Food, ambiance and music were great. Ended up leaving totally relaxed and satisfied. Eclectic menu of Indian and Scottish food. All three meals and dessert were outstanding! read more

Little Traverse in is a cute but also large restaurant that has a variety of English and Indian food. The outside courtyard is very cute and perfect for a summer night. The food was quite delicious too. But the best was the service. Our waitress was extremely helpful and a lot of fun and funny too. We had a great experience here and I plan to come back every year to go out to eat. read more

The walleye and fries were amazing, Cesar salad and wedge salad are delicious, the Macncheese is freaking awesome. The beer cheese and bread were also very tasty. And the cask beer is also so delicious. read more

Walleye was great with the best fries I have ever had. Service is the best. Really great place

Looked forward to a perch fry with our children who were visiting from out of town. To start off, we were sat at a table that was not clean. The perch and the fries were obviously cooked in old grease as they were dark brown in color almost to the point of looking burnt. The special fish of the day was baked walleye. This dish was served up with charred (burnt) asparagus, mushy rice that tasted like soy sauce and a very pale and underwhelming filet of walleye. Service was OK. Would not return, would not recommend. read more

Good food but parts of the building are severely sagging inside the restaurant which sends a bad vibe but again the food was great.

We absolutely love this place! Pleasant, friendly service, great food in a beautiful location. No one leaves here hungry, and the leftovers are to be looked forward to (generous portions). Always feel welcome here. We try to bring friends here as often as we can. Only downside so far... live music can be a little loud so we are sure to get the furthest table away from the stage area. We are there for the food and the service and prefer the music as background to our conversation. read more

Stumbled upon this little Inn on our way to Sleeping Bear Dunes this summer and it was the perfect spot for lunch. We sat outside under beautiful trees, service was prompt, and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend stopping in. read more

Another visit to Little Traverse Inn today was better than ever. Great service. Beautiful sunny day eating on the front patio under the shade of a tree. And Graeme's amazing food. My party today had the Lamb Vindaloo (better than any Indian restaurant), Shepherds Pie and Toad in the Hole. All are recommended. To top it off we had the Sticky Toffee Pudding which is one of our favorite desserts. Little Traverse's was among the best we've had. We ordered the custard on the side - but we should not have been doubters. The custard was a nice addition to the dessert. We will of course be back. read more

I'm sorry, the ambience is fabulous, but I have been very disappointed in the quality of the food. Excellent service

This has always been our "go to" place when we've had guests. I love the Indian cuisine, and my husband loves the British. And the prime rib has always been great! And so we assumed that the seafood dishes would be just as tasty. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. A salmon lover, my husband paid an extra $11 or $12 to have a piece placed ontop of his cranberry walnut salad. It was overcooked and dry! And my baked walleye - a special of the day and accompanied by shoestring thin, overcooked asparagus and mushy rice - was bland and tasteless. We complained to the waitress, who offered to bring us something else, but we declined. The restaurant was quite busy by then, and we didn't want to have to wait for another plate. So we ate what was palatable, and left the rest. Needless to say, this $67 meal was quite disappointing. It will be a long time before we return to the Little Traverse Inn again. And we definitely will NOT be ordering fish again. read more

We had a lovely evening here, the food was scrumptious there was an Irish band playing in the background and the Inn is so charming. We will be back to stay here. Just a cozy place to relax with friends , enjoy great food and be ente read more

LTI was a refreshing surprise along M22 north of Port Oneida. I'd passed it by for years, and ended up going to dinner on a double date. We ate outside with cafe lights and a live music duo. They had a decent wine list for a small business, and the food options were diverse, and included special local favorites such as perch. We all enjoyed the brie appetizer very much, and left happy. Parking lot is gravel and off the road. read more

Incredible, unique menu choices made with skill and love. All ages enjoy the variety. The staff runs between the patio and kitchen with grace and purpose, telling us it's their pleasure! The view and setting are one of a kind. Graeme, the owner, is out and about greeting patrons and sharing in the joy of the live music he thoughtfully provides. Honestly, we owe a debt of deep gratitude to Leelanau Country Inn. The experience there is unforgettably beautiful. read more

