Tied for best restaurant in Traverse City area! It's this and Poppycock. Tomato bisque was so full of flavor. It was to die for. Tandoori chicken thighs were also terrific!! read more

Food and service is superior with a great upscale sports bar ambiance! Best burgers, especially the mushroom and Swiss

So disappointed! We've been here a couple of times before but my family went there tonight for my birthday and I was so upset with the food and prices. We were looking at the menu online before we went in. When we got there we were seated in the dining room but when I went to order off the small plates menu from the website, was told that was bar only. It doesn't mention that on the menu and we weren't offered to move. Then, the kids menu wasn't brought to us for our girls so we looked that up. We let our girls order the steak as it was listed for $12. When our bill came it was $18! I asked the waitress and her only response was "yeah that's old and with inflation...". The steaks weren't even great and my one daughter didn't even eat half of hers. I am so upset that this is the place I picked for my birthday dinner and we all left so disappointed and upset! read more

I was very pleased with this experience! The interior is classy and pleasant. I found every course to be fantastic! I ordered steak and was disappointed that they didn't have A1. Then I took the first bite! Pure heaven! Service was polite with only a few snafus If I lived nearby this would be my regular destination! read more

Everything was good here! The sauce on the veal meatloaf is incredible and the onion rings were delicious! Definitely a bit pricey for pretty standard food but worth a try! We sat in the bar area and the server was very attentive! Lots of different seating options here. If I went back I would love to try different menu items. read more

It's a really nice place overlooking one of the Grand Traverse golf courses. If I could give them a 3.5 stars that's what I'd do but since it doesn't work that way I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt! Looks like a nice bar area with plenty of games on the televisions for patrons to watch. The food was good. I especially dug the tomato bisque soup - probably the best I've ever had, I just wish it had been served hot vs lukewarm. The lettuce wraps were solid - a little sweeter than I usually like but still really good with lots of tender chicken and perfectly sized Romain leaves. The meat loaf was really good - the beer battered onion rings they put on top were fire! The meat and gravy with mashed potato's were good although I prefer my meatloaf a little less well-done. The server was young and I'm sure still figuring things out. She didn't know how stuff was prepared and I had to ask her to refill my water. I was disappointed that my entree was brought out just about two minutes after I got my lettuce wraps and soup. Timing or communication with the kitchen still needs a little work. The key lime cheesecake was very good! I hope it's low calorie! Ha! read more

Excellent spot for lunch, nice views on the golf course and a great 2 for $15 lunch deal. We enjoyed the club and French onion soup and they even made a custom plain pasta and chicken for my picky eater daughter. Prompt service, not too busy, and friendly staff read more

Y U M. Fantastic meal, really neat menu - unique offerings that you don't see everyday and high quality food. Our server was so sweet, I wish I could remember her name but she was the epitome of hospitality! We split the Bacon Wrapped Shrimp and Risotto Bites. MMM. Great sauces that paired with each. I absolutely loved my Short Rib Stroganoff - delicious red wine cream sauce, mushrooms, and plenty of Short Rib chunks. It was hard to decide what to order with all of the interesting offerings. Will be back! read more

The atmosphere here is upscale, but without pretensions. It's got a positive vibe to it and makes you feel welcome. I ordered the Smoked Gouda Chicken Pasta ($26). This is pan seared chicken, bacon, asparagus, portobello mushrooms, and a smoked Gouda cream. I didn't like the mushrooms, however once I moved the mushroom strips aside the meal was splendid. I highly enjoyed it. I didn't at first think the portion size was very big, but I was satisfied afterwards. The person I was with got the same thing and highly enjoyed the meal including the mushrooms. The service was very friendly and helpful. Didn't understand the wine menu, but went to ask in a cheerful manner. Overall a 4 and a half star review. I have no real complaints or issues so I'll round up to a full 5 stars. Would I return? If I was in the area, I would absolutely come back. read more

