OMG!! How fortunate was I to stumble across Fatbelly! I was recently in Traverse City for a…read moreconference and came across this little gem by a pure stroke of luck! It's a very small operation that is attached to a party store but don't let that fool you. The way it was working the day I visited was you placed your order inside and they brought it out to your car. I had the "Republican" which was a traditional club and let me tell you it was very good! It had great toasted bread and it was assembled with care, it was delicious! It came with some crunchy salt and pepper kettle chips which was a good addition. So if you find yourself needing a fantastic sandwich and are in the area give Fatbelly a try, you will be pleasantly surprised!

I chose River House Grill this trip since it was a beautiful night, and on the water. While getting off the interstate and heading in to town, I noticed this eerie presence, nothing was open, signs were dark, stop lights not working... I got to River House and a few regulars were still milling around the bar, I was told they were closed due to a power outage throughout the entire city. After some conversation, they said if I had cash, I could still buy a beer (always carry cash!). The regulars moved on, and I was finishing my drink when the power comes back on! The owner Mike had already sent most of his staff home, as the estimated power restoration was well beyond their normal operating hours, but he said he would turn the fryers back on, and start the pizza oven since I was there. I told him he didn't have to and I would head back to East Lansing, but he insisted, at this point I was the only one in the place! Ordered a pizza, and boy was it delish! By the time my pizza had arrived, a few others had managed to come in and fill up the place! Thanks to Mike, Jen (bartender) and the staff who stayed! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu, and see the renovations next time I'm in the area! Cheers!

Yeah, they probably have it. Cold grab-and-go sandwiches, hot made-to-order sandwiches, pasta salads, charcuterie, chips and dips, crackers, drinks... seriously so much to choose from. I went with a cold sandwich and it was way better than I expected. It tasted fresh, felt gourmet, and definitely wasn't your average deli sandwich. Everything looked really fresh too. The service was super friendly and efficient, even with people coming in and out, and the shop had a fun, bustling beach-town vibe that got us even more excited for the day. This is absolutely going to be a must-stop anytime we're in the area. Highly recommend!

We did come on a Sunday for lunch so I'm sure their high demand time. Then when we got our order it was missing one of the sandwiches, so that took another 7 minutes to get. I also had to check on my order as I saw others getting theirs before ours. Bathrooms ran out of soap and paper towels. The process for getting your food was a bit confusing as there wasn't any order numbers so you couldn't tell how many other orders were in front of yours. Would only come back if I had plenty of time to wait for food.

I also ordered two coconut macaroons, which weren't too sweet and hit the spot. This place is extremely crowded and busy so make sure you plan at least 30 minutes ahead. Wait time is long and I wouldn't recommend if you're too hungry. It was definitely very very hot day so the place was pretty stuffy, but I don't blame the deli itself, but fair warning. It's quite busy as the chef is award winning when I looked up her name online.

A 1/3# patty, apple maple bacon jam, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and crispy onions, on a toasted butterhorn roll. This was an excellent burger, the beef was high quality and delicious. The bacon jam gave it a slighty sweet, yet savory taste. Everything merged together perfectly to create a burger I definitely want to eat again. I got applesauce with it that was very good. I got some Cinnamon Rolls to take home and they were fantastic. I also got a Raspberry Cream Cheese Roll. Basically raspberry instead of the cinnamon mixture and it works. Definitely a home run. The service was fantastic. Super friendly and helpful. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? Absolutely, this is worth the 90 minute drive. Both Cinnamon Rolls and Burgers deserve their spots on the best of lists.

Everything bite was lovely so we picked up 3 large cinnamon rolls to take home at the counter. There were 3 tipping options on the credit card terminal ranging from 20% to 30% on the total amount! I promptly selected the custom option and added my self-calculated amount based on a reasonable and respectable percentage on the pre-tax total of the dined-in portion. I'm glad I did my math at the table before going up to the cash register.
