    I look forward to eating at Pekadills every year. The best food,great sandwiches, tasty sides, and the sweetest staff. Add on the little courtyard in the back and this place is really a fan fave. Highly recommend for anybody looking for that authentic homestyle feel sandwich

    Quaint Sandwich shop with a ton of options. I had the Sueben which was a light Rueben with coleslaw. It was absolutely delicious. All sandwiches had were good. The ice cream topped it off. No sugar added apple pie ice cream for a big win. I will visit again. While we finished they even cleared our plates. Place is very dog friendly for those who can't go anywhere without their furry friends.

    What a lovely lunch stop! The garden in back is adorable and there are several tables inside, both up front and in back of the restaurant. Service was incredibly friendly and efficient. Menu selection is huge. We tried the Sueben and the corn beef. Both were fabulous. Bread was fresh, sandwiches were stuffed and each came with a side.

    Pekadill's is such a unique restaurant that features soups, salads, sandwiches and even ice cream! This unique spot has an outdoor garden area with several tables where you can eat and enjoy the beauty of a koi pond, green grass and beautiful flowers. If you stop on a rainy day, don't worry, there is also indoor seating. Pekadill's gets very busy during the spring and summer months, but don't let that discourage you from visiting! Although they can get very busy, the service is always great and your food will still be served within a reasonable amount of time. In regards to the quality of the food, I would say the sandwiches are incredible. Pekadill's always is generous with the ingredients so you definitely get what you pay for. They go heavy on the meats which is a win in my book! I have tried the chicken and dumpling soup and it was very slimy tasting unfortunately. But other than that I have no complaints about Pekadill's. They take credit/debit cards & there is plenty of street parking. I would highly recommend Pekadill's for lunch in the garden, especially because it is family owned. A staple to Whitehall, MI!

    Yummy food and a great atmosphere! Be sure to take your food out to the patio. If it's a yucky day stop in for some of their amazing soups.

    Great food and a beautiful garden to eat it in. There's a little play area for kids too. I wish it was open for dinner.

    Our Michigan friends have brought us to explore Glen Arbor and on our way back, we desperately…read moreneeded food. We decided to try this place and were surprisingly blown away! Being a burger joint, we obviously ordered everything but the burgers lol. We had a long trip ahead and didn't wanna feel too greasy but looking over at other tables later, the burgers looked delicious. I got the peach salad that came with curried pumpkin seeds and shredded asiago and croutons. I added grilled chicken for $4. I wished there were some fresh peaches on it but the salad was tossed in a peach dressing instead. The croutons also tasted like fried pieces of sandwich bread. I will say, I was so pleasantly surprised by how delicious this salad was! Holy cow, after a few days of camping, having vegetables was one thing, having this salad changed my outlook on life. My fiancé was a little saddened by the fact that we will be no where near this place (from Connecticut) becuase he thoroughly enjoyed his brisket wrap. Maybe it's the Mid Western charm and hospitality, but our experience was so great. After getting the bill, our waiter (who had two colored socks on and my friend thought he only had one, but alas, one sock was just black while the other was a hot pink) offered us our drinks to go and brought us back a full cup of iced tea and Dr Pepper. Our table of four left with a $70 bill which was fantastic, given that the food also satiated us to the best degree. All the way from CT, I wanna say: thank you Michigan. And thank you to the Gnarly Heifer, even though we did not taste your Heif.

    Gnarly burger perfectly cooked. Gnarly sauce made the burger along with caramelized onions.read more

    The Book Nook is a fun place - very unique - they have everything from books and coffee (as the…read morename suggests) to novelty items and wines. It's part cafe, part bookstore, part wine bar, and part entertainment venue. Most important thing is the coffee is good. It seems like every other time I try to go they are closed, but other than that I recommend it. (To be fair, I usually only come through white lake area at odd times!)

Then the show goes sideways, no it sinks quickly with no hopes of recovery after trying on my side. For the record, the musicians on Friday were entertaining and filled the evening with good tunes. Store does live music Thursday night thru Sunday night. Slept on this review to try to be kind, even the song last night told me to be kind. Waited in line and watch some Barista Ninja make coffee orders and then vanished on our turn. Let's be honest to customers, if you are not the coffee maker warn them!!! Ordered and then he grabbed a bakery item from the chilled case, he was done with me. Then looked at me and said "anything else?". Yep, sure is, he just took my order and forgot, .... was just waiting on my drinks. Then had to tell him what drinks, he then read from a printed off instruction sheet like it was a calculus quiz. On 2nd drink he literally pulled an ice cold cup from the pastry case, which from my view I hoped it came from under it. NOPE. He handed me drinks and as I walked my knuckles were chilled by the cup. Hopeful, I asked husband to tell me if his was hot. NOPE, so mine was a iceberg and pretty sure he royally messed it up as it now is my worst latte in my life (100% coffee could not ever be worse). Yes, worst. I walked back, he looked at me like I was lost, told him they are cold. He stood firm on looking at me with no apologies and I said again they are cold. Still, a look of what you want me to do lady. I put my finger in my drink and said these are cold, just microwave them. They were busy and felt that was fair. Think microwave setting on my chilled cup was 15 seconds. I took them to the table and one sip and blah, chilly and worse latte ever, pretty sure it was 80% milk and a splash of flavoring. The tall male faux barista should be banned from the coffee area. *believe your customer *if you can't make something - don't *coffee cups should not be kept chilled *apologize when you get it wrong

I love that it's mostly original. They even us the old cash register. Ice cream was good and service was friendly. We didn't get a meal, but it looked great. Only thing I could knock them on was while the service was awesome, they are understaffed. There's just too many people with tourist season here. Parking was an issue for the same reasons and while I don't mind too much going to the atm, it's 2024 and cash and check only businesses can be frustrating. We'll be back for a meal, and it's worth a stop if you're close.

I would definitely recommend people to come and enjoy the place for its nostalgia andhistory granted we just popped in for the soda fountain And all this had different types of ice cream sodas I would definitely recommend this place in fact if it was a five star establishment I would give it five star just for that. We did not choose the lunch since the kitchen was closed and we came in right before closing time which they close around four, which is a good time. Since this place is a cash only establishment because they use an old-time cash register system bring cash, but that did not discourage us in the least. I would definitely come back and my family agrees with me.
