Broomstick has the potential to be a very nice restaurant with its location, decor, music and service. However, for anything other than burgers or fries, the chef really doesn’t know what he’s doing.
For example, his idea of a taco is shredded lettuce and sinewy dry shredded chicken. How about some peppers or onions or cilantro or hot sauce or lime juice?
Another example is salad with “grilled chicken”. Again, the chicken is sinewy and dry and the salad was topped with some kind of nasty sweet and sour brown sauce.
Mr. Chef, I realize your restaurant is in a small farming town but you’re charging full price and there are many fine restaurants in the area. You really have no excuse as you have access to the internet and YouTube. You need to do some homework.

The menu has changed a lot since our last visit. The menu on the website is very out of date. They used to have very good burgers here but they are no longer on current menu, neither is the fish and chip which was my personal fav. Wait staff is excellent. Food is very mediocre and choices are limited. Sadly, I do not think we will be back. I included a photo of the current menu
Stopped by for a drink and left with a dinner I'll forget. Strawberry smash drink is amazing. They make their own strawberry infused vodka for this one.
Ordered their beef short rib pizza to-go and the smell on the way home was overwhelming. Such an awesome pizza! And I'm a thin crust kinda girl, this pan pizza was to die for. Wish I lived closer to order this on a weekly basis. Thank you for your wonderful and prompt service, and your delicious drinks and pizza!

Recently visited and was so disappointed in the food quality. I grew up in the area and have always raved about the burgers/food. The service was great however the food left me feeling embarrassed to have recommended like I have to others. We came for burgers and were told that due to recent (last month) storms the hood was not up and running, which we totally understand. 5/9 for us ordered the chicken sandwich which was good. However I couldn’t get over The prices- $11 kids Mac and cheese that was a SIDE portion with no side or drink item; $8 up charge for “truffle” fries- which consisted of normal fries that were undercooked topped with a VERY little sprinkle of cheese and dipping sauce. Hoping some changes are made to rebuild our love for this place.

This place was a gem! Unique and friendly. The hot honey pizza might be one of the best pizzas I have ever had!

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.
Stopped for lunch driving back from Glen Arbor to Traverse City and couldn't have been happier. Terrific service. Great food and prices. Wide variety of beverages. Cheese fries were amazing with big bacon pieces. The pork tacos and Asian chicken salad were delicious.

Went to dinner here because the first appetizer listed was Brussels and bacon, which we had and was just really good. Had the sweet and spicy burger, there are no words to describe the bliss my brain experienced. Fresh cut fries were very good. Wife had the pork tacos which were very tasty. Children split the pulled pork. I tried it and was very impressed. Great beer selection. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome. And then, they were like we have curling. Classes on curling, you have to sign up, so you can't just go curling after dinner. Go to this place!

It was an old school turned restaurant. Our server, Stewart, was great! My family loved the pizza. They offer Curling. Curling is a team sport played on ice where two teams of four players slide heavy, polished granite stones towards a target area. (Thanks Google). We were in the room next to the ice. We were very cold throughout dinner. I imagine it would be nice and cool in the summer!
