They served it with cherry pie filling on top. The next day she said the cake was hard and dry. Only a tiny spot in the center was soft. The next time we stay in Hurley or Iron Mtn we will eat here again.

We roll in on Sunday afternoon to an empty restaurant, but the take-out orders are coming in so furiously, it took the young lady a few minutes to get menus and water to us. A good problem to have! A smaller dining room with only a few tables. Parking shouldn't be a problem. Plenty of variety on the main menu with a decent sized pizza menu added on. I went with a personal pizza (7") called the Yooper; Pepperoni, Sausage and Mushroom. These folks make a great personal pizza! Mrs. E. ordered a chicken wrap that she only finished half of. She gave it a big thumbs up, including the fries. In a nutshell, the prices are nice, the owners are nicer. It's right off US-2 and they're open until 8:00 pm during the week. 02/25

This my favorite restaurant in the Ironwood/Bessemer/wakefield area! My husband and I have eaten…read morethere more than several times since May when we moved to the area from Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and have never had a bad or even a mediocre meal. In fact, we have had absolutely superb meals every time. It's very obvious these are extremely talented chefs. On one very memorable occasion I had a special salmon entree on a Friday fish fry day. It was as good, if not better, than any salmon entree I have had anywhere in any large city or a "highly rated" restaurant or anywhere in our former (too expensive...) restaurants in our former beach town. It was excellent! Other days we have had smash burgers -- superb (and this is from two people who as a rule don't "do" burger days/nights). We love the Friday fish fry and try to go every Friday. On July 4, we ordered a pizza to go. We probably shouldn't have done it, but we ordered the largest size pizza as we thought it would last a few nights. I have never seen such a large pizza in my life! And it was mouth-watering delicious. If you have a family or group staying for the weekend, this is the perfect lunch or dinner option! The service is great -- very friendly and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. I love everything about this little place in Bessemer and always look forward to going back! Five stars all the way!

Quirky. Cozy little restaurant on US Highway 2 just outside…read moreof Hurley. Excellent food. There seems to be a lot if things assumed here: 1. All specials (appetizers, entrees, desserts) are written in a chalkboard in the entry hallway. These specials will not be repeated by waitstaff nor will they appear in writing anywhere but in the chalkboard. 2. The protocol on arriving is to walk through the entry hallway, take a sharp right into the bat area and wait, standing at end if bar until someone acknowledges your presence and registers your party. 3. You may wait awhile until anyone acknowledges or waits on you. The food here is excellent, as is the service, once you pass step 3 above. Serving sizes are generous. I highly recommend the "specials", I had the broiled Lake Superior whitefish in a bed of carmelized onions with garlic butter sauce. Suoerb! Talking to locals, this is the best food in the area.

Then as we sat at a local dive, I stumbled on Finn & Feather and we left, drove 95mph and made it (with an hour and half to spare as they are on Central time!). I am so glad we made that move, drinks were great, food was AMAZING! Our exchange students tried the ELK steak my wife ordered for the first time (and first time for me as well) and it was simply perfection! My old fashioned was spot on. I'm a steak guy, my steak was the GUIDES cut (I was skeptical), but HOLY COW, what a piece of meat, cooked to my exact standards (my Dad was a butcher) and the piece was a very generous portion given the price after cooking even. Ok, so I would leave it there, but I can NOT, the deserts were home-made, the in-house cream alone was fabulous and the cake we had was out of this world. Our only minor complaint, the broccolini needs some seasoning, but overall it was so minor, we wouldn't worry too much about it. If you are up North, an even within an hour, make the trip to this amazing restaurant sitting buried right on the shores of Lake Gogebic. It was so good, we heard they were doing a lobster boil the next night, we booked reservations on the spot and came back the next night! Special shout-out to our waiter and the whole staff - it was the Labor Day weekend and they made us feel special, included and the food - oh the food - so good! Don't miss this special place on your next trip up north!

The serving was huge and more than she could eat, but the flavor was so good she almost ate herself sick! The French Dip was excellent! Not the traditional thinly sliced beef that dehydrates when cooked, but rather meat that was closer to pot roast was used so it was moist and tender! The Turkey Melt my daughter had was really good! She asked them to make it with Mozzarella instead of cheddar and they accommodated her request with a great sandwich. The atmosphere was homey and welcoming and the staff was perfectly attentive and incredibly nice! If you find yourself in this part of the UP, you have to visit!
