“Sparks is amazing. Our server Steve was very polite and made sure our drinks were full our entire stay. He was very funny and added to our experience. The food was PHENOMENAL. I really wish we lived in this area to eat here weekly. Couldn't recommend this place enough if you love good BBQ.”

“Good pizza and great service. They have a fun upstairs patio that’s great when the weather is nice. The artichoke truffle dip is really good. They have gluten free and cauliflower crusts for sensitive eaters. We ordered the BBQ chicken pizza plus pineapple on the cauliflower crust and it was not bad. The regular crust is a lot better (based on my experience a few years back). Our server was very friendly and as attentive as she could be on a busy Saturday night. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the price for what we got. $20 for an okay 12” cauliflower crust pizza is a bit much.”

“Family friendly! Delicious beer! Our server Adam was excellent. He helped bring the kids meal out fast, answered beer and food questions and gave us tourist tips that were incredible! White chicken chili was amazing!”

“Not going to knock the quality of service or even the quality of the food. All of that was great really. But they were near a shut down and were sold out of over half of the menu. Understandable, but it would have been nice to know that every dish we went there for was sold out. Maybe a 86 board in the future or at least a heads up from the hostess. Not too much to ask for a place with that type of wait. Just a little miss led tonight.”

“Excellent in every way! They have several staff that keep things moving quickly. Some take the order, others bring water and beverages, another delivers your meal and someone else is clearing used dishes! Amazing service! Food excellent! We love it there!”

“Pros: 1. Starters were good (summary below) Fried Turnip was a twist. Was good. Sweet potato fries - fried on the outside and cooked on the inside. Pretty good with their dressing. (Asked for some extra raita on the side which was good with the fries) 2. Person in charge of our table was really good 3. Great ambience. Cons: 1. Entree (fried rice): Good food, however I specifically asked for more veggies and less rice... Got less rice and less veggies...”

“Danielle is an AMAZING server! What a wonderful experience. It was busy during the lunch rush but she was attentive and kind. I got the In and Out sandwich and it was everything I had hoped for. Delicious food, music at a good level, and great atmosphere. I'll definitely be recommending this place to friends.”

“Really good, homemade food that somehow still manages to fly under the food scene radar in TC. Consistently one of the best lunches on Front Street. Everything is made from scratch and the quality is excellent. My favorite is the Veggie Sandwich (I'm not a vegetarian) and you're a fool if you don't try their French Onion soup.”

“This is the kind of place every kid (and adult) should love - and perfect for a place like TC where so many people are on vacation. So many different candies and sodas/pops to choose from! We try new ones every time we're in town! Unlike most of the stores on Front St., everyone in the family or group can get a little something, not spend a lot of money, and try something again later in the day or the next day. Seth, the manager, gets to know his customers and loves his job. I hope they're around a long, long time. Thanks for making downtown more fun.”

“This place was recommended to my family and I. We got there and it was EMPTY. We had low expectations but WOW. The waitress was so friendly and the food was cooked fantastic! Our orders turned out perfect. Can't wait to eat here again. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone! They have so many selections.”

“Great place with the best cold brew we’ve ever had! Highly recommend this place for coffee, but we also came here for happy hour and their beer selection was good. Their cocktails looked amazing too but we didn’t get to try those. The service was great as well which we always appreciate. Will come again!”

“We were greeted exactly upon entering by the very kind bartender/ server Laura. Excellent service. This place is a hidden gem for us. With how packed many of the bars restaurants right on Union St. are, we were glad to find a quiet, clean setting with comfortable bar height tables and stools just around the beaten path! The food was fresh and tasty with more delicious options than just typical bar fare. And the MUSIC?! Fantastic mix of 80’s and 60’s Motown! Nice for kids with the paper coloring menu and good options for 2+ kids. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked and our drinks were not at all weak. Will definitely return in the future.”

“The service and food were the best we have had in a long time. The waitress was great, funny, and a very nice person. They have a good selection of food and are not stingy on their portions. We had a great time here and again the waitress was amazing. Will definitely go back when we are in the area Very fast friendly service.”

“Absolutely loved this place. The bartenders were amazing. They stopped to talk to you, but kept the bar running at the same time. The food was very good too. The plan of the day was to have one drink at every (reasonable priced) bar and we would be done. When we did it, all 5 of us decided to go back to only this bar.”

“This is my absolute favorite place to eat in Traverse City. I’ve been eating here all the time this summer since I’m working downtown for a few months. You can get a pastie and a drink for $10. No matter what kind you get, they’ll always be warm and tasty, and they’ll fill you right up. I’m never left hungry here, but I always wish for more food anyway because it’s so good. They bring your food out to you with all the condiments you might need with your meal and they bring it to you almost as soon as you sit down. They also have salads and pasta salads along with a variety of drinks (fountain soda, tea, lemonade, bottled drinks). The ladies that take the orders are always so kind and accommodating and they’re fast and efficient. The owner is the nicest person you’ll ever meet and will make sure you have a drink refill if you want one. This place has a great theme and is a great place to people watch. Cousin Jenny’s also ships pasties nationally so even if you’re only in town on vacation, you can still have these great pasties when you go home. You can eat in the restaurant or get it to go.”

“Really like this place. The casual atmosphere combined with good food and service make it a great place to eat downtown. I personally love the Cuban. They also started serving beer which is nice.”

“Yum! A fun selection of odd combos and the classics! My hot dog had onions, asparagus, and balsamic ketchup... Super good! The side of mini corn dogs were great too. Definitely stop in to this little slice of goodness. We'll be back when we're in town.”

“Been here twice now, and have had nothing to even remotely complain over on either trip. First off, the food is phenomenal. Good, down to earth BBQ. Meats seasoned and cooked perfectly. Great portion sizes for the prices, and the kitchen is always fast with orders. Service has also been extremely pleasant on both visits. Topped off with a great selection of local, and imported beverages. I’d HIGHLY recommend giving this a try when you’re in the area.”

“I called ahead to order food (French fries and an olive burger) and I let them known I was a good 25 minutes away. When I got there it was soggy and cold, like it was made right when I called. When I let them know they quickly replaced it and were friendly, asking if I wanted anything to drink even tho I only had a to-go order. I will always recommend them for their friendly and fast service and wonderful food!”

“Self-proclaimed foodies, try this restaurant out! The menu is constantly changing, and the food is very thoughtfully/creatively prepared. We ordered 3 veggie (smaller) dishes and one fish (larger) dish between 2 people, plus cocktails. We asked what was on the dessert menu before ordering dinner and decided to sacrifice dessert for more entrees, since nothing on the dessert menu was calling our name. It was a good choice. In retrospect, we should have just ordered more veggie dishes instead of the fish. There was nothing wrong with the fish, but I really think veggies are where this chef shines. The cocktails were solid. Service started out a TINY bit pretentious and turned into a lovely experience when it became clear that the staff are just as nerdy and enthusiastic about food as we are. They noticed us using spoons to scoop up every last bit of sauce and very considerately brought us a free basket of fresh bread. Such a nice and professional touch. The chefs cook right in plain view in an open kitchen. The restaurant can get loud, and it is very bright with huge windows and plenty of lighting. We enjoyed our experience and hope to be back!!”

“Wheat, when it dies and goes to heaven, resurrects here amongst the white-clad baker-priests. In as many forms as there are people to eat it. I'm not a church goer or a bread eater, but when I AM...You will find me here, sniffing the delicious air and mourning the fact that I can only eat one breakfast a day. Two, max.”

“Very unassuming place however, the quality of the breakfast here is outstanding. Great backyard patio with Blues background music. Highly recommended.”
