We are visiting from San Diego and wanted a nice but also casual and fun place for dinner and we were so satisfied with everything this restaurant has to offer. We can't thank you enough.

Traveling in Traverse City for the Fourth of July weekend. After a visit to Torch Lake, we'd seen…read morepositive reviews for The Dam Shop. It was busy but we got a seat inside. We ordered a variety of food and were willing to wait the estimated 45 minutes for a pizza. It's an odd arrangement. A food truck built into the building on the back and a pizza kitchen in the front. There's pagers for the food truck stuff and text messages for the pizza. I got the Elks Rapid Hot Nashville Chicken sandwich double dipped Tim's way. It was an oily mess with no flavor. And definitely no heat. There was also a burger and some tacos and chips and salsa. No one cared for the verde salsa, but my wife liked the tacos themselves. The pepperoni pizza finally came, probably a bit later than hoped for. It was also nothing to get excited about. No real flavor. Drinks mostly come from the refrigerators or the bar at the back which was very busy. Sadly, The Dam Shop wasn't damn good, indeed it wasn't great at all. 2.6 stars rounds to 3.

There's a great indoor space and they have a small dining patio, but anywhere you eat you feel like you're in NOLA. Can't wait to go back in a few weeks!

Fantastic sandwich and pizza option if you're headed to or from Sleeping Bear Dunes!…read more We came across Shipwreck Cafe after stopping for gas next door on the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We wanted a kid friendly option and came in for the pizza, but ended up being blown away by the massive sandwich menu! Don't be discouraged by the line - it moves FAST!!!! The young people at the register and in the kitchen are efficient and so nice!!! We arrived about half an hour before the sign says pizzas are ready, and the lovely man at the register said "sure!" when we asked if we could order a pizza. The menu has something for everyone - Including plenty of vegetarian options (I think they even had a vegan option). I loved my Griffon, and the meat eaters in our group enjoyed the SS Noronic (a BLT) and the Fitzgerald. Our kids devoured their cheese pizza! They also carry Great Lakes Co Chips, which are some of the best potato chips we've ever had. Our sandwiches were all so inventive with delicious, fresh ingredients, amazing condiments, and the most freshly baked "pretzel rolls" ever. If this place wasn't a vacation stop for us, we'd be back all the time! Our kiddos favorite part, bedsides the pizza, were the tiny plastic swords that came in our sandwiches holding them together. When they each wanted one more sword, we went back inside and the staff inside was so used to kids asking for more tiny swords that their response to "May we have two more swords?" Was "Sure! What colors?!" Very different from what the response would have been where we're from. :) We even came back later in the day for the frozen custard!!! All in all, it was a great experience with great food, great service, plenty of outdoor picnic tables under umbrellas, and something for everyone to eat.

Our waitress smiled warmly as we opted for beverage orders. Just as I'm ready to go with the Oregon Pinot Noir, my eye catches a "Black Manhattan" on the cocktail menu. Well they set the fishing hook right into my cheek. Obviously I had to roll the dice. Huge drink garnished with Italian maraschino cherries. Brilliant Concussion! Simply delish! Okay, now on to their small plate listings. I opted for a Seafood pasta, speckled with shrimp, clams & a mussel or two - genius. Linda selected their sliced filet mignon, which you could cut with your fork - perfect medium rare. Also her salad serving was cleaned up with great enthusiasm. Our dear dining friends loved their choices also. Oh I almost forgot, Taylor's French Onion soup was over the top. The room was very pleasant with soft tones and lower ceilings. Now far from me being a wall flower, I inquired about the Chef. Waited for perhaps 15 seconds and simply strolled into the back of the house (kitchen) & asked to met the Chef. Taylor appeared around the corner with the look on his face like "hell's bells this guy didn't like my cooking!". WRONG! Completely caught off guard as I expounded about his creativity and presentations. Love this little gem in Bellaire. Have missed the Rowe Inn & Tapawingo over the years, but the 26 minute drive is SO worth it. Call them for reservations as the staff is limited, but attentive. Hope to met Maggie next visit.
