into baking them. There are so many options at Bay Bread, I can't wait to go back and see what else Team Bay Bread has.“
“Lake Ann is so fortunate to have this little gem in their village. Don't let the small size fool you. Good selection on the menu, fairly priced, just right portions and.......good food. Can dine in or you can order take out, sit at the brewpub next door and enjoy a cold brew while your order is prepared.“
“We visited Sleder's for dinner on a Friday night. We atarted with a bowl of clam chowder. For our entrees my wife got the smelt dinner and I got the cod dinner. Our kids got burgers. The food was solid. The chowder was flavorful and it was easy to tell that it was made in house. The fish was tasty and fried well. The fries were a little under crisp and under seasoned for our liking, but I've definitely had worse. To be honest I didn't eat many of my fries as I was trying to make the most of the Friday "all you can eat" fish fry, and focused on my fish.It was a really cool place that was clearly a favorite of locals, and the solid food and friendly service coupled with the fun and quirky decor makes it easy to see how this place has been around for 140 years.“
“Very busy!! Good food overall. The wait time was reasonable, about 30 minutes. The waiter seemed to not remember order (food wasn't cooked exactly like ordered) or simple things like a straw for drinks of two take out containers (brought one)Parking: Lots of parking in front and back of restaurant.Kid-friendliness: They didn't offer anything to help entertain the kids while waiting, no coloring things or little picture books.“
“We love to go to Bootleggers for all you can eat fish and chips on Fridays, they have super delish perch and fries. But the best part is having Juan as our server! He is so awesome. Friendly, efficient, helpful, he literally anticipates everything, including extra tartar sauce in your to-go box. The perch is great, the service is excellent, and it's an older crowd for the all you can eat fish until 9pm-ish. Highly recommend. And say hi to wonderful Juan with the great smile for us!“
“Had a great experience here last night. Food was good, view is great, and Dennis and the 2 ladies helping him behind the bar were super friendly and helpful. I had a gift certificate that I didn't know how to apply as payment when ordering from my phone, and Dennis had never seen that type of gift certificate either, but he didn't skip a beat. He smiled, wrote down the order for me and my wife, gave it to the cooks, then went behind the scenes to get the payment handled while my wife and I enjoyed our drinks and waited for our food. Typically you'd get the "let me ask my manager" response and then sit and wait, but Dennis handled it and was awesome. Many thanks!“
“Stopped in for a frozen custard dessert after dinner. After some confusion during the ordering process that caused a delay in receiving our food, our dessert was excellent. I had the strawberry sundae and my wife had the cherry shake. The staff was great about the delay. We were given two cards for free baskets at our next stop.“
“Went here for a "Date Night" with my wife. Both servers were nice and helpful. I have food issues and they were patient with me and helped me find food I could eat.Vegetarian options: Lots of options.Dietary restrictions: Igave meat allergy, and the staff helped ne figure out what I can eat there.“

“I have to tell you a tail about getting DoorDash and Rebecca made my day today. Wasn’t feeling all that great. Got DoorDash because I was craving Red Lobster. Ordered 2 shrimp, only got 5 instead of the 8. ?. Called Red Lobster. Talked with Rebecca. She was so kind, so professional, so customer focused. Thank you for making me feel great when I felt crummy today. You guys ROCK!!! I will order again and again and visit you multiple times. Love the food. Love the staff there. Now love you guys via DoorDash. Thank you so much. MaryAnne“
“We had an excellent meal - this place never disappoints! It was slammed and we had to wait, but the staff went above and beyond in friendliness, service and making us feel welcomed the entire time there. Love the $5 drink specials - keep 'em coming!“
“We came in as a group of 8 unannounced. The staff accommodated as fast as they could. Laine was our server and she did a wonderful job taking our drink and food order. She always had a smile on her face and had such wonderful personality. We appreciate her so much. She is a great asset to your team.“
“Came here with a party of 11 people and we were sat right away, had beer and apps out within a few minutes and finished dinner an hour after being sat! Everyone LOVED their food and our server Dock was funny and attentive. Literally could not find a better restaurant. 10/10 will definitely be coming back“

Today around 4:30 or 5pm a gentleman took my order my wife picked it up and he tells my wife that her husband is always so nice and polite. I dont know who the man is but thank you that really meant alot to me. He took my order as polite and customer service thats better than anyone at any restaurant around. Again thank you.“
“We loved our meals! The kids actually cleaned their plates completely (chicken tenders and cheeseburger). My husband and I got the Salmon, and it was fantastic. The atmosphere inside was like being outdoors, very cute. We had a very nice server, who kept us well cared for despite being there over spring break week. Thank you!“
“This diner is my jam. It's a diner so the jam is in little plastic thingies. It's a diner! The "hey darlin' lvl is high. Chick fried steak is addicting. They will crisp your browns and put onions in them. The coffee is continuous. The griller is a chill with her show. This isca place for yer 1st job. Thx for doing what you do!“
