After moving from a large city into a small town, we were worried about our eating out options. After all, there are literally only two restaurants within 10 miles of us. The Stone Oven is one of those, and it has more than made up for the lack of dining options. First of all, you have great choices despite its small size. Sandwiches? Fantastic! Baked dishes? Amazing! (You must try the baked mac and cheese!) Homemade soups and salads? Exceptional! You will not be disappointed with the offerings. But on top of that, the food is great. I personally recommend the Bakes Mac and Cheese, but can also vouch for their wraps, sandwiches and homemade soups. Each meal is prepared carefully, and the owners and staff are kind and engaging. Don't be fooled by the smallness of the building, the big taste will definitely have you coming back for more. And did I mention how good the baked mac and cheese is... read more

Food is good, Wait times are excessive for simple menu orders(2+ hours) don't order hungry it takes forever. Half the order was ready almost an hour before the other half of the order. read more

Delicious chicken tenders. Get the extra sauce. I'm partial to buffalo and ranch, but there are other choices, too. I also had water and a dessert bar. I will dream about the dessert bar. Lemon poppyseed with a raspberry frosting. Bar was good on its own, frosting took it next level. I love all things citrus. read more

The Stone Oven - Raspberry lemon bar, - Sandwiches Near Me - Lake Ann, Michigan

A very pleasant surprise. We have been coming up for decades and somehow have missed this place. Was looking for a quick sandwich to split. We ordered at the window and stopped in next door, at the brewpub. Great beer and great atmosphere. Then our buzzer went off. We split a Thai Rueben which was a new take but just as delicious. So was the Greek pasta salad and spicy pickle. Perfect! read more

Great food! Service is fast too!! And close to my favorite brewery with the best beer!

Friendly atmosphere great waitress,food and prices. I'd recommend going back kid friendly sit down service or pick up

Good food that you can carry out and eat at Lake Ann Brewing. A large selection of food too, which is great for anyone with picky eaters in the group. read more

Get more than one pizza oven. No one in the civilized world waits 1 .5 hours for a pizza and a salad. Why???? Not like the pizza is the best in the area. Like going to Lake Ann Brewing just hate waiting to get something to eat. We order on the way from Glen Arbor and told 1.5 hours Are you okay with that, what am I going to say, it's the only food in town. read more

Not as good as previous years, but it's the best place in Lake Ann, so who really cares? Forever obsessed with the lamb gyro + fries. The BLT sub and the chicken tenders are always strong contenders for my heart, too. Loooove their ranch. The specials on their Facebook are always suuuuuper good, too. They had beef brisket back in February and I'm still thinking about it. Pro tip: always double check your food when ordering take out. They tend to forget meals on accident. It's really cool that they work with LA brewing, too. Having your meal next door w/ live music is always a treat. read more

Tucked away in Lake Ann, The Stone Oven delivers the goods. The burgers are seriously great--thick, juicy, and cooked just right. The pizza holds its own with a crisp, chewy crust and solid toppings. Big portions, fair prices, and zero pretension. Bonus: one of the best little breweries in Michigan is right next door. Hard not to love this place. read more

The perfect food options to compliment the beer garden next door at Lake Ann Brewing Co. Lots of options (pizza, sandwiches, burgers, appetizers) and very affordable too. Ordering process is also very convenient - you can order online or at the window, then sit at the brewery while you wait. I tried the BBQ Burger which was really good and filling! read more

We are always getting Stone Oven, and overall their food is great! It can be quite a wait during the weekend and busy afternoon hours; Lake Ann Brewery is right next door and there is often entertainment that draws the whole neighborhood in at times. But, it's definitely worth the wait while we enjoy the ambiance, friendly locals and great music. read more

Good food, friendly server, home-like atmosphere. Nice place for lunch during the week. We both enjoyed the chicken jalapeño soup & the taco salad. Northwoods soda is also excellent. Only downside was hearing hip hop/rap music coming from the kitchen, as well as a lots kitchen staff who occasionally swore. Not something I prefer to hear while enjoying a meal. read more

Delicious gluten free pizza, salad, sandwiches, everything! The ranch could be better, because I love ranch with pizza, but the pizza stands alone quite well. Highly recommend! read more

