It was excellent. Food and service were excellent. We are a product of the South and dont have much whitefish and walleye available. I had the walleye sticks appetizer with an order of fries and my wife had the whitefish cakes. Both were delicious. Fries were obviously hand-cut and large; also very hot. Our server was great! The best part of the meal was the BREAD STICKS! It appeared that the sticks are baked in a round pattern, like a pizza, and then cut into sticks. They were so hot, I couldn't hold them until they cooled a little bit. The accompanying spread was excellent; also marinara sauce. One could make a meal from the bread sticks. The vibe was pleasantly rustic. We decided on a booth instead of seats at the bar. Again, our server was great. The guy who brought out the bread sticks was equally good. I suppose the bread sticks are brought to the table directly from the oven. Highly recommend this place!

We rarely sit outside but this patio beckoned and we were helpless to resist. There's even outdoor seating available if you arrive before the restaurant is open! Silas brought us menus and took drink orders right away. We enjoyed the season's first shandies while exploring the menu. His attention was perfect and we shared some laughs each time he returned to our table. Neither one of us wanted to share (I guess) so we each ordered our own appetizers. I can never get enough smoked whitefish spread... until it's ALL MINE! I enjoyed every bite and would do it again. Patrick ordered the walleye strips and he did offer me a bite (generous devil that he is). They were perfectly crisp without being heavy or greasy. If I had known that... nah, I'd still get the whitefish. We'll be back to visit The Portside and try more menu items. Who knows, maybe we'll split something next time?

Waitress is efficient, accurate and attentive, frequently offering coffee refills. My sister ordered the Breakfast Special of the day , Vanilla french toast with chocolate drizzle (sans drizzle) with a side of bacon. She said it was the BEST french toast she'd ever had. My friend had the Hungry Hollow Breakfast Special (offered daily) and selected link sausage, eggs over easy, hash browns & sourdough toast. She commented all food was perfectly prepared and was quite tasty. My chicken fried steak breakfast was served piping hot with a peppery white gravy, easy over eggs & crunchy on the outside, pillowy on the inside hash browns. The marble rye toast thickly sliced bread was toasted and cried out for the accompanied butter and blackberry jam; SO GOOD! The generous portions were too much for me; I could only eat 1/3 of my meal with the two cups of coffee & glass of ice water served. I am happy to report my brother thoroughly enjoyed the leftovers pronouncing them "Delicious with a capital D!" This my second visit in consecutive years. Food quality, quantity & service remains top notch. I look forward to my visit next year and recommend you stop in for a bite. Tourist friendly & supported by cheerful locals. Thank you Hungry Hollow team!

Once seated, make everyone at your table get something different and everyone share. Not a dish will disappoint but you will be disappointed if you only try one thing!

Smoking hot inside the building no less. I asked the incredibly nice fella what he suggested as a '1st timer' and he said that the most popular & one of his favorite sandwiches was the cheesesteak. It took maybe 10-15minutes to make the sandwich and he did warn us it would take some time but it was totally worth the wait. The sandwich was incredibly tasty. The perfect loaf of bread, the perfect amount of beef, cheese, onions and green pepper. We only ordered the single sandwich to share between me and the lovely Mrs but once we were done. I wished we had ordered two!! The traverse city cherry bbq chips were a welcomed addition! For sure go support these folks and thank me later!

We have been coming here for years, so let's start with our first visit. The waitress wasn't friendly. She was short, abrupt, and a little scary and we didn't want to piss her off. We even tried to be friendly and that seemed to piss her off more. So let's diffuse the situation and order some drinks! Full bar....no long islands, no red stag and coke, no hard cider....so we got what we could. We order the homemade burgers and fresh cut fries. The food was amazing! We kept coming back in hopes that the waitress was having a bad day. Nope! That's her.... we now come to expect no hello, warm beer, no glasses or mugs with our beer, or any type of follow up. Have you been to Dick's in Chicago or San Diego?! Well, if you haven't... you can find the same experience here. Dick's is known for people being rude to you on purpose and that's part of the experience. Was she like this to us? Nope! Everyone was treated equally. Let me jump back to the food... during our last visit we ordered the fried dill pickles, BLT, and the white fish fry. If you're health conscious, this is NOT your place. If you're looking for some good food and an experience, this absolutely your place. If you're looking for someone to be nice to you too, check out Mt. Shasta down the street in Michigamme. Will we be back? Absolutely! I love the Cozy! I know what to expect and they exceed expectations.
