Ahi tuna, at the bar

The Ahi Tuna was perfection!!!! The Fish N Chips was close to that by just have a bit to much seasoning on the Chips, which over powered the fries. The kitchen was very fast on a busy night, busy time, and also there was a private event. The service was good even while sitting at the bar. The ambiance is fine with clean lines. The postcard with the receipt is a nice touch as that is not commonly seen. Fun Fact!!: There were pirates in Japan!

We were fortunate enough to eat at The Burrow for a private event, and everything was phenomenal. The pancakes, the hash browns, the huevos rancheros, the eggs benedict, and particularly the bacon. The staff were super on top of everything, and it was cool seeing everything being prepared by the kitchen. Big fan, super recommended!

Mussels, came with bread

My husband and I are visiting from out of town came for dinner on our first night. I debated giving a 3 or 4 but based on food it's a 3. The food was just average. We got: -crab cake, slightly over-breaded and a little dry -mussels, pretty good! -steak frites, steak was good, fries were fine -wedge salad with steak, steak was wildly overcooked and barely edible (which is weird because the steak in the other dish was cooked perfectly), salad was fine just a normal wedge -partly cloudy NA cocktail, good! -lemonade, just okay The service was great, the restaurant was busy and the vibes were good which is why I debated giving a 4. It seems like a lot of locals like this place so it feels like it might be a popular spot and have quality food compared to other restaurants in TC.

Tuna
Maryann S.

We loved this place! First off, one of the few places that takes reservations for large parties in TC. Food was incredible across the board. We went during off season but it was easy to get in / out. Staff was accommodating in the big group.

Bar

Loved this spot for brunch. Across the road from Traverse Bay and has its own parking lot. Place is fresh and clean, brightly colored and light. Perfect ambiance for brunch. We bellied up to the bar and the tender was full of fresh energy. Very personable and made us feel excited to be there. We started with bloody Mary's and they were great! Also had a few on tap beers and a really good, not overly stuffed eggs and bacon breakfast. Perfect sized serving. Whole place just has a very good vibe and it starts your day off in a positive way. Would highly recommend this spot as it seems they have really set it up in one of the most perfect ways. My only gripe is the parking lot is a bit small, can be tough to park larger vehicles at prime time.

Hash brown
Zohabe B.

The Burrow is one of the premier brunch spots in TC and for good reason. The ambience is great for a weekend brunch and the service was friendly. The coffee was also solid, but the orange juice tasted like it came from a Minute Maid carton which was disappointing, considering it was $5 for a small glass. The Crab Cake benny was great. The eggs were perfectly poached, the sauces were tasty, the english Muffin was crispy, and the Crab cake had a good amount of crab in it. The Huevos Rancheros were also bursting with flavor and never got boring. Definitely a must try if you're in the area!

Steak and eggs
Jessica M.

Delicious. Just all around delicious. The hash brown was the most delicious, and creative I've ever had. Perfectly cooked- crisp outside, perfectly seasoned. The steak was cooked perfect, and was complimented well by my over medium egg. I also highly suggest the blood orange mimosas- and expresso martinis, both superb. Plenty of seating, and partial views of the lake across the street. Attentive staff, and quick food delivery. Highly suggest!

Omelet
Karen W.

I am on the fence about how I feel about Burrow. The resting beautiful and I felt a bit under dressed even though it was brunch. We were seated at a two top by the windows. Our server was not the friendliest. She seemed mad that we didn't order alcohol. Unfortunately they do not mark their menu with gluten free options and judging by our servers response, they don't seem to educate their waitstaff either. After a few trips to the kitchen our server was able to give me a few options. I ordered the open face omelet, it was quite good. Our server never checked on us and we waited awhile for our check. So food pretty good, service not so great.

Huevos Rancheros
Benjamin H.

We came here for brunch and we were not disappointed! The service was very professional and friendly and you can't beat the outdoor seating. My wife and I both got the huevos rancheros and me oh my it might be the best in the area! The also had some tasty looking cocktails The restaurant was very clean and there was plenty of space inside and outside. We will definitely be back!

