Perfectly steamed buns with a delish roasted dawg slathered with tasty chili, sweet chopped onions & pure yellow mustard! Their fries are fresh, crispy but fluffy innards. They carry loads of canned pop (Verner's if you please) but also offer fountain service. Quick, clean & friendly servers who hassle their sumptuous treats from the one man kitchen to your booth. Lots of skateboarding decor & you are asked to bus your own table. Minor issue after a pair of goodies, fries & a Doc Brown's Vanilla Cream Soda. Trust me in this one - beats the joints in the 313 district!

Omg! Best chili dogs on the planet!! Can't wait til they are back from winter break!!read more

We ordered the English muffin ham, egg and cheese sandwich with 2 eggs over easy. It was messy but delicious!! We also ordered the Boursin cheese omelette that is served on a tortilla with fresh tomatoes. Both of these were AMAZING and we found Cracked the next day and got the exact same order plus pancakes before our drive home. Bottom line this place is legit. The ham is about 1/2" thick and full of flavors and the Boursin cheese really adds a great flavor to the omelette! Thanks for the great breakfasts!

You can create your own picnic per say. The pancakes were delicious! They were fluffy and tasteful. For something lighter, I also got the roasted asparagus and tomato egg wrap which was also delicious. If you want to avoid lines at the restaurant or want something quick - this is definitely a place to try in Traverse City!

We stopped here two consecutive days for food and treats. Monday afternoon we had a boat ride and…read morestopped at the public dock in town which was a short walk to the store. They had a great selection of sandwiches (yes and hot dogs!) and and 8 flavors of hard packed ice cream PLUS malts, shakes, sundaes and floats. We had a couple of sandwiches and ice cream at lunch and the next night went back for ice cream and shakes. The malts and shakes were outstanding. What made this an outstanding experience both times was the amazing staff. Both times we visited there was a crew of young men running the place. They were as nice as they were efficient. Plus it looked like they were having fun. Made us smile and think of summer jobs in our youth.

We only went here for ice cream on a Tuesday evening and it was decently busy and the ice cream was…read moredecadent and delicious. My son got the Harry Potter inspired butter, beer flavor, and loved it. They have lots of great options and there's lots of food available as well. The service was great and the ambience has the vibes of an old hotdog diner style place. It has really great outdoor seating as well as seating inside. It's worth a try if you are in the Lake Leelanau area and especially if you have kids who want ice cream after dinner or want to have their dinner and ice cream in the same place.

For anyone camping at Petoskey State Park or passing by on local trails, this stop is a must. The severs were efficient and kept the line moving.

Recently some friends and I found ourselves in the area, conveniently at lunch time, so we stopped and grabbed a burger. I got a mushroom swiss burger and had them hold the lettuce and tomato. My burger was real good, and my friends assured me that theirs were as well. One of my friends got their olive burger and it looked amazing. We got one order of regular fries and one of waffle fries. They have some good dipping sauces for the fries and the two orders were more than enough for the four of us. The service was great and we were impressed with how well they quickly cleaned vacated tables. This is a food truck that travels between a few of the towns up by Cadillac, all seating is outside on picnic tables. I'm glad I finally got to try this place and I'm looking forward to returning.

This was my first time ever visiting an A&W and it was everything I expected…read more This is a perfect restaurant for a small town where generations can reminisce about past experiences. The restaurant is large inside and can easily accommodate dinner group sizes. The menu options are straightforward. They have different variations of a burger and hot dog. I opted for the Papa Burger. The service was okay, the waitress kept telling me certain things weren't on the burger when the menu clearly stated what comes on the burger. Overall, the burger was good. I also tried a few bites of my husband's mushroom onion melt burger. That was really tasty as well. I would definitely visit again!

Fantastic sandwich and pizza option if you're headed to or from Sleeping Bear Dunes!…read more We came across Shipwreck Cafe after stopping for gas next door on the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes. We wanted a kid friendly option and came in for the pizza, but ended up being blown away by the massive sandwich menu! Don't be discouraged by the line - it moves FAST!!!! The young people at the register and in the kitchen are efficient and so nice!!! We arrived about half an hour before the sign says pizzas are ready, and the lovely man at the register said "sure!" when we asked if we could order a pizza. The menu has something for everyone - Including plenty of vegetarian options (I think they even had a vegan option). I loved my Griffon, and the meat eaters in our group enjoyed the SS Noronic (a BLT) and the Fitzgerald. Our kids devoured their cheese pizza! They also carry Great Lakes Co Chips, which are some of the best potato chips we've ever had. Our sandwiches were all so inventive with delicious, fresh ingredients, amazing condiments, and the most freshly baked "pretzel rolls" ever. If this place wasn't a vacation stop for us, we'd be back all the time! Our kiddos favorite part, bedsides the pizza, were the tiny plastic swords that came in our sandwiches holding them together. When they each wanted one more sword, we went back inside and the staff inside was so used to kids asking for more tiny swords that their response to "May we have two more swords?" Was "Sure! What colors?!" Very different from what the response would have been where we're from. :) We even came back later in the day for the frozen custard!!! All in all, it was a great experience with great food, great service, plenty of outdoor picnic tables under umbrellas, and something for everyone to eat.

Don't let the humble exterior fool you and don't be discouraged by the line (it moves fast). This place is top notch. We got there around noon on a busy August Friday and there were maybe 15 people ahead of us. The guy at the counter takes your order and gives you a buzzer to notify you when to come back inside to grab your food. It's pretty small inside but there are a ton of picnic tables in the grassy areas outside. I got the -"three brothers" which was basically an Italian sub with a lot of fresh prosciutto, salami and ham, juicy tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, lots of bell peppers and Italian dressing-delicious! My wife loved the chicken salad wrap (with cherries of course) and couldn't finish it-did I mention the sandwiches are HUGE and a great value. Our order was ready in about 5-10 minutes. The also sell chips and bottled drinks or go next door to the gas station and get a fountain drink. Super friendly and wonderful, high quality food. Definitely recommended
