They do not take reservations. Pay parking lot was beside it. There is outside and indoor seating. Our server Gracie was great. She answered all questions and gave suggestions like omelettes and benedicts. Great service. Pork belly was fall-apart tender! It melted in the mouth. Flavorful. We enjoyed the BLT and pork belly. Very good experience here! read more

This might be the best restaurant experience I've had in a long time. Every bite of our food was delicious. We ordered the veggie omelette and the Chicken Benedict. Perfection. The food came with some lightly dressed lettuce that was refreshing and tasty. I did not expect that to be such a highlight. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the vibe of the place was warm and inviting. read more

It's been over 7 years since we've last been and the food is still just as good as back when we first had it maybe even better. The porchetta was phenomenal! You have to try it with the house made hot sauce. The server recommended us to try it and we ended up buying a bottle to take back home. read more

Beautiful courtyard feel outdoor seating as an option. Tables are far apart which is nice. Food was so good! Loved that everything was different than what you would usually see at a brunch place. I wanted to order everything. Also our server was so kind and gave us his favorites. We had questions about the beach too and he answered all our questions. Will definitely be back when we visit again. I got the short rib Benedict. The twist was instead of an English muffin it was fried polenta with horseradish sauce. The horseradish was not overpowering. I also had a bite of the surf and turf. Delicious and interesting! read more

We wanted some brunch and stumbled across this restaurant on Yelp. This place seems very popular! When we arrived there was a good amount of people waiting for a table. We put our name in for 3 and was estimated 45 mins. We waited maybe 20 mins. Not bad! They don't do text to let you know the table is ready so you have to stay close to the restaurant. I like the text option so we can roam and shop while we wait. But we didn't wait long we just walked down the street to get a coffee, came back and the table was ready. We got the Chicken Benedict and the Regular Benedict. Both were super yummy! The friend chicken one was so good it was on a potato. There aren't any kids meals, but they do sides of most things. We did a side blueberry pancake and eggs, she loved it. Our server Lauren was really friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed our brunch here. It's not super loud in the restaurant either so you can relax and eat your food with your family. We saw people order the Grilled Cheese and we kept eyeing it! We want to come back to try that! read more

We ate here for breakfast, and it was amazing! It's our first time visiting traverse City. We asked our server at dinner (Taproot Cider House - definitely recommend!) last night where to go for breakfast, and she suggested here. We love a good local breakfast and brunch eatery, and this place did not disappoint. We had wonderful service, and the food was delicious. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We sat outside in their beautiful courtyard. I definitely recommend eating here! read more

Brunch here was awesome. Hubby had the pulled pork in puff pastry which was so delicious. I had the root vegetable gratin which was basically like a veggie lasagna. It was one of the best brunch dishes I ever had. Service was 10/10. Friendly and attentive staff. Atmosphere is casual, no frills ambiance. We will be back for sure! read more

My boyfriend and I were up in Traverse City with my dog for a weekend, so all the Google searches for food had a requirement of "dog friendly." This place was an incredible find. No wait for a table. Service was absolutely top-notch and so kind. Food was incredible as well. My Tasso Benedict was a generous portion and incredible quality. My boyfriend is still talking about the gnocchi that he had. We will absolutely be back. read more

This is a good combo. There were a lot of veggies in the omelette and the sausage patty had a sweet/salty taste. The bib lettuce was a refreshing in between bites. The outdoor patio was perfect for a summer morning. read more

We loved The Towne Plaza. This was our first stop when we made it to Traverse City for a long weekend. We had to wait for a table for about 10 minutes, but considering the time of day and being on a weekend, we were sat quite quickly. The inside of this restaurant is small with pretty limited seating. They do have a very cute court yard with tables which is where we opted to eat. Our server, despite being obviously very busy, was very good and attentive to us. We got the traditional eggs Benedict, chicken and potato waffles and shared an order of the French toast. Everything was amazing, we especially loved the potatoes for both dishes. The French toast was delicious! It was something between French toast and bread pudding. It had raisins and cranberries and was the perfect amount of sweet. Just delicious! read more