My favorite menu items: the gyro, the stuffed pepper soup, the walleye special, the Italian sub, the HUGE delicious salads, and the mac and cheese! This restaurant also has the best fries in the tri-county area! Order at the window and take a buzzer, then hang out enjoying live music and local brews. Fantastic food at a great price with friendly folks cooking and serving it up. Awesome choice for supper! read more

First I want to say this is review of my 1/6/24 visit only. I have had The Stone Oven Pizza before and that is awesome. But this particular visit, my husband and I drove from Traverse City to The Stone Oven and ordered their nachos. This was the most disappointing plate of chips with lettuce and tomatoes on it. It was a layered pile of plain chips, and the very top had little to no seasoned meat and cheese on it and there was nothing under that but plain chips. I walked from the brewery to The Stone Oven to advise of my disappointment and asked if I could at least get more cheese, to be sold a cold soupy cheese sauce for an extra $2.56. When I told the lady I was disappointed and that there was absolutely nothing on the bottom chips and barely anything but lettuce and tomatoes, she advise this is how they make it all the time. Layered chips with stuff only on the top. DO NOT ORDER THESE. $14.95 for lettuce, tomatoes and chips, and then $2.56 for whatever that cheese stuff was she gave me. I felt like I was being shaken off and did not feel like a valued customer. At first I was going to give this two stars, but after writing it, I remembered how upset I was at my order. read more

Excellent pizza! We ordered a mediterranean and a pepperoni and cheese one. Plentiful toppings and they had a good flavor. The caesar salad was pretty good too! It did take a GOOD 45m for our food to come out if I had any complaint. We ordered our pizza and went next door to Lake Ann Brewery listen to some music and have a beer or two. Your buzzer goes off when your good is ready to be picked up. I'm not sure if it works the same pre COVID. They are probably deserving of a 4.5 but I rounded up! read more

Pleasant enough little hole in the wall, very good super-juicy burger but avoid the coffee which was just brown water. Relatively reasonable prices for this area. I'd eat there again but not have the coffee. read more

I really loved the food and the service. Everyone was so nice to us as well! My family will love coming hear any time of the year. read more

Just happened to be passing through and stopped for lunch. Very glad we did. The dining room is small - maybe 6 tables. The menu runs from salads to wraps to burgers. Service was excellent. We were waited on immediately and the food came quickly. I had the French dip and my friend a turkey wrap. Both were delicious. This is a small town gem. If ever in the area, I will eat here again. I highly recommend it. read more

In the age of COVID restrictions here in MI, we did not eat in the restaurant but rather got take-away and took our food next door to Lake Ann Brewing. Three of us got soup and the special (crab cakes, salad, and macaroni and cheese) and one got pizza. All were very happy with our choices, were satiated by the end of the meal, and still had leftovers to take home to enjoy later in the week. Super friendly service at the restaurant, food was packaged well, and this was a great synergy with the brewery. We will be back again! read more

Stopped in for lunch today and it was great, remodeled since we were last there. GF pizza was really good. The crust was baked so it was crispy on bottom. Cheese and sauce were great. I highly recommend. My husband had the Stone Oven Mac macaroni & cheese. It had chunks of chicken and bacon. Very delicious you can take your food to the brewpub next time read more

For the second time in two months I have been very disappointed with my experience with The Stone Oven in Lake Ann, MI. When ordering the customer is warned that an order can take 90 minutes or more, and they weren't kidding! Considering that the food is pretty much standard quick fare (chicken tenders, burgers, quesadillas and the like), I shouldn't think it would take so long to prepare simple sandwiches and fries. But what I really objected to was seeing similar orders placed well after mine coming out within 30 minutes while I waited and waited for my beeper to light up. When I inquired why this was and how much longer my order would take, nobody was really sure, but I was told that some orders can be fitted in "quicker". I felt the staff was rude and dismissive both times and I don't plan to waste my time or money there again. read more

Good chicken ceaser wrap. Fresh food and tasty. Little bit of wait but worth it. Friendly staff.

