We went to Moomers on our trip to northern Michigan. Moomers is an ice cream place located on a…read morefarm west of Traverse City. The ice cream was rich and was nice potions. We had Cherries Moobilee. It had plenty of cherries, chunks of brownie, with a chocolate swirl. We had a small, but it was very generous. There were a variety of favors. I wish I had room for more. There were a few tables indoors and outdoor seating at picnic tables on a deck overlooking the farm. The service was quick, and workers were helpful. You may have to seek it out, but it is worth the effort. I would definitely recommend Moomers.

This place was right on the farm. Besides just regular ice cream, they had sundaes, floats,…read moreflurries, old fashioned sodas, etc. There were plenty of choices to choose from. The lengthy line moved quickly with an efficient process by the staff. An ice cream flight ($10?) was ordered. Five flavors were chosen. Each was about half a scoop I would say. The flavors I tried are below. Most of the ice cream was fulfilling, but not as creamy as I would have thought being homemade. Black Cherry - This was black cherry ice cream with pieces of Michigan cherry pieces. This was plain and did not really taste like anything except for the cherry pieces. Cherries Moobilee - This was black cherry ice cream with chocolate fudge swirl, brownie chunks, and black cherry chunks. Again, the ice cream was plain, but the pieces of everything else helped overcome that a little bit. Cherry Pie a La Mode - This was vanilla ice cream with cherry swirl and pie pieces. This was my favorite. The cherry swirl combined with the small pie pieces made for an appealing treat. Butter Pecan - This again just lacked flavor besides the pecan pieces. Lemon Raspberry - This was lemon ice cream with a raspberry swirl. This was just not good at all. The lemon did not taste like lemon at all, and there was hardly any raspberry. Even with a small portion, I would expect the swirl to be in every bite. Will I go back? Debatable.

A Bellaire classic! There was a line out the door on the 4th of July but it moved fairly quickly…read more Portions are huge and the quality of the soft serve, hot fudge and cookie dough were all very good. Love a sundae with whipped cream and a cherry and glad it was included at Ruthie's. We did not get chicken but smelled it on the patio haha. Ample seating outside. Friendly hardworking staff.

This was one of the worst experiences I've had a business. Not only was the service horrible, slow…read moreand rude but the atmosphere in the restaurant was gross and tacky. The restaurant was covered in horrendous ai stickers which were being sold for outrageous prices. However the ridiculous pricing didn't stop there. The food was laughably priced. 9 dollars for a sandwich, not including a drink or a side. A side was 7 dollars and a drink 3 and I'm rounding down. When ordering the ladies there were obviously not enthused and had no care on how long people might wait. They even forgot my mother's drink and made her pay for another. Once again the inside was dirty. When the food, ever so slowly, came we sat outside. I will admit that was the only nice part, we sat outside with an umbrella shading us. When finally seeing the food I almost had hope that it might be good, not enough to justify the exorbitant pricing but good. The sandwhich looked big and the onion rings looked well fried. However when I took a bite of the sandwich I was extremely disappointed. Not a lick of seasons and the patty was absolutely disgustingly cheap and tough. You would be better off at McDonalds. The onion rings while more visually appealing were also quite bland. And the size of the large drink was not nearly big enough to justify the price. The real kicker is for three people it was almost 80 dollars. It would be better to eat at McDonalds and get ice cream at fudgee's in the next town over.

This was the perfect stop for a quick ice cream run after dinner with friends.

They offer an entirely separate vegan menu with multiple flavors to choose from, which was so appreciated. I sampled the chocolate vegan ice cream and it was absolutely incredible -- rich, creamy, and full of flavor. It genuinely tasted like premium ice cream, not just a substitute. If you're vegan and visiting the Traverse City area, this is definitely a must-stop dessert spot!

I ordered the birthday cake ice cream, which surprisingly did not have the typical "birthday cake" look with sprinkles or bright colors. They definitely focus on only using natural ingredients and no artificial flavorings, which I appreciate. I didn't really get the "birthday cake" flavor that much, though. The flavor was almost too natural and tasted like straight heavy cream when I took my first bite lol. I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but you can never go wrong with ice cream and it was still good.

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!

Alpine Chocolat Haus is one of those places we come back to again and again, and it never…read moredisappoints! They are almost always busy which honestly tells you everything you need to know but somehow the staff keeps things moving quickly while still being incredibly friendly and kind. We've never felt rushed or like the quality suffers just because there's a line. Everything we've tried has been delicious, and there is just something extra special about grabbing a treat and heading outside to enjoy it right on the water. The views are absolutely beautiful, especially around sunset, and it has become one of those simple little experiences our family genuinely loves. Great treats, great people, fast service, and one of the prettiest places to sit and enjoy it. An easy five stars from a family that keeps coming back!
