Talley's Log Cabin - Two Talley burgers with sides of fries and onion rings - Dive Bars Near Me - Lewiston, Michigan

Great bar with a delicious burger. Burgers are made fresh, no frozen patties. Love this place!!

So I wander into Talley's Log Cabin on a Sunday night--little bar, little pub, you figure, "Hey, this'll be nice. Cozy. Local charm." Yeah, no. I order a couple burgers--food shows up, it's fine. Not great, not terrible. Just... fine. Then I look at the menu and realize I'm paying steakhouse prices for "eh." And then--this is where they got me--they want five bucks for a little sad basket of fries. Five dollars! For potatoes! Like they had to fly 'em in first class from Idaho. And the best part? They tack on an extra fee for using a credit card. Nothing says "welcome to our small town" like charging you for the privilege of giving them your money. I hate that. What year is this? 1953? You know how many times I've had to dig around for cash in the last decade? Zero! It's 2025--take the card, shut up, and be happy you're still in business. So yeah, food was okay, but between the overpriced fries and the "oh, by the way" credit card tax, I felt like I got nickel-and-dimed out of my Sunday. Place looks nice from the outside, but so does a bear trap. read more

Burger not as good as the past. Seemed a little dry. Fast service though. Maybe I will try again.

Last I checked this was a bar that served bar food. Hamburgers for 5 people with fries and a beer was over $100! Charged for every little extra on the burgers. On top of that they charged a whopping 4% to use a credit or debit card. Then we are expected to tip 20%. It's like feeding a 6th person. I understand that the cost of things have gone up but for restaurants to not absorb any of the cost is forcing the public to quit eating out or stop tipping. Something has to give. Again, we are talking bar food. read more

The vibes were good, the service was good, and the burger was good, the bun was not good. Talley's fit everything great about an up north bar, with good music and lots of warm conversation. The service was attentive and quick. The fries were very good, top tier crispiness and flavor. Even the burger tasted good. The meat was juicy and had great flavor. However, the sad bun that the burger came with did not hold up to the massive weight of the meat and veggies. It became instantantly wet and made the burger un-putdown-able. My delicious burger instantly became a time race to finish the burger before it crumbled in my hands. Stress and panic set in quickly. The chili was chili. I also tried a bite of the chicken sandwich and it was pretty solid. I would probably pivot to that next time. The bun worked as intended there. read more

Best Burgers and chili around. Great atmosphere, great staff. If you are in the area. Worth a visit. Every time we are up here we go to this hidden gem. read more

The Talley burger is legendary. I've been coming here for years and that will not change. Great place to watch a game and have a cold one

In town for the snow drift 2022 and you got to stop at Tally's. They have a great burger, voted the best burger in the north. Yes this little Burger is juicy perfection, came out perfectly cooked, very juicy with some great fresh tomato and lettuce w cheese and a sesame seed bun, you add your own condiments. It really is a perfect little Burger at $6.85 on the menu and worth every bite. This place doesn't miss a beat, it was packed with a lot of people from the snow drift but they handled it no problem. Service was excellent, the place was packed, great crowd, no problem getting your drinks and the food all came out fast looking good and correct as ordered. Tally's has got this down. If you're in Lewiston don't miss it, it's a great log cabin bar, and check out that burger to see if you think it's the best in the North. read more

Classic Michigan up north dive bar. Beers are served in cans and if you ask what's on special the response you'll receive is "whatever your having is special"! I was in Lewiston for a long weekend and ended up going to Talleys twice. Their menu is very small and they are known for their burgers, so of course I got the burger. I wouldn't say it was amazing but it wasn't terrible. People go to Talleys for the atmosphere and cheap drinks. It's a fun time and worth the stop if your in the area. read more

