“Great food at a great location!“

“The food was delicious“

“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.“

“Phenomenal fall vibes and a great pick for bday bevs and apps! We loved the energy of Hop Lot from the moment we stepped through the doors - from spacious seating to friendly hosts and patrons - we felt at home.

Definitely lives up to the hype and would recommend for anyone looking for a cozy place to visit. ❤“

“Good, drinks, and service are excellent. Great local addition!“

“Great food and service! Sheila was fantastic!“

“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.“

“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 ate here about an hour before a concert so we were expecting a long wait for not only a table but hour meals. Turns out wasn't the case, there were plenty of tables/booths. Food is sort of what you would expect a casino/burger bar but a better. Had plenty of options, including daily specials. Service was quick and helpful. Thank you again!“

“We had a lovely lunch on the porch of Fischer’s Happy Hour Tavern. My friend really enjoyed the special fried chicken. It was fresh and crispy and accompanied by really well made Cole slaw and crispy fries. I enjoyed the turkey Reuben along with my friend’s husband. The turkey was fresh and the coleslaw and Thousand Island dressing were the perfect complement in the fresh rye bread. Ian, our sever, was knowledgeable and attentive. This is a great place to stop if you’re driving between Leland and Northport.“

“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!“

“Great place, right on the water with the waterfall in the background. Great scenic spot for drinks and some food. Service has always been good even when they’re really busy. Always try to stop here while in the Leelanau Peninsula.“

“Love the atmosphere! Staff is amazing. If you are in Traverse City, it’s a must!“

“Would I recommend? Hmm. Our server was great ( I wish I got her name) but she was overwhelmed and they were under staffed. The food? Not great. Everything was overdone. The cornbread was dry. I ordered the seared tune salad and the tuna was more medium well. The music could have been a little more upbeat for a weekend. While we all ( a party of 6) ate our food, it wasn’t the greatest. It may have just been an off night, every restaurant has some. I felt bad for our server. She was such a sweetheart. She can’t control the cooking staff or management. Management needs to learn that they need to take better care of their staff to make sure that patrons experience is above satisfied. Will I come back? Maybe. But it might be a long while? Will I recommend? If someone asks me about I will be honest. Will I come out and say you have to go there? No. But I won’t discourage anyone from trying it.“

“Just recently took a trip here and it is a lovely place. Our server was super friendly and attentive! My boyfriend liked his Cuban sandwich and the french fries were yummy. Unfortunately, I did not care for my pasta. It has a weird taste that I couldn’t quite put my finger on.“

“Welcome back! One of Leelanau counties favorite. Great drinks, service, and food!“

“A Complete Hidden Gem and the Beautiful Staff that Was a Permafudgie 😆 🤣 You Were Great and This Place Should be visited by all Tourist Great Food and Atmosphere the Stories are Awsome and the Views are Spectacular ❤“
