Teddy Griffin's is absolutely tremendous. I was absolutely blown away by the place and it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in some time. First off, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Old school (kind of reminded me of the 70s), good amount of televisions and a lively clientele. Just a very good place to retire to and relax after a day on the golf course or the slopes (Teddy's is right by the Boyne Golf and Ski resort). If you did a quick scan of Teddy's, you would maybe think it was a glorified bar. And you'd be dead wrong. Their food is incredible. My Dad and I each had their North Atlantic Salmon. My dad had his New Orleans Style, with the shrimp and cajun cream sauce on top, andI had mine Pan Grilled with the sun dried tomato pesto sauce. If you factor in every facet of the meal, it may have been the best Salmon dish I've ever had. Both versions were tremendous. Before I get started on the Salmon itself, your choice of side along with a vegetable came with the meal. I got the Potatoes Au Gratin with mine. And I would rank it (conservatively) as a Top 3 Potato Dish that I've had in the last 10 years. I go out to eat quite a bit. Have had a lot of potatoes. Written a lot of reviews. These Potatoes Au Gratin genuinely shocked me with how good they were. They were not complicated (I don't think they even have breadcrumbs) but the cheese flavor on them was just perfect. Like I ate my entire side in about 3 minutes. The only Potato dish I could say comes close to tastiness is Slo's Sweet Potato mash. Incredible side. Now this takes me to the Salmon. The Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Cream sauce is one of the 5 best sauces I've had in the last 10 years. Beyond tasty. I didn't really know if the "pesto" could be incorporated into the sauce heavily (tomato pesto is a pretty rare dish for restaurants to have, much less do well) . I was proven wrong. Sauce had a tremendous pesto flavor and managed to balance the cream and the other ingredients within the sauce perfectly. The only Tomato Pesto I've had that would even be comparable was at Tony's restaurant in Disney World 20 years ago, and I don't even think it's on the menu anymore. An absolutely must try sauce. And they give you tons of it Salmon was perfectly grilled,flaky, moist and had a great, mild flavor to it. You got a nice big piece of it as well. It, along with the sauce, made for one of the best meals I've had in some time. I had some bites of my Dad's Cajun Style and the fish was perfectly blackened while being accompanied by another great sauce. You can't go wrong with the salmon. Our sever Connie was incredible. Drinks were refilled constantly (despite there being a giant crowd at the restaurant) and she was extremely pleasant and informative (it was Connie who steered us towards the amazing Salmon) Absolute 10/10 spot. I'll be back! read more

This is still a local fav when we're "up north." Visited on a Wednesday evening in August and the place was hopping. Lots of golfers and visitors mixed in with lots of locals. The bar is always a great place to meet people and talk IRL, like we used to do. The food is good, dependable and consistent. Service is great. It feels like one of the few places in the area that is fully staffed. Overall, Teddy's is always a good choice. read more

There's something comforting about a place that never changes, like visiting with an old friend. The menu evolves but the decor is the same. The sautéed whitefish was a generous portion, smothered in a lemon caper sauce. A nice side of au gratin potatoes and crispy green beans rounded out a delicious dinner. Don't forget the Ted Bread - flaky inside with a crispy top. Reservations taken for parties of 6 and up. Parking a challenge during popular dinner times. read more

We were seated immediately and greeted with genuine kindness, which meant a lot to us. As a biracial family, feeling welcomed and respected is important, and the staff set a positive tone from the moment we walked in. We were a party of five. The only drawback was the table size. It felt a bit tight for five people once the drinks and plates started filling the space. Aside from that, the restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms, which is always appreciated. Our server was prompt and attentive. She quickly took our drink orders and returned shortly after with them, then took our food order without delay. The kitchen moved efficiently, and our meals arrived fairly quickly. Dinner came with one basket of bread and butter, with additional baskets available for an extra charge. We also ordered three desserts, which were decent and a nice way to end the meal. As for the food, the lamb stood out and was very good. The steaks were solid and well prepared. The chicken Alfredo was a bit too heavy on the cheese, making the sauce thicker than expected. The mushroom ravioli with beef delivered strong mushroom flavor, definitely generous on that front. For five people, including three desserts, our total bill came to $246. Overall, it was a good experience with attentive service and mostly enjoyable food. read more

