Glen Arbor's secret - a real deal Jewish deli shop with enormous sandwiches and variety of bagels…read more Get there before 10 AM because they do sell out TIp: order the half sandwich or if you and your dining companion like the same sandwich just get one and split it. At about 14 a2 to $15 apiece this is one of the rare exceptions where it is a good value because you will get two meals out of each sandwich. We ordered a Tripoli (ham, turkey, salami, and provolone, lettuce, and tomato) and a Gaza ( curried chicken, lettuce, tomato, shredded carrot, and peas) both on rye bread. Both sandwiches were made with high-quality ingredients and we would definitely recommend either of them. Again, I cannot stress it enough, the sandwiches are enormous, and you really should share. it feels like a grammar school, kind of a cafeteria, it's modern and clean, but not particularly in inviting or appealing or charming in any way. Service was patient with his first time, kind, and very helpful. Recommend!! I'd like to return in the future and try their bagels. I'm disappointed that I came at lunchtime and all they had left with cinnamon raisin and I'm not a fan of raisins so... Next time!

I would love to try to lunchmeat sandwiches on my next visit. Highly recommend this. Don't expect it to be a go, grab and leave. It's a busy place so even if the line isn't long, you'll be waiting for a bit to get your order. I'd say, it's completely worth it, as long as you have the time!

Get there early (8ish), the deli person said they sell out. Would love to see this store have a little more in pre packaged foods-to-go. That seems to be a general need. Even pre-made burgers or plain chicken breasts for dogs would have been amazing for people traveling with pets. I only gave 4 stars because I went to the deli last night at dinner time and food looked dry and not great, so I had to order takeout.

Lots of high end spirits and wine. Many small batch jars of sauces, condiments, jams, etc. Boars Head meets sliced for you. Nice salmon and Tuna. Plus the regular groceries that everyone needs. They even have a single barrel whisky that the staff selects and has bottled just for them. It's better than expected for the price. Staff was super helpful and polite. I've never reviewed a grocery store. This is pretty unique shopping! Try it.

I don't usually go during peak season so I don't deal with the crowds but the service has always been fast no matter what. You can't go without getting a basket of tater tots for the table and I love their burgers. Nice beer selection as well. Cash only but I love that. If you're in the area, Arts is a must stop. It's an institution after all!

We always leave with a bag filled with our favorites and something new to try. We have given the gift boxes for holiday gifts in the past - they are beautifully packaged. We've also ordered online and shipped things to family (and restocked our faves when we can't get there in person). We've eaten at the adjacent restaurant, and always have a great experience. The cherry chicken salad is my fave! The ice cream is fantastic, too - we often stop multiple times during our vacation week. The vanilla cherry twist is my favorite (it was not available this year - so sad!!), but all of the cherry flavors are great.

Not the best experience at Cherry Republic. They were out of…read morequite a few beers when we visited, as well as several menu items. We know it had been a busy weekend, but it was still a little disappointing. We ended up ordering the fries and pulled pork sliders. Both were just okay. Unfortunately, the fries came out ice cold. We didn't send them back, but we barely touched them. Our server was also difficult to track down, and our drinks were left empty for most of the meal. That definitely took away from the overall experience. That said, this won't be our last visit. We'll give Cherry Republic another try, but unfortunately, this visit just wasn't great.

Over the years they have sometimes struggled with staffing and wait times, but in this most recent visit, they had plenty of staff, a quick turnaround, and lots of fresh baked goods.

We always take a bag or two home, and we order online to ship when we are missing Sleeping Bear Blend or 45th Parallel!

While the food was average or not great for some, our server was helpful and doing her best to keep up, and we all were fed and got to enjoy dinner together. There was live music out on the deck, and lots of outdoor seating (the weather was just a little cool on this day). Be aware you will get charged a credit card fee if you pay with card, and they do not split bills for groups (that part was well-communicated). There is plentiful parking in a lot which is really nice since parking in town can be tough.

Must read before going here…read more Tonight, I personally overheard the owner turn away a family because the dad asked if the USA World Cup soccer game would be on. His response was, verbatim: "If you owned a business, you would understand we are trying to turn tables." The place was half empty. Instead of simply saying they couldn't put the game on or that they needed the table, he escalated the situation and verbally attacked the dad in front of his kids, even calling him an "a-hole" for asking to watch the USA play in the World Cup at a bar and grill. That tells you everything you need to know about how this place treats customers. Rude, disrespectful, and completely unnecessary. There are plenty of better options in Glen Arbor. Go to Art's instead -- better food, better atmosphere, and they actually seem to appreciate the people spending money in their place.

In these harder times, this restaurant needs more help. College kids were back in school. The tables were kind of greasy. Only two servers, who were very good, were exhausted. We were dining with a 2 year old, who was a little difficult and our kind waitress put in the order for the children right away. Their cheese pizza looked great. Nice call. Our orders came out not too long after, which makes me question, "How do you cook fish in less than 10 minutes, with a fresh vegetable? I ordered the wall eye with pesto and it came with zucchini. Everything was just all right. NOT a hot meal. The mashed potatoes were lukewarm, the fish seemed like it was cooked an hour ago and the zucchini was soggy with oil. The ribs are their best to claim, and were good. However, they also seemed like just warmed up with the BBQ sauce because my son said they were cold and he should have sent them back. There is outside seating but mostly bar counter height chairs so we chose to eat indoors, which was very nice. IF the food was cooked to order, and the food was HOT, and the tables were cleaned properly, it would rate a 5! in my book. However, not this time. I eat here at least 4 times per year, so hopefully next time, it will be better! I pray they do not close this gem on M-22 in downtown Glen Arbor. See you next time!
