This is probably one of the best restaurants in the area. We eat here often and always enjoy our meals. Tonight we had mussels. Escargot, Caesar salad and a wedge salad. Everything was really tasty. Also the Grand Marnier soufflé is a MUST. The service is always good. Recommend any of the fish dishes, you really can't go wrong. It gets busy in the high season so prepare for a wait. read more

This felt like a very old-school up north restaurant with the small dining room and the cottage cheese as a side. The food was outstanding- I found it hard to pick my meal to begin with, but ended up loving my perch, and everyone else had great things to say about their food as well. The service was also a little old-school, and was unfortunately a little stilted, but nice. We also felt a little rushed near the end when the party who was clearly there to take our table arrived and was waiting practically on top of us due to the small nature of the dining room. However, even with those odd notes, the food was incredible and we would absolutely return. read more

Our new favorite restaurant! The escargot in garlic butter was just the start of a great meal. I had the special, whitefish with lobster sauce and my husband had the veal with morel mushroom sauce, both were phenomenal. Get there early as they don't take reservations and there was s wait when we left at 6:30p. read more

First of all we have been frequenting this restaurant for 20 pus years. First bad experience. Salads came before we ordered our food. Waiter took salads back and we had washed he left them. Hoping things would get better the waiter delivered the check after we waited 1/2 hr with no water (not exaggerating) and with dirty plates in front of us wanting to order dessert. The food was good. Very disappointing experience. read more

Dined at Terry's Saturday night. It was a great experience. Both the food and service were excellent. The veal with morels was over the top. Chris was our server and did a great job. I only wish that they took reservations. read more

My fiancé and I were in charlevoix for the weekend for the first time. We asked many people where they thought the best dinner spot was and the consensus was terrys place. Boy were they right. Every aspect of our night was perfect. From service, to food, to drinks, I was blown away. Christine was our waitress and she was absolutely incredible - super friendly and made some of the best dirty martinis we'd ever had. I ordered the special, the blackened white fish, and my fiancé got the veal morel. Both of these dishes were beyond incredible. The fish EXPLODED with flavor and the beurre blanc sauce served with it was the perfect match. Easily the best whitefish I've ever had. The veal morel with angel hair was phenomenal. All the flavors and played together so perfectly. The morel mushrooms were an awesome touch. I would eat these meals every week if I could. Just perfect. What an awesome spot, I can't wait to visit again. read more

Always a great, consistent, filling, and skillfully made meal. Staff is super attentive and always makes me look forward to my return! read more

Terry's Place absolutely blew me away and is hands down one of the best restaurants I have been too! This quaint restaurant is conveniently located in downtown Charlevoix and has the atmosphere of a small family owned restaurant. The staff was super friendly and we were able to quickly sit down without a reservation on a Saturday night (we did go in October which I believe is the off season for this area). The portions are VERY generous given the price and quality. The flavor was out of this world - I had some of the best fish and the most amazing key lime pie in my life. This is an absolute must if you are in the area! read more

We've been coming to Terry's for well over 20 years now. A Charlevoix staple for us. It's one of those places that I know we will have a good meal and see a few familiar faces. Food is always delicious. Husband always orders the white fish grenebois with hash browns and green beans. I usually order the chicken schnitzel or NY Strip, both excellent. It's one of those comfort places you can always go back to and it will still look and feel exactly the same. read more

Can't say enough great things!! We had excellent service- friendly, informative and quick. Very nice selection on wines and they have a full bar but we stayed with a bottle of wine. As we were visitors I was curious what the price of a bottle was and it's so reasonable! But of course the food is the main star!!! We started with French onion soup. We've spent months in France, had a French friends mom teach us how grandma made onion soup and always try it at other restaurants ending up disappointed. Not the case here. It's as if we were in a French bistro having onion soup. It may sound over exaggerated but really it's not. I was so happy, so excited that I could have ordered more bowls and made it my meal! But we didn't stop there. Our fish came with a nice salad and the house made ranch is really nice. Then our meals, I had the white fish filet with pistachio and lemon butter sauce. To. Die. For!!! My husband had the walleye and he was brought back to his younger days of fishing in Canada and catching Walleye. We both absolutely loved our meals. The fish is fresh and nothing takes away from them. I wish we lived around here to continue to go back, maybe one last time before we head home. read more

