19 Best American Restaurants near Hurley

“I recently visited the Iron Nugget at 404 Silver St, in Hurley, WI. A. Wey nice place to get a good meal. My first night there it was a good sized crowd and I had to wait for even a seat at the bar to open up. The people behind the bar were very busy but took care of my drink and meal orders very nicely. I had their cheeseburger and fries. The burger was really good and is a place to revisit.

Parking: Need to look around to find a spot at dinner time.“

“Passing through the area on our way home and stopped here. The young, blonde working on Sat, 11/16 was so kind and helpful. She also made me on of the best spiced chai’s I’ve ever tasted!! If I’m ever in the area again, I would definitely stop in here for coffee. Beats Starbucks any day!“

“So amazing thanks again I love it so much“

“Randomly stopped here on a UTV trip. Awesome bar with great new owners that just bought it, and locals, that go out of their way with service, help on finding the good trails, drinks, and a ton of laughs!! Will go out of our way to make it back here on whatever toys we are riding up here. Can't say enough good things about em!“

“Stopped by on our way through. Sunny summer day so we ate outside. Our pet was able to be with us. No outside service so we had to order to-go. Food was okay. Simple menu. Chicken soup was up to their hype. Since we routinely travel along this route, we'll keep Yukon 51 on the list of places we might stop.
Staff was courteous and accommodating.“

“My traveling companion said that the Italian omelette he had a week ago yesterday was the best omelette he ever had. I nabbed a bite and he was correct. My biscuits and gravy with fried eggs weren't bad either. When we're ever in Ironwood Mike's will be our go to place. Thank you, Dan Walker, Rhinelander Wisconsin.“

“Went to Bigpowderhorn for skiing for a day. After a tiring session, enjoyed a really good luch and a break time here. I ordered cruchy carnita pork sandwich, it was perfectly cooked melting meat and well seasoned. They also have two KBC beers on tap, so being from Houghton that's always a good thing!“

“Walked over in a blizzard from the AmericInn, received great service, delicious fish fry! Definitely will be back whenever we are in town to ski👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻“

“We both tried pasties for the first time. Rigonis shipped them to us. OMG so delicious! We will visit in person this summer to try the other flavors!!!! Thank you!! PS I baked an extra one which is far too much for one meal. Tomorrow morning I will break it up and fry up in some butter with over easy eggs on it. Can't wait!!!“

“food really good but seems like we always have to remind a waitress that we been sitting n waiting for anyone to take r order. as we see people coming in way after us n get wait on n order place b4 we even got to order r meal.“

“This was our third stop for pasties on our road trip through Michigan and the UP. Previous stops were Superior Coffee in Sault Ste Marie and Muldoon's in Munising.

Joe's has been making pasties for 78 years (since 1946), so it might be the oldest pasty shop in Michigan.

We tried the traditional and the Finnish. I'm a big fan of the Finnish because I prefer the depth of flavor you get with the carrots and rutabaga.

Both pasties were perfectly cooked. The flavors were really good. I just wish they offered gravy.

Unlike some pasties we've had, Joe's didn't *need* gravy – it was perfectly moist. I just love gravy ?

Definitely stop at Joe's if you're looking for a great pasty! They're reasonably priced, delicious, and made with grass fed ground beef.“

“Our first visit was better than hoped.

Place was packed however, a cozy place for us to sit, order and ALL happened fast!!!!

Kind and courteous Staff. Cooks ROCK!!!! Feeding us lot tasty and plenty of food. Yummmmmm

Parking: Ample

Kid-friendliness: Toys box for the wee ones.

Holiday trees up and decorated with a cute bear carving ❤️“

“We had the best time ever!! Awesome food, great atmosphere, amazing people. Will 100% come back!!“

“Cute little bakery shop with a seating area. We stopped for take-out sub sandwiches so we could have a picnic in the nearby park. Good quality ingredients on fresh buns. Was surprised to see hard rolls there, since that had previously been a local Sheboygan, WI specialty. Be advised it is cash only BUT there is a no-fee ATM about a block away at Kwik Trip.“

“Excellent pizza, excellent food nice people! What more could you want!“

“Great Ribs and Old Fashions“

“Bea treated us like her favorite family members, when in reality we were complete strangers. (Strangers only lasted for 1 minute!) The restaurant was closed, but Bea happened to be unlocking the door as we arrived. She asked us if we were hungry. When we replied 'Yes', she insisted we come in and she'd heat us up a meal in 5-10 mins. Things like this ONLY happen in small towns! The food was yummy, the conversation friendly, and the memories will last a lifetime! Thank you so much for helping make an already fantastic day of hiking in Porcupine Mountains an extraordinarily positive Ironwood experience. We came back for lunch today and the special did not disappoint! Roast beef and mashed potatoes - delicious! Western burger & fries were also great!“

“Love the quiet, calm atmosphere of this clean Cafe. Their omelets are sooo good. Highly recommend!“

“If you’re a foodie and looking for that hidden gem in a town where you’ve tried everything, and haven’t quite found what you’re looking for— this is the place! I get the vibe that some top food critic is going to come in disguise, sit down, and eat the best meal of his life. Then give top reviews and award a Michelin star like in all those movies and TV shows. Then boom, all of a sudden ironwood is on the map with a top tier restaurant and us locals can’t get in anymore. … Maybe I shouldn’t write that into existence though because I’d be super sad if I couldn’t sit down for a prime rib again. So food critics, please stay away and let us have this. :) All jokes aside, I did have the best prime rib of my life. I love that it’s a reservation system, giving a sense of eliteness but still providing a small town, homey, comfortable dining experience when you sit down. It’s quiet, perfect for a date night or a special occasion. This will be our go-to in the future! Thank you for a great meal!“
