Wasn't expecting to have Mediterranean food at this bar but was so happy we did. Pitta, hummus, tzatziki and gyro were all amazing. Staff was friendly and prompt. Very lively setting seemingly filled with locals. They have everything you'd want to drink. Overall a great casual neighborhood bar with good food and vibes. read more

This place has great food and great service. A bar atmosphere that can be loud but you can still easily talk.

We were recommend this place by a gal who lives in Traverse City that we met earlier in the day. She said it is a place that the locals frequent and that we should order the gyro and wings. We were able to get two seats at the bar on a busy Friday night. The bartenders were fantastic...so friendly, fast, and attentive to all at the bar that it was impressive. We had a couple of drinks and the gyro and wings. Both were really good. The gyro was full of meat and the pita fluffy. The wings were perfectly juicy and the sauce was tasty. I only wish they had an option to order a smaller amount. 8 is a lot for us at a sitting, but because they were so good, we took them to the hotel and ate them the next day. The energy of the place is great. Highly recommend. read more

This place is pretty cool. The atmosphere is very low key. You can tell people come here for the meal though we only had drinks. The interesting part of this bar is that you could tell at one time it was an old supper Club. Long and narrow with rounded booths all along one side. I could just picture the place being painted red and these booths having low light on the table just enough for a couple to come in and enjoy a good jazz session. Though, now it is more of a bar, and stopping after work take place. read more

This is probably one of my favorite places in Traverse City. From atmosphere to food this place is a staple and one of the few late night food spots. I highly recommend going to this place and literally ordering anything on the menu because it's all good. The only negative part is they charge for ranch or side condiments for foods that I think should automatically come with one free side but literally love everything else about this place! read more

We came in for a quick lunch break. Service was fast and we had a very nice server. Definitely try their speciality sodas- we had a cherry and a diet and both were delicious. We had the chicken gyro and a regular gyro - both delicious and perfect for lunch. We would be interested in returning to see how the atmosphere is in the evening. read more

U and I restaurant is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm and friendly staff. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place for a meal with loved ones or a casual get-together with friends. The chicken wrap was delicious. My fiancé got their burger and really enjoyed it. The service is impeccable, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who go above and beyond to ensure your dining experience is top-notch. I highly recommend U and I restaurant for a memorable and delightful dining experience. I only have one thing I didn't quite like and that was the weak margarita which came in a small glass. I felt it could have been better for the price. read more

We had "a cider" the name of which was unidentifiable because it's loooooud in here on a Saturday night at midnight...as it should be in a bar (later researching say this cider was the Octorock from Starcut Ciders). It was sweet, delicious, refreshing. Would def order again. We also had the fried cauliflower and Tater Kegs (a giant stuffed tater tot, basically). Both were good, but the Tater Kegs were the winner. A delightful potato pillow full of chives & cheese. 10/10 would order again. Everything came with ranch dressing. Apparently this is the place to go for a gyro, but we didn't get a chance to sample those. Def grateful for places open late in TC! Food was served until just before midnight, even tho they are open later. Street parking was easy and service was helpful & friendly. read more

A great place with cozy seating! Many circle booths, a few tables and a long bar! Super busy but great service in this northern Michigan bar! They have many tapped beer along with full bar beverages. We have enjoyed many meals here and plan to visit each time we are in town. Staff and servers are friendly, we love the venue and the prices are reasonable! read more

One of my our favorite places as a local, but what happened to the gyro size? It's now severed in a pickle wrapper and small.

Not a family friendly establishment. In fact, our server told me families are not encouraged since the bar sold to new owners and if you have anyone under 21 with you past 9 PM you'll be asked to leave. Even though I had 2/3 of my beer left after spending $55 for dinner with my 16 yr old son I was told we needed to finish and leave right at 9pm. Server said they are mostly just a 'dive bar,' ....which is cool... just know U&I and their new owners wish to cater to the adults only crowd. read more

It's not fancy and in winters it can sometimes be a bit chilly, but darn it, they've got the best Gyro's in town. You can get a regular lamb gyro or chicken. Also a nice greek side salad or fries. All the food is better than your average bar and nice to see the greek items on the menu. It's also a good place to watch a game or for late night dining. Nice selection of Michigan beers. Highly recommended. read more

This place is lucky I rate not only on a single grumpy server. Shyann was the bartender that likes to bang glass around. Amber seamed nicer but she was on the other end of the bar, my bad luck in seating choices. Ok back to Shyann, she poured my spirts into a glass and then tossed a scoop full of ice into the glass spilling sever ice cubes onto the bar. Yea they are fully melted now. We will see if she wipes up the water any time soon. She asked if I wanted to eat or just drink. I said I wanted to look at the menu. Still have not see the menu yet (how long does it take for ice to melt?) She was fixing another customer his drink and opened the refrigerator door, left it wide open and banged the bottle on another door handle. Gods be with her as the bottle did not break. Oh and you will love this....a customer asked her "do you have any toothpicks back there?" Her response "at the other end of the bar I do". Maybe I was in a mood but that did not sound like a proper response. Otherwise this looks like a nice place but I am starting to get the feeling it is a local hangout as she knew the guy next to me at the bar wanted a cherry white claw. Why rate a 4 you ask? It is cozy, clean, decorated, several TVs. There is plenty of room. Well my drink is almost over, I think I will check Yelp to find a place to eat. read more

Best darts spot in town!!!!!!.... plus great service, a friendly staff, excellent food, and in walking distance to everything downtown.

