Restaurants near Onekama

“Lahey's Pub is a local favorite -- great people serving creative cocktails and the vibe is laid-back and relaxed. Laura, Jamil and the rest of the gang are always welcoming. Grab some pizza or a salad from Portage Point Pizzeria and Cafe' with an ice-cold beer from Lahey's Pub and relax on the porch. Beautiful Portage Lake makes for an amazing view! It doesn't get any better than that.”

“Warm and friendly staff. Great burgers and hot dogs. Awesome appetizers. They carry a selection of mid to high end bourbons and a great selection of cocktails and mules. They offer occasional entertainment that lights up the place.”

“This restaurant opened in Summer 2023. I have eaten here about a dozen times and have not had a bad meal. Everything is fresh, authentic and delicious. Would highly recommend!”

“Sweet Vibes customer service was amazing! My son’s birthday cake was beautiful and most off all it was delicious!! I will be visiting again for their amazing service! Thanks ladies!”

“Visited the area on vacation and was told about this little gem by word of mouth. I was very surprised by the food. Priced was great, food was excellent as well as the service. Keep in mind, this is a small restaurant, they fill up fast. I went when they were busy and waited about 15 minutes. It was well worth it. On my way out, I bought their Fireball Maple Syrup. It was so good that I bought another before leaving for home.”

“Excellent service. Food was amazing! All fresh ingredients and the Greek owner cooks everything herself. The pizza menu looked amazing, but this time we opted for Mediterranean dishes and weren’t disappointed! This place can be easily overshadowed by the restaurant next door but don’t let that happen because you will have missed out on a great experience! We are glad we discovered it!”

“Ok, TLB is brewery #263 for me. This was my second brewery for today before heading off to my hotel and it was definitely a great stop. I always try to review a brewery based on beers alone but sometimes it's hard. Sometimes I stop in and the vibe is just not good, or the service sucks, but neither was the case here. Great vibe, friendly staff and patrons. And as I will get to in a moment, the beer was great too. This is a small brewery with a one barrel system and a small tasting room. It's size belies it's impact though. The beers were really good, although I will not review them in depth individually. Sorry but I ended up chatting with Jameson, the owner, as well as a couple of patrons at the bar. The beer highlights for me were the blueberry and the barrel aged red. SWPFTD would enjoy the barrel aged red. In fact it might have made her PD if you know what I mean. You probably don't but if you don't take the time to figure it out you never will. Your loss... Of course your loss could be your time in figuring it out. This is going to be a short but enthusiastic review. I would definitely recommend stopping in at Third Life Brewing if you are in the area. Of course it would be really hard to stop in if you aren't in the area. In fact I'm hoping to stop in again since I missed picking up a TLB sticker for my RV fridge which is covered in brewery stickers. Maybe Jameson will read this and reach out to offer up a sticker. (Awesome name by the way...) If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.”

“Lindsay made our trip to Manistee complete! She was so attentive, and she brought my son, the absolute coolest children’s drink in the universe! She gave us wonderful suggestions, and we completely loved the Philly flatbread in my martini was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and need us feel like we were locals or a family. We will be back!”

“Excellent product, excellent staff. This is Manistee's best coffee shop. It kicks Biggby and Trophies in the dirt by simply offering a higher quality product. I'm a fairly regular customer and I can tell you that every time I've visited, I've experienced nothing but awesomeness.”

“We're huge fans of Lakeside Cafe and the rad group of women that work there. Always consistent comfort food, served fast. We send all of our guests at the motel here.”

“Went again for the Friday fish fry. The food was exemplary, again. Forgot to upgrade to sweet potato fries, but was surprised at the quality of the french fries with potato skin still on. This restaurant/bar exceded my already high expectations and I would recommend it to anyone.”

“This is a must-stop place if you are in the area. Amazing crepes and coffee! We were traveling and stayed the night in Arcadia and just happened to learn about them then night before when we were eating next door at Ketch22 (also amazing food). What a hidden gem and we'll defiantly be back on our travels through MI.”

“Beyond a 5 star rating the food is amazing!!!! We ate at 2 different restaurants in manistee this weekend and nothing tops this place!!! I will definitely be back and be bringing my family with me! The prices and the food are perfect!!! Thank you painted lady saloon!!! Can't wait to come ”

“Very clean upscale restaurant off the beaten path. The food and presentation makes you feel like you are eating at a prestigious restaurant in a big city. If you're looking for great tasting food with an amazing view then this place is worth seeking out. Besides it's on the most scenic road in Michigan, M22”

“Sugar Delites is a great place to get all your sugarcraft supplies. Jen and Jason takes pride on the high quality products they have. I have been a loyal customer for several years now. The products I bought from them especially their cutters and veiners have always been superior as compared to any in the market. Jen is also such a sweet and great person to talk to and would always do the right thing for her clients. Their customer service is next to none. ❤️”

“Big Al’s delivered on all fronts: their Stromboli was tasty, the service lightning-fast, and bonus points for another meal with the leftovers. Casual, delicious, and efficient—count us in for round two!”

“Awesome lunch with family. Fish and chips, shrimp and fries, loaded nachos were all excellent. Service was friendly. View was fun watching golfers tee off. Good value for the price.”

“One of the best Dairy Queen's we've been to. They are so friendly and welcoming. They do a great job at getting the orders out quickly. Every time we've been there is a line waiting and it goes by very fast. Great job!”

“Great neighborhood drinking bar for locals off the main strip that is more than happy to have tourists wander in. Very friendly and attentive bartender and great drink prices. Lots of basic fried bar food options good for snacking while you drink but not so much a place to go for food only.”

“The t.v.s were all muted, that was fantastic. It was busy but not too loud for a conversation. We shared a 16oz prime rib meal and had just a little leftover. It was absolutely delicious. The server was great, came just often enough and was professional, warm, and kind.Wheelchair accessibility: It was wheelchair accessible.”

“Great place to just have some food and chill with a spicy drink. If im back up this way i will 100% come here. Had the perch sandwich and it was great. Burgers looked great and drinks were cold????”

“2nd visit, and again I must admit, Amigos is the hands down best Mexican cuisine we've ever had in our entire life. Last time I had quesadilla, this time enchilladas suizas. They have some secret seasoning for their carnitas. Out of this world amazing. Highly recommend this place!”

“I just went here today around 5:30-6ish and this young man made my 2 subs. It was the best sub I ever ate at any location, he made it perfect. And listened really well.”

“The champagne chicken is to die for and they have a wonderful deck overlooking the Manistee river channel. If you're there at the right time, you'll see a 600 ft. freighter pass by.”

“Solid place to get a meal! Love the atmosphere and the variety of food choices. They do a fair job at ensuring the menu online is as up to date as possible. Got the Uno Burger and was pleasantly impressed. The outside of the patty was burned to a crisp (a little more than my liking for a smash burger) however, when I got to the middle, it was absolutely mouthwatering.The location unfortunately is somewhat "out of sight out of mind" however, they're doing phenomenal at marketing and announcing they're here! Love the community engagement! :)”
