We ate at The Burrow Tuesday 9/30/25. Matt waited on us and was superb. Food was great and he gave us a glass of wine and dessert for our anniversary! Very bright and fresh interior with a great vibe! read more

Brussel sprouts were over fried & over charred, dressed with balsamic vinegar reduction. 3/5 Steak frites was cooked perfectly (medium) & fries were salted well. Served with a mini bottle of Heinz ketchup. 5/5 Pork tomahawk was cooked & seasoned perfectly, accompanied by smashed potatoes that were bland with a mustard based sauce that wasn't my favorite. String beans were over salted. 4/5 Diver scallops were perfectly cooked, but way over salted, served with crispy bacon that was even more salty, red pepper puree that was also over salted. We were most excited for this dish, but the most disappointed. 3/5. Service was courteous and efficient. 4.5/5 Ambiance was warm & it was well decorated. 4.5/5 Glad we tried it, but did not meet our expectations for a restaurant with nearly 5 stars on Yelp. read more

We had an excellent experience. The food was great especially the hash browns, a must try.

Had a great breakfast here the other day! Booths are super uncomfortable! Service is okay, seemingly depends how busy they are like most places. I would go again, but definitely request a table. Thick cut bacon is a MUST, hands down best bacon i've ever had. read more

Late Saturday night we decided we wanted to go to The Burrow for Sunday brunch. We were able to make reservations online for a party of three at 9 AM. I was quite surprised that there were still quite a few open reservations that late on a Saturday night for a Sunday brunch. We sat in the dining room at a table that was part booth, part freestanding chair. The table was too small for three people and all the dishes, mugs and glasses but we made it work. The dining room had full view of the kitchen and it wasn't noisy considering the open kitchen concept. Now the music was rather loud which made everyone talk much louder making it a bit too noisy for easy table conversation. Everything was clean, including the bathroom!!! We ordered the Crab Cake Benedict, Chilaquiles and Gyro along with the monkey bread, two sides of hash browns, and three drip coffees. The food was all delicious however the English Muffin on the Benedict was burnt and we did not eat it. The hash browns were delicious and perfectly crunchy and soft. Personal opinion- the monkey bread should be a smaller portion and offer full and half sizes. I also think $12 is pricey for Monkey Bread but is does not disappoint at all. It was delicious. Hashbrowns, English muffin, and toast are all sold al la carte so be prepared to pay extra. Coffee was $4, it was tasty but needed to actually come out hot. It was poured and refilled from a thermos carafe and was warm-hot not hot. Our server was professional and attentive, almost too attentive with trying to clear our plates a few different times when we weren't done yet. I'm not sure it she was just trying to make more room at the table towards the end of the meal or trying to scoot us out on time for the next reservation. Overall the experience was a great one and we all would go back, I just wish it wasn't so expensive. For three people it was $80 before tip. read more

Great food. Super cute place. Not far from downtown. I'd go here again, the food was great, the menu wasn't too big, I wish they had more options for vegetarians tho. We tried the blackened fish Sammie, the French onion fondue (although it wasn't really a fondue) the onion dip sandwich, and the regular burger. Overall all great food, my kids loved it all. The malt fries are really a must! read more

Food was delicious! French dip was probably the best one I've ever had...the bread was soft and the meat was fresh and juicy. The crab cakes had a yummy flavor with a breadcrumb crust on the outside! Wish we could have tried more food read more

Once a month we meet for brunch to enjoy the food and service. The Burrow has always been our go to for deliciousness.

My wife and I went to a sister restaurant and were so impressed that we figured we should try this one. The Burrow did not disappoint. We were quite hungry after a full day outdoors ,so we ordered the bread and butter appetizer, which quite honestly I didn't expect to be anything other than a way to fill up. It turned out to be kind of like a nice lightly charred garlic bread but without the garlic. I'm not doing it justice, it was amazing. We both had the steak frites. The steak seems to have had the same amazing seasoned butter the was used on the bread. My wife who normally uses steak sauce said it was too good for steak sauce. I did try the sauce and say it's a toss up, it was great both with and without. The server was on the ball. We noted that it was our anniversary when booking the reservation and multiple staff members wished us happy anniversary. Lastly, we had the apple crisp for dessert, which really topped off the meal. read more

We had a reservation for a Friday night and were seated immediately. The service was great and the food was delicious. We had the steak frites with the brussels sprouts appetizer. Would definitely dine here again! read more