I love a good breakfast spot, and a local we met at dinner the night before recommended The Towne Plaza for their Benedicts specifically. Nate and I wandered down from our Airbnb and got one of the last open tables on the big patio. The patio is so lovely! It was mostly shaded when we were there, and it was fun to people and dog watch. (The patio is dog-friendly.) The menu had lots of great sounding items, but I wanted some healthier options, so I ordered a side salad and fruit and yogurt. (Note that fruit, yogurt, and granola are all sold separately for $6 each. The menu is a little bit confusing on that.) Nate got the omelette with bacon, ham, steak, and mushrooms. The food was really delicious! We asked for hot sauce for the omelette, which made it perfect. The side salad was a large portion and dressed nicely. The yogurt was some of the most delicious yogurt I've ever had, but the fruit was just okay (some of it was overripe). I had several bites of the omelette which was so savory and tasty! I really loved this place and even though it was a little bit pricey I'd definitely go back. The service was great too. read more

Went this morning for brunch. We walked up and the place was close to full. We were seated right away at a four top. It was me and my wife. Our server was Courtney. She was very busy with at least 5 tables. The servers have to go inside up several stairs to get the food. All the servers were really hustling as was the hostess. Even though they were working hard they still kept up with the service. The only thing better than the service was the food, it was fantastic. read more

I've always heard good things about brunch at the towns plaza- but honestly, I could kick myself for not going sooner. Delicious! The chipotle Bloody Mary had a smooth, Smokey taste to it- and the garnishes were great. The meat omelette was superb- the eggs were cooked perfectly, and the steak in the omelette was cooked to perfection. The seasoned potatoes and dressed Bibb lettuce was a great side dish as well. Wonderful service, and even though it's a little small on the inside- the staff work hard and efficiently to get guests in as seated. A must stop in the TC area. read more

We tried this place, had Short Rib + Filet Egg Benedicts. Filet Benedict was fabulous- a must if you are not a vegetarian! We had to try it again today, with different items to make sure it's not a fluke. Had the salmon cake Benedict and egg omelette with wild mushroom & bacon. This place is legit (4 out of 4 items ) and we will be back here again during next trip. read more

O. My. Gosh. This place is one of the BEST places I've been to for breakfast ever. The grilled Romaine is incredible. The homemade sausage and bacon is amazing. My husband had the stuffed pepper. He liked it a lot but would have liked more chorizo. We also split the vegetable gratin! So delicious! I would recommend for anyone who is in TC to come here for breakfast. Truth be told, we came two mornings in a row! It was wor read more

Great pork based menu for breakfast and lunch. Wish they would restart their dinner menu.

Came here twice on my four day visit to TC. We had come here last year and it was quite good, this time around it was also pretty good, though on our second visit I think we had a new waitress or something. More on that in a minute. They have a huge outdoor seating area, as well as comfortable seating inside. The wait staff is super friendly and the vibe is super chill here. A great spot to grab a cup of coffee, some delicious breakfast, and take your time. I've had the salmon cakes benedict, as well as the bell pepper with chorizo and poached eggs. Both were immaculate, with attention to detail showing in every aspect-great presentation, clean diced veggies and salsa, perfectly poached eggs, served at just the right temperature. On our second visit last week, there were definitely a few service hiccups. First, the cappucinos came out with no foam, and the waitress kind of timidly excused herself and said it's hard to make foam. Well, she could have asked for help if she was new at it. Then our order came out wrong, and we had to tell her to please fix it. Finally, the bill came out with the wrong items on it from the originally wrong order, and that would have cost us $10 if it were not fixed. Anyway, she was very polite and we were very gentle asking for the fixes, and everything was taken care of and made right promptly and courteously. So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Just a star off for not training new staff properly. In any case, I'd still go back here without hesitation and can recommend it as one of the best breakfast spots in TC. read more

