First time trying a cudighe and it was delicious! Hit the spot perfectly after a long drive down from Copper Harbor. They were open late and fed four hungry hikers. Others had pasties and liked them but I was glad I made my choice. It was kind of like a chicken parm sandwich, but with sausage instead of chicken. Highly recommend! read more

On my recent tour of the Upper Peninsula, I checked off another pasty shop when we stopped a Lawry's on our way from Marquette to the Porcupine Mountains. The shop is not much to look at and we actually drove right past it even though we were looking for it. But I turned around at the next road -- and I'm glad I did because they make a pretty good pasty. I opted for frozen take away since the plan was to bake them for dinner when we got back to Wisconsin later that evening. My experience with frozen pasties is that if they are good to begin with, they'll be good when you bake them. And that was true for Lawry's. The crust and crimp nicely browned. The balance between meat and potatoes was perfect with just enough basic seasoning (salt and pepper) to bring out the flavor. I know everyone has their favorite when it comes to pasties -- I do too -- I like the ones I make at home the best ;) -- but I'll put Lawry's right up near the top of my list for pasty shops in the UP. read more

Lawry's Ishpeming - Take and bake. An excellent Original 12 Oz Beef Pasty from Lawry's. - American Near Me - Ishpeming, Michigan

We stop every time we are in town. The best Pasties, Cudighi's and pizza around. Normally 6 frozen pasties for the trip home.

Good pizza and cudhigi's, the service is average and the food taste great and the have a mini shop in there too

Always great food and friendly staff. Would recommend cudighis pasties and pizzas. Their other sandwiches are good as well. They have fresh baked cookies and cinnamon rolls. read more

Are the Pasties here amaze balls? Hell yes! But let's talk about coleslaw for a hot minutes. This was creamy and Horseradishy!!!! OMG! I could eat it the rest of my life. The Pastie was soft, flaky, meaty, and as it turns out my husband and I seem to really like rutabagas. The gravy was standard but not overly salty and we love that. I just hate when all I get is salty taste. We value the flavor of the ingredients. Also beware that pasty is piping hot. The gravy was cold in the fridge so I was happy for it to make my pastie an edible temp right away. read more

No frills a place to set and eat pizza, pastys or a cudighi an Italian pork patty of immense favor it was delicious. The young lady was awesome she never stopped baking and was a wealth of knowledge while I was waiting for my cudighi which is great, but be sure to pickup some pickles and the Ketchapeno ketchup better than spicy Whataburger Ketchup. read more

Authentic UP food including pasties and extremely large cudighi's make it a must stop when in Ishpeming. The pizza also looked fantastic and will be my choice for my next visit. read more

Lawry's Ishpeming - Cudigi - American Near Me - Ishpeming, Michigan

Lawrys in west Ishpeming is the best. The cudighi's are so big. Way more then one meal for most. Fast service and great staff.

Driving for miles on a cold and snowy road, Lawry's was a site for sore eyes. The Upper Peninsula is known for their pasty shops, and there was no better time to stop for one. My wife and I shared one large beef pasty and it was everything we hoped it would be. It was the fuel we needed to continue our road trip through the unexpected snowstorm. Thank you guys! read more

This is always a go-to restaurant in my house and I love their cudigh! The pizza is very greasy but still good. The pickup service is very useful ands it's a cute little restaurant! Would recommend read more

Best Cudaghi in the UP!! Be ready to share, they are huge. Home made rolls. Cookies are great too. read more

Lawry's Ishpeming - one half of a Cudaghi!! - American Near Me - Ishpeming, Michigan

great place to come and eat brunch! Decided to order some beef pasties, and they are good! Had to go to the bathroom aswell, they are very clean! 5 stars. Perfect. Thanks for reading my review, have a great day! read more

Worth the drive for the best cudaghis on earth. Lawrys doesn't disappoint - pasty's not bad either!!!

Great pizza, Italian sausage sandwiches and pastries. All made from scratch with a plethora of toppings. Decent prices too.

Best Pasties I have EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! The buttery crust is mindblowing, cooked in the original oven yo! Super delicious! They have really amazing gravy and cole slaw also! read more

My favorite Pasty. The perfect blend of beef, potato, rutabaga, (not too much) onions & spices "all wrapped up in our signature crust". Their Cudighi is huge and delicious. I've also heard the pizza is amazing which wouldn't surprise me. Although it would be hard to NOT get a Pasty here, I look forward to trying some of their other items some day (sandwiches, pizzas). WAH! read more

Great food and even better staff!! I end up talking and laughing more than I eat when I pick up our food!! Love these folks!! read more

This place is no joke. Consistent hours when many places can't provide that with staffing issues. Delicious cudighi sandwiches (half is probably more than enough). THE MOST AMAZING BREAKFAST PASTIES. Wonderful "regular" pasties as well. To top it all off, the staff is patient, accommodating and kind. Walked in 20 minutes before closing this last time, 10 hours into my drive, and got ZERO attitude. Phone rang at 9:55pm for a pizza while I was there waiting, again, zero attitude from those guys. I stop every trip (always Ishpeming) and stock up on frozen and we enjoy from the LP until the next visit. Can't say enough about this place. read more

A great pasty option in the U.P.! The best part is that they can ship their pasties to you - a rarity for pasty shops! My personal fave is the veggie - it's got a little somethin' somethin' that the meat doesn't. Make it worth your while and order a dozen since you're paying for shipping w/ dry ice anyway. Heating instructions come on the package! read more

