We decided to drive a little way out of town to avoid the Traverse City busy traffic so we went up…read moreto elk Rapids and found this river walk Grill, which looked really nice from the outside. The food was actually fine, but I thought the prices were a little high for what you actually got. I got salmon tacos and they were fine. They had sufficient amount of food inside and the ingredients were good. My friend got the fish sandwich and he said it was fine. My friend got an Arnold Palmer to drink and the total bill with tipping all ended up being $60 which I thought was a little steep for two sandwiches and an Arnold Palmer so I wouldn't come here again because of the price.

We took advantage of a beautiful sunny day to take a day trip around parts of Northern Michigan…read more After walking through Art in the Park, we decided to try Pearls for Lunch. The ambiance reminds you of a Louisiana Cajun bistro with all the eclectic decor to match. It was busy, with a wait for tables, so we elected to sit at the bar. Our server recognized us, and said he would be with us in a minute, as he was taking care of other patrons and bringing out their meals as well. We appreciate at least being recognized, and understand when an establishment is busy. We chose the Fried Green Tomatoes, which were really tasty. Corn meal fried and served over creole sauce, topped with shaved Parmesan. For our entree we had the Bronzed Cajun Alfredo. You can choose either Chicken Breast or Jumbo Shrimp, we chose the Shrimp. The portions are generous so we split this dish. The Cajun Alfredo sauce was really good, "kind of want to lick the plate tasty" :) The pasta and shrimp were both cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive and friendly. Good experience. Would recommend checking it out if in Elk Rapids.

We visited Pearl's Wednesday evening & immediately got seated with our party of 11. Our server Jay…read moredid a fantastic job, checking on us several times, refilling drinks, & getting anything we needed throughout the meal. He did a great job. The restaurant itself was decorated with a New Orleans vibe. Made me feel like I was eating in the Big Easy. As for the food, I can't speak for everyone, but I can speak for my family. I got the étouffée. It was almost all rice. And it tasted a little burnt. I also got a cup of the crawfish chowder. It was very good. The biggest disappointment was what my son ordered, the frog legs. He's 13 & loves frog legs. What he got was something more the size of front frog legs. They were TINY & there were only 3 single legs. Typically, restaurants serve frog legs in pairs. This was particularly disappointing because these cost $15!

It's…read moresuper conveniently located, especially if you're spending the day out on the lake, and you can dock your boat right there after a long day of boating. It's such a great place to grab a bite, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere. The service was fast and exceptional. Our food came out quickly and everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. We started with the fried pickles, which were SO good! Although, I have to say, they may want to consider renaming them because they were actually more like a ham, cheese, and pickle egg roll--and honestly, I'm not mad about it because they were delicious! We also ordered the shrimp tacos, which were super flavorful and yummy, and the signature cheeseburger with everything on it, which was cooked absolutely perfectly. Everything hit the spot after being out on the lake. We got the onion rings which were perfectly crispy and sweet potato fries that maybe could've been a fried a little bit longer but still good! Definitely a great casual spot to stop by if you're spending the day on Torch Lake. The convenient location, fun marina atmosphere, quick service, and solid food make this a place I'd happily come back to!

Cod basket - some pieces were not fully cooked and the nachos had way too much cabbage and not enough cheese.

On balance, you're here for convenience and sunset views only

Yesenia took our order Order A2 the food taco salad and arrow con Pollo it came just like ordered, and Yesenia never came back to check on us, she looked at us but never came to ask if things tasted OK or if we needed another beverage. When it came time to pay, my husband put his debit card on the table and then she showed up and cashed us out. Poor service was given to us that night and it usually isnt. Yesenia needs to watch herself and check on all her tables as if it were her job, cuz it is her job.

There are limited restaurant options closer to Interlochlen unless we drove through Traverse City. No reservations required. Super busy, but they get people in pretty quickly. Once seated, we started off with the smoked trout and artichoke dip. The dip was fantastic! We could have used more crackers, but we finished it! For my cocktail, I enjoyed an espresso martini. For dinner, my husband and I got the Friday trout special with mushroom risotto and broccoli. My mom got the two smoked meat platter with wings and ribs. To end the night, we shared a slice of coconut cream pie. Delicious! Definitely would stop by again if we were in the area.
