18 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Lake Leelanau

“This restaurant is the best. Everyone has a great attitude, the restaurant is well organized and the food delicious.“

“We came for lunch and ordered the smokehouse burger and French dip. Both were very delicious and exceeded my expectations. Everything was very fresh and tasted made from scratch. Even the rolls were very good. I can't wait to eat here again.“

“Totally old school rustic atmosphere. Family owned for decades. Very pleasant staff. Probably my top 3 favorite Burgers of my life! I mean that Burger was amazing! Man, I can't wait to return next year as we only visit the area annually. Fries were great, Clams were the best I'd ever had, even better than fresh ones on the actual east coast.
Strawberry pie is an absolute must! It's usually sold out, and every person that came in (mostly locals) asked for it. I'm a retired barmaid and this place has a hospitality workers dream hours. If I owned a bar, this would be my kinda place.
Also, the CLEANEST bar I've ever seen, besides one I worked at years ago. As a person obsessed with cleanliness, this place was amazing! From the bathroom floors to the condiments tray, this place was spotless. It's gets very busy, so go after 2 and before 4.
LOVE FISCHERS!!“

“Green Bird is a little slice of Heaven! They even practice sustainable farming via their “flerd“ (flock of chickens and herd of sheep) who rotate through each row of vines. I sat down and immediately signed up for the wine club because I knew this was something I wanted to support! And yes, the server was new this season but very knowledgeable and warm. No high-brow wine snobbery here! P.S. wine and cheese pairings are fantastic.“

“The waitress Julie, gave us phenomenal service. She was upbeat and so pleasant! The 3 other women that I was with, agree that we all had an unforgettable dining experience. The food was awesome as well! We were fascinated by the drink pictured and all of us kissed the fish for luck, then ate it, too“

“Our tacos were incredible. Quite possibly the best I've ever eaten. The owners are friendly, efficient, and have created a great little spot for some amazing food. If you see this on your way, stop in, if you have to drive miles out of your way, stop in. It will be completely worth it!!“

“great food and service, fast and easy.“

“Party of four had dinner there on July 4, 2025. Food was good, but not as advertised on the menu. The apple salad was small and did not have candied walnuts on it and the nachos had no cheese on them. The 1/2 ribs that my husband ordered were tasty, but we ended up ordering cheesy fries after our meals because we were still hungry. The ribs came with coleslaw and nothing else.The server was friendly and efficient.“

“Amazing service and flavors“

“We are locals and frequent Hawkin’s Farm Cellars a lot. The service is friendly and the Thai food is exceptional. My husband especially loves the Pad Thai chicken and I am a huge fan of the Green Curry dish. You could literally close your eyes and just point to anything on the menu and never be disappointed!“

“I've been wanting to go there for years, and it sure didn't disappoint. Such a great spot. I went there during off-hours on a Sunday, and it was still fun.

I want to go back and check out some live music sometime“

“Good, drinks, and service are excellent. Great local addition!“

“We had the most amazing experience at Black Star Farms for our August wedding. The venue is absolutely beautiful, from the vineyard views to the charming barn reception space, and it made the perfect backdrop for our day.

The staff truly made the experience exceptional. Daniel and Megan were wonderful to work with throughout the planning process and helped us customize every detail so our wedding felt uniquely ours. Chef Leah prepared an incredible meal that our guests are still talking about, and Sarah and David made our stay at the Inn so warm and welcoming throughout the weekend.

Staying on property at the Inn made the entire experience even more special. It allowed us to fully enjoy the weekend with our family and friends, and the hospitality was second to none.

Every member of the team was kind, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our wedding special. While the barn got a little warm during the reception, it was a minor detail in what was otherwise a perfect experience.

We couldn't imagine a better place to celebrate with our family and friends and would highly recommend Black Star Farms to any couple looking for a Northern Michigan wedding venue.“
