17 Best American Restaurants near Suttons Bay

“Wonderful place to enjoy the beautiful setting and fantastic food. Brandon was our server and he was so accommodating! Such a beautiful property and to enjoy a great meal with excellent service just tops it all off. Thank you for a great experience. Can’t wait to come back for pizza! Brunch was delicious“

“We were up north for our annual color tour and decided to stop here for dinner.
Nice place! Really liked the atmosphere. They have a couple TV's set up in case you want to watch some sports while you eat. I think the best thing we got was the arancini my wife got. That was really good.
The flank steak was good. Ribs were pretty good. My friend said his perch was ok“

“Stopped in for a Sunday breakfast while vacationing in northern Michigan at this downtown Sutton's Bay eatery. There was comfortable seating inside and out on the patio. The ambiance was warm, with touches of humor incorporated in the decor (note the framed picture over the fireplace when you visit). We dined in the very relaxing atmosphere filled with quiet recorded jazz and happy patrons' conversations. The service was friendly and excellent. Our breakfasts were delicious! My partner's Eggs Benedict disappeared as did my Cherry Cream French Toast with fresh black and red raspberries crowning it off. We will DEFINITELY stop here again! Highly recommend it! Notes: While we did not order drinks aside from coffee, note the drink menu image. And, as we left, we spotted a notice of future live jazz combo appearances.“

“The food and atmosphere is excellent. The staff is very friendly and does a great job.“

“Amazing service and flavors“

“Unbeatable outdoor atmosphere/ beer garden on a nice day. During this visit, the staff seemed friendly and accommodating, but spread very thinly considering the crowd, but their self-service hospitality model seems to help ease this.

Hop Lot’s seasonal brews are always really good, and this visit didn’t disappoint!“

“Food was delish but wait was way too long, we were ready to leave when food showed up.“

“Great food and service! Sheila was fantastic!“

“Riverside Inn was the perfect place for us to stay for our mini honeymoon. Very cute room, comfortable bed, and the food was so delicious!

Rooms: Very cute comfortable room - we reserved the king size.

Nearby activities: Wine Tasting, shopping, fishing, etc.

Food and drinks: Delicious!!!“

“Anne Popa is very welcoming, and has respectable and excellent customer service! my boyfriend and I have gotten pizza here and we most certainly 110% can taste the secret ingredient which is LOVE. Thank you, BOB for going above and beyond you truly are apart of what makes this community wholesome ❤️‍?“

“We had our reception dinner at Fischer's Happy Hour Tavern. Kristi helped us get everything set and their restaurant was that perfect small town bar/diner feel. They made us all feel like part of the family and were so accommodating. The food was wonderful! I would lie if I said I didn't sample a little of everything. The broasted chicken and fried fish were some of my favorites!! Thank you for the wonderful evening!!!!“

“On the water (river) in Fishtown. Very limited menu, sit in shade or sun riverside next to the Leland dam, and part of historic Fishtown. For more extensive menu, go upstairs to the Cove.
Grilled chicken sandwich is great here. Ask for added grilled onions, and home-made habanero hot sauce...delicious! Smoked Whitefish patè and fish chowder are great. Burgers, cherry chicken salad wrap, and a few others. Alcohol served. For fries you have to go upstairs...chips only at Rick's.
5 stars because it is a must go to venue on a pretty summer day.“

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

“Everything was wonderful. The staff, front desk, restaurant, etc. Everyone was so friendly. We loved the room, the “extras”. Our twins loved the cookies and the chocolates by the bed. It’s nice to see an establishment going above and beyond for guests, after seeing so many others cut back and stop doing extras. The room was very clean and comfortable. The only regret was not being able to stay longer. We hope to come up to your property again in the near future. We will be telling all of our friends about our wonderful stay! Thank you for everything. Keep up the great work.“

“My husband and I had a great meal at Jolly Pumpkin last night! Super-fast service, our waiter Andrew was amazing! Highly recommend!

Dietary restrictions: I love that Jolly Pumpkin offers gluten free options! I also love that there are cocktail options.“

“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.“

“Update: Great perch kone. Glad we came here to redeem our visit to Bay Harbor. Obviously they sold that restaurant - now Brandy's - awful food, self serve, on paper plates with plastic cups. Asked if they had Whitefish and I was told " oh yes the fish is white once cooked" (yes she was very serious and yes she was blonde!)“