Driving along M-22 a few Sundays ago, we were desperate to find a place to have breakfast and a good cup of coffee. We drove by this place and immediately put the brakes on and turned around. So glad we did. Upon entering, we were seated right away (but I would suggest you make reservations as I think we just lucked out in getting a table). We were inside as it was too cold to eat outside in late October. The room we were in appeared to be the living room of the B&B before Covid hit. Waitress staff was very friendly and the facility was clean. The menu looked fantastic. I chose the Burrito & Gravy and D had the Michigan Harvest French Toast. When the waitress brought our plates out I nearly gulped with the size. The Burrito & Gravy was so delicious. Crispy potatoes, pickled peppers, black beans, white cheddar cheese wrapped in a tortilla and then smothered with chorizo sausage gravy. The French Toast was amazing (D & I shared both of our meals). It was made with Bay bread, local eggs & cream, and warm apple butter. Topped with honey crisp apples & roasted walnuts, and Michigan pure maple syrup. I love unexpected treats when traveling! read more

Delicious food, cute interior, and welcoming staff! Thanks for the great meal! 10/10 recommendation the visit!

Went with a large group and service was great! interesting menu selection. Shepherds pie was a great choice.

A hidden gem in Norther Michigan When you see a tuba as part of the band at a restaurant near Glen Arbor MI, you need to stop. We drove by on the way to the beach and had to stop and make a reservation for later that evening when we saw the tuba. While disappointed that we didn't get to hear the tuba (probably the early bird entertainment) the food and atmosphere did not disappoint. We were seated at 7:30 in at very picturesque lawn in front of the Inn (see multiple pictures). After ordering drinks we were served salads (included) with home made dressing ahead of the main course. Everything was great from the perch to steak frites to the Indian inspired Bryiani with chicken tikka. We took our time enjoying the excess famous fries and just taking in the expansive lawn. Another solid meal in Northern Michigan. The Little Traverse Inn Gastro Pub certainly exceeded our expectations. 4.5 stars rounded down to 4 stars read more

This restaurant has been around for decades and continues to have a great charm. The restaurant is a Gastro Pub that has a strong English Pub influence. The owner's passion for taste and traditional flavors is evident in all their dishes. They have a great Shepherd's Pie, London Broil, and even some Indian dishes. read more

Excellent menu and outdoor experience. We recently enjoyed dinner there (two couples). I had the shepherds pie. Delish. We will return. One comment, a server was wearing a politically themed t-shirt. I don't mind these types of t-shirts out in public...but not when I am a paying guest. If the owner is trying to create an inclusive ambiance for its diners, then wearing political messages should be re-considered. read more

Friendly service. Great location and ambiance. An honest review of the food follows; In the words of many chefs " why use a brioche bun ( which is greasy) on a hamburger?" a Kaiser roll soaks in the natural burger juices where a brioche roll just adds another layer of grease - served with the greasy " famous" fries (which are thin, don't hold up to the deep fryer and frankly taste like a Sysco product) and you definitely get a grease overload. It's time for chefs to get back to burger basics and not try to overcomplicate the classic American burger...the meat was fine and perfectly cooked. The additions should be on top of and not stuffed in the burger and really a fried egg on top of something doesn't make it fancy. I don't mean to be harsh or overly picky; just honest, at tourist prices this meal was just ok. Go for the great location, wide range of beverages and friendly service! read more

Made reservations to sit outside and enjoy some drinks and live music. It was a perfect day and the outdoor area was well shaded. Table was waiting for us when we arrived and we were seated immediately. Drinks were very tasty and we decided to order dinner. Wife has salmon salad I had the lake perch. Food came out in a timely fashion and was very good. Wife raved about her fish the entire meal. My fish was excellent as well. 3 drinks and 2 entrees were $75. We left extremely happy. Recommended. read more

Great, eclectic menu that never fails to please. Great, attentive, personal service in a quaint setting. An absolute winner!

