Mushroom and swiss cheese hamburger.
Tammy D.

A very nice establishment with 2 sides or restaurant areas. We sat at the bar and had a beer for $5. The hamburgers were very good with chips and a pickle. Cash is less, credit card charge is more, not sure how much.

Yay!! We made it to Traverse City! We checked into our condo and then decided to explore. There were so many places to choose from. We came in here for a quick drink and chose a quiet spot by the window to sit and people watch while we enjoyed each others company. We didn't eat, just has a drink and moved on. But the atmosphere was warm and the staff and patrons were kind. The drinks were cold and delicious. If you're in the area check it out.

Terrific place for lunch! The generous 1/2 pound burgers are made with meat provided by the excellent local butcher, MaxBauer. Mine was cooked rare, just as ordered.

Santa Fe Egg Rolls

Very cute little pub with a great atmosphere. We had the southwest egg rolls which were a phenomenal appetizer. My wife enjoyed Honey Sriracha Chicken tacos that featured juicy grilled chicken chunks coated in a sweet sriracha sauce with shredded cabbage. These were very tasty and a cool twist on a taco. I had the BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich and it was an average flavored pulled pork that could have been juicier and the bbq sauce was a little too sweet. Our only other critique was that plain tortilla chips with your sandwiches is a little odd. Need to add some salsa with them or something. Overall a great place that we will definitely stop at again if passing through!!!

You if want a bar to chill and just talk it's okay. Good music and attentive bar staff. Clean bathrooms and cool old safes in the hallway.

Dillinger's and their sister bar Bootlegger's combined, not only have the best bar food in town, but their bathroom facilities are great. Not only does Bootlegger's brag a 3 urinal wall, the enclosed pooping area is always clean and fully stocked. I will eat and poop there again.

Baby Face Burger, Italian Monster Sub, and what's left of our Sante Fe Rolls (it came with 6,)

Great Food. Great ambiance. Great service. The burger was huge and a large amount of fries (they're an up charge from chips), the Italian Sub was the star of the show though, it was amazing! The Sante Fe rolls were good but very cheese heavy, but that's just a preference thing.

Good bar food and nice portions. Fried food doesn't have a chemical taste. Staff were very friendly.

The atmosphere here feels like a modern brewery with a casual vibe…read more I ordered a half dozen Cherry Porter Bbq Chicken Wings ($12). The slight cherry tang invthe bbq sauce created a very appetizing taste. The wings were cooked perfectly and I highly enjoyed them. I ordered the Pork Chop dinner ($29). This is a local michigan-raised pork with a cherry apple chutney. The pork chop was excellent and the cherry apple chutney was a great addition. It came with mashed potatoes and a cucumber corn medley. They both were very good. North Peak Brewing makes their own Root Beer. Honestly that why I chose to come here. Thankfully the Root Beer was excellent. The service was friendly, but not very efficient. I think they are short staffed because the bar tender was also my waiter and he was busy bartendering! Overall I still rate this a 5 star review. The Wings, Pork Chop, and Root Beer were all excellent and I would return for any of them. So yes I would Return.

I haven't been here for years, and was so happy to see that the menu still had my favorite Monte Cristo and beer cheese soup! Prices are high because it's Traverse City, so that doesn't bother me and you get the soup for 5 bucks when you add it to a meal! Nice! We started with the calamari - small portion, but it was hot and fresh and plenty for 2 people to share. I also had a small house salad, and added white cheddar for $1 (that was a good suggestion from our server Kylie!). The pesto ranch was great too. I love their main IPA, they do a great job, and it is always on the menu (versus seasonal). I love how this place is laid out, there are lots of wooden booths that feel quiet and private. The only reason for taking off a star is the parking. It's incredible that for a large restaurant, they share a small lot with multiple businesses. Everything else is great and you will appreciate the consistency and the spaciousness of this restaurant!

They also make the best bloody mary's with all the appetizers in it. Its pretty cool. On the hotter days they have adult milk shakes also. This is the best place for eating if you are in the area.

The 1/2 pound burger is topped with Fried Cheese, Fresh Jalapeño, Pulled Pork, Cole Slaw, Haystack Onions, Bourbon BBQ Sauce. The burger was very good with a few caveats. The pulled pork is very average and doesn't add anything to the burger. The fried cheese was very good and did add to thd burger. The bourbon bbq sauce was meh and didn't add much. However the meat itself is excellent and I think a plainer burger would have been better. The fries that came with the burger were very good. I also ordered a Chocolate Shake and it was fantastic. the service was very good and everyone was very friendly. Overall a solid 4 star review. Would I return? Absolutely. Definitely for the shakes and I very much believe a simpler burger would have been better.
