If you have not had UP North Cafe's breakfast sausage links, you're missing out. I travel all over the world and haven't had better. The locals are extremely friendly, I envited myself into a group of locals who meet there to share coffee and chat. They welcomed me just like they knew me my whole life. The owner of the restaurant remembers my name and acknowledges when I come in. Again, I'm only in town a few weeks a year. Excellent Friday fish fry as well. Best in town I'd say. If you haven't been there or it's been a few years, the place has had some remodeling and is nice and welcoming. I'd give it 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Try the breakfast sausage links, you'll be glad you did.

She was very friendly and helpful, even though she was kept quite busy mixing drinks for the other diners. I ordered the Jagerschnitzel with a small side salad. The "small" salad was quite large and very fresh. I can't imagine how big the large salad is! My Jagerschnitzel was good. I would say I would have a lighter breading would have made it even better, but I'd still recommend. Tonight was a " Chamber of Congress" type evening in Houghton. I don't imagine 80 degree nights happen a lot way up here! The great weather brought a lot of people out and about enjoying the river walk and downtown. The restaurant had to limit the number of people seated because they must have been at capacity for their staff.