Food and service are always great. Diba is a long term employee who always goes out of her way to make your experience fabulous. To the person that wrote a review about closing early (before 930)......Teddys has NEVER been open later than 9 for food. So it appears Mr Nasty Reviewer, that they were trying to do you a favor! read more

This was a cute place with good - home cooked tasting food. We started off with some house rolls for the table. They were warm, doughy, with a sprinkling of poppy seeds and had a sweet flavor to them. For my main I went with their Ale Battered Walleye Fish Basket. The fish was super moist and flakey while the breading was crisp and didn't have any soggy spots. It came with some coleslaw and fries. Both of which were good, but the fish was definitely the star. I also was able to try their liver and onions as well as their sweet potato fries. Can't say I am a big fan of liver but the meat was tender and melted in my mouth. Their sweet potato fries were great and if you're a fan, I'd recommend you upgrade to those rather than the standard fries. All in all the food here was good, the staff was friendly, just be aware that their beer menu is extremely limited. Currently a 7.2 on my Beli, I think the Roadhouse is a great spot to take the family for a nice dinner. read more

Service is always superior. Food is fantastic. I'm a Local and I've never had a bad meal at Teddy's. I love getting their steaks but their fish is delicious too. They have a good wine and beer selection. The atmosphere is relaxing with that Up North feel. It's even kid friendly. The kids like ordering pizza. read more

This place rocks. It's out of the way and could be considered a hidden gem, but it's definitely a local hang out. The menu is a perfect blend of selections that aren't something you can get anywhere but at a fine dining establishment. It is pricey but a wonderful dining experience in a relaxed atmosphere. The waitstaff and bartenders were very hospitable and knew everyone that came in. We were not regulars and were treated as if we were. The prime rib was a common plate at our table, rave reviews. I had the lamb shank, and was the best I'd had. It was so tender and delicious. Lamb chops were also recommended and the reviews from our party were very positive. You can come in jeans, shorts or more formal if you want. I don't recommend dressing to the T as it is quite relaxed. You won't be disappointed. read more

We stopped in after a day on the water around 9:15 p.m. and waited at the hostess stand, which was unattended. When an employee walked by, we asked if they were still seating guests. Instead of a simple yes or no, we were told, "It's not 9:30 yet?" We replied that it was 9:15, and the employee said they needed to check with the kitchen to see if they wanted to serve us because the kitchen closed at 9:30. After checking, they came back and said they could seat us, but we would have to order immediately. I asked, "Do you want our business or not?" The response was, "It's up to you if you want to." I replied that I was simply trying to understand whether they wanted us to dine there and spend money, and the response again was, "It's up to you." At that point, we decided to leave and eat somewhere else. Unfortunately, this wasn't an isolated incident. We've visited multiple times over the years, and the service has consistently been underwhelming. We understand restaurants have closing times, and we would have completely respected being told the kitchen was closed. What was disappointing was feeling like our business was an inconvenience rather than being welcomed as customers. We won't be returning read more

Loved the food and service. Packed restaurant on Friday night and we had 12 guys in our golf party. Just a great hometown feel with great quality food. So close to Boyne resort so it was convenient. read more

I ordered the chicken piccata with a creamy sauce on pasta served with green beans. The food was absolutely delightful! The service was amazing and the restaurant was beautiful in the snowy night and warmed by their fireplace. The serving sizes were very generous; most of us brought our leftovers home. It was like having two dinners for the price of one. read more

This is a great spot! Good food, attentive staff--and fun bar! This is definitely a good pick!

I have the mushroom ravioli wasn't a fan but maybe it's just because it was me. My husband had the chicken parm which he loved we had dessert which was amazing and then the dessert drinks were even better. Do plan to go back to try more. read more

Always great food and service... this place delivers every time! Solid menu and staff...

