What a great find in a Glen Arbor especially if you are looking for a quick bite to eat. Found Bear…read morePaw Pizza here on Yelp and since I was nearby at Sleeping Bear Dunes I decided to stop by. It is in a cute hub of a market - I ended up purchasing a cute pullover from them to commemorate my trip. For the pizza i opted for the Bear Down Buffalo Chicken and the cheesy paw sticks. The pizza was phenomenal. I cannot wait for the season to open again in May to order again when I head up North. I took my pizza back with me to Chicago and it traveled well on the journey home. I cannot wait to try other menu options that they have in the upcoming season

Wow!!! This place exceeded our expectations! Since it was in a liquor store we were a little…read moreskeptical with how the food would be but it was really a 10/10! We ordered the Pepperoni, hot honey, cheesy bread and it was DELICIOUS!! The sweetness from the honey and the cheese is an amazing combination. We also got the Carnivore pizza and it was soo good! The sausage was real meat, not like a dominos and it had such a good crust. It almost tasted like it was wood fired because of crispy yet soft dough but the crust was crispy and airy! I would recommend this place 1,000%. While we waited for our food we walked around the town and came back just in time for this delicious meal!!

Always a good time at Art's!…read more My husband loved his whitefish sandwich (he said he may need to have another one before we leave town), and the cherry chicken salad is tasty. The tots with ranch are the best! I loved my grapefruit Northwoods soda with lime, and he had a Heineken 0.0 - grateful for good NA options. Our server was excellent, the food came out quickly, and we enjoyed our table outside. Great laid back atmosphere. We'll be back whenever we're in town!

Art's is an absolute institution & tradition in Glen Arbor…read more Food is pretty decent, we enjoyed the grilled whitefish sandwich & tater tots. Service was very friendly & prompt. Interior is very 'kitschy' casual & 'up north'. CASH ONLY. Either doesn't have AC, or it just doesn't work very well. Fun place.

It's a relaxed but calmly energized ambiance where one feels comfortable to have a chat but also feels fun and exciting at the same time.

Grabbed sandwiches for takeout - delicious! We'll definitely be doing that again…read more This time we had the Market Philly & the Clevelander. Each came piping hot with a bag of chips and a pickle spear. We grabbed a classic bottle of Rock & Rye and a soda from the cooler took our food to go. The staff were friendly and brought out our sandwiches when they were ready. They have a nice bar area and indoor seating as well as a nice outdoor area where we hung out after ordering. The pizza looks excellent - we'll be back to try that soon, too!

We ate here on a recent trip to Empire two times! We had pizza on 12/16 at about 7pm - it was…read morepacked for Taco Tuesday! However, I was in need of pizza! We ordered a medium with mushroom, pepperoni, and extra cheese. It did not take long, and it was perfect. Piping hot and traditional pizza (my fav). It's expensive ($25), but it's worth it, and you tend to see higher prices in destination areas. Max was our server, he was great! So great we went back to try their sandwiches last night! I had the BLT and my husband had the Philly. Both were good, we did not add a side. I wouldn't get the BLT again because I would try something more exciting for the price (LOL). The ambience is warm and friendly, you feel like a local, and if you're lucky you'll meet Max!

Definitely more of a locals place, vibes are immaculate. Started with the pepperoni chips...order these! Gluten free, keto friendly deliciously addicting! I'd order these every time! I had the Salmon burger, and it exceeded my expectations! It's an actually filet of Salmon, no weird patties here. Healthy, fresh tasting, I would order this every time as well! Sweet potato fries had good flavor. Husband ordered pizza and was happy. They have the root beer Friendly's has, which is awesome, because the food at VI is so much better! Service was excellent too! We did inquire about their 4th of July hours, and though they said they were to be open for lunch, they were not. :( I get it, it's a tiny beach town, they can do what they want, but it was a bummer, because the food is special, and because there are so few options. All in all, I wish I was able to try out more of the menu at VI, maybe next time!

On a cold, blustery Sunday in sleepy Glen Arbor, we were happy to find that it was open for business. The building's design is gorgeous, there were birch tree posts and accents, plus a fireplace that was quite inviting. We ordered the side salad to split and two bacon jam with gouda smash burgers. So delish! The side salad was the best I'd ever had in a restaurant; big enough for two. But the best surprise was our server, Patrick. He knows the area well, and we chatted pleasantly about a plethora of subjects. Such a hardworking, intelligent, amiable young man! Felt like we made a new friend. We will be driving over form TC often to eat here!

There was a 15-minute wait, but after 5 minutes, I was quickly seated. I enjoyed sitting outside under the shade while looking at the menu. Our server was very friendly, if not a bit stretched thin. She was running all over the place and was very apologetic, so it didn't bother me too much. She at least tried her best and came over several times to check in. Our orders were taken and the food took a bit, but again, it was very busy. The food was good. Prices were a bit much, but this is Glen Arbor. I left satisfied and would come back again if I were in the area.

This could be the greatest place in Traverse City area. But, it just drops the ball so many times…read more First, service is pretty good - Zack (4 stars). Great ambiance with live music, out side seating, with a great breeze. But the food just doesn't bring it! I ordered a simple burger Med Rare. Server said it may come out med. I said ok as long as it is not dry! Well it came out very dry. When I told Zack he apologized and said he would take it off the bill - We had 8 people drinking, so we had a big bill - but it was not taken off. I know only mention the burger but, the chips and guacamole the chips were old. Noone at table was excited about food. So, if you have patience and can live with mediocre food this is the place.

Good Harbor Grill doesn't look like it'd be a delicious game to table restaurant, but it is!…read more Amusingly, when searching for a place for dinner, we glanced at the menu and passed on GHG, as we felt it was too pricy. But, after staying in the area for a week, we learned everything is pricy up here lol. After passing it up, the owner of the tea shop recommended GHG, so we took our hanger here, and I'm glad we did. It was fun and unexpected when choosing a salad dressing they bring you the entire bottle, even if you're the only person at your table using that kind of dressing. Pros: Chill vibes Good wine list Excellent quality of food. The whitefish was better prepared than what I had in Leland! Cons: Just the price. Was a high quality meal, and the price reflected that. All in all, Good Harbor Grill has amazing fresh, in season food that is worth it!

We had an issue with something missing but it's a 15 minute drive from where we stay so we let it go.
