    Stuffed Hash Browns
    Montana L.

    Stopped in here on our way out of Traverse City. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I ordered the stuffed hash brown- they were really Crispy and had bacon, cheese, green pepper, and onion mixed in. I upgraded to the Reeces flapjacks. They did not disappoint! Tasted like a Morning dessert. Pancakes topped with peanut butter and ice cream topped with chocolate- definitely sweet! Definitely be back

    This place was SO GOOD! Sitting by the window enjoying watching the snow fall while eating some of the best breakfast I've ever had will be a core memory for sure

    Banana Bread French Toast
    Jacob S.

    One of the breakfast stops while visiting the area. Inside is a step back into time with vintage decor and awesome style, hello 1970! Service was great, seated quickly and our waitress never let our cups run empty. She has very good menu recommendations where anything is customizable. I had the hungry man omelette. Stuffed with everything but the kitchen sink it was fluffy and had loads of flavor. I upgraded to banana bread French toast. It was awesome. Fresh bananas, walnuts and a sweet sauce atop. Not overly sweet, but a nice compliment to the omelette.

    Bloody Mary

    A group of us were looking for a breakfast spot before heading to the airport and we found this one! They have an extensive menu with both sweet and savory items and we had amazing service. I ended up ordering the veggie scramble with egg whites which came with a side of potatoes and upgraded to blueberry flap jacks (thought to try the flap jacks since the name of the restaurant but you also had the option of toast). Overall I enjoyed them, wish they would've used some fresh blueberries and the Bloody Mary I had was a little stronger and spicier. I'd recommend this spot!

    Breakfast Mozzarella sticks...which are just mozzarella sticks but in the morning.
    Brent M.

    Anyplace you can order mozzarella sticks off the menu for breakfast is a place that will always hold a special place in my heart. However, these MS (mozzarella sticks), kind of missed their mark. The breading was more of a fried breading which is my fave as compared to the actual breaded breading. But the cheese part of the cheese stick just felt a little flat. More gooey/runny than stringy/chewy, which always brings MS to top tier. My main meal was the Sunrise Special, which sets you up for the potential of meal that will get you rip roaring to start your day. In reality, this meal mostly gave me a little nudge to start my day. And not even really a heartfelt nudge. More like the kind of nudge you give your grandma when the check out line is moving and she's standing there reading the magazine headlines. My scrambled eggs were the type that were scrambled then spread out on the cook surface to cook before being sliced up and laid awkwardly across my plate. 4/10. My Spuds (cubed and fried potatoes) were decent. Salt, pepper, and ketchup go a long way here. They tried hard, I'll give them that. 5.5/10. My pancakes really fumbled the ball here. Visually, they looked good. But they were dense and tasted of too much flour or pancake mix or sadness. 3/10. I am a man of bacon. It is my spirit animal. I prefer it limp. Or floppy. Or loose. Or lightly cooked. However, I always struggle to find a restaurant to perfect the limp bacon cooking method. 5/10 on limpness.

    Biscuits and gravy
    Sabra Chicki D.

    So much fun. Looks just like 60's diner and the food is great. I hade cherry stuffed French toast and my husband had biscuits md gravy. Both excellent.

    Kids Menu

    We were unable to add our name to the waiting list online with a group more than 4. When we arrived we added our name and gave a phone number for them to text when our table was ready. They estimated 35 minutes but it only ended up being 15, which was great! (Once we left I overheard the hostess tell someone it was an hour and 15 minute wait) Our server was so so kind and I feel bad that I don't even know her name. She was so accommodating of our group of 8 (4 kids, 4 adults). All orders were correct! We did have to ask for syrup and the drinks the kids had ordered with their meals but it really wasn't a huge deal at all. Everything was delicious and I liked the view! The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I took kids to the bathroom and someone was vaping/taking up space. My guess is she knew the hostess, who was in a stall. When one of the kids I was with was done in the bathroom they washed their hands. But the hostess came out from the stall, stood for about a second and realized kids are absolutely slow as heck, so she walked out. My hope is that she washed her hands in the kitchen but I cringed each time she walked past our table with rolled silverware and menus in her hand for the rest of our time there. A great reminder to wash your hands!

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.

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!

Slabtown is an…read moreabsolute 'must' for any burger lovers visiting TC; especially in the summertime when you can sit outside on their porch or surrounding patio. It's an old house that has been transformed into a burger destination. The inside is cramped, especially in the order area when they're busy, and indoor seating is tough to come by at peak times. The service has never been anything short of excellent on our visits. The staff is welcoming, helpful, patient, and friendly. Service is quick, even when they're slammed. Phenomenal burgers, O-rings, tots, and sweet potato fries. The Northwood's DRAFT (not fountain) root beer is a perfect pairing with their burgers. Slabtown's menu of specialty burgers is enormous and the BYO options include different protein choices and excellent GF buns. I've tried many of their burgers, but have to say that the Slabby Patty on a pretzel bun and the Pungi's Pepper Patty really stood out as a couple of my favorites. For a really sinful (and unhealthy) treat, ask for the gravy tots. Oh brother...insanely good but definitely a guilty pleasure. We've sent tons of our friends and family here, and I can tell you that every one of them has thanked us for the recommendation and raved about their burgers. So what are you waiting for?