I'll sound like an old guy pining for the good old days, but I remember a fun time, friendly staff, outstanding food and an interior full of fascinating hockey memorabilia. Our recent visit was disappointing. Good food but overpriced, felt rushed by the staff, most of the decor replaced by typical stuff. Okay. Still good. I'd still return. But I remember... read more

Always fantastic! Whether you are here for seafood dinner in the restaurant side or pizza, burgers with a cocktail or beer in the bar side, Teddy's always delivers! Pizza is world class. Seafood always fresh & pours are generous on cocktails & glasses of wine. We tend to favor to bar side where veteran barkeep Richie is fabulous & Christian & Eric are young wells who are close behind. Ordering from the apps is a steal - perch stack is the best & the cocoanut shrimp is also the bomb. We make Teddy's a regular stope every time we are in HS! read more

The walleye was the best I have had in a long time in fact all the food we had was excellent the service was amazing and the restaurant was great we will be back read more

We must of showed up on the wrong day and wrong time. It was very busy with an hour wait. It was our anniversary so decided waiting would be fine for good food. Everything looked great going by. After an hour we were offered 2 seats at the bar since there was 5 tables still ahead of us. During that time at the bar two bar tenders went round and round and didn't acknowledge us. Finally after 10 mins of anxiously staring at the menu and waiting for someone to just say hi and welcome us one of the bar tenders asked if he could help. Gave us our drinks ...ten more minutes go by and nothing about specials..can I help you...we asked to pay for our drinks. The manager cashed us out and offered a beer on the house but the mood was already soured. We decided to leave and go celebrate elsewhere. Super disappointed but hopefully others have a better experience. read more

We happened upon this place as we strive to not eat at chains when traveling. My husband is a die hard prime rib snob but I talked him into the filet mignon and in his words, "it's the best damn steak I have ever had." We were in right before closing and had no wait other than for our check at the end of our amazing meal as the staff got busy with closing duties. I'm sure my husband will be dreaming about his filet and we will be sure to visit again! read more

Amazing, kind, and flexible servers. For was delicious food. We had the Walleye, blue cheese salad, and carrot cake. Great for families. Made my special day even more special. Looks nice, very clean, and pretty on the inside of the building and outside. Best of all they make their own blue cheese. Don't understand why this place doesn't have 5 stars! read more

The Lake Superior Walleye Pecan Crusted and the White Fish was delicious and you should try it. We had the most amazing attentive server. You must try this place. The atmosphere was fun and semi loud but very welcoming. Will come back here when visiting Michigan again. read more

I was honestly surprised that Teddy's didn't have more reviews - it seems like a staple in the area, especially for folks visiting the Highlands resort. The menu options were plentiful and creative, and clearly there was a legacy driving this place - really great food, great service, and cool atmosphere. Really impressed and we will definitely be back next time we head up to the Highlands. read more

Been coming here for 30+ years. Always and still excellent. Starting with Ted Bread and Frog Legs! Broiled whitefish was perfect.

I am very much a fan of Teddy Griffin's Road House here in Harbor Springs, MI and I look forward to enjoying dinner there whenever I am in town as their food, atmosphere and especially their staff make every visit a very pleasant & enjoyable one! However, during my latest stay in Harbor Springs, I was especially appreciative & grateful of my many meals at Teddys! Normally I'm only able to enjoy a week or two at a time 'Up North' but this time I've been in Harbor Springs for almost 3-months, which afforded me the opportunity to enjoy many evenings at Teddy's. Just after Thanksgiving, my girlfriend & I enjoyed a delicious meal in the dining room in front of the fire and our server JORDAN was friendly, professional, fun, knowledgeable & just made our dinner that much more enjoyable. We appreciated her recommendations, and she was attentive without being intrusive. Many of my meals were at the Bar where ERIK, RITCHIE & MARK, who between them have been helping to make Teddy's the great establishment that is for 20+ years, man the Bar. Even when the place is packed and they are working furiously to serve everyone at the bar & at the bar tables they are friendly, efficient, professional & attentive. They really know the menu and can offer recommendations based on what customers think they might like. When things are a bit slower & they have time, they are fun to talk with, have great stories and have great local knowledge to share about what to do and where to go. I cannot recommend Teddy Griffin's Road House highly enough! While they have a great menu, with lots of choices featuring the local fish like Perch & Whitefish ... you will even find 'frogs legs' which have been a staple on the menu for years ... all of which is served consistently delicious and the atmosphere is fun & relaxed...it's the Staff, most of whom have been there for a long time, which keeps bringing back the locals & visitors over and over again! read more

