“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!!“

“Amazing service and flavors“

“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!“

“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.“
