Great to find a place that says they have food late and actually has food late! We came here on a Saturday night... definitely a little wild, but it was great for people watching. There were a ton of golfers, bachelorette parties, and people that love to karaoke! We were able to grab a booth, grab drinks, food, and take in everything around us. Our waitress was nice and efficient. We got a handful of cocktails, pretzel bites, and the chicken tenders. The perfect snacks for when you're drinking! Opened late for anyone looking to rage on a Saturday night. read more

My wife and I shared the Ribs and Perch combo which included her salad and we choose the sweet potato fries. She really likes the ribs and I had the three pieces of perch. They were good quality pieces that were not too large. I liked the tartar sauce- very much to my taste without garlic and onions. We traveled 1/2 hr to get here- discovered it under steakhouse on my Garmin. This is a great place to eat and had a good variety on the menu. read more

Toonie's Fish & Steak House - Toonies Breakfast-Lunch-Dinner - Steakhouses Near Me - Bellaire, Michigan

This is where the locals (and tourists in the know) eat in Bellaire. Good All-American food, GREAT ribs, perch, burgers, and kids' food too. The staff can get a bit overworked at heavy times, but they sure hustle, and any wait is worth it. Good daily specials - my favorite is the Wednesday rib plate. read more

Very nice people that served us. The food was so-so, I had the perch and it was very bland. Not even certain it was perch. Onion rings were very good. I believe there are other places in the area that we would try if we returned. read more

This is a solid place for breakfast. The service and staff are great. The atmosphere is very cool. The town is very fun. The food is above the good category. I would recommend this place when you are in town read more

Ordered the (27$ btw) Whitefish with salad (came with a packet of dressing) and a baked potato. Ordered the fish blackened. Arrived not really blackened and juuuuust barely at what i hope was 145* cooked. Baked potato was dinky sized and burnt. Sour cream was watery and smelled bad... didnt eat that. Was just OK. Service was just ok. Busy night being a Saturday Menu is way too big. I figured ordering the standout dish would be great but sadly nope. Came here many times 10ish years ago and it has definitely changed. read more

We go upnorth alot and this place has always been on our radar. We finally decided to try for breakfast and glad we did the foods amazing best breakfast in Antrim county by far !!! Went in October and think about that breakfast every time i think about spring in Bellaire can't wait to get back there !!! read more

The service, kitchen timeliness, and staffing is chaotic. There is no management staff onsite to oversee operations. The food at best is mediocre. Go across the street for a better experience. read more

Nice place for breakfast in town. Lunch also. Would like to come back for the lake perch. Next time. Service was quick on the refills of coffee. Food was okay. Hard to screw up breakfast. Nice, cozy place for breakfast and lunch. Would come back again. read more

We eat there every time we are in the area, both breakfast and dinner. Had the rib special and the chicken wrap the last time. Followed up the next morning with oatmeal, skillet breakfast, western omelet and eggs. Everybody said it was delish. Good food, good friendly service and fair prices. What more could you ask for? read more

Food was ok. Nothing special. Staff was friendly. Sons enjoyed the Angry Mountain Burger. read more

Toonie's Fish & Steak House - The Angry Mountain - Steakhouses Near Me - Bellaire, Michigan

So disappointed. Never again. I could not recommend this for anyone. While the salad was fairly good ( though wilted and warm) our entire party of 7 stated their food was bad. (Unless it was a fried option like French fries). I ordered the pecan encrusted whitefish thinking it was going to be super fresh, normally made whitefish fillet. A very small, thin dried piece of fish came out with an overcooked, tiny sweet potato. Neither were edible. The french fries are great! The fried perch that my son had was good. I expected great since this boasts weekly delivery of fish. And the waitress was having a very bad night. Very little service to our table. I was with an earshot of the waitress station and she spent quite a bit of time talking badly about other customers to another waitress. Again, very disappointing. read more

I ended up coming here 3 times on my trip Up North this year. All 3 times I ordered the Bourbon Street Steak. Awesome steak. Delicious every time. It comes with Bread that is excellent. One meal I got French Onion Soup that was good. The other two visits I got a salad that was large and very fresh. All 3 visits I got Mashed Potatoes that were excellent. The Last visit I got a piece of Chocolate Cake to go, it was an excellent piece of cake. Also on the Last Visit I ate with a friend that had the Perch Sandwich. He stated it was excellent. The Service was excellent. Overall 4.5 Stars. Since I have to round I'll round up. I will be back next year. read more

Excellent Reuben. Husband had white fish sandwich excellent.Limited draft list, good can list.