Food and service are excellent! Have been going here for 30 years! Perch for 2 is really great. Au Grattan potatoes and Ted bread are to die for! read more

Teddy's is a must stop during our trips to The Highlands. This is an upscale bar/restaurant with a casual feel. We ate there twice this year and weren't disappointed. The prime rib special on Saturday night is worth stopping for. Get there early since they only have a limited number of servings. When it's gone it's gone. The fish is also good and they have several choices. Our server was friendly and efficient. We had the same person both nights and were glad we did. read more

Do not recommend I (an 11 year old)ordered penne which we got with shrimp that was 14!!dollars which was never stated for 4 pieces of bad quality shrimp then I said that was bull crap you should have said something about it being $14 and that it was for three pieces Then she got defensive and said I'm counting four and then brought the menu back and show that it was a $14 up charge which we did know which was true and was being very overall nasty and rude The food was fine nothing outstanding french soup was delicious. I try to bite my father's steak what she asked for medium and got well done afterwards the past ended up costing more than the fillet steak which is what I was going to get, but didn't want to break the bank very over priced bad service the ambience was nice instead go to pour read more

I've read through a few of these comments, and I'm not sure if people have broken taste buds, or only eat bland foods? Teddys is a staple for a reason. The ambiance a mix between sports bar, and comfort dining. The food is ALWAYS consistent, which is something a lot of restaurants struggle with. I am a creature of habit and order the same couple things every time. The service is never awful, so you can't really complain about "slow" service when they are packed to gills. You aren't the only person dining, and for you to think you're more important than the rest of the patrons is actually hilarious. Some of my favorite things to order are: *Dinner salad with the homemade blue cheese. *Dill salmon with au gratin potatoes. *Cajun Calamari. *Cajun chicken pasta. *Fettuccini Alfredo *French onion soup. *Prime rib. *Pizza. *and basically any sandwich on the pub menu. read more

Absolutely awful. Pecan walleye was inedible...so salty. Asked for Grey Goose martini, no vermouth, blue cheese olive. Got a dirty martini with pimento olives. Mussels didn't seem fresh. Au gratin potatoes were undercooked. No refills on water. Nice waitress, clearly overwhelmed and poorly trained. They offered us a discount of $15 off the total bill because I didn't eat the walleye. Learned our lesson, won't be back. By the way, the couple at the next table sent back their steaks for being undercooked. read more

Great food, great service! The pecan crusted walleye and French onion soup are not to be missed.

This is our go to place when we are up in Petoskey Michigan. Waitress staff are always friendly! They have unique food. First you are served crackers with a great dip. Second order is fresh bread very tasty. There speciality is ribs and perch. They also have awesome deserts we always get the cheese cake with the health bar on it. Please check this place out you will not go wrong! read more

After a short wait we were seated by the fireplace. They started us off with this cheesy pimento spread that we put on table crackers and fresh bread. It was slightly zippy and unique. After that I started with a nice full bowl of broccoli and cheese soup. It was flavorful and delicious. For the main course I had a salad. It was amazing! The goat cheese and candied nuts really added a lot of flavor. It had plenty of mixed greens and onions. My only problem with this salad was with the grapes that were in the salad. They were cut in half, but had seeds still in them. The first bites into it were texturally off and bitter. After I realized that, the rest of the salad was great. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. It is a little pricey so keep that in mind. read more

The food is incredible. The service is friendly and nice. Typical of this area of northern Michigan- the servers are so kind and you feel as if they are your neighbor and welcoming you to their home. The ambiance is cozy and it seems typical until you get the big surprise- how delicious the food is. I had the pan seared perch, and it was perfect-light, flaky cooked deliciously. read more
