“Mode’s doesn’t need me… I need Mode’s.”
Mode’s is part of the fabric that gave Traverse City its class. Before it was a tourist destination packed with fusion menus and Instagram cocktails, it was a place with standards — and Mode’s helped set them.
It’s not trying to reinvent the wheel. No gimmicks, no loud theatrics. Just a straight-shooter steakhouse that delivers exactly what a real one should: properly charbroiled cuts, real service, and an atmosphere built on consistency, not trend-chasing.
You walk in and feel like Traverse City used to feel — authentic, grounded, and proud without needing to say so.
Places like this aren’t just restaurants. They’re landmarks. And we’re lucky it’s still here.
Burger could definitely use some seasoning, but not bad overall. Late Friday was 70/30 filled, but a nice place to escape the hectic bar scene
Traverse City's own locals version of Cheers. The staff is absolutely top notch! The food is amazing! This is where you want to be.
Wonderful place.
The modes ladies are the best around. Always take care of me and I love going there!
A treasure of a bygone era. It's a limited menu that only features delicious food. If you seek a great prime rib, this is your spot.
The interior is dated but the food was delicious

Classic Mode’s dinner. Terry at the bar. Whole team working hard and laughing. Wonderful blackened Salmon. 50 years of greatness
Awesome food. Always a great business meeting spot.
We just had dinner here.... Prime Rib for me fork tender and Porter House for him best steak he's had in a long time. Cooked perfectly
Kathy our waitress was Amazing.
modes is the place to go for a good steak and great service. always a good time .
We had no quarters for the parking meter. Asked for change, but the lady who seated us gave us a quarter. Said parking is free after 6pm. Excellent first impression. Great service. Food was amazing. A little pricey but we'll worth it. So from beginning to end the place is a must try.
