22 Best American Restaurants near Sawyer

“5/5 Every time…my favorite place to dine in Sawyer (and stay- check out the air bnb’s owned by the same couple on the property). Incredible service and food, I highly recommend for a fine dining experience.“

“Last dined at Skips in January 2026 , let me say this , first biggest complaint is that after looking at my credit statement I saw that they tacked on an extra $20 charge on my credit card without my permission , after questioning them they did remove the charge , second the food was fair at best , I ordered the Walleye which I'm not sure it was even Walleye , it tasted and looked more like Tilapia ( 2 small filets ) , wife had the Salmon which she said was just ok . I bragged about this place to the others that were with us and they agreed it was nothing to write home about , ,will I go back to Skips , no but they probably don't carel“

“Honestly, the restaurant is in the middle of nowhere. When we were driving, we saw some old farms, big and old house. So the decor was not the best.
From the outside, the restaurant looks rustic.
But when the food come, it was amazing.
I definitely recommend it.“

“Just had dinner here at the Red Arrow Roadhouse. Hubby ordered the meatloaf dinner and he liked it very much. I ordered the Roadhouse Classic Reuben minus the sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing! The house-cooked corned beef, warm, very lean, and incredibly tender on griddled marbled rye, with melted Swiss cheese was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had! The fries were perfectly cooked and hot. Our server was a dream. Friendly and welcoming. She made us want to come back! The next time we’re in New Buffalo, we will definitely visit this restaurant again.“

“My wife and I got married here and we had a better experience than we expected and it’s due to all the great people at Pebblewood. I can recommend giving them your business. You won’t regret it.“

“What a great experience. The staff is awesome. The food is great. I highly recommend this restaurant. Food is down home cooked. This is not your fast food joint. This is a family restaurant.“

“Local classic. Great service. Drinks on point.“

“This is one of the best restaurants in the area ! Katie and Tamara are excellent bartenders and servers ! Not only do they make the best martinis hands down - they get to know their customers and what they like -food and drink . We continue to come to this restaurant because of Katie and Tamara !“

“This was our first visit to the Staymaker, which is the restaurant within the Journeyman Distillery. We are visiting from Chicago and this was recommended and we were not disappointed! Everything was really excellent! From our charming and attentive server Hailey, to the amazing smoked trout spread app to the Trout entree and the brisket meatloaf. It was all so delicious! We will be back!“

“Just came back from Easter brunch 2026 and I have to tell you that had to be the best brunch buffet I have ever had! Their food is always exceptional there but this was so spot on from the breakfast items to the main course and of course, the salad was out of this world. But of course, my favorite was the prime rib. It was so juicy so tender cooked perfectly, and the ham was smoked with such a flavor to it from what I understand they also do this on Mother’s Day and I look so forward to that. I went with my family and my great grandchildren and they just enjoy eating at the union pier social and my good friend Steve is the manager there and basically runs the whole show and he just took it out of the park. I suggest if you’ve never ever patronize the union pure social you need to go because all your Round their food is just exceptional on Tuesdays they have bingo. It is so much fun that you can eat play bingo meet friends I love going there and I suggest everyone you need to try it. You will not be sorry.“

“The friendliest encounter we’ve ever had at the drive thru window. We love supporting local businesses and this one in particular was a treat. The food is amazing and all cooked to order. Bring your imaginations because if they have the ingredients the sky’s the limit.“

“Mr. Gyro’s is one of my favorite casual dining spots around here. The owner, Nathan, is so nice and his food is ON POINT. The gyros platter and Greek salad are both a solid representation of authentic, fresh Greek flavors and ingredients. 10/10 recommend!“

“Would give 5 stars for delicious pizza and good beer, but the music (good selections!) was extremely loud. Difficult to hold conversations. Had headache by time I left.“

“Came because my husband is a lifelong Cubs fan and Crosstown Classic was going on. The manager Kristi was awesome...so friendly! Melinda our bartender could not be more attentive and engaging. The new owner is involved and present. Great local presence.“

“10/10 supper yummy food support local !!“

“Been here many times. We had a great dinner here the other night as always. The zucchini blossoms are delicious and the sauce to dip them is so good. The blueberry martini is my favorite.“

“Always a cool experience.“

“The food is always delicious and affordable for the value. The daily double that offers 1/2 a sandwich and a bowl of soup is wonderful. We have always had a great meal when we di e at Timbers.
When the lines are long another cashier would be greatly appreciated.“

“Always a pleasure to check out the seasonal menu updates! Brussel sprouts are a great way to get started and the pizzas are incredible.
Last visit, I tried their margarita which is made with egg whites, and it was delicious!
Please be kind to the staff. They are wonderful and very attentive.“

“It wouldn't let me post my review unless I said I recommend...People need to be warned. Apparently if you are not a regular, they will give your table to one of them even if you reserved months in advance. Hostess and Manager do not value out of owner business so go somewhere else. The only option I could choose was "slow service" but wait staff were better than management.“

“The buffet was good, but I think they put way too much pepper on the food. There’s a lot of people out there cannot have pepper … that’s why you put salt and pepper shakers on the table so people could put the salt and pepper on the food by themselves. The cooks put way too much pepper on the food especially the mashed potatoes. Don’t need to do that. Nobody else does that.“