The food was great and service was equally excellent ; we were visiting Traverse City and looking for a sports bar to watch some college football; we were glad we found the Uand I lounge ! read more

The night was coming to a close and we needed some dinner. This spot was located one block from the condo we rented. You could see it from the bedroom window. Seemed like a very logical spot to stop for food right? I'm not sure what I was thinking but I only got some pita bread and dip. I was full from all the beer but I should have forced more food. Haha. He got a gyro which looked and smelled amazing. This was definitely a nice spot to chill in. Cool dive bar vibe and all. Food was good and a great selection. We will definitely be back when we return in the fall! read more

Food is DELICIOUS!! Good little dive bar with a cool vibe, good music and drinks. The special grilled cheese is to die for!!

The service was terrible. I sat here for 30 minutes without being served. I attempted to get the attention of a waitress and even made eye contact before she signaled indicating she wouldn't be coming over to our table. Several tables of people who arrived well after we did were served before us. Unfortunately, we had to leave. Thankfully there are many, much improved, options just a quick walk away. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME-- unless you've got time to waste then check it out!! read more

Sweet little bar on Front street. It's deceiving from the road but it is quite long. Seats around 50. Waitress Tyanna was really nice, quick and checked on us often. Both ordered the Gyro/greek salad. The food was good. I will come back. read more

We've been in town 2 days and already been here twice now because the food is delicious (gyro, fries, and grilled cheese) and the service is spot on! We played darts, made friends, and love their playlists. read more

This place is great and I've never had a bad meal. Bartenders are awesome and the lamb gyro is delicious!

It is very rare that I will write a one star review but the way the bouncer treated us trying to just get into this place was horrendous. I get the social distancing aspect and the need to have a safe space but you don't need to be rude to us. The bouncer with the unforgettable beard that parts in the middle "shoosed" us out when we got the door without him being at his post. He could have politely said that others were waiting ahead of us versus being a jerk. I understand having a bad day but don't alienate customers and a person who lives in Traverse City who may know a few people. Honestly looked like a great place but I haven't been treated this awful in some time. So my next time in the city I won't even try to stop there...sorry! read more

Omg, Gyros. Seriously. Get them. Extra Tz sauce. The drinks are decent, normal, good. Great local atmosphere in the heart of touristy downtown. read more

A dive bar for sure. Came here at the recommendation of a friend for a good lunch place. Positive we would never go back! read more

U And I Lounge - The Gyro - Greek Near Me - Traverse City, Michigan

I usually have patronized this place as it's more mature. However I noticed the bills were getting heavy and Boone ever provided a itemized receipt. Last Tuesday I went in and received 32$ ticket and tipped $8 accordingly. I usually tip well, but I sorta felt funny as my bills were always high especially for the area. Well capitol one sent me an email this week asking if I gave a 57% tip and the bill really was 25.50$ with a marked up $14.50 tip. This crew is a bunch of scammers and thieves. Good luck and watch your tab here...as your service staff certainly will mind it for you if you don't. read more

If you are looking for a lowkey place to grab a cheap beer or a quick bite to eat this is one of the best in TC. Very grungy, small town bar vibes but this place is never a bad time. You can always rely on the beer to be cold and the food to be delicious. read more

Locals bar. Dark lighting because it's a lounge bar, drinks are good. Good for friends in a group or just a couple of people.

Great local "dive" bar to hangout in. They always have a game on from what I noticed. The drinks are inexpensive! They offer deals throughout the week as well. Food is an option but can't comment on it. read more

We visited U and I again this past week, and it did not disappoint! Yes, still a hole in the wall, but still has delicious food and large portions. They were quick and they were happy to make a few substitutions for the picky eaters in our group. We will be back! read more

Fantastic little dive bar! Stumbled in here on a mission to just get a couple beers and hang out, my only regret is not staying here longer and trying to explore the rest of the town. They got cold beer at good prices and friendly staff! We didn't order any food but it smelled really good. Tell me the last time you got any two alcoholic drinks for under five dollars in 2022.... I'll wait. read more

Used to love this bar until the bouncer yelled at us for petting a dog. This bar is good for sticky tables, cheap beer, and late night pizza, but the bouncer has to go. I was with a group of friends, mostly women, when we left the bar at 11pm on a Friday night. We say a dog tied to a tree and decided to pet the dog. The bouncer came out of the bar just to say, "why are you petting that dog? You dont know that dog. Stop petting him!" We honestly thought he was messing around with us because of the over the top reaction so we laughed and continued to pet the dog. He then walks from the bar to our group and says, "Dint f***ing touch that dog!" We walked away tempted to call the cops or management because he was very aggressive toward us which made us feel unsafe. Not how a bouncer should make people feel. THEN the owner of the dog comes out of the bar and tells at as from down the street, "Dont touch my f***ing dog! If I hear anyone is touching my dog I'll kill them!" He goes back inside the bar. The bouncer clearly let's people in who are not safe to the community and pushes people away who are honest human beings. Do you want to go to a bar that hates dog lovers and loves drunk homeless people? Then this is the bar for you! read more

This is a five-star dive bar, but I use the term "dive" very loosely. It seems everything in TC is geared toward tourists. I just wanted a personable, every-man's bar to get some whiskey and cheese sticks... Is that too much to ask? Luckily U&I fit the bill. The dim lighting, comfy booths and friendly service were my favorite points about this place. There were lively (though not belligerent) regulars throughout. We spent a couple drinks here and really enjoyed it. I'd definitely come back when I'm in TC again! read more
