Was not expecting such original and delicious pizza. Had to try the Beer Pretzels and the cheese sauce and mustard were quite tasty. chicken pizza with apples hit just right. Wife got the hamburger which was cooked exactly like we like it...just done enough. Bacon jam was amazing. Now we are off to take advantage of free shipping for over $100 at the shop. read more

The family is up here on vacation & we stopped in to give this place a shot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is definitely cool. We sat outside in the beautiful MI summer weather & we're happy to do so.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the cherry burger with fries. They were very good. Others in our party had the cherry chicken salad. All opinions were that the chicken salad was good, but the cherry flavor wasn't strong enough. The pretzel & salsa apps were excellent. The ice cream is great. Overall, the food was great. The only bad thing I have to say about the place is that the service was dawdling at best. It took a while to get our food. They forgot to bring one of the apps. We had to call someone over who wasn't our waitress to refill our water pitcher. And we were only checked on once after the food was brought. I have no doubt that they'd have a great thing going here if the service improves. read more

Heading up north on holiday, one simply must visit Cherry Republic. The food and service at the Cherry Public House were phenomenal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a relaxed but calmly energized ambiance where one feels comfortable to have a chat but also feels fun and exciting at the same time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a distinct lack of restrooms and the line quickly extended into the restaurant multiple times while we were there, but that is truly my only complaint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Cherry Public House - Smoked whitefish dip with naan and artisan carrots - New American Near Me - Glen Arbor, Michigan

All of the employees are so sweet and great. The samples are so yummy and great with the kids. Very family friendly and the food is great!

Underwhelming food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great service. The whitefish pate appetizer was the smallest amount that we thought it had to be a joke. It was half an ice cream scoop and maybe two bites per person (there were 2 adults and 2 kids) and it was $14. Better off going to the local market and grabbing a tub for $9. The chicken salad sandwich was not served on a croissant as ordered. It showed up on bread resembling sliced bread that was toddler sized. Honestly it was the smallest sandwich I had seen marketed as an adult meal. The prices were so steep for mediocre food and small portions. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only reason they make it must be the setting and ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The servers and hostesses were great. But we won't be back. read more

Always a great experience! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside for a quite bite before sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server was friendly and quick. The food came out quickly - tasty cherry chicken salad sandwiches and fries seasoned with their delicious cherry bbq seasoning. We loved the cherry Arnold Palmer and the cherry sparking water, too. We'll be back next time we're in town. read more

If you are hungry, like hangry hungry I would choose someplace else. The bar and kitchen is painfully slow forcing our server to spend the whole time apologizing for the wait. Every table was the same with some folks commenting and others just staring at the kitchen. The food was ok. We got pretzel and beer cheese, it was salty but decent. My husband had a burger, which he said was good. I had the cherry chicken salad, which was not the best I've had. It looked like a lot of folks got chips and salsa, so perhaps worth trying. We got beers, 50% on if they were awesome or if they tasted like spoiled cherries, so know what you're ordering. The fries were soggy and lacked flavor IMO. They come in a paper bag (with an upcharge) so I think I was expecting more. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Anyway, maybe this place is good for drinking on the patio, but if you're hoping for a quick and delicious lunch, I'd go elsewhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We gave it a try due to it having the highest Yelp rating in the area. The service was top notch, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the beer garden out back was beautiful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the food was delicious, and the craft beer was outstanding. We will be back. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch after visiting the Dunes. We were able to get a table outside right away. The service was fast and friendly - all young adults. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The grounds are very cute with various places to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is very much a Michigan-y restaurant with every way to use cherries carried out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We started with the cherry salsa and chips. The salsa was so good we bought a bottle in the store (the chips were mediocre at best). We then ordered the Republic House Salad with Cherry Balsamic dressing. It was very good. My wife had a grilled chicken sandwich that was just okay. The fries come in a paper bag and are seasoned well - they were great. This place is worth the stop if you are in the area. It is touristy, but in the best way. The food is solid, and the shop and wine shop on the grounds were fun. We bought many items at Cherry Republic to take home. I forgot to take pictures of our food. read more

