Moose & Stella's is exactly what I want in a local breakfast spot!…read more First of all, I absolutely LOVE the whole dog theme. Knowing the restaurant is named after their dogs makes all of the dog decor even more adorable, and the fact that they have treats for your four-legged family members too is such a fun touch. Beyond being incredibly cute and pet-friendly, the food is phenomenal. They have great breakfast options, really fun coffee drinks, and you can actually take the whole family out for breakfast without breaking the bank, which feels increasingly rare. It has that comfortable, welcoming local feel where you can get a genuinely great meal without anything feeling overly fancy or overpriced. Delicious food + fun coffee + dogs + reasonable prices? You really can't go wrong.

Kettlewell's is closed for the season (last day is Labor Day) but I had to add it to Yelp because…read moreit's such a cute spot and deserves some extra business when they reopen next season! We had a rental house around the corner and it delighted me to have a little dessert and snack shop nearby. It's a walk up window specializing in soft serve treats like cones, sundaes, flurries, shakes and malts. The ice cream is smooth and dreamy! I had the turtle sundae and it was divine! My mom went for a soft serve with strawberries and we were impressed that it was chunks of fresh strawberries, not a fake syrup. My husband went with an orange float and it was made with local Northwoods soda. It was all so good! They also have a menu of savory snacks like soft pretzels, nachos, hot dogs, pulled pork sandwiches, and sloppy joes. We kept talking about stopping by for a pretzel but it didn't work out so I can't speak much to their savory offerings, unfortunately. The stand itself is adjacent to the GT Butterfly House & Bug Zoo and, upon looking the place up online, I learned that Kettlewell's is the name of a groundbreaking moth researcher and that's the kind of nerdy trivia that I live for. Reopening May 1st so mark your calendars!

If you're getting a side of biscuits and gravy... plan to share it with someone. So many great options to choose from. Don't think you can go wrong with anything you decide on. A few tables outside but mostly inside. Smaller diner with 2 bathrooms (one men and one women). Our server was nice and made sure we were happy with our choices. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on a biscuit and she warned me that the biscuit was too large and advised me to choose something else and I'm glad I did because AGAIN... the biscuits are MASSIVE! And delicious :)

There are limited restaurant options closer to Interlochlen unless we drove through Traverse City. No reservations required. Super busy, but they get people in pretty quickly. Once seated, we started off with the smoked trout and artichoke dip. The dip was fantastic! We could have used more crackers, but we finished it! For my cocktail, I enjoyed an espresso martini. For dinner, my husband and I got the Friday trout special with mushroom risotto and broccoli. My mom got the two smoked meat platter with wings and ribs. To end the night, we shared a slice of coconut cream pie. Delicious! Definitely would stop by again if we were in the area.

A Bellaire classic!

Love a sundae with whipped cream and a cherry and glad it was included at Ruthie's. We did not get chicken but smelled it on the patio haha. Ample seating outside. Friendly hardworking staff.

This was one of the worst experiences I've had a business. Not only was the service horrible, slow…read moreand rude but the atmosphere in the restaurant was gross and tacky. The restaurant was covered in horrendous ai stickers which were being sold for outrageous prices. However the ridiculous pricing didn't stop there. The food was laughably priced. 9 dollars for a sandwich, not including a drink or a side. A side was 7 dollars and a drink 3 and I'm rounding down. When ordering the ladies there were obviously not enthused and had no care on how long people might wait. They even forgot my mother's drink and made her pay for another. Once again the inside was dirty. When the food, ever so slowly, came we sat outside. I will admit that was the only nice part, we sat outside with an umbrella shading us. When finally seeing the food I almost had hope that it might be good, not enough to justify the exorbitant pricing but good. The sandwhich looked big and the onion rings looked well fried. However when I took a bite of the sandwich I was extremely disappointed. Not a lick of seasons and the patty was absolutely disgustingly cheap and tough. You would be better off at McDonalds. The onion rings while more visually appealing were also quite bland. And the size of the large drink was not nearly big enough to justify the price. The real kicker is for three people it was almost 80 dollars. It would be better to eat at McDonalds and get ice cream at fudgee's in the next town over.

Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the food, probably because it wasn't much to look at…read more I ordered poached eggs, but they came out hard-boiled. The sausage gravy was just okay, but I couldn't eat the eggs. I even cut one open and left a half on the plate so it was obvious the yolk had been cooked solid. The waitress never once asked why I wasn't eating them or if there was anything wrong. What disappointed me even more was the service. She never came back to check on us after the food was delivered. When she finally returned to refill our coffee, she was talking to someone else and looking in another direction, so there wasn't even an opportunity to mention the issue. To top it all off, I accidentally left my white Yeti behind. I went back first thing the next morning, and they told me it wasn't there. It's literally the only place I went that day, so that was pretty disappointing as well. Overall, it wasn't just the food. Mistakes happen. It was the lack of attention and customer service that left the bad impression.

And then there's the ice cream, which is always a win. The staff is consistently friendly, the service is great, and everything we've had has been delicious.

Five stars for great treats, fantastic frescas, and wonderful service.
