Meat and cheese is packed on too.

I door dashed myself a turkey club because I was starving. This was literally the best turkey club…read moreI have ever had! The turkey was thick cuts of over roasted turkey. Not lunch meat.

Was up in TC for work and got recommend to stop here for a sandwich. I was very impressed! The…read morespace is small and it's connected to a wine bar and shop but the food was delicious. You see lots of locals and the staff knows everyone by name which I love to see! I got a turkey sandwich with a LOT of turkey. Even tho I heard some construction guys talk about how sandwiches use to be 6 dollars back when they were in HS I thought the prices were fair for 2026. For 11 bucks and some change, I'd say it was worth the money! Next time I'm up north for work I will return for lunch!

I was originally heading to Jersey Mike's for a go-to sandwich, but spotted The Chef's In and…read moredecided to give it a try, so glad I did. I had the Turkey & Swiss, and it was absolutely phenomenal. Fresh ingredients, flavorful, and the sauces they use really take it up a notch. It was a bit crowded and there was a wait, but the small-town vibe and quality made it worth it. Prices are a little on the higher side for the portion size, but the flavor and experience made up for it. Very happy I stopped in.

I hate walnuts and I hate nuts in my bread! I wish they had warned me or had a sign about it. We got the 3 little cinnamon rolls and they were good but Omlette Shoppe has the best cinnamon rolls.

The French toast just tasted ok, nothing exciting about it. Service: Friendly faces excited to help, can't ask for more than that. Ambiance: the place smells amazing as does the walk up to it.

Slabtown Burgers absolutely lived up to the recommendations! This was our first visit to Traverse…read moreCity, and a few Michigan natives told us we needed to stop here. So glad we listened! I ordered the blue burger with a pretzel bun, and that bun upgrade is the move. I'm a bleu cheese lover, so take that for what it's worth, but this was the best bacon and bleu burger I've had. They combine the bleu cheese crumbles with cream cheese, which mellows that stronger flavor without losing the goodness. Even if bleu cheese isn't usually your thing, this one deserves a shot. My advice? Find someone to split a burger with so you have room for fries AND onion rings. No regrets. The service made the whole experience even better. You can tell these folks care about more than serving a great meal -- they want you to enjoy your time in Traverse City, too. An easy 10/10!
