The best part of our visit was the young man who was our server, this gentleman could hustle! He was fast, efficient and so great! He kept our drinks filled, other patrons checked on and the neighboring tables cleared and wiped immediately. This young man is a credit to his family and his excellent work ethic. I did not get his name but I will go back in the future and ask to be sit in his assigned area. My husband and I were so impressed we left him a nice tip. Thank you so much for the good food, wonderful service and great service.

Service was also great and we loved the local UP pictures on the wall! Pricing was also very reasonable! High Marks for everyone in making this establishment a big standout! Thanks for the experience! We will definitely be back!

If you're looking for a no frills, hot, home cooked meal, this is the place. I ordered the corned beef hash with a side of hash browns and it was all seasoned perfectly (just needed hot sauce) and my husband got the Western omelette which was huge! I had a bite and the veggies in it were nice and fresh. We both got coffees as well. We were in and out quickly (there was no line) and the service was great! Masks required until you sit at your table as well which is always nice to see. Our bill was $25- great deal! W

If you have not had UP North Cafe's breakfast sausage links, you're missing out. I travel all over the world and haven't had better. The locals are extremely friendly, I envited myself into a group of locals who meet there to share coffee and chat. They welcomed me just like they knew me my whole life. The owner of the restaurant remembers my name and acknowledges when I come in. Again, I'm only in town a few weeks a year. Excellent Friday fish fry as well. Best in town I'd say. If you haven't been there or it's been a few years, the place has had some remodeling and is nice and welcoming. I'd give it 6 out of 5 stars if I could. Try the breakfast sausage links, you'll be glad you did.

Our servers were attentive and helpful, however, we had to wait for almost an hour for the food to arrive given their adequately staff. Hubby ordered the Den burger with burger and I had the shrimp ragotoni. I enjoyed the homemade pasta but the entree was a bit heavy with the cream sauce but it does have great flavors. Love they have KBC beers on tap and the blueberry ale was very refreshing. Overall, this is a solid choice in downtown Houghton with lakeside view and good menu options. Do keep in mind that prices are a bit high given it's in the UP. Also, you pay extra for protein in pasta entrees as well as bread in appetizers that's usually included.

The server told us the specials for the day, and I remember there being a LOT - almost as much as what was on the regular menu! We almost got the chicken wings special, but we ordered the burrata caprese appetizer and added prosciutto for $4. It was good! For entrees, I ordered the duck breast, which seems to be a staple item from here. I ordered it medium rare and it was definitely medium at best, but still tender. It is not a huge portion, and I would've like the skin crispier, but the meat itself had great flavor. It sits on a bed of parsnip puree with a blood orange reduction (a little too sweet and too much of it on the plate for me) and sauteed spinach. It left me just satisfied enough, but still a bit hungry. My fiancé got the flank steak, which was probably around 8 oz but the menu doesn't list it, with french fries and some sauteed vegetables. He said he was actually pleased with the type, portion, and cook on the vegetables. The french fries are that "old-fashioned" style, which I really like! And the chimichurri sauce was fresh and flavorful. The service was mid - sometimes it was fairly quick and attentive, other times we felt like we were waiting a long time to be tended to. For a more local, seasonal, "farm-to-table"-esque meal, this is probably the closest you will get in Houghton. The front desk at our hotel said she heard this restaurant was pricey/expensive, but I thought it was pretty fair!