This is a really popular spot just off the M22. We had a bit of wait when we checked in for lunch, so we walked through their shop while we waited. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Got a table on the patio which was nice since it was a gorgeous day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was good - we had burgers and fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We weren't traveling with our dog, but many people stopping by did have dogs, and it was really nice that they could sit outside and enjoy lunch with their furry friends!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Can it get any better? Only if it was summer, because even in the last week of March the Cherry Public House was incredible. My assumption is in the summer it would be perfect, with all its outdoor and indoor seating in a stunning setting with so many fun activities to let the day past amongst those you love and care about. The extra touch of delicious Michigan cherry in all things, if by little or much just leaves you curious and wanting more. I mean everything has cherry, the cherry chili, amazing, the cherry beer, amazing, the cherry on the pizza, yes please. Cherry everywhere and on the grilled cheese, wow, I mean wow! It's all good and makes you wonder when is the Cherry Public House going to become a national landmark, it should be. Serious, if you come to Northern Michigan, you have to check this place out. You won't be disappointed, be ready to wait a while, it's popular as it should be, but they do everything so so well. This is one place you will be full of gladness you went and be planning your next v read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice outside seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was good but pricey for what you get in my opinion. Upcharged for everything and average portions. We got cherry hard seltzer tasted more like wine than you store bought seltzer so beware. Our server Conner did a great job. read more

Mothers Day, they're completely understaffed, not ready for the beautiful day, orders are 45+, even something as simple as soup. They're out of chicken completely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]No table service, dirty tables, & they're just overwhelmed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's other options in Glen Arbor that know how to plan for busy weekends!! This is how Cherry Public House rolls even during the summer when they increase staff. All the food is packaged in take out containers too, so huge amounts of plastic waste just because they aren't equipped for table service. read more

I recently visited this restaurant and had a really good experience. The food tasted fresh and flavorful, and the portions were a good size for the price. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better.

Such a fun spot in Glen Arbor! If you love cherries, this is it. While I opted for the lettuce wraps, you cannot go wrong with their famous cherry chicken salad sandwich. Service was great despite being busy during the lunch hour, and their fun selection of all things cherry gifts next door was great. Additionally, the setting during Fall peak leaf color was just absolutely wonderful. Will be back! read more

What a wonderful experience on our first evening on a girls trip to Glen Arbor. We just got into town and were hungry and ready for a drink too. We sat down and Rebecca took amazing care of us. To start: She heard we were going to have one of us go grab creamer for our coffee the next day, after we ordered. And she brought us half and half cups to save us a trip. At this point we ordered. Service was quick. The drinks and the food hit the spot. Is it true 5 star food? No. I'd say 4 star. But, seriously, having this kindness from Rebecca made it 5 star worthy. We appreciated it and tipped well. And she expressed gratitude for that. As we sat and finished our last bites and sips, she came back over to our table. And she handed us a cherry pie . An entire pie! She said it was a gift to us. What?! Seriously? Yes! She explained that she's able to do that occasionally and that she works for corporate, but that this summer she helped manage the staff at the restaurant. And then said she'd be going back to corporate next week. Anyway, wow! She made our day and night. And we went back a second time this trip as a result. More restaurants need Rebeccas. Oh and if you visit, go into cherry republic too because their snacks and treats (yes, they have samples), are amazing too. Jodi Jodifriedmanphotography.com read more

I was pleasantly surprised by my salad. Truthfully I don't like cherries unless they are maraschino cherries or cherry limeade. But Cherry Republic knows how to fix and blend cherries to be a delight in their food. I'm going to have to try more of their items next visit. In their store don't miss the dark salted caramel cherries or the dark chocolate cherries. read more

Slow service, average food, and you are not shown an itemized receipt. Server brings a total on device with 20% preselected, and 25 or 30 the only options without choosing Custom. You bet I dropped it below 20%. read more

Wow. The cherry chicken wrap and the Salad were incredible. This place is good enough to go out of the way to eat here.

The pulled pork was average, and if you value your money I would not up charge 4 dollars to get the Mac and cheese... the portion size was ridiculous. The chicken salad seems to be a better choice. read more

I absolutely love this place!!! The burger was absolutely fantastic. It came with a cherry coleslaw that was delicious! We also ordered a basket of fries and they were so good! This yummy seasoning on them that makes them speical! They have done a little redesign in the last couple of years and I love the new layout. Although I do miss the self-service drink station, the food is still awesome. It is on the pricier side but it is Glen Arbor. after all. The staff is always friendly and the food is timely. Don't sleep on dessert! I forgot to take a picture of the pie, but the cherry pie was fantastic, I think we had the cherry berry pie (or maybe it was plain cherry!) with cherry ice cream! I didn't have a cider this visit but I do love them! read more

