My mind was absolutely blown…read more I love Northern Michigan for a number of reasons, but I never imagined I'd include Mexican food to the list. This place definitely is an undiscovered gem. We ordered the fajitas, a burrito, and tried the famous white fish taco. I mean- White fish taco sounds good, but there was something truly magical about that experience. I'm struggling to put it into words even now. You just have to eat it to believe. Honestly, the location for this place seems terrible. You'd never know it was there unless you went out of your way looking for it. It's hidden in a largely empty plaza, and I drove the car past three times before we finally spotted it. We placed our order at the front before seating ourselves. The employees were incredibly friendly and helpful as we decided what we wanted to order. The food came out hot and amazing. Oh it was such a surprise and comfort. I just really wish they offered horchata. l was just really in the mood for a horchata to complete my meal, and this would make it a homerun for me. But the food was so rewarding, I can get over myself. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town. Baby Tag Along Edition: Bringing in a carseat for our little one was easy enough. There are tables inside to eat and plenty of space for us to bring the carseat inside with us. I only wish they offered the Carseat Cradle that would let baby sit with us at eye level.

Lovely food truck with friendly service. I shared the kale and carrot curry, cherry sweet tea and…read morerhubarb lemonade. All were very good. The drinks were particularly good and very refreshing. I would definitely come back just for the drinks. We also had the cherry chocolate chip ice cream cookie. The cookies were delicious with just the right amount of crunch but I think they could have just sold these as plain cookies instead of an ice cream sandwich.

Wonderful food at reasonable prices, the menu is limited to six items. My wife and I tried only…read morefour but I can't believe the other two would fall short after the incredible meal we had. The owner is a former Marine having served in Iraq and Afghanistan so vets you get a discount. His mom is a nurse so I guess that's the reason for nurses getting a discount also. Open 1pm to 9 pm Friday thru Tuesday

Wow! This place is a hidden gem - we weren't sure they were open because it's Labor Day but after…read morewinding our way back through a parking lot we stumbled upon it and we are so happy we did! My kid loved the bungeo-ppang and my other kid loved the kimchi and tofu dumplings. I got the bi bim bap with pork belly and it was delightful. The guy working there was so patient answering a million questions because of my son's allergies and we got drinks from Earthen Ales nearby. It was a perfect lunch spot with outdoor seating in the shade - highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area!

Let me first say that I rarely write reviews but when I find food like this I just had to give a…read moregood review. We ordered the English muffin ham, egg and cheese sandwich with 2 eggs over easy. It was messy but delicious!! We also ordered the Boursin cheese omelette that is served on a tortilla with fresh tomatoes. Both of these were AMAZING and we found Cracked the next day and got the exact same order plus pancakes before our drive home. Bottom line this place is legit. The ham is about 1/2" thick and full of flavors and the Boursin cheese really adds a great flavor to the omelette! Thanks for the great breakfasts!

I found this food truck conveniently parked in the parking lot near the Traverse City Marina. It's…read moreperfect to grab a breakfast/brunch dish there and walk 40 feet to the park to eat. You can create your own picnic per say. The pancakes were delicious! They were fluffy and tasteful. For something lighter, I also got the roasted asparagus and tomato egg wrap which was also delicious. If you want to avoid lines at the restaurant or want something quick - this is definitely a place to try in Traverse City!

Everything at Polish Countryside Kitchen is the best version of that item I've ever tried, but I…read more*really* wish there was consistency in business hours. The owner is amazing, we chatted with him at length about his farm, standards, etc. It's refreshing to meet someone that cares as much about what they are consuming as you do! This guy gets it. Tried the goat burger, not at all what I expected! Was way less gamey...more like a bison/veal. Definitely try it! So nice he had a GF option for this, the grilled cabbage and beets (seemed like a beet hummus almost) was 11/10. The pierogi? 20/10. Even though he doesn't make his own (uses Srodek's) IT IS THE BEST PIEROGI I HAVE EVER TASTED! The secret? He cooks it in lard from his own farm. The kapusta & kielbasa flavor was my fav. Also ordered a birch sap drink, and there are so many health benefits! Loved it! While I found it surprising he wasn't familiar with Polish terminology in conversation, and he told us he'd be open on the 4th...that was a lie. A bummer since we drove far, but it's his business, he can do what he wants. Believe they are open Friday-Monday, but don't quote me on that. Lol If you are in TC, Glenn Arbor, Empire, or anywhere around Sleeping Bear Dunes, Polish Countryside Kitchen is 100% worth the drive!

Found Anchor S at the Little Fleet. Great ambiance, but that's really a review for little Fleet…read more Ginormous tray of fries for $7. The truffle flavor wasn't strong, so was a little disappointed. I was also disappointed to find that their fries come from a box (read: store bought), however the fries did turn out to be pretty good. I did consider other dishes. They had an interesting black cod dish, but I wasn't super hungry. I would say the staff treated this more as a transaction than me supporting their biz. A little robotic in nature, not extremely nice. Don't forget that your patrons are coming to support you rather than a more established restaurant.

Well, unfortunately, this was not what I expected at all. The best thing about the burger is it was…read moreonly 6.50. The fries, for an additional dollar and a half, were hot and fresh (yum!) And had great texture, but completely flavorless. I didn't ask for seasoning - hopefully they provide it if you don't want plain old starch. The burger was well done, not medium well as the young lady said, but it was falling apart and not in a good way. It was also pretty flavorless - the best part about it was that it was made fresh. There was way too much bread on the burger, and it was pretty dry (almost old-tasting - yikes!). It's a beautiful day, so I'll be nice - the service was pretty good. Young lady was friendly, and did provide more info when asked. Unfortunately, I won't be having a burger here again. They have some other options on the menu that look good - maybe next time I'll try the dirty fries - I'll hopefully have better luck.

I moved to Michigan from California (Los Angeles and Central Valley) years ago. The one thing I've…read moremissed the most about California was the food. After years of looking, I finally found the most authentic Mexican food that rivals and exceeds some of my favorite places from where I grew up. Flavorful, mouthwatering, delicious only begins to describe it. If you want authentic Mexican food, visit Spanglish and get the Tamales and Tostadas. Great food, service and prices.

Stopped at Sparks while visiting Traverse City because my husband and I were craving BBQ --…read moreparticularly BBQ nachos. Unfortunately, Sparks was busier than expected so it took way long to get our food - even though we just ordered the nachos and a side of mac. Our waiter apologized many times due to being short staffed for the holiday weekend, but we were getting soo hangry we devoured our food in 10 minutes by the time we got it. The nachos were pretty good - I expected there to be a lot more meat and toppings for the price - and I wish they had put all of the BBQ sauce on it! We asked for all of their BBQ sauce on the side so we could try all of it. The mac & cheese was also pretty good! I probably would opt for a sandwich if I came back though since I do think the nachos were a bit lackluster.

How does this place get so many stars and good reviews. Whoever been liking this had no ideas what…read morereal BBQ is or they got lucky. This is such a tourist trap. 1. It is overpriced. $25 for 2 meat plate you get little piece of chicken and chop meat. Sides are good but the meat are tiny. 2. It is gross. you know something is wrong when your bbq is drown in sauce. Look at the picture. I never seen a bbq restaurant drown their meat in sauce. It is like they just grilled it or microwave the meat and just dump sauce on them and call it bbq. Also it was cold. Might as well eat at Applebee's if they are serving this. I was going to give 0 star but server was patient and nice. Food was just terrible. Everybody that give good reviews have nachos or macaroni. That's easy to make, but the items that involve technical skills and times, they have no idea how to make barbeque period