We are new to the area. The service was excellent wait, staff friendly, and the ambience casually upscale.

Staff and food are amazing. Start off with the spinach artichoke dip or the lobster stuff…read moremushrooms. My go to is the Salmon Caesar.

If you're in Traverse City, do yourself a favor and make a stop at West End Tavern…read more I stopped in for dinner by myself, and from the moment I walked in, I felt welcome. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable, and relaxed, making it the perfect place to slow down and enjoy a great meal. The service was outstanding from start to finish--attentive, friendly, and the kind of service that makes you feel like a valued guest without ever being overbearing. I ordered the Bone-In Tomahawk Pork Chop, served with balsamic-glazed Brussels sprouts with bacon and mashed potatoes, and it was one of the best meals I've had in Traverse City. The pork chop was absolutely massive. I ordered it medium, and it came out perfectly cooked--juicy, incredibly tender, and with very little fat. It was so tender I could almost cut it with my fork. Every bite was packed with flavor, and it was easily the star of the meal. The Brussels sprouts were exceptional. They had the perfect balance of sweetness with just a hint of bitterness, and once you mixed in the bacon... wow. They were phenomenal. I honestly wish I had taken a picture because the entire plate was huge. The portion size was incredible, and I left completely full. The mashed potatoes were good--nothing extraordinary on their own--but paired with the pork chop they rounded out the meal perfectly. I also ordered a side of the risotto, which was rich, creamy, and served piping hot. It was a little cheesier than I typically prefer, but it paired beautifully with the pork chop. Before my entrée, I ordered the seafood chowder, and it completely blew me away. I'm usually not a fan of onion or celery in soups, but this was hands down the best seafood chowder I've ever had. It was peppery, rich, and packed with incredible flavor. Honestly, I could have ordered a large bowl and called it dinner. It was that good. I would come back to West End Tavern just for the chowder. West End Tavern absolutely delivered. Between the exceptional service, generous portions, perfectly prepared food, and welcoming atmosphere, this was an outstanding dining experience. The seafood chowder alone is worth the visit, but the Bone-In Tomahawk Pork Chop is the dish I'll be thinking about for a long time. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Traverse City.

Tastebud perfection from first dish to dessert. Each dish was creative, perfectly balanced, with wonderful textural components. The asparagus was the best asparagus I've ever eaten. The smashed potatoes delightful. The halibut with mousse was perfection. And that galette was amazing. But the dessert? OMG. The strawberry cheesecake with lemon curd and cucumber sauce was wowzers. Spring in dessert form. Thanks to the wonderful chefs and server Amanda for a delightful anniversary dinner. We hope to be back next time we travel to Traverse City.

There…read morewas one aspect that entire group felt clear on: the high noise level made the experience uncomfortable. There were six of us in our group at a table, and you could only hear the person directly next to you. Our group had a reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant is small, and the tables are very close together and felt packed in. They do have a small roped off 'patio' area on the side walk with a couple of tables. I thought the service was fine, others in the group felt it was poor (probably because no one could hear her and we had to repeat ourselves). The server did recommend that we share several dishes as a table as they are small plates. We ordered the bread and the three vegetable appetizers to start. Here is where it is hard to review: all of the appetizers were fantastic, interesting and fresh preparations. From the light courses section, we had the bougie corn dog and the duck pasta. I'm not a fan of corn dogs, I thought it was fine, but pretentious and not worth ordering, others liked it. I did like the duck pasta. The mushroom tart was boring, dry, and forgettable (side note that if you are in Detroit, Le Supreme's is absolutely fantastic, so this can be memorable). The other stand out was the walleye main, their use of curry made it an interesting, as well as delicious, dish. We all thought the halibut was awful, it arrived with a fishy smell, but was then somehow flavorless. If we were not all splitting it, it would be a send back dish. Overall, the dishes ranged from flavorful and interesting, to terrible. No member of our group felt they would return, and I would recommend against it due to the noise level, it really was that bad. Every sound echoed off of every hard surface. As a result, it just was not an enjoyable experience.
