Around the Corner Food and Fun

Neat little spot… my wife had the fish sandwich and I enjoyed a cheddar burger. I was really impressed with the quality of the veggies on my burger… Their fries were awesome as well.. oh they also have every flavor of Faygo… (almost)

Where should I begin? My wife placed an order for a monthly subscription of soup for my mother around Christmas 2025. After a month of no soup my wife tried to reach Laura by sending a email to her and wanted to know when my mother could expect the first delivery. Laura didn’t even respond, next month the same thing happened no soup delivery, once again my wife sent a email with no response. In March of 2026 again my wife sent multiple emails with no response, so I tried calling her at the restaurant and left multiple messages on the answering machine with no response, I have even messaged her through Facebook and she won’t respond to anything. I called the restaurant a few weeks ago and finally got a answer from someone that actually did pick up the phone, I asked to speak with Laura and the woman asked who was calling and I told her my name and she asked me what this was about, so I explained to the woman what was going on, and that Laura owes us a refund or a monthly soup delivery like my wife paid for. She told me hold on and said let me see if she’s available, I heard her say that she was wanted on the phone and then said my name, the lady then comes back to the phone and asks me for my phone number and Laura would return my call. I told the lady that I didn’t expect a phone call back from her because she hasn’t responded to anything calls, emails or messages from us. So now Laura, explain why you will not return a email call or messages. And like I expect you won’t return anything like you always do.

We stumbled upon this place one afternoon and loved it. The pasty and potatoes were delicious! We’ll definitely be coming back.

We were absolutely blown away by our experience at Around the Corner! If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with true local flair, this is the place. Don't hesitate. There is something on the menu for everyone, and every bite excites and delights the tastebuds.

I’m rarely impressed enough by a restaurant to write a review, but this one was so exceptional I couldn’t resist. My husband and I were amazed by both the creativity and the quality of the dishes. Their fry creations are a must-try(definitely get the broccoli flowers!!!) The fry batter is crispy, and light, yet not overly greasy or thick like most fried dishes are, and the seasoning is unique and unforgettable.

The sauces are clever spins on familiar favorites. I especially loved the mustard-dill tartar sauce that came with the fish fry. It sets them apart from the dozens of restaurants in the Traverse area serving standard fish and chips. The chef has spent nearly a decade perfecting her fry batter, and you can taste it in every bite. The crunch alone is unforgettable!

But that isn't all!!! The salads are fresh and lively and given the attention as show pieces, rather than as afterthoughts, as they so often are in restaurants.

Be prepared though, their portions are very large, so you may need to bring a friend to help you finish it all.

We came to Northport for a day away to celebrate our anniversary, and our lunch was so impressive that we returned for dinner the same day. They even host outdoor Saturday movie nights from June through October, which we can’t wait to experience with our son on our next visit.

The sign outside reads, “Come in, we’re awesome.” That’s actually an understatement. This family-run restaurant truly is awesome, and the family behind it is absolutely lovely. We will be back soon! Next time I will take photos of our food....I'm sorry but I couldn't stop myself to get my phone out before our food was gone!!!

An absolute TREASURE that my friends and I stumbled upon by accident by seeing their “come in, we’re awesome” sign. Guess what? They were awesome!

Our group had a mix of diets, including some vegan folks, and this place married all of our interests and truly was the kind of menu that had something for everyone! The staff were so kind, the sort of people who make the space feel like a home away from home.

I especially loved that they had some Lord of The Ring themed pastries to match their movie night later tonight.

Adorable, local place that we are so excited to make a tradition.

The service was very friendly and charming. Legos and games inside kept the kids entertained. They were very kind and let us take the games outside.

The food was the worst I’ve had in a long time. Everything fried to a crisp yet somehow undercooked. I have that creeping feeling I’m going to get sick from this meal.

The ambiance felt like the place had just been ravaged by a hurricane. That is to say, negative ambiance. Poorly spray painted fence and mostly rough rocks with some grass poking up. Sandbox was 1/3 full and looked like it had been through some stuff. Empty pallets, ladders, and weeds lining the fence.

Ending on a positive note: the mocktail was a fun touch. Small portion for the price, but I’m stealing the idea of using a cupcake liner to cover the top of a glass, brilliant. Taste was nice.

Disgusting!!! I've given this place so many chances I work in northport so it would be nice to have more lunch options. However the food doesn't even resemble what its described as and I have gotten sick EVERY time I have gotten food from here!!!!

We're visiting from PA. Looked up food near me and this restaurant popped up with pics of their food. It all looked delicious and unique! And IT WAS! We got the chicken and chips, burger pasties, taco salad, and a hot dogs! All of it came with the most delicious fried potatoes we've ever had! Chicken was beer battered and juicy! Taco salad came with all the right toppings! Hot dog was huge!! My burger pasties were amazing!! Highly highly recommend!! Wish we would have been there during the regular season! The atmosphere would have been ever better. All around fantastic place!

Don't waste your time or money. They charge you before you get your food. I would have left no tip if I paid AFTER getting my Food and Shake which were awful. The Strawberry shake was made with vanilla ice cream, no strawberries and about 2% Strawberry syrup... awful. The fish sandwich had no tartar sauce... instead it had a mustard sauce... it would have been great with tartar which is normal for a quality fish sandwich. Food is made in a Food Truck FYI. There were no other customers in the joint which is a sign we didn't observe until too late.

One of the last chances for food if you're on the way to the lighthouse. Excellent personalized customer service happy to accommodate special requests. Nice small town family vibe. Not the right place if you're in a hurry.