Great place! Great food! Only problem is they are super slow to get your food to you so don't wait to make your order about an hour or so early! They added on but didn't expand their kitchen????? Big mistake. Especially with all the business they get from Lake Ann Brewery. read more

Jacob and I scoured Yelp reviews before eating any meal in Traverse City. We wanted to try the best stuff, whether it's the touristy places or the local's best kept secret. We thought we hit gold when we found this place but unfortunately our experience was pretty lame. They're open until 9. We got in around 8:20, thinking we'd have plenty of time to order and eat before they close up shop. We were basically starving at this point and didn't feel like waiting for a pizza to bake, so each of us ordered a sandwich. The server was personable and took our order quickly. Then we waited. And waited. Waited some more. Asked the waitress where our food was. Then they locked the door because it was 9 o'clock, but they still had a list of orders to work on (ours, and for the brewery next door and other carry-outs). If the server had told us it'd be over an hour before we'd get our food because the kitchen was so behind, we'd have just left and hit up another place and try them again another day. Instead, we awkwardly sat around watching all these orders go out the door, wondering when it might be our turn. Our food finally arrived around 9:30. I ordered my sandwich plain, but unfortunately it came with lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. I *hate* mayo, but there's no way I could wait any longer to eat, so I asked for a few napkins and wiped it off the best I could. Jacob's sandwich was good. Neither were "OMG best sandwich ever, totally worth the wait!". The server apologized for the delay and offered to comp my sandwich, which was very nice of her. But still, seeing a restaurant so ill-prepared for a dinner rush is a huge turn-off. This isn't a place I'd return to. read more

The food was very good. Service was friendly but it took longer than expected. My kids were done by the time food got there. I would order Togo and take to the park next time. We did love the pizza. read more

Nice little restaurant near Lake Ann. Menu has a ton of variety and everyone at our table of 6 enjoyed their meal. Kids meal portion of mac and cheese will feed our 6-year old for several meals. read more

Delicious sandwiches! Fast service! Have a delicious beer at lake Ann brewery and the stone oven let's you take a buzzer for when your food is ready! Perfect combo! read more

Absolutely a delightful experience. The staff was extremely busy and helped order during a saturday night rush. Food was well prepared and we all enjoyed a great meal!! read more

White chicken pizza with spinach, mushroom, and red onion pizza was delicious, ready as promised.

We love this place. Their food is excellent: great pizzas and sandwiches and the relationship they have with Lake Ann Brewery next door is priceless. Place your order, go next door, order a drink, find a seat outside and listen to the live music until the food comes. Nice atmosphere with kids running around, good food, good beer and friendly folks. It doesn't get much better!! read more

Great food and service! Pizza is are go to, however, you can't go wrong with their menu!

Oh my god this place has the best max and cheese on the planet. It is so good and comes with a huge portion. The chicken tenders and burgers are good here to. read more

So slow 2hrs wait for 3 subs. And previous wait for 1 pizza 2 hr. Worst service ever

menu says they have a GF pizza, but it's just a nasty prepackaged, frozen grocery store pizza. Snarky gal behind the counter couldn't have cared less about my dietary restrictions that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. My date and I tried to be pleasant to her, but she clearly didnt want to be bothered with us. I would starve myself before going back. read more

We ate at the stone oven several times this summer. The food was always good and the service prompt. We especially like the cherry chicken salad and pizza. read more

This place is a hidden gem. These guys are keeping the menu relatively short and making high quality food not found in a typical small town. It's a page right out of the Gordon Ramsey playbook. I've eaten here many times while in the area to visit my dad and everything has been fresh and hot. The servers are friendly and attentive. The prices are reasonable. Well done Stone Oven team. read more

Amazing food and service! I would highly recommend coming here! My significant other and I love eating here any chance we can!

First time we went hereabout a week ago the pizza was delicious. Lots of issues tonight. Well over an hour 15 to get a pizza. My husband finally went to check and they informed him they burnt the 1st one. The place was closing so the second one wasn't cooked enough. Lots of bubbles in the crust with very little cheese on those pieces. Just not great. Good it wasn't our 1st experience. Consistency is the KEY!!! read more