Dripping water and possible mold, by our table from the ceiling. Could not eat the rice because it was way too salty...waitress didn't seem to care. Fish was average. Bathrooms were disgusting. read more

Great selection of food - friendly and attentive wait staff - loved the Irish strings playing - a great experience

This was our best meal in the Glen Arbor area! We enjoyed sitting outside listening to live music. So many great options on the menu! We loved the fish tacos, salmon salad, and cherry cobbler for dessert. Highly recommend! read more

I got to have the full experience here...stayed at the inn two nights and had drinks one night, two breakfasts, and dinner the last evening. Everything was great and it was one of my favorite "hotel" experiences. So this is a bed and breakfast about 30 minutes from Traverse City. It was conveniently located for hiking at Sleeping Bear Dunes. Accommodations were simple yet comfortable. No TV or fridge in the room...just a comfortable place to sleep and shower. Breakfast was phenomenal both days. Cinnamon french toast one day with orange syrup and a veggie omelet with a raspberry cream cheese pastry the next. Drinks outside under the trees and lights were great...I had a prosecco rosé that was delicious. For dinner we had chicken tikka masala and the perch basket. Both were pretty tasty, but almost paled in comparison to breakfast. I would definitely make a point of staying here again...Graeme and Michelle were such hospitable hosts...lovely people to talk to and make you feel so welcome. :) read more

Great food, great drinks, great service, unique and wonderful atmosphere. So delighted to find this gem in October when so many places aren't open. A very reasonable drive from Glen Arbor for a much needed change from the standard fried fish, burgers and French fries that are available everywhere else. The menu offers many options for people that don't eat meat and desire flavors other than salt and pepper. The Salmon Bridie was wonderful, the Fish Pie was good but a little heavy on the mashed potatoes and light on the fish. The desserts were wonderful - cardamom made the Cobbler pop and you can't beat an authentic sticky toffee pudding. And delicious authentic cask ale to finish it off- I only wish we had found this place sooner! I see many visits to this delightful pub in our future, and will watch for the live music nights. Our server was also fantastic- unfortunately I didn't get her name. The photo doesn't do my dinner justice. read more

Great food and staff. Enough said, Drop the Mic. No need to say more. Blah blah blah.

We came with friends and we're disappointed with the service, lack of attention and excuses for the problems we experienced.

The best place. Food is outstanding. I had chicken masala. My daughter had the chutney burger. My son had a burger too. Best ever. Best fries. Dessert delicious too. We sat in a shanty then by the fire pit. Love this place. Service was excellent read more

Good lunch....adds a nice variety to area cusine. The pub keeper is Graham, a genial and friendly guy. Specialties are British dishes...I'll be back to try More of this good food!

What a treasure of a find! From being greeted by a man in a kilt, to the unique English fare, this place was above and beyond our expectations. A wonderful place to share an anniversary or a simple night out for dinner. read more

we've had our anniversary dinner here for the last couple years because it's a cool fun place, maybe because it was on a Sunday this year, it was off, there seemed to be only one person running the front of the house, there was a slight sewage odor, that when we asked about it she just said 'don't get me started' my wife's meal felt microwaved blazing hot in spots and cold in others, and mine had no seasoning... maybe it was just an off day? read more

Our group got an AirBNB up the road, we were playing board games for several hours when we became famished and require sustenance from the local gastro pub. We look around and scamper over reserving a fantastic little shanty, we could tell it had been sanitized very well. As soon as we walked in we were greeted but the friendliest and most charismatic gentleman working at the bar. We were seated quickly and served by the wonderful superstar Genevieve who was the most accommodating. We all ordered a variety of dishes from the crispy yet juicy chicken to the bountiful harvest of fish and chips. The soup of the day was immaculate and after seeing the reviews about salad it's clear some people don't know what a wedge salad is. It was delicious. Overall blood good time full bellies and refueled for game night. read more

It has a nice patio area with some lovely trees. But our server seemed not to know much or maybe just didn't care. The menu was eclectic and seemed to display some ambition especially with the Indian cuisine. But the Indian dishes were mediocre at best. You call that Biriyani? Fried fish and chips was decent. Server never came back to see how things were. Other servers seemed nice but this one was not at all helpful. read more
