38 Best American Restaurants near Interlochen

“We stopped here for breakfast after spending a weekend in Traverse City. The food was amazing. We had biscuits and gravy and the breakfast skillet. i highly recommend if you are in the area. We even offered for a young man who was by himself to join us. He was a local who eats there every Saturday and Sunday.“

“Very easy ordering process and pickup of a takeout order. The Bradley’s Mac was exceptional!“

“Great staff and great food! We love their Cajun Catfish and Pizza!“

“Good start to a holiday weekend. Enjoyed the special menu item Thai Red Snapper and fresh asparagus. Very yummy!! Staff went out of their way to keep us informed since they were very busy.“

“Great coffee, especially the "cold brew". Friendly staff and great atmosphere and they take care of the seniors with an early bird discount in the mornings. Highly recommended“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“my friends and family love Mulligans thanks for the consistent quality!“

“Sleder’s went out of their way to accommodate our large party. Food was delicious and delivered quite quickly!!“

“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!“

“We had breakfast today - generous portions, delicious food, pastries and coffee. Patty was super friendly and attentive.“

“The food and views were great. We believe the fries were done in duck fat which lended a splendid flavor. Fish and chips tasted great. The rooftop sunset views were wonderful. A rating of 4 only for the fact that you order at the register and then drinks are ordered at the bar which is slightly cumbersome, it works just fine as long as you aren't in the mood for a full service place.“

“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“

“This is the cleanest, nicest Applebee's ever. Staff helped me get settled cuz I needed a wall outlet for my oxygen machine with dead batteries. Then they fixed up a burger with cheese for my service dog. Super staff, manager to hostess and server.“

“Great , quick meal. Very pleasant 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“

“The best chicken soup you can get in TC!!!!“

“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!“

“It’s worth your salt to try Identity Brewing. Your first impulse may be to say “What’s up with the biscuit sandwiches?” Biscuits is a clever choice. They taste good. And they maintain their structural integrity when stacked with cuban, club, veggie, and chicken fixins’. That’s as opposed to, say, the buns used by Traverse City hot dog joints, which fall apart before they’re half eaten. Try the Chicken Cordon Bleu biscuit sandwich. Pair it with a pint of Strait Up if you like an IPA, or Amanda’s Folly if you prefer a soft blonde ale. And if you visit Identity between the rushes, chat with the staff. They’re good eggs. The guy we talked with has some of the best body art I’ve seen since the Navy. The gal will tell you she’s got a tat, too. Fair warning: she doesn’t. She gets tickled when she tells men she has a tattoo, then sees their eyes roam across her neck, hands, and ankles looking for it.“

“Best burger and fries in Traverse City!“

“The best walleye anywhere in Michigan! Go on a Friday and order the walleye!“

“We enjoyed breakfast yesterday and wanted to give a big shout out to Rae!! She was super cool, and she did a great job on a busy Saturday morning!“

“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 ?☀️“

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

“We wanted to leave a review thanking the bartender with the glasses, who controlled the music. We didn’t catch his name, but his service was above and beyond. He consistently made sure we were comfortable with the men who sat down next to us at the bar, which may not sound like the biggest deal, but as women it’s a luxury to be able to enjoy ourselves while knowing there was someone looking out for us. To that bartender, thank you for being the kind of man women can feel safe around. And you have GREAT taste in music and make a mean vodka soda.“

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

“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 🤘“

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

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Food was the best! Those burgers and fish and chips 😋 Sam has only worked there for two weeks but her service was superb! Highly recommend this gem. Oh and they have a fantastic Military discount ❤️🤍💙“

“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.

Garrett“

“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.“

“Came here for our Bachelor/ette party over labor day weekend and had a riot! The music was awesome, dance floor was great, food and drinks were phenomenal and their ranch is out of this world!! We had such a great time!! Highly recommended! 👏“

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly“
