Always on my list of stops for our weekend getaways to TC! Great selection of goodies for picnicking or your air bnb. This last time we hit their Friday smoked meats selection and grabbed some of the best ribs I've ever had. Always clean, always friendly, and never over priced. Thank you, Bayside team! read more

Great fresh made chef salad, smoked salmon & white fish dip. Crisp fresh greens, high quality turkey & ham, along with hardboiled egg. Smoked salmon was to perfection & the white fish dip was incredible. (Dip made it home inflight to savor the flavor, after my flight was delayed one day.) Made an extra day delightful. Friendly service & wonderful customer service. They also have a good variety of local, domestic & international wine. All priced to satisfy any price range. Don't miss this gem while in TC! read more

I did a corporate luncheon and the sandwiches were delicious. It was fresh and tasty. The chicken salad was Delish! The food was a big hit, I will definitely order from there again. The staff was very friendly and helpful. read more

Great selection. Great grab-and-go and great people! Steaks are superb, and the seafood is great as well.

What an awesome find. Searching for high quality steaks on a Sunday. No problem, Bayside was open. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. This gourmet meat market has it all. I went with NY Strips. Well marbled, and cut thick, they looked delicious even before I threw them on the Lodge cast iron skillet. After a hard sear, and finished in the oven, they were ready to be devoured. And, have them season the steaks with their house rub. Omg. Outstanding. I've been back several times. Picked up some wagu steaks to go, and can't wait to try them. read more

We stayed at the hotel across the street. thought we would have a sandwich and salad for dinner and an early night, It was terrible!!. The lettuce and bread both was old, paid top dollar and subway is better!! I don't even like subway . Great reviews but differently will never be back. read more

Awesome!! So much in such a small space. If we lived here, this would be our go-to place for fresh meats, seafood, and deli meats. We got sandwiches here - they were so tasty! The staff is friendly, the service quick. Skip the chain deli stores, eat here instead. read more

Not impressed AT ALL. Ordered a roast beef with havarti, LTM hors radish mayo. Roast beef was medium well NOT rare. There was very little of each ingredient in my sandwich. Expected it to be much better. Will not be going back. read more

Awesome beer selection! I love shopping local, so this place is IT. If you're staying in the area and need a drink or snack, def stop here read more

If you are looking for great seafood or meats this is the place! Fine cheeses, great beer selection and an excellent staff. It's a perfect stop to make before going to a party so you can bring something unique, special or just to treat yourself to on a Friday night in. read more

DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! This place is a rip-off. We went here a couple days ago to buy shrimp, even though we now live on the west side of TC. They used to have great shrimp at a fairly reasonable price. The bulk shrimp was $17.99/lb. and usually the 2.5 lb bags are less per pound than the bulk shrimp (an incentive to get you to buy more.) But the 2.5lb bag was $53.97 which is more than 17.99/lb. When I questioned them about the discrepancy, they said the 2.5 lb bag was actually 3 lbs. Can you say "Shyster"? The shrimp tasted moldy and was certainly not worth the cost. It's farm raised in India! Will no longer be supporting this business. read more

This place is absolutely my style. Yes fresh whitefish dip, other smoked local fish, fresh and frozen, Boarshead meats, well stocked unique wines, craft and regular beers and fresh walnut cherry bread. They have all the healthy grain chips to accompany all the cheese and dip snacks plus a mini market in the back of the store. I came by one day and there was a man barbecuing something yummy fresh for the lunch crowd. They also make yummy all Boarshead sammies, chips and a pickle for $5.95. Sammies aren't available late in the evening but everything else was. I'm not a big drinker but was impressed with the higher quality of wines available and one of the men working there was quite knowledgeable in case you're into vino. The only thing which mystified me is that I've never seen this awesome little market in all my years visiting Traverse City. The current owners have owned it for 13 years. Don't miss out on this fun lil market. It's across from the Beach Haus Hotel. Sure beats Tom's in uniqueness! read more

Went in and ordered some turkey. Person behind counter had mask under chin. Thought they would cover mouth with it when cutting turkey but did not. After that I grabbed it and went to pay. No employees wearing masks even the ones making sandwiches and serving customers! WTF Will never return! read more

The selection here was fantastic! Do you need a $10 bottle of wine or a Tomahawk steak? Well they have it.! Great selection of food, wine & beer. I had not planned on going here but after horrible experience at the Holiday Shopper it was an easy decision. The staff here was also helpful & friendly. Got what I was going to buy at the other place, but glad I came here. read more

Stopped in to get some beer. They have a great little deli counter with fresh meat. Decent selection of seafood, and a good beer and wine selection. The staff is top notch and super helpful. read more

I just discovered Bayside Market 2 weeks ago and I love it. A lot. The selection and quality of meat are amazing and Tom the butcher is awesome. I've taken every one of his recos and each one has been a hit at home. They also have a lot of really great cheese (the Prairie Breeze and Beemster are outstanding). Mike at the front has also been super nice and very helpful. Great shop. Also...everyone was wearing a mask. Thank you. read more

They have some good products in there but everything is way over priced. I'm the type that don't mind paying for quality and I did get a few things to try give them some business but the price did not match up with what you got. I won't be back. read more

This place has become a part of our vacation tradition. Close to the airport and the state park. Awesome sandwiches.