They are a decent restaurant with good sandwiches,a reasonable breakfast and a ribs that are normally very good

Server was nice but my hot dog was tough and chewy. My fries were pretty good. The lighting was very dim. I liked some parts but some could be improved. read more

I love there fish I go there with my family every June. I love that place I love to eat walleye there. read more

I love Toonies. If you have not tried their weekday dinner specials do it soon. Thursday is chicken Marsala some weeks, love it. I am going back tonight for the fish special read more

I met up with my old friend to have dinner and we were absolutely blown away by the friendly staff and great food I highly recommend

I've been a long standing fan of Toonies, or the Village Chalet as it used to be called a long time ago. They have a decent variety of well put together meals and offer a good drink selection. One of my favorite sandwiches here is the hot roast beef sandwich. It is served open faced and with mashed potatoes. I can surely tell you, that it'll be enjoyable if you are into roast beef and mashed potatoes on a nice warm thick piece of bread. The breakfast options at Toonies are a great thing to look into if you are in the area as well. They offer bloody marys, but I usually don't like to get them here. However, I will order a nice mimosa here with breakfast if I am in the mood for it. They have a great steak and eggs combo as well for breakfast. Check this place out if you are in the area and looking for a nice atmosphere and a good filling meal. read more

The worst breakfast in Northern Michigan so far. Greasy greasy greasy, potatoes from a bag, soggy with butter "stuff". How hard is to make a great breakfast? Not! read more

My favorite local restaurant. Good food, great SERVice, and good atmosphere. My favorite.

Service was fine. Food was unremarkable. Spinach artichoke dip was the worst I've ever had. Don't go here if you're looking for a Short's alternative. read more

We went there for the prime rib (served Saturdays), which was recommended by a friend. It was honestly one of the worst meals I've ever had. Nothing was prepared correctly. The bread was very undercooked, and parts of it had a funky, kind of spoiled, smell and tasted "off." The prime rib, ordered medium, was brown on the outside but raw inside. Mine was fine after one more trip to the kitchen, but my husband's thicker piece was still rare after being sent back twice. The tiny sweet potatoes were also undercooked. The asparagus was mushy. We ended up sharing my prime rib and taking his home. It should be good for sandwiches tomorrow after we cook it more. Service was fine, but you'd think that a manager or owner would stop by after someone's dinner had to be sent back multiple times. Very disappointing. read more

Food was awful, service was not great either. Do not recommend this place. Shorts is the way to go when in Bellaire.

The ribeye so so yummy! Locally owned and operated! Awesome draft line up with some great local craft beers! Service is always great! read more

Toonie's Fish & Steak House - Steakhouses Near Me - Bellaire, Michigan

Visit was in late September 2013. We were opting for dinner at a different place in town, but when we were told that it was almost a 2 hour wait (WTF??), we decided to look elsewhere in town. Toonie's a nice, local joint in a touristy town and we were able to walk right in and have a seat. I had a steak, cooked exactly how I wanted it. Served quickly, my margarita was nice - it was a good experience. My friend opted for a different steak - cooked as nicely. Should I be in Bellaire again, I would go back. read more

'OK' pretty much describes it except for the prices which are way high for this small town and rather average restaurant with not so great service. I've eaten there only once in the last 2 months. One time was okay... Slim Jim type sandwich done well and the service was fine. But there was almost nobody in the place so I'd expect that. Last night we went to have dinner, were seated and then waited a full 20 minutes with still nobody coming to our table to deliver water, or wait on us in any way at all. We got up and walked out, with nobody noticing at all. We seemed irrelevant to them. This is an old local place and has had a number of names and most likely owners. It retains the 'cache' of mostly 'locals', and I have to say mostly people over 65. We are 70 and appeared to be the youngest folks in the place besides the waitress and the bartender. Entrees are very expensive and when they cost that much, the waiter should look clean and maybe even like there is a uniform... of white shirt and black pants..or something. The waitress who was working seemed unkempt, messy hair, and a seemingly dirty apron. I think she may even have been wearing jeans. Small point maybe. But know what you are getting into. I suspect breakfast is fine though I've not had that for years. Oh and the sign is dumb. It is a bull with crossed legs drinking a martini. My family laughingly says it looks like a gay bull... and it does. read more

