Fitzgerald's Restaurant

Small restaurant with beautiful lake views! My martinis were excellent and they had a great drink menu and choices overall. My husband had udon noodles with smoked brisket, which he loved. I had the special of the night, which was meatloaf over mashed potatoes with gravy and crispy onions. Very much recommend going here! Reservations are required I believe for the most part.

After spending all day driving a quarter of the Mandan rd at the end of highway 41 we circled back to eagle river to stop and check out this gem on the shores of t Lake Superior on the tip of the upper peninsula, the moment you bend the corner the smells of bbq meander among the inner crevasses between your brain and soul , reservations are always best but for the adventurer, if there is a seat at the bar you can eat there too! They also take carry out orders for those that wish to dine on the beach!

Small place not many tables inside. Great views to the sunset over Lake Superior. The ribs were over cooked by 15 to 20 minutes. The meat was a little drier than I like. Great crust on the ribs and the BBQ sauce was a nice zesty compliment.

The Fitzgerald is one great place to eat and to stay overnight. The room we had was amazing! The view was beautiful. All the rooms face Lake Superior, so you can't go wrong. Don't forget to make a reservation or order take-out, for the most amazing, fresh ingredient, creatively prepared meals and cocktails anywhere in the peninsula, bar none. This was our second visit to the Fitzgerald in 9 years, and it has only gotten better. From Detroit but it is totally worth the drive for the lodging, the food and the view.

Enjoying the Fitz is one of our favorite experiences each year. Tonight was no exception. We started with the pickled veggies and the walleye cake. The walleye cake was probably the best appetizer I’ve ever had. Then I had the whitefish and my husband enjoyed a special — smoked prime rib. For dessert, we each picked pie that was fantastic. Also, the Spanish gin and tonic was so good!
