“Small rural town business, please remember this. Clean bathroom and an interesting layout for the ladies room. You'll understand if you visit. Good offerings of food and drink. Plenty of parking for trail riding.”

“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!!!”

“I’ve been here a few times, every single time everyone has made me feel like family. Each time gets better and better. Drinks always filled, delicious food and excellent service! Desserts are out of this world. We are blessed to have this restaurant. I promise I won’t lock myself out of the bathroom again 🤣 thanks again for everything!”

“HOLY COW!! This bistro is a diamond find in the UP. Situated in Ironwood MI, as the Chef’s “retirement plan. Run by a Master Chef and his delightful wife, who are living their retirement plan. The unbelievably tasty food competes with the likes of Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor, or Mudgie’s in Detroit. I had the delicious BLT, which was unlike any other BLT I’ve ever had. It was that great! Thick sliced multigrain bread, filled with thick crispy bacon, tomatoes, greens, and a sauce that was so extremely delicious. Portion: HUGE! I am saving the other half for tomorrow. Spencer got the meatloaf sandwich, which was “the best sandwich I’ve ever had.,”per someone who has sampled some of the best sandwiches in Seattle, Chicago and Detroit. What a gem!! Chef Paul Sardinia is an award winning Master Chef whose culinary style and menu, is something I’d expect to see in NYC, Chicago, or the culinary scene in Detroit. Prices are perfect for the portion and taste. Anyway, the best yummy strong son and I’ve had the pleasure of dining, in a long time.”

“We bought land just east of Willy's. We met the owner and he is so nice! Our friend Kevin was there. We are know as "The Tent People" due to where we hunted. Can't wait to get back up. Everyone is super friendly. Great place to stop and have a cold beer and some fun!!!”

“This place is great. I went for breakfast and it came out in less than five minutes! The omelette was perfect, hash browns cooked very well, and even the toast was great. Everyone is super nice. 10/10, would return.”

“Bartenders were awesome! Didn't live up to their names - Mean and Surly. 🤣 Great vibe, solid beer. I send a lot of folks here and they always enjoy!”

“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.”

“better than Starbucks * Professional service. 🥑Fresh breakfast,🥯 sandwiches, 🥪 allergy friendly, gf 🍞options. 🍄 rishi tea 🫖 variety. Seasonal drink menus. 🧋 Chairs are wooden🪑, hard at indoor tables. 🛋️Couch available and loungers.”

“One of the best pizzas in the area!! The crust is perfection and the sausage addicting.”

“food was really good. The bartender Darryl handled the (friendly) harassment from my drunk cousin fairly well. cool place to hangout. super chill atmosphere.”

“Our first visit here and I gotta say it was a very positive experience. I had the steak Alfredo and it was literally the best I have ever had. Highly recommend 👌 👍”

“AMAZING coffee, pastries and parfaits! Stopped every day of our trip. 10/10 ☕️”

“Excellent food, inviting atmosphere and fun cocktails. We tried the new Jerk Chicken Pizza on special. It was even better than we were hoping for. Very friendly bartender also made our pizza.”

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

“My husband and I stopped here after a long day of hiking and exploring Ironwood MI and Saxon area. We read the reviews on Google and they were all really good so we popped in. It was Monday at 5pm. There was 1 gentleman at the bar and the bartender (owner). We were greeted and served drinks right away. Service was excellent! All of our needs met. Nice corner bar with additional tables and hightop table seating. Looked like an outdoor area was set up with canopy and picnic tables but we didn't ask about it. Bar was comfortable, bartender was friendly, fast, efficient, great conversation with everyone at the bar. We had a cheeseburger and popcorn chicken with fries. Cheeseburger was charbroiled to perfection. Perfect size 1/3? burger. Popcorn chicken was your average bar popcorn chicken, which is exactly what I wanted - nothing fancy. Fries were homemade - not my favorite but they were good! Overall, great place to stop and we will be back to try some of the specials. Follow on Facebook!!”

“Great place to have a burger and a beer. The sister of the owner was there and she was just an awesome lady. Unfortunately, we were told that they’re going to be closing in the fall.”

“What a great little bar to stop in from riding! We came here with some local friends from The Northern Lure Campground and it was a lot of fun! The bartender was friendly and we had some great conversations with everyone in there! Plenty of parking too! If you're in the area and need a rest, definitely stop in here and they'll get you taken care of!”

“The Brite Spot Liqure Store on the main street in Hurley is great .You can find everything you like .Always stalked up .Friendly staff.”

“Definitely our spot to hangout! Annie is awesome!”

“Great place for a cold beer!”

“Sorry to do it this way, however Copper Street Pub is only open on Fridays and Saturdays 1-10pm and Sundays 1-6pm.Airbnb available above the bar,check the website and VRBO too.”

“I recently visited Nora's Red Carpet Lounge at 118 Silver St, in Hurley, WI. I was visiting the Hurley area and walked from my hotel and walked into Nora's. I was pleasantly greeted and ordered my beverage. The bartender was fantastic and we were able to talk as we watched football. The people at the bar were real friendly as well and I enjoyed my time talking to them as well. A good place to go and enjoy the night.

Parking: No problem parking”

“The old fashioned bar experience that you can't find anymore. Everyone having a good time, having a few drinks and sharing stories. I highly recommend Hautalas!”

“I loved the food! We had to order at a counter and they brought the food out to us. The high ceilings made the place very loud. There were a table of loud men and when they left a bunch of loud ladies came in. It was hard to visit.”

“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!”

“Friendly bar and just fun place to bring your friends 😊”

“So amazing thanks again I love it so much”

Love this place.”
