Fantastic sandwich and pizza option if you're headed to or from Sleeping Bear Dunes!…read more We came across Shipwreck Cafe after stopping for gas next door on the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We wanted a kid friendly option and came in for the pizza, but ended up being blown away by the massive sandwich menu! Don't be discouraged by the line - it moves FAST!!!! The young people at the register and in the kitchen are efficient and so nice!!! We arrived about half an hour before the sign says pizzas are ready, and the lovely man at the register said "sure!" when we asked if we could order a pizza. The menu has something for everyone - Including plenty of vegetarian options (I think they even had a vegan option). I loved my Griffon, and the meat eaters in our group enjoyed the SS Noronic (a BLT) and the Fitzgerald. Our kids devoured their cheese pizza! They also carry Great Lakes Co Chips, which are some of the best potato chips we've ever had. Our sandwiches were all so inventive with delicious, fresh ingredients, amazing condiments, and the most freshly baked "pretzel rolls" ever. If this place wasn't a vacation stop for us, we'd be back all the time! Our kiddos favorite part, bedsides the pizza, were the tiny plastic swords that came in our sandwiches holding them together. When they each wanted one more sword, we went back inside and the staff inside was so used to kids asking for more tiny swords that their response to "May we have two more swords?" Was "Sure! What colors?!" Very different from what the response would have been where we're from. :) We even came back later in the day for the frozen custard!!! All in all, it was a great experience with great food, great service, plenty of outdoor picnic tables under umbrellas, and something for everyone to eat.

I think I can sum this one up by saying that I stopped here two days in a row and got the same…read moreexact thing both times. I opted for the Morazan and it was perfect. Wait time was minimal, benches outside were numerous -- this is the perfect sandwich shop for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.

It is indeed quite friendly, our server was helpful and efficient and easygoing despite our children. And the menu claims that they are famous for their excellent burgers and you know what? The burger was excellent! A nice old-school very beefy patty with crunchy lettuce and juicy tomato. I was very pleased by the whole experience and would happily come back next time we're in Empire.

Which worked perfectly since she ate the extra a quac with her chips! The portions are generous - the only negative was the pita was either stale or way over toasted as it was extremely hard. We prefer the quaintness of the GHG vs the long waits at the bigger local places!
