    Denver sandwich with sweet potato fries
    Vincent L.

    Great little restaurant in the UP. Price is reasonable and service is great. I had the Denver sandwich with sweet potato fries. Delicious. Try it if you are in town

    Classic Breakfast
    Elizabeth G.

    Fantastic classic greasy-spoon breakfast. The place is always busy on the weekends, especially during the summer, but they are quick and good at what they do. Thank you for always serving bomb breakfast!

    The food is great. They are locally known for their breakfasts. A better omelette you couldn't ask for.

    The service was good, the food was good and the price was right. Three out of the four got breakfast and one mushroom Swiss burger.

    Probably one of the best breakfast I have had. I had the Morning Mix-up. Definitely recommend that and the Heath cookies..

    Stopped here for lunch on our way to Copper Harbor. Had a turkey club on homemade sourdough bread and it could not have been better!

    Good food and enough staff that you can get served in a reasonable amount of time. Great coffee. Skip the hash browns though.

    We had an amazing meal here on our way to Houghton Michigan. The drink prices were super…read morereasonable. My wife's mushroom Swiss burger was amazing with great big chunks of sautéed mushrooms and absolutely fantastic homemade onion rings. My daughter demolished her mini corn dogs. I had the chicken Parmesan sandwich, which was fantastic, and the handcut fries made it even better. Our server, Marianah, was super helpful, friendly, and attentive. We are a little over a week into our trip around the upper Peninsula and this is the first restaurant we have ate at that we all gave an absolutely perfect score to! We will be back next time we are up north!

    My goodness, we had a great time here! The restaurant is right on the waterfront, making it easy…read morefor boaters, beachcombers and land lubbers to stop by. There's ample street parking and easy entry points. The bar is huge! It takes up nearly half of the restaurant and has great views of the bay. The food is good with generous portions. We both ordered the fish fry, mine with a bit of Cajun seasoning. The fish is prepared in fork-friendly bites and was very tasty. The batter was light and stayed crispy until it was all gone. I'm not one to rave about coleslaw but it is good here. It has the perfect crunch and isn't over-dressed (I don't enjoy soggy, wet slaw). Lots of local taps as well, perfect for all of that food. But it's the service, namely Sylvia (Trixie) that makes this a solid stop. She was hustling, greeting everyone, busing food and dishes, all while singing along with the bar playlist. She checked with every table as she went along, never letting anyone feel forgotten or overlooked. As the crowd thinned she had a few minutes to chat with us - she's a friendly ball of energy and an asset to Skipper's. We'd come back and sit in her section anytime!