As local area residents, this wasn't our first visit to Towne Plaza, I believe it was our third. On weekends, you'll more than likely have a wait time, but it's definitely worth it. The inside isn't huge, but it works. There is also bar-top seating. Service was as fast as it could possibly despite it being taxingly busy; the staff is obviously used to it. We didn't have to wait too long to have our order taken; it gave us time to look around and see what others were having. Next to us I saw the Grilled Cheese, which isn't what you think. It's a baguette concoction of cheese and deliciousness you MUST try, and I did! It was fantastic, but I recommend splitting it with a few people. I also saw on their table and then ordered The Benedict, which was absolutely scrumptious--the Hollandaise sauce was perfect: not too much or too little. The potatoes and Bibb lettuce that accompany it were also wonderful. My husband ordered the beef and pork belly burger, and he enjoyed it along with a side order of fries, which he enjoyed very much. The service was fantastic, and our service was very sweet, and said she appreciated our patience throughout our visit. We have never been disappointed with a meal here. If you live here, you should definitely make your way downtown and treat yourself. If just visiting, DON'T miss it! read more

We came early for breakfast and had no wait. I got the chicken Benedict and a side order of pancakes, my mom got the steel cut oatmeal. The chicken Benedict was good it came with a potato cake instead of an English muffin and I liked that change I just wish it was a little bigger because towards the end I ran out of potato cake. The pancakes were reminded me of cracker barrel pancakes, I'm not sure I I would get them as a plain side again I think with toppings it would be better. The oatmeal was really good, my mom said she would get it again. I liked it as well it was not too thick or overdone. Note when you come because of the location, there isn't any free parking that I noticed so you will have to pay for parking. read more

Calling all brunch & bacon lovers! On a cold day, this hit all the notes of comfort. We were warmly greeted after walking in & promptly seated. The bar takes center stage, but the charm of the brick building has been preserved, making for a cozy eatery. Our server, Hannah, was great & had our drinks squared away super quick. The mushroom bisque, side of bacon & smoked burger were delicious, with all the flavors complimenting each other. I've also enjoyed the pancakes & French toast in the past. Really great breakfast/brunch/lunch spot for anytime of the year! read more

It's been nearly 10 years since my last review so I figured it was a good time for an update! The good news is, the Towne Plaza is just as good as it's always been! I came with my family a few weekends ago and had the pleasure of dining on the patio. Wait on a Saturday afternoon was a bit long (about an hour) but they took our number so we were able to walk around town a bit to kill some time. I was tempted to try something different but I just couldn't tear myself away from the delicious eggs benedict. It was just as wonderful as I recalled! Once again, my mom got the pork belly and I was able to sneak bites of it throughout the meal. My husband got the omelette filled with steak, ham, bacon, wild mushrooms and white cheddar. It was also VERY good. Everyone else raved about their dishes, too. One of the highlights of our trip up north, for sure! It is a dog friendly patio, too, and our pups loved being able to hang with us as we ate. read more

Parking was easy to find. We didn't have any issues with the staff being rude. Our food was decent not amazing but decent. We ordered the shrimp in broth and porchetta. Shrimp in broth was good but could use more shrimp in it. The meat in the porchetta could be a little more soft so that it can melt in my mouth. Meat was a bit too chewy. Restaurant was clean and prices were fair. Overall about a 3.5, definitely not a perfect 5. read more

This was our third time here for breakfast. So incredibly yummy. A week ago we had the salmon Benedict with a side of pancakes--- that all was delicious. Now today we had the chicken Benedict with a side of blueberry pancakes. My husband and I always share. It's plenty. It was our second time having the chicken Benedict. It was just like we remembered. We love the crispy potato on the bottom and the tender fried chicken in the middle with a perfectly poached egg on top with fontina sauce over the top! Yes this breakfast place was over the top! And our waitress Kimmy was wonderful! Can't say enough-- best breakfast in TC. read more

This was our first stop in Traverse City. It was a very nice breakfast place. Overall food tasted good but portions were hit or miss depending on what was ordered. Family of five and a few left a little hungry. Menu was a little limited for the younger kids. Inside seating was nice and cozy, a lot of trinkets to look at and very clean. Outdoor seating looked nice but a little disconnected from the restaurant. Service was also very nice and quick. With all the other other options in Traverse City, might have to try a few other spots before deciding to go back. Was this review helpful? read more