Driving home from traverse city this was one of the better rated restaurants on our way. But I gotta say, skip it and go elsewhere. Olive Garden would of been better or any other chain restaurant. We were a larger group and got seated right away...place was pretty empty. Food was not good at all!!!! For the prices they got, absolutely not! I got the cod, it was soggy, and way over cooked. Coleslaw was old, as the cabbage has already changed its original color. The fish itself was chewy and very tough. The fries that came with it were okay...but the menu said they were supposed to be truffle fries...nope they were just regular fries no truffle flavored to be detected whatsoever. The chicken pasta was okay but very very heavy sauce, and add in the bacon it was just too heavy. Calamari were okay as well and so was the French onion soup. Probably the only things that id recommend if you decide to go here. The crispy chicken sandwich was crazy!!! Sauces dripping all over the plate the buns were literally breaking apart because they got so soggy from the sauces. The bbq and honey combo were wayyyy too much, too sweet, too much sauce and overall just didn't work together at all. Maybe get the sauces in the side but wow way over dressed with sauces. The ribs were possibly the driest ribs to exist! I'm sorry just no! Don't go here, find something better. I'll never return that's for sure. read more

We had about a 15 minute wait for a table on a Monday night. We had a 14 oz. Rib eye ordered medium rare. Was delivered medium rare! Also ordered a French dip, very good. Also, a chicken Cobb salad. The room was quite loud and made conversation a little difficult. But, since some restaurants are closed on Mondays I understand why they were busy. We arrived at 7:00 pm and left around 8:10 pm. read more

The food, service, and environment have been great all three times we have been there.

The food was good but the bread was so butter soaked that it was soggy on my 1/2 sandwich. I asked if I could have a different bottom of bread and they said it would be $3 more. I declined and left my soggy bread there. It really was gross. service was great until then. ambiance was fine. Left disappointed and surprised at the charge for a 1/4 piece of bread. read more

Food: delicious! Groups: yes. Tv/football/fun atmosphere: yes. Service: pretty good. We had a very large group and a reservation. It took a long while to place our orders. However, they were pretty good about getting it to us in a timely manner and it was hot. My salmon was excellent! Appetizers were very good. Highly recommend if you want very good food. If you have a large group....expect to be there for about 2 hours from sit down to finish. read more

We went here for Traverse City Restaurant Week and saw McGee's 72 menu that captured us instantly! By far my favorite dish was the Ahi Tuna. The soup was OK. I'm not a dessert person but did enjoy both on the menu. Probably wouldn't get it again. read more

Our new go to in Traverse City. Great bar atmosphere and awesome Happy Hour. The service both in the restaurant and the bar area has always been spot on. Have had many items in the menu but have to say the burger is one of the best I have ever had. read more

McGee's has good food. I don't know that it's as bad as some of the reviews here state, as everybody in our party enjoyed what they had. The two biggest drawbacks are the customer service when you first walk in, and the prices. Nothing worse than a host making you feel unwelcome, but this one was unhelpful and unfriendly. Maybe she was having a bad day, and the other people we interacted with made up for it, but first impressions mean a lot. The food is also expensive. 45 dollars for a steak that was fine but nothing special is kind of asking a lot. That steak was probably 25 dollars anywhere else. Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend it for someone looking for a bit more upscale experience. read more

Food and service fine, but sound level/acoustics made for unpleasant experience. Based on 2 visits. Would not go back.

I really didn't want to post this but am still thinking about how bad this meal was 24-hours later. My wife and I visited for my 70th birthday. I called the restaurant and was told they didn't take reservations but have seating for 300 with a wait staff ready to serve. We asked for a booth and the front staff said they could put us in a bar booth as the three open booths I could see were "reserved". I said I called and was refused a reservation! We were then seated near a window overlooking the golf course so great! We selected the lettuce wraps which actually were very good and plentiful. I was disappointed there was no steak on the menu other than a tenderloin for $47.00 so asked the waiter about the $37 "short ribs". He assured me they were good and he wouldn't "steer me wrong". I was expecting nice sizzling beef short ribs w a side of carrots and mashed potatoes. What I received was a bowl with mashed potatoes in the center topped by what was essentially a couple of pot roast chunks and absolutely the whole thing smothered with some kind of brown sauce which overwhelmed the meat and potatoes. There were haystack onions on top and carrots but just little chunks in the sauce. No bread, no side salad. The entire bowl looked like something that happens after a bad night out with too much alcohol. Disgusting. I had to ask specifically for a refill on my tea which was obviously sitting empty placed at the edge of the table and the offer for a second refill never came. No enhanced wait staff presence just food set on the table and whoosh a quick walk away. My wife's plate consisted of two small over-encrusted pieces of walleye vs. one nice large piece of perfectly breaded delightful fish. The mass of wet spinach was inedible. The invoice arrived at $99 if paid by card with a 3% deduct for cash. We left cash including a 25% tip on the table and quickly left without further interaction with the waitstaff. Honestly a total disaster of a meal and zero value. To their credit we had very much enjoyed a lunch at this same restaurant in the fall and were really looking forward to a full dinner. Finally, there was missing an initial inquiry by the main waiter of "what brings you in today..." I guess special birthdays don't grant a gratis sliver of desert anymore? I had heard their cheesecake is awesome. But alas... read more