This place has 3 separate buildings, a store, tasting room for wine and restaurant. We had a little something at all of them. We put our name in for a table and had some tasting. It was $5 for six 1 oz pours. They wrote on the little cup and you get a little pie tin to try. We had 14 samples and liked them all. The little lady that is who checked us out was also nice and had a passion for the place. You get 10% off if you get 4 bottles or more. They also have cherry soda for the littles. The restaurant was interesting. You scan and order everything yourself from your phone and they bring it. I liked the chicken salad wrap. The fries were well worth the upcharge. My husband was able to get a chicken sandwich by ordering a burger and subbing out the meat. All was delicious. The store offers free boxing and wrapping, so great options for souvenirs for friends and family. It was a great mix of touristy but hometown feel. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place to eat and spend the evening.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was very busy at 6:30 on an August Saturday night and we were still seated immediately and well taken care of.

First time at the Cherry Republic House. Fun atmosphere and friendly staff. We ordered and shared together the ulled pork sandwich with cherry bbq sauce , Parmesan crusted grilled cheese and public house salad with cherry balsamic vinaigrette and seasoned fries side order. I LOVED the pulled pork with cherry bbq. Fantastic tangy and sweet. The salad was fresh and very delicious. Enjoyed the fries but they did need a little salt. The beer cheese was very good for dipping. You can taste the beer. The Parmesan crusted grilled cheese was ( to quote my wife) so so. She wished she had gotten the Mac and pulled pork. TIP. Get an extra of the cherry bbq sauce for dipping!! read more

I would make another trip up here just to eat here again! It was THAT good. The whole place is cherry themed. Cherry beer, soda, lemonade, bacon, wine and ice cream! Just to make a few. There was a separate wine tasting building along with a gift shop. The gift shop featured all kinds of made right there cherry goods. Cherry bbq sauce, salsa and even salad dressing. So cool!!! The pub house offered a nice menu with some kick ass burgers. You can order through a QR code on the table. I thought that was so nice with ordering drinks. Paid our bill and everything through the QR code. So convenient. They offered indoor and outdoor seating. Food came out SUPER fast after ordering. This is also located in the heart of downtown Glen Arbor so a cute little walkable downtown. Parking is a little hard to find but worth it! Location is also about 15 mins from sleeping bear dunes as well. read more

This place is a cute little tourist restaurant. Very nice ambiance on the patio and the gardens out front are beautiful. We ordered inside and sat outside. We tried the pulled pork and the chicken salad on greens. Both were good. We were riding the Heritage trail on our bikes so I decided to try their homemade soda instead of a beer. They have about 8 flavors, all cherry somehow. I got the cherry cola. It was really good. I've met my soda quota for the year now. read more

Upcharge for beans??!! This place is fun and I should be writing a good review HOWEVER I think it is absolute insanity to be charged an additional $5.00 on top of the normal price of $15.00 for a black bean burger (yes, my veggie burger was 20.50 as I also added pickles). So, substituting beans for meat is an upcharge. I'm not talking about an Impossible burger or a branded veggie patty, a black bean patty. When I asked the reason (honestly wondering if there was one) there was no answer. I understand the $0.50 upcharge for pickles, they are probably tired of seeing customers not eating them (and if so why not just make available upon request?), but a 5 buck upcharge to eat beans is just nonsense. I priced bulk quantities of ground beef and black beans recently, not surprisingly beans are 1/3 of the price of meat. read more

Cherries are king here, in the best possible way. We had the cherry charcuterie and cherry beer, both quality, and the burger- no cherries involved- was really delicious. For dessert, we sampled the cherry ice cream, which was icy but had good flavor. Highlight of all the cherry items was the pie- sooooo good! We bought a whole one. Service was efficient and super friendly, the front patio was a lovely place to dine, and the music was great, too. All and all, the perfect end to a great day of hiking in Sleeping Bear Dunes. read more

Stoped in here for dinner after a long day of travel and even though it was busy we were seated right away and had drinks before we knew it. They had outdoor and indoor seating, with live music out back. Our food came out pretty quick and was delicious. The grounds consist of three total buildings, the restaurant, a shop to sample and buy all things cherry, an ice cream shop and a winery. Very cute place even if you don't eat here I recommend checking it out and doing a little "cherry" shopping read more
