17 Best American Restaurants near Leland

“Dinner and service - OUTSTANDING!“

“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“

“To be completely honest and transparent, I really wasn't expecting much when my family and I decided to dine here while staying at the hotel where this place is located.

I was honestly just expecting to pretty much make our rounds dining and munching around town while we were out exploring, and I didn't even think we would need to utilize eating where we were staying. That being said, I am very glad we did.

When you look around the place it's very unassuming, so we were honestly just expecting okay bar food that was edible but nothing to really write home (or a review) about, and at the time that was okay with us because we had been out all day with the kids, and just snagging a meal and then being able to go crash in our room upstairs sounded amazing.
Little did we know that we were in route for some of the most simple, yet absolutely delicious food that we ate during the entirety of our trip.

The staff here is also friendly, professional, efficient, and they do a great job overall. We actually ended up eating here twice during our stay, and I would absolutely advise on getting there as early as possible to when you'd like to eat because depending on the day and time, it gets busy pretty quickly. I didn't really anticipate a bunch of people coming here to eat that weren't staying at the hotel, but it turns out that this is a place that people from all over town come to for drinks/dinner. We found that the later it gets the busier it gets, but they close much earlier than your average bar/restaurant so you probably need to plan accordingly for the best outcome.

If you stop in when it's nice out, I highly recommend sitting outside. It's beautiful and as long as it isn't too hot or too cold, you will absolutely enjoy it.

The food here is just plain good. Nothing is overly complicated or fancy, but everything is done well. The burgers here are fantastic, and I also opted for the smoked wings. Who doesn't love a smoked wing? Smoke 'em if you got 'em, and if you smoke 'em I'll eat 'em. Every. Single. Time.

They also have a fully stocked bar. Beer, Wine, and all the Liquor drinks you drunken heart desires. A lot of them probably pair well with things but I'm a simple man, so an ice cold beer (or three) to wash down my fare tickled my fancy. Pop works too, and they also have that.

In my personal and semi-professional opinion, everything here is very reasonably priced as well. There are other places we visited during our trip where we received considerably less bang for our buck. So while it's certainly not priced like your local Denny's, you're much less likely to spend your evening on the toilet after dining here, and you wallet will only be a little sad.

When all was said and done, I would have eaten here ten more times during our stay if time allowed it, but it didn't so I'll have to settle for stopping in the next time we're in town and staying at the hotel.

Cheers!“

“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.“

“I love there food and I used work there and the coworkers are super friendly“

“Stopped in for a Sunday breakfast while vacationing in northern Michigan at this downtown Sutton's Bay eatery. There was comfortable seating inside and out on the patio. The ambiance was warm, with touches of humor incorporated in the decor (note the framed picture over the fireplace when you visit). We dined in the very relaxing atmosphere filled with quiet recorded jazz and happy patrons' conversations. The service was friendly and excellent. Our breakfasts were delicious! My partner's Eggs Benedict disappeared as did my Cherry Cream French Toast with fresh black and red raspberries crowning it off. We will DEFINITELY stop here again! Highly recommend it! Notes: While we did not order drinks aside from coffee, note the drink menu image. And, as we left, we spotted a notice of future live jazz combo appearances.“

“We have a family of 6 who are all awestruck by how good the food is and the service could not have been better or more friendly! We may just come back from downstate for the "Frenchie" and the chicken and chips! Thank you to our new friends at Around the Corner! 🤩“

“The food was delicious“

“Fischer's locally known simply as "Happy Hour" is an absolute gem. Family owned it has an old townie feel to it, nothing fancy but everything works. The service is top notch, and extremely friendly. I love going to Happy Hour because it just feels so cozy, you don't find places like this anymore. Can't recommend it enough!“

“Amazing service and flavors“

“Worth a stop if you’re in Suttons Bay! Wonderful vibes, great food, and good company. They have reorganized their food ordering process so you can order via QR code from the table which was a lot more organized than the last time we visited. Be sure to check out the corn hole in the back corner after you eat!!“

“You know how there’s always that one special place from your travels that holds a lasting, fond memory? For our family, it’s the Little Traverse Inn. We stumbled upon it during a trip to Michigan several years ago, and it ended up being such a memorable stop — a wonderful meal, warm atmosphere, and the kind of place that instantly makes you feel at home. Our kids were little then and had the best time climbing the big tree outside and running around the grounds. It’s a memory we all cherish, and we still talk about it whenever friends or family mention heading to that part of Michigan. We’re hoping to make it back again soon — it will always be a favorite.“

“Food was delish but wait was way too long, we were ready to leave when food showed up.“