Amazing find on our way to Marquette. Everything is freshly made and the staff is very friendly. The Italian sandwich and pasty was delicious. A must stop! read more

I ordered a dozen "original 12 oz beef pasty - classic (beef, potato, onion and rutabagas" online. Over $100. Had them for dinner. We were disappointed because there was "NO RUTABAGA" in the ingredients. Very disappointed in their false advertising. read more

Classic pasties and cudighi shop does not disappoint. Fresh and flavorful selections. Pizza is top notch. Bakery selections include cinnamon rolls and cookies as big as your head. Delicious and freshly prepared. Easy to overlook driving by but worth a stop or even a special trip for the best in Upper Peninsula cuisine read more

Outstanding pasties from Lawry's Pasties in Ishpeming yesterday! Had a classic-sized pasty. It was delicious, meaty, flavorful. One of the best pasties I've ever had! read more

Delicious food and outstanding value. Enormous portions. Some people say the pizza is the best choice, and I can't argue. Known for pasties and baked goods. Delicious and affordable. Easy to miss on the highway but set your GPS and stop in. Never disappoints! read more

Really outstanding. I've eaten many pasties over the years and these were great. So good, I ate a second one. The place is rather ordinary but clean. Pasties are reasonable and very tasty. They sell pizzas too, but I haven't tried them. As for me, another pasty for lunch tomorrow. read more

Don't let the appearance fool you. Great food,Great people treated us like kings. Will be back In spring time,for sure... read more

Years ago I was headed south after a week on Isle Royale and stopped into this unassuming spot for a cudighi. Ever since, I plan every trip to the UP around a stop at Lawry's: a cudighi for me and a bunch of pasties to bring the family downstate. Delicious and authentic UP specialties, great prices and friendly staff. This place is a real Michigan institution. read more

As far as pasties go, these are good. I maybe a pasty snob growing up on my grandma's. However these were very good.

Yah hey dare. This is the closest pasty shop to my cabin in Michigamme. The pasties are good and the crust is something that I think is unique to Lawry's. By unique i mean it doesn't taste like shit. Most of the other pasty places seem to have that problem They have sandwiches that would feed an army but they are kind of blah but I'm just reviewing the pasties. Whenever the D gets to be too much for me I load Destro in the car and we head on up to the cabin and pick a few of these up. Destro gets to waggin' his tail and he gets some of the crust and he agrees. Its the best in the world. So two thumbs and two paws way up! read more

So delicious! Ordered a hot and tasty pasty for the road And found my new favorite pasty shop.

This was my first UP visit in 30 years, so I hungered for a UP traditional pasty! No gravy of course, just ketchup! After hitting Dobbers, Jean Kay's, and Iron Pasty----the pasty from Lawrys was the best. Tasty crust, tasty meat, potato and rutabaga! What I liked about Lawrys is the filing was the way I remembered from back in the day. Dobbers and Iron Pasty had little taste and Jean Kay's was just ok, but the weird large chunks of steak seemed out of place. If you are in the Yooper and want to try an old fashioned pasty----Lawrys is the place! read more

Lawry's Ishpeming - American Near Me - Ishpeming, Michigan

Not the best pasties. They tasted like ground up mushy Dinty Moore stew. I love pasties and I couldn't even finish a small one. It was just not good. The service was rude and the young man couldn't wait to go sit back down at a table to get back to his phone. Keep driving. read more

My favorite thing from Lawry's, is actually not even a pasty at all (although they are great). It would have to be the BBQ Pork sandwich. Their rolls (from scratch like everything else here), are soft and the pork is packed with flavor. Did I mention this sandwich is practically the size of an adult's face? It is huge! They have many kinds of sandwiches, and I have heard the pizza is also fantastic. read more

I love the pizza here, the pasty is decent. If you love pizza give Lawry's a try, they do pizzas better then the pasty.

Another must have when I return to the UP. These Pasties are a crowd pleaser and fill you up right quick. The crust is perfect and the filling is always seasoned just right. read more

All my pasty eating has been down along the Wisconsin banana belt below Milwaukee. Several were pretty good. When I told yooper friends I'd be in Ishpeming, they insisted I eat here. They were RIGHT! The beef pasty is crisp outside and hot, steamy and full of delicious high-quality ingredients on the inside. Excellent! read more

Lawry's Ishpeming - Teaching people da language! - American Near Me - Ishpeming, Michigan

My husband brought home a dozen of the mini pasties after he ate there on a trip. We cooked them up today for lunch. They weren't long in the oven before the most wonderful smell started drawing everyone into the kitchen. They were SO good! The crust was lighter than some pasty crusts I have had and the inside was tender and tasty. The mini's could be served as an appetizer because they are just so cute, delicious and can be finished in a couple of bites. read more

I am a pastie junkie...seriously. It is in my blood- so when I get to the northwoods, I buy as much and as many as I can. When I was here last weekend, I spent over a $100. I have over two dozen pasties from two different places and this place was AWESOME! We were there at 8 AM on a Sunday and I had a breakfast pastie and the husband had the local sausage cudighi. Both were fantastic. I bought six of their large and six of their breakfast and I can't be happier. BONUS: They deliver to my house.... If I am willing to pay the s/h charges. Which I am. :) read more

This is my family's favorite pasty shop when we come to visit in the summer. We were warmly greeted when we entered. I went there for lunch and really liked the small sized pasty, which was served piping hot and perfectly seasoned. Rob made my 3 year old a special off menu grilled cheese, and my son ate 3/4 of this giant sandwich. Everybody had a nice lunch. read more