Toonie's has very good food, the Prime Rib on Saturday night is outstanding! Come early or they'll be out of the Prime Rib. After dinner, stroll through downtown Bellaire and visit the local shops. read more

Although the French onion soup was good, nothing else was. Especially the service. We had to move plates and glasses to the "off-limits" table (even then they stayed forever). Ribeye steaks were cold. Service was so bad we didn't bother sending them back. Beef and gravy was also cold. And I did send that back (The gravy was instant). Fried chicken was good, perch was good. Those DID come out relatively hot...won't go back...Over $200 for family...should've gone to Culvers... read more

I've been to this restaurant many times now but I'm unsure why I haven't reviewed it until now. Every experience has been excellent thus far. So far, my only complaint is that most of the nights we've arrived with the special in mind for our meal, they've been out. I'm still dying to try the prime rib again and it kills me that they're always out. Otherwise, the staff has always been very nice - very accommodating even if we're nearly coming close to closing time. The prices are pretty right on with most other restaurants and the food always hits the spot. I've had burgers, sandwiches, steaks, fish, etc and everything has been cooked just as I've asked. The steak I had the other night was pretty fairly priced and it was delicious. The large burger we also got was very good. The servers were very quick to bring refills and extra condiments or napkins. We walked home feeling very well fed! Thanks again for another great meal! read more

The place to go in Bellaire. They have darn good food breakfast, lunch, dinner!! You can also have a local cocktail too!! Stop in and enjoy. read more

Disappointed. We were one of two groups in the whole place. Wait staff was unaware of what menu items were not available. Posted drinks were not available. Ordered food did not come correct so not all food was brought to the table at the same time. Food was not served hot, in fact the sides were stone cold. Menu is huge, there's no way quality can be maintained. read more

Happened to stop in on our vacation and have to say very disappointed. My husband ordered a club sandwich that had one slice of ham and one slice of turkey and a slice of Kraft American cheese. Then a additional $2.00 for crappy French fries.They say homemade ranch, which is just watered down regular ranch and charge extra for everything. Someone else ordered a chicken wrap and had no flavor. A waste of time and money. Would of got better food from a gas station or bar . Blah...... read more

Fish fry Friday night- AYCE- whitefish. $12.50. Server outstanding! Food came out promptly. All good! They know how to get food out and care for their customers. Would highly recommend. read more

The WORST!!!! The two times I have went here neither time we're the waitresses nice. They we're rude and did not care if we needed anything. In fact the second time after being their for 10 minutes we left we have never been treated so poorly. When we did eat there it wasn't anything that great. If you like decent food and rude people...This is the Place For You!!!! read more

Server was very friendly....food....horrible, I had the "perch" what ever the fish was, not sure it was perch at all, reminded me of catfish filets...reasonable price.....I heard the server say "put a potato in the microwave"......overall not happy with it. read more

Went in for breakfast with the family while staying at Shanty Creek. Food was all really good and biscuits n gravy some of the best I've come across. Reasonable prices and good sized portions...fyi if ordering pancakes they are they are about 12"! Definitely recommend trying them for breakfast. If I ever find myself back up in that neck o' the woods, we will for sure be back! read more

Visited for a late dinner on a Saturday night . . the whole town was buzzing . . able to get a seat . . I didn't hold out much hope for getting served and less hope for getting our food in a timely manner. I was pleasantly surprised, friendly server, food quickly arrived, and husband said best soup he had had in a very long time. read more

Went in for a breakfast sandwich (which they don't have on their menu). The waitress was accommodating and had the kitchen make one up. The food was neither bad or good, but the service was great! read more
