18 Best American Restaurants near Leland

“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“

“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.“

“Welcome back! One of Leelanau counties favorite. Great drinks, service, and food!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed this little spot overlooking historic Fish Town and the water. You could seat yourself and because it was a colder than normal summer day, we had the seafood chowder which was out of this world! Just a cute, simple, easy, historical spot to stop.“

“There are bartenders and there are bartenders like Luke Wiesen! Luke won’t be just be your bartender, he’ll become your friend and then family!
Bogey’s has not only a great bar, but amazing food and waitstaff too. Say ‘hi’ to Violetta, she is one of the amazing waitresses.
Sooo much seating and the views from the deck are incredible!
I definitely recommend the dry rub bbq wings and I’m told the carrot cake is out of this world!“

“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.“

“Great food at a great location!“

“Came in for dinner and really enjoyed the warm, classic tavern environment. The servers are wonderfully welcoming, and listening to stories from the locals at the bar is easily the best part of being here.

As for the meal, the food was alright—perfectly fine tavern fare, though the prices feel a bit steep for what you get. You're definitely paying a bit of a premium for the location, but the cozy vibe, friendly service, and local charm make it a fun spot to sit down, grab a drink, and catch up.“

“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“

“Amazing service and flavors“

“Hop Lot is one of my favorite breweries that I have been to! I live in mid Michigan and try to make it there at least once a year.
Their beer garden is just beautiful! If it is warm out, they have tables with umbrellas and if it is colder out, they have fire pits, which are perfect to sit by to warm up and eat or drink by!
Their beer is awesome and the food is great too!
If you have not been here, you definitely need to go at least once!“

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

“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.“

“Great food and service! Sheila was fantastic!“

“Such a fun place! I love their cocktails and that we can get cocktails to go while strolling around the Village. Such a fun place. Love it.“

“Great food but gets extremely busy and backed up apparently and they don’t seem to handle that well. I called in a takeout order and was given an estimate of 1 hour, was then called back and told it would actually be 1 hour and 40 minutes. Then when i showed up at that time i still had to wait 15 minutes longer.“

“Great Staff , Fun Locals and Amazing Food make for a Great time. Everytime !!!“
