Food Scene

The single greatest sandwich you will ever experience. We recommend the North Shore on pretzel bread. Get the bag lunch, it's the best deal in town.

Most certainly the very best place to get breakfast in Northern Michigan. Nearly everything is sourced locally from the peninsula, and the sweetest and most amazing staff runs the place. Take some time after breakfast or lunch to wander quaint downtown Northport. Highly recommend the pancakes and the biscuits and gravy.

Fancy, but oh-so-delicious. Rooftop patio is off the hook, and the inside is incredibly renovated and appointed as well.
