    One chicken and one beef pastie plus gravy
    Lea C.

    As we are in the UP, we were told we must try a pastie and this place had decent reviews and was right up the road. First impressions, they definitely have some heft to them! The outside baked crust is crisp and tasty. My husband's beef pastie was filled with beef, similar to other posters pictures and he really enjoyed his. Everything was hot too I have a tough time eating beef so opted for the chicken option and while my sandwich was tasty, it was truly 95% potato, a tiny bit of carrots and just very, very little chicken. Maybe I got the bottom of the bowl or something, but it definitely needed more protein. He did have a veggie option available today as well. This place is super popular spot and the sandwiches are $8.50 each, we ordered a gravy, as per other Yelp recommendations and we shared that. It was an additional two dollars. He gives you a lot gravy!! Parking is very limited out front, but we found people were in and out pretty quick. There are a couple picnic tables where you can sit and eat but honestly, he really just doesn't have the room for that so get it to go. The owner seems super friendly, and I love the fact that so many people are supporting his business. Another UP box checked!

    Beef Pasty and gravy. The pasty was excellent and the gravy was good.

    We had heard that Lehto's pasties are a must when visiting the UP. I had a beef pasty and it was wonderful! I ordered the gravy, it was good, but it really wasn't needed. The lady at the counter was kind and helpful. It was a great experience and we will definitely return when in the area!!

    Stopped here while crossing the Mackinaw bridge. The pasty was ok, nothing to go crazy over. The location is good for convenience. The guy working there was nice.

    "I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet But guarding fumes and making haste It ain't my cup of meat" (Bob Dylan) Today I sampled for the first time in my life a Michigan favorite food known as a "pastie". I also learned how NOT to mispronounce it. Say "Pastie" so it rhymes with "Nasty", not like it rhymes with "Tasty". It's a hand-held meat-and-vegetable pie that goes way back over centuries in English history. Want proof? Well, how about learning that Geoffrey Chaucer wrote about them in the 1400's. They were a food staple for English mineworkers due to their portability and convenience, and when English immigrants came over to work the Michigan iron mines in the 1800's, Pasties gained a foothold in the U.S. Lehto's sells 3 pasties - beef, chicken and vegetables. When we walked in, only the beef variety ($9.01 after tax) remained. It was a pretty big "croissant-like" pastry filled with a thick blend of Beef, Potato, Onions, and Rutabaga. Seriously, it was a big portion, certainly big enough for two as an evening snack. It was delicious, plain and simple. Customer service was great, and our server hooked us up with plastic silverware and paper plates to take our prize back to the hotel.

    Forgot to take pictures of the pasties as I only got frozen ones and ate them later. But was pleasantly surprised at how well they turned out after a few days still. Definitely pretty good in terms of taste and quantity for the price. However the only reason I gave them only 3 stars instead of 4 is that there is not much of a menu selection to choose from. In terms of pasties themselves, I would've loved if I could get more than just one flavor from them.

    Delicious! Definitely stop here for pasties if in St. Ignace First, what are pastys? The Upper Peninsula is synonymous with the pasty (pronounced PASS-tee), which are handheld meat and veggie pies - typically root veggies like potatoes, carrots and rutabaga. Lehto's is on the main street, across from the lake. It's pick-up only, no seating inside. Family owned since 1947! They offer beef, chicken, and veggie pasties And gravy on the side. As well as Chili, soup, and cookies. Lehto's pasty is hoagie shapped (oblong vs. a round hand pie) Their filling was super moist, so it didn't really need the gravy, but we wanted to try the full experience! It's very tasty and filling! We'd definitely go back Other: Bottled drinks are available There are picnic tables on the side to eat outside. A very small parking lot and then nearby street parking My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value

    We picked up a beef pasty and a vege pasty, also smoked white fish. Delish. We always seek out Letho's, as the pasties are the best.

    Nice sized pasties. We planned on them just being an afternoon snack. Quite filling. We had a beef and a chicken.

    Super delicious! Really recommend the gravy. There isn't anywhere to eat inside, but there are picnic tables outside!