The Burrow has an eclectic menu to choose from the fish was breaded lightly not greasy and had a good flavor. Their malt fries are distinct and good flavor. I enjoyed the side slaw too. Worth a visit. read more

Found this amazing restaurant through Yelp. We were looking for something that was intentional about their food with a nice Traverse City vibe but not over-the-top bougie. The Burrow TC hit on all marks. My teenage daughter had a burger with fries (loved it). Wife had Gyro (falafel) with fries (loved it) and I had the Moroccan Salmon paired with a great Oaky Chardonnay (absolutely loved it). Service was spot on. Highly recommended The Burrow TC!! read more

Traverse City was missing a restaurant like this! Just classic good food done extremely well. Awesome cocktails (squirtsy pictured) EVERY THING we ordered was so damn good. Appetizers: Green beans, tuna, steak tartar. Entrees: fish sandwich, and the burger. Can't wait to go back. Greta service and a super cute patio! read more

Nice spot for a quiet meal with a friend. We went st lunch. The menu had delicious selections, but was not huge. My own options were very limited due to food allergies. I tried the Watermelon Gazpacho soup (huge bowl, should have gotten a cup), and the Chicken Lettuce Cups. I had them leave off the croutons and crispy noodles. The soup was amazing. I really enjoy gazpacho in the summer months and this one hit all the taste buds. Fresh, a little spicy, with a twist of mint. It might have even been more amazing with a drizzle of sour cream to tone down the heat. The lettuce cups were what you would expect. Except, not an Asian flavor, more Middle Eastern or African with the flavor profile. Very seasoned. Almost too rich for just one person. This would be a good appetizer to split. My dining companion had the Scallops. They were delicious and very well presented. I was told that the sides were also heavily seasoned and more filling than expected. Although, she wished she had some dressed greens to go with it. It would have balanced the tasting experience. Some acid to cut through the richness of the scallops and sides. Our server was great! Took cate of all of our needs and answered any questions. As a person with a food allergy, I felt confident that my requests for omitted ingredients would be translated to the kitchen. Overall, great dining experience! Next time, I will try a cocktail. The ones that other diners ordered looked amazing. The price was quite fair for the service, ambiance and food. read more

I'd give 5 stars except it takes very long to eat here because they seem short staffed. Been twice and it was the same both times. The kitchen is at least quick. The crab cakes are phenomenal and the salads are very good. I had a mocktail that I enjoyed. I love that there are mocktails on the kids menu too. The kids menu is great. My toddlers devoured the steak. Food=5/5 but docked a star for slow service likely due to not enough help. read more

We have just completed an outstanding meal. First, the place is tasteful, charming and comfortable. The staff is friendly and efficient. Paige took wonderful care of us, checked back often and really made our experience outstanding. Now... the food. OMG! We were a group of 4. We decided to lean heavily on the apps. The onion cheese fondue was delicious. The mussels were outstanding and we sopped up all the amazing broth. The ahi tuna poke bowl was excellent- nicely seasoned. Then each couple, already pretty full from the amazing apps, split two orders of steak frites. The steaks were done to perfection and accompanied by those fabulous malt fries that I can't resist! And the kitchen split each order in half and served it attractively plated- classy touch! This was an exceptionally awesome meal. We will be back!!! read more

It's fine. Way overpapricka'd lobster on lobster roll. Bagged fries. Crabcake in old oil and not fresh crabmeat (got spoiled by the phenomenal crabcake at 1852 grill on Mackinac island). Giant Parsley Ribbons ruined a good corn chowda. My ahi tuna pole was nice. Server super nice. Drinks were great. I'm sure there is better here read more

The food and service was very good although very limited menu. The restaurant is small with a huge bar so the restaurant was VERY NOISY. We were there for a birthday celebration and could hardly have a nice conversation. I will not go back. read more

Amazing meal!!! The Waldorf wedge salad was the most deliciously unique salad I've ever had. Mussels were incredible. Lobster roll and grouper were delightful too. The only thing that didn't blow us away was the malt fries (very good but nothing special). And the signature cocktail (the black salt rimmed squirtsky) was so yummy we took some home. read more

We had an excellent dinner on outside patio over a week ago. It's my 3rd time eating here and each time I have had quality service and food for the price. Very accommodating too. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

