I travel for work, and when in the UP, I look for local businesses and local flavors, Sherrie's is a place I look forward to every time I head north.

When in the area, on your way past the tourist traps, this joint will take good care of you.

No complaints from either group! Portions were decent sized, feeding our hunger pangs for this meal & the next. Some of choices included the house poutine, skillet lasagna, marry me Alfredo, the filet, & yooper Wellington. Everything tasted great. Highly recommend the Wellington. It had a flaky, buttery crust wrapped around a tender, melt in your mouth filet. Save room for dessert. I don't care for bread pudding... Their cherry bread pudding changed my mind! It was delicious!!! It was like the combine the crispy parts of a cobbler with the soft gooey of a warm bread pudding, warmed it and then topped it with sweet cherries and vanilla ice cream!

The evening we were there they had small bluegrass type band that were a little loud for the smallish dining room, but it was very nice to have entertainment. Our waitress was working her butt off and was a little short at first, but was friendlier as our evening went on. I absolutely loved the French Onion Soup. Definitely in my top 5! For my main meal I ordered the Yooper Wellington which sounded so good I had to try it. The problem I had (which was clearly stated in the menu) was that the meat was cooked rare. Thought I could handle "rare" but turns out I couldn't handle this rare! Ended up taking a lot home... so I could cook it a little more! Nothing wrong with the flavor, it was just not my thing! I'm sure if I ordered anything else this would be a 5 star review because it was a nice place and I enjoyed everything else.

It was excellent. Food and service were excellent. We are a product of the South and dont have much whitefish and walleye available. I had the walleye sticks appetizer with an order of fries and my wife had the whitefish cakes. Both were delicious. Fries were obviously hand-cut and large; also very hot. Our server was great! The best part of the meal was the BREAD STICKS! It appeared that the sticks are baked in a round pattern, like a pizza, and then cut into sticks. They were so hot, I couldn't hold them until they cooled a little bit. The accompanying spread was excellent; also marinara sauce. One could make a meal from the bread sticks. The vibe was pleasantly rustic. We decided on a booth instead of seats at the bar. Again, our server was great. The guy who brought out the bread sticks was equally good. I suppose the bread sticks are brought to the table directly from the oven. Highly recommend this place!

You cannot beat a classic, especially when it's patio season and the Summer Shandies are on tap…read more Smokin'Hubster and I popped in for lunch and had a fabulous time. We rarely sit outside but this patio beckoned and we were helpless to resist. There's even outdoor seating available if you arrive before the restaurant is open! Silas brought us menus and took drink orders right away. We enjoyed the season's first shandies while exploring the menu. His attention was perfect and we shared some laughs each time he returned to our table. Neither one of us wanted to share (I guess) so we each ordered our own appetizers. I can never get enough smoked whitefish spread... until it's ALL MINE! I enjoyed every bite and would do it again. Patrick ordered the walleye strips and he did offer me a bite (generous devil that he is). They were perfectly crisp without being heavy or greasy. If I had known that... nah, I'd still get the whitefish. We'll be back to visit The Portside and try more menu items. Who knows, maybe we'll split something next time?

The food is amazing, but pricey…read more This was a random dinner choice as we were struggling to decide food, and they won on account of meatballs. And it was worth it. Located inside the Roam Inn, we were treated to a chill covers playlist, good drinks, and good food. Our server was on it - she was juggling several tables but she made it look effortless. The meatball is not spicy - just a perfect blend and flavor. The pierogis were also so good. I opted for the burger and truffle fries - the burger was perfect, but SO MANY FRIES. She opted for the white fish, which she enjoyed (I didn't even get a bite!) All in all - it's a great stop if you're wanting to be in a nice dining environment for your evening.

There were no seats at the highly touted back room, with a view, so we decided to sit at the bar...excellent decision. BTW, the view at the back area is not worth getting stressed about. However, it is a great area. Our bartender was Marissa; she was great. When in Rome...we both decided to get the whitefish. Mine was just the regular seasoning and my wife got the scampi version. Both were very good. We both had one of the Vierling's brews (cant remember which one) and we both enjoyed it. Vierling also has a blueberry brew and blueberries are actually dropped into it before served. We may go back today just to try it. It was a great experience and struck up a conservation with a young local. He wrote down several recommendations for us, including Black Rock Brewery and Portside, which deserve a review. I highly recommend The Vierling and discovered they take reservations. We enjoyed sitting at the bar. Thanks Marissa!

At dinner time, get here early. You definitely want a table in the back to look out over the lake…read more It's a really pretty view. Unfortunately tonight I didn't get here early enough so I sat out by the bar, which is absolutely fine. I started with a French onion soup, which I normally do when I'm here, tonight it was a little less oniony than it usually is, but that just could simply be a function of whoever was ladling it up. It's still absolutely delicious. For dinner, I had the chicken piccata with a baked potato and steamed green beans. The steamed green beans are a staple while there are a variety of other sides, such as onion rings or Alfredo, etc. I was a little disappointed in the piccata this time. It was less lemony and more oily than I remember. The lemon wedge helped, but I don't think that piccata would have to need additional lemon to the sauce. The green beans also a little heavy on the butter as was the baked potato. I don't want to say that the meal wasn't flavorful, because it was and my server while really busy was an absolute gem, only that it was a little heavy with the melted butter. After many excellent experiences here, this won't turn me off to coming back again and trying something else. Especially if I can get a table in the back!
