Restaurants near Leland

“We celebrated our anniversary at The Riverside. Every course was excellent. The onion focaccia, rack of lamb and pistachio olive oil cake were our favorites from the fall menu. Excellent service too! Thank you Ginny.”

“Basically they’ll make you try the entire lineup for free until you buy a bottle.
But honestly bring a truck you’re gonna leave with a LOT of bottles”

“Trish’s Dishes in Leland is absolutely fantastic! The food is fresh, homemade, and full of flavor. You can really tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients. The menu has great variety and every dish I’ve tried has been delicious.

The Turkey Wasabi sandwich is the reason I keep coming back—it’s incredible. The flavors are perfectly balanced and it’s one of the best sandwiches I’ve had.

The service is always friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has that great local feel. If you’re in Leland and looking for amazing food, this spot is a must-try. Highly recommend!”

“Stopped in on Sunday 3/16. Middle of a snow storm but they were open. Guy was working the bar and was pleasant to talk witymh as I enjoyed a pint. He was informed of the industry and welcoming on a crappy day. I look forward to going again.”

“Great food and friendly staff!”

“We stopped in after getting our Christmas tree from Kolariks Christmas tree farm just before noon on a Saturday. Rookie parent move, we had promised our 2.5yr old a sprinkled donut however when we arrived the case had been wiped out by the busy morning rush. The sweet lady working overheard us talking and offered to make our son a fresh sprinkled donut. Her kindness and delicious donut made his day! Also highly recommend the pumpkin cream cheese muffin and lemon poppyseed muffin! Thank you Chimoski Bakery!”

“We stopped in for an after lunch, early dinner. We weren't looking for a spot necessarily but definitely glad we did. Very cozy feel, definitely family friendly.

“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.”

“This is a favorite of ours! Beautiful grounds, great location between Traverse city and Suttons bay, a wonderful suite we stay in that is on the first floor. Also, it's just like home from the demeanor of the Inn Keeper to access to all areas including the library and pub, with plush leather seating and decor reminiscent of a classic fox hunting lodge. Breakfasts are special and delicious. Wine tasting room next door, grapes growing alongside, view of the horse pasture and great walking trails. What more could you want??!”

“We are from out of state and just visited Sonoma and Anderson Valley California wine country last month. Hands down, I would choose those region due to welcoming and educational staff. Their wine was also of the same quality. We went in late fall and the scenery was stunning. Loraine and Phil and Bel Lago could not have been more accommodating and provided much information beyond just their winery. I should note, we visited 10 wineries and this was tops. I will say, we went to one of their sister locations (French Valley) and their level
Of service wasn’t exactly as good.”

“I've been to a lot of breweries but I couldn't wait to leave this one fast enough. The place was very dirty and run down. I'm an outdoor person but I couldn't walk through the joint without nats flying up my nose. There were bags of trash next to our table. The floors were covered in dirt and weeds outside. They obviously take no pride in their bulding and land. The beer was good, but didn't mind the extra protein. I never leave reviews, but I had too. The two stars are for the beer and the pizza looked good. Although there were some definite health code violations with the food. It would take so little to make this place great. Definitely disappointed.”

“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!”

“Truly a special meal. This was BETTER than the photos. Every single thing we ate (baked mozzarella, parfait, salmon Benedict, apple pancake) was so incredibly delicious. Honestly the best meal of the trip. Service was also wonderful. So glad we made the trip out here.”

“Igloos are fun! Good beer and food! Tacos are delicious and the white bean chicken chili is excellent - would love the recipe 😋 Our favorite place to enjoy a good time!”

“So fresh! This is such a hidden gem, the kung pao was amazing. So many veggies, generous portions and the perfect amount of sauce and spice. The satay was delicious and full of delicious fresh herbs. We'll definitely be coming back!”