This brunch spot is very clean and modern inside, some would say even a little bit fancy. I ordered the Belgian waffles for $12, given the appearance of this restaurant I believed they would be very good. I noticed that they used krusteaz Belgian waffle mix! I was very disappointed when I realized this. When the food arrived I received one single waffle even though the menu states "waffles". On top of my waffles were a couple strawberries and blueberries and a single soggy raspberry. This was very disappointing considering I could have made this dish better myself with better ingredients. read more

Stopped here on a recommendation from a client for Sunday brunch. Hostess made a great first impression and some awesome menu recommendations that did not disappoint. Cocktail (Naked & Famous) was surprisingly fresh and had unique flavors. Definitely worth a try. Monkey bread sells out fast on Sunday we were told. Nothing short of amazing, especially for people that don't eat such sweets with any regularity. Burger was cooked perfectly. Bun light and fresh! Ice tea is fresh brewed. We will return. read more

I went back to The Burrow with my same friend I'd gone with before. I saw an online posting about the fall menu. Love me my fall foods, but my friend is the one who ordered the pumpkin gnocchi w/ Brussels sprouts. I ended up ordering the shrimp po-boy, I don't really make shrimp at home as I am a perfectionist and I would be annoyed if I spent the money and it didn't come out perfect. Didn't have to worry about that here, deep/flash fried feckin perfection. A lil'spicy, but t'was acceptable. My friend liked her strong drink, cheers! read more

Ate here for the first time today, it was decent I'd go again. My complaint is that I ordered the Gyro thinking it would have lamb meat in it, it doesn't. I then had to look back at the menus to see what was in it an I cracked up, someone guessing whomever wrote the the menu doesn't understand what a Gyro is! What I was served was a Falafel and they termed it a vegetarian gyro, well there's no such thing, Gyro literally means "Meat on a Stick" Pretty sketchy for the restaurant not to know it's food definitions... Also they have a pretty horrible selection of tap beer read more

This place was unbelievable. We visited Traverse City for the weekend, and got reservations here for Friday night. The food was so good that we came back Saturday as well. When we arrived they had our table ready (both nights) and we were seated immediately. We got an appetizer each night, the Brussel sprouts Friday and the mussels Saturday. They were both excellent but the mussels were some of the best I've had. For dinner we got crab cakes and halibut one night and scallops and crab cakes again the next night. All of these dishes were fantastic and thoughtfully put together. The seafood was cooked perfectly and the pairings were excellent. The first night we got the cherry dessert and that was great too. Overall, I highly recommend checking this place out. The prices were not bad and the food was to die for. read more

Great food, lovely ambience, generous outdoor patio. Caesar salad was wonderful. Drink special was delicious.

Fantastic food! We had malt fries with amazing aioli, tomato bisque with little grilled cheese croutons, potato leek chowder, and lamb lollipops. Ordered bowls not cups of soup and FYI they were huge portions. The lollipops were amazing lamb chops, which was unexpected. Definitely recommend going! However, service left us wanting more... it was just okay. But I think that was only our server, as others were more attentive and had better timing. read more

Incredibly noisy environment. Not what I was expecting. To be honest, it was a Saturday night so that may be the norm.

We had a late lunch on their patio this afternoon on our way out of town and were absolutely delighted with our visit! We sat on the patio, in the shade, at a cozy little table for 2. The French onion fondue was SO good as our starter. I would have expected it to be very salty but it wasn't, it was perfectly balanced and the crusty bread it's served with had the most fantastic amount of crisp and char to it! I ordered the falafel Gyro and my partner had the French dip. Now, both of us can be pretty darn particular about certain things but this place was a home run on every level. We both loved our sandwiches (he actually drank the jus after he finished his) and he got the Caesar salad for his side and said it was phenomenal as well.... He rarely says that! We will surely be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Great service, tasty food, warm and welcoming place. Heavy servings, tough to find something light....maybe it was just the heavy items my table mates were ordering sounded good although I knew I should have something healthier, haha. read more

We had dinner at the Burrow on Thursday evening (3/22) and I must say it was fantastic. I had the Black Cod and I am still thinking about how good it was 4 days later. My spouse and another friend dining with us had the Salmon, which was also really good and perfectly prepared, but go with the Black Cod! Everything about the Burrow was good, the atmosphere, our Server named Heaven, was also spot on and a delight. Thank you to the Chef, Brian Janego and team for an exceptional dining experience, for those traveling to Traverse City, put The Burrow on your list! read more