I hesitate to tip you all off on my local go to favorite. We go here all of the time! Food is consistently good. Staff is phenomenal and super friendly! This is like our cheers! Onion soup is to die for. Steak or Cobb salads, burger, club sandwich great as well. They used to offer a prime rib special on the weekends. I hope they bring that back! We love these guys! read more

The price is affordable. The beers were cold, affordable, and tasty. And my maple salad and side of seasonal vegetable (squash) were creative and delicious! The squash was cooked just right and the salad was fresh and inventive and tasty My husband's lettuce, chicken wrap was not as good for him. He wanted more veggies maybe ask for a side of shredded carrots, shredded cabbage.? his chicken was swimming in sweet peanut butter and liquid, which was tasty but too much sugar read more

Great food, great service and great setting. Had the bruschetta and mushroom Swiss burger. Both were really good.

Kudos to the chef! The food was uniquely prepared. Pleasing to the eye and tasty. Our server, Alli was professional and pleasant. The "Tator tots" were fried to perfection. The pear salad delicious. (We split everything so the salad was twice as large as it looks.). We finished with a blue cheese burger, on a toasted roll. read more

Food was good, service was great, and reasonably priced. Got in quickly and was seated right away.

I was really looking forward to white fish for dinner. What I got had no resemblance whatsoever to my expectations. A weird overly breaded over done piece of fish. The ambiance was nice on the golf course and service was prompt and friendly. But, very disappointed in the food. read more

We were seated immediately upon checking in, had to move tables three times. 1. Put us in a dark dreary room with one other table occupied when there was seating in the main dining room. 2. Seated in main dining room at a table in the entrance of the room, awkward place to sit 3. Finally seated in a booth at a window, much better and a view. I wish the fireplace would have been on. Service was ok, food was ok, atmosphere was ok. One of the hostesses came to fill up our water glasses, put water in the sprite glass instead but did replace the sprite, then spilled water on the table and just took her hand and wiped it off onto the floor, I thought that was odd, lol. Would I recommend? Probably not. Would I say not to go there? Probably not. Every restaurant deserves at least one chance. The dress is casual. The menu is very limited which I didn't mind at all, did offer a good variety of food. Food serving sizes were decent. I had the special which was prime rib and it came with mashed potatoes, they were ok. read more

Went there for the first time with kind of a large group. Called ahead but unfortunately they don't take reservations, even for a party of 14, so we had to wait a bit, which is to be expected. If you show up between 6 & 7, be prepared to wait, even with a smaller party. They have a decent bar to hang out in and wait. Good views of the golf course too. Once seated, service was prompt. Waitress took drink orders right away. Food came out pretty quick. I had a burger that was pretty good, fries were good too. A few people had salads and they said they were pretty good too. Overall everyone seemed happy with the food, but no one said anything was to die for or anything like that. Tried their old fashioned, was good but a little different. Would definitely go to again though. read more

Great experience and service. Sat our party of 6 rather late in the night before closing, got us our food promptly and didn't make us feel bad for being the last table there. All of our food was great and I would recommend this to people staying at the grand traverse resort. Don't eat at the resort it's bad. read more

BADASSSSS...this was the most random find in the world. Asked a hotel employee for a restaurant recommendation and he just told us to get on a shuttle and they would take us to a great spot. Food was amazing, and the service was incredible. To show up with 10 hockey families and have a table available last minute was incredible. Our family had the wings, short ribs, french onion soup, and steak sandwich. The quality of the food was incredible. They need to raise their prices, 4 people, appetizers, and drinks for $150 is wild nowadays. If the food was terrible i'd still give it five stars based on the service. They did get mad at one of the drunk hockey moms trying to pilfer a wine glass....100% warranted. Hell of a job! read more