This place is great! They had everything we needed, kombucha, all the great local stuff even a cutter for our cigar and the sandwich was amazing! And you can't get better service! This is always are go to place when in TC! read more

If you are in the area I would highly recommend this neat little place. The steamed seafood is amazing.

I made my first trip to The Bayside Market today since it has changed ownership, it was disappointing to say the least. I was hoping to get a few New York strip steaks to grill for dinner. They had four steaks in varying shades of brown. I asked if there were any others to choose from and was told no by the young man behind the meat counter. I passed on that. This was at approximately 5:30 pm primetime for customers looking to by something for dinner. The previous owners always had the meat cooler stocked, and a butcher or the owner on hand to meet customers needs. This place has fallen drastically since Dan sold it. I will not be spending my money here. read more

Stopped in again this past week. Didn't see the smoked fish, but wasn't looking for it either. Went with whitefish dip which seemed a little pricey at $17.99 a pound. Also got a bottle of wine. They now take Discover Card! read more

Awesome little store with lots of different meats, cheeses, wine, craft beer, salads, etc. Try the Italian Sandwich! It's fantastic!

When you offer to help to Coast Guard families in a time of need you get five stars in my book! That says a lot about the caring people that run this business. THANK YOU! read more

Excellent sandwiches great lunch at the beach. Really enjoyed the Roast beef and cheese.

It's a deli, plus they have beef jerky. The plain and mesquite varieties are excellent, the turkey tenderloin not so much, but the pay-by-the-pound setup allows for a diverse jerky tasting. The produce section isn't huge but I've appreciated the fresh Fuji apples, not like those places that think a wrinkled Red Delicious is sufficient. read more

Great place. Homemade jerky is fantastic. Wide selection of wines and beers as well as a fantastic deli area and lots of options for food to cook. The service here was outstanding !!!!! Must go if you are in the area. read more

Great selection of liquor, beer and wine. Meats and cheeses, seafood everything you need even a little selection of fruits. Will be going back for some meat and cheeses to snack on. read more

Freakin' awesome. So sad this place isn't in Chicago. They have all my favorite things; beer, wine, meat, cheese, etc. Amazingly knowledgeable and friendly staff. Will be my first stop every visit to Traverse City, and it should be yours! read more

I have never been here, but the meat looks good. The owner is Bug Gretch's second cousin, so it's a must go to for all tourists.

We loved Bayside Market and visited it for several years, then we noticed changes we weren't and aren't happy with. Our guess is the store changed ownership. The BBQ used on the ribs and chicken that used to be prepared on the grill located just outside the entrance tastes different. Different spices or something and we don't care for it. The jerky sticks (Hickory, Mesquite, Teriyaki) also taste different than they used to. Not fans. And finally, what is up with using onions in all of their salads? Cole slaw and potato salad do not need onions, and taste better without them. Ugh. Disappointed, so we don't plan on returning. read more

Fast and convenient place to stop at especially if your staying at one of the beach front properties. We stopped in here really quick for a bottle of wine and i ended up finding a peach wine I LOVED. Service was great as well! I must admit everyone in Traverse City Michigan was super friendly and we loved it. read more

Get to know this place. You will not be disappointed that you did. Meats, Seafood, Spirits all specially prepared. Dinner and lunch to go no fuss no muss for you what's not to love read more

Purchased fresh basil and artichoke spread. When I got home and opened it up I found mold. I turned it over and looked at the sell by date which was 3/8/12. I bought it on 4/20/12. Another time I was in the store a worker was using the vacuum. After waiting at the register for 3 minutes watching her vacuum, I finally asked her if she could help me? She sighed and gave me a dirty look. I will never be back. They have never offered to help me find anything and have never said thank you for shopping here. Do not go to this store. read more

boar's head, they got boar's head. everyone knows boar's head is the best! mmmmmmmm.mmmmmmmm. ok, now to the real review. this is a very nice little shop with tasty, made to order sandwiches. my turkey reuben was superb. my husband had a turkey sub that was also really tasty. staying at the beach haus across the street i got to try out the market couple times. it is the perfect place for a traveler. the garlic and artichoke spread is amazing, as is the whitefish dip. the beer selection is medium sized and upscale. the prices, i have to say are very much inflated, but i was on vacation. they seemed to also have a nice wine selection. love, juston read more

Wonderful business that supports their local Coast Guard! We cannot thank you enough for the generosity! We will continue to shop here in the future. Thanks again read more

If you need a fancy cut of meat or a bottle of wine this the best place to go. We always make the drive over to Bayside market before a cookout. The quality of the food there is excellent which is reflected in the cost, but it's nice to splurge on good food sometimes. read more

This is such a great little market if you are staying in the area. They have a nice deli counter with a bunch of great cheeses. They have large freezers with seafood that they will steam for you to go. And lots of fish, sausage (some they make) if you have somewhere to cook it. The owner also told me they do a bbq every friday afternoon and that it sells out quickly. They have a nice beer and wine selection - they have some local wine, french, italian, australian - pretty impressive for a little market. read more

This place has the best homemade jerky! I beg friends to bring some home when they go to Traverse City.

Good alternative to fast food for lunch. We were stopping to get a picnic lunch. I wanted them to be more like Guerney's in harbor Springs, and it could with a few changes...thick cut bread and quarter pound meat. Lots of grocery items to fill out the picnic! read more