You couldn't get more no-thrills than Talley's Log Cabin. Everything is served on little styrofoam plates. The menu only has a few things. Burgers, chicken sandwiches and some fried apps. The onion rings really aren't very good, and the fried mushrooms taste like all of the fried mushrooms I've ever tasted which basically means they taste like nothing. Hot little spheres of exploding mushroom juice. Service is friendly and attentive, and they have a huge outdoor patio if you're not interested in elbowing up at the bar inside. What everyone comes for, beyond the alcohol and comradery is the burgers. As i've driven there on my visits, I haven't had much to drink but I can only imagine living in town and getting wasted at the bar. Those burgers would be the PERFECT ending to a night of drinking at Talley's. You are provided all of the condiments in squeeze bottles and you better hurry up and get those toppings added before the burger melts into itself! It's served PIPING HOT right off the griddle, and the patty is huge and juicy. Only a few bites in and it becomes a hot mess. So so good. read more

Talley's Log Cabin - The Talley burger with cheese. So wet! - Dive Bars Near Me - Lewiston, Michigan

It's been said a good bar burger is worth two in the Bush. Errr no wait, maybe it was something to do with 6 of one and half dozen of the othe... never mind, I forgot where I was going with this. Pros: Good bar burgers. Friendly staff. Lotto/keno kiosk inside. Outside patio. People watching (locals) for daysssss. Cons: Pepsi products (blech!). Men's bathroom. Chicken nuggets are pretty gross. Tip: Ask for the bun on your Talley burger to be toasted, not steamed. That way it won't fall apart when you eat it (30 year customer, trust me). Talley's is one of my favorite places. I've met and talked to lotsa questionable people there and I wouldn't ever change a thing! read more

Burgers are amazing! Everyone is so laid back and kind there. Get the onion rings, you won't be disappointed!

Best burger in northern michigan. The go to move is the burger medium rare. Everything but the kitchen sink, bun toasted. You will not be disappointed. And get a Blue light. They hit differently there read more

If you are from Michigan and haven't seen to Tally's for a beers and burgers, you have to make this a bucket list. Go in the Wintertime, preferably a snowy weekend and experience all of the Snowmobilers that gather. Wonderful burgers and when we are in a need for a burger, we drive the 1.5 hours to Talley's to fill that craving.... Enjoy! read more

One of the top burgers in Northern Michigan. Friendly people great service. Love the owners. They do so much for the community. Stop in for a burger and a drink. Tell me Julietheartist sent you ! read more

I've been coming here for my entire life. My family has a cabin on East Twin Lake and we have been heading into town for a "Talley Burger" religiously. Their burgers are amazing! They were featured in a an article as a "best Burger in Michigan" awhile back and I gotta agree. I travel for business and I eat at some of the best places throughout Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio and this place is one of my favs. Besides obviously trying their Burger (or two) you HAVE to compliment it with the potato wedges. I'll never forget the first time I saw the kitchen either. It's more like a closet! Lol. There's just a dude in there grilling up burgers after burgers. During a busy weekend he even took the time to chat with us and tell us the story about his "record breaking Burger night" (July 4th weekend I think?) Love this place. Go here. read more

Love Talley's. Been coming to Lewiston since I got as a kid and this place has great food, awesome service and a fun atmosphere.

Classic old time up north bar/ restaurant! Went with a handmade , homemade cheeseburger- served by Sam, with a smile! Was excellent! 2 beers later- went home happy ! Fair prices also ! read more

I've been coming to this bar for 55 years. I fly from DFW to DTW at least 4x a year, rent a car, and drive to Lewiston just to have a Tally's burger. Please don't tell my mother. She thinks I'm coming here to just visit her. read more

This northern Michigan bar is a "must visit" if you are in N. Michigan. Bird and his family have done a great job for several decades (50th anniversary in 2018). This is a very relaxed place to enjoy a cold beer and a GREAT cheeseburger. The staff and even the patrons are fun and welcoming. Only a short walk from East Twin Lake in downtown Lewiston this is a genuine gem in the crown of Northern Michigan. read more

Was recommended to come here, over priced for what you get. Paper plates, plastic forks, small portions. Never coming back that for sure. read more

Best burgers in the state. Come early to get a table. Typical up north bar but everyone loves it.

Not very impressed. If i could, i would give it 0 stars. The buns were soggy, and the chicken was not fresh at all. My order was messed up many times. Also not impressed with the service. Would not recommend at all! read more