I've been a satisfied customer here for years. Tonight, they had a feature menu for Mother's Day and I was blown away! Chef Paul always does a nice job but the inclusion of cream of asparagus soup a braised lamb shank made the dinner extra special. This is the best Charlevoix has to offer and it was outstanding! read more

Great food and great service in a small, friendly atmosphere. We come here every time we come to Charlevoix.

Great dining experience. We've been going the for almost 20 years. Still going strong - including the change in ownership.

I've had many delicious meals in Northern Michigan and Terry's is no exception. In fact, my brother likes Terry's so much that he wanted to eat here 2 out of his 4 night vacation. We were lucky enough to join him one night. Unfortunately, you can't make a reservation, but somehow we scored a table for 8 with no wait. When they saw that 3 of our 8 were small children they asked us to give them a minute and found a lovely table in the back for us. There's no kids menu here, but they will make buttered noddles which suited our hungry little ones. In fact, my son ate the entire plate of pasta before declaring he didn't actually like it and would need something else to fill him up (as in dessert...nice try). I went with the whitefish, green beans and sweet potato and couldn't have been happier. The whitefish was cooked to perfection and I'd likely order the same exact thing next time. I found the service in Northern Michigan to be much slower than what I"m used to in Chicago and while there was a little wait for our food, they were faster than most of the other restaurants we dined at. Overall, absolutely delicious and I'll be making a stop there for future trips. read more

Incredible food! Loved the seafood options. Helpful staff! Great find in Charlevoix!!

I'm afraid to write a review because it's a great place! And was open on a Monday night!! Consistently good food, fantastic and attentive wait staff, just wish the ice cream was Hagen Daaz for the gold brick sundae. If that's my only complaint, then you know it's a great place! One day I'll try something other than the whitefish almondine....then again it's so good, why get anything else? read more

I could go in about Terrys forever. The steaks, service, ambiance, wine selection, cocktails, desserts, all excellent. Chicken schnitzel, any of the pasta dishes, Long Island duck, garlic stuffed filet, salad, stewed tomato's, and of the fish dishes. The best part is (as a local) Terrys runs specials in the colder months. Dinner for two with a bottle of wine and soufflés. OH! The soufflés. They are Out Of This World! read more

Delicious food; wonderful attentive service & intimate romantic ambiance. For a special Dinner or for an intimate setting with delicious variety of hors'duerves, salads, soups, entrees, especially their fish options, and, of course - Dessert!!! read more

Small enough you could miss it, but definitely a dinner we'll remember. The food was fantastic for everyone! One of us is celiac and all gluten free options were explained. Two others are from the area and hadn't heard of Terry's so they were skeptics, but left wanting to go back. We got there at opening since no reservations or call ahead seating and we were able to get in. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner here. I had the Whitefish Grenoboix (beurre blanc sauce with capers). The green beans were amazing..tiniest haricot vert I've ever had and so tender. Loved the stewed tomatoes, too, and my salad was super fresh. The creme brûlée had raspberries baked in and was topped with blackberries. Service was fabulous!! Thanks fellow Yelp reviewers for steering us this way as it was well worth the visit! read more

Food was excellent and service was great! My wife had the chicken schnitzel and I had the whitefish special.

The best white fish dinners!!! Love this place!!l we drove an hour from Traverse City to meet our friends there over the holidays. Worth it!

Terry is a local favorite right in the downtown of Charlevoix. They are known for there delicious whitefish entrees. The Almondine version is hands down the best. They use an also light lemony sauce to go over the top . Most entrees come along with a dinner salad . They have a decent amount of dressings to choose from . The shrimp provencale is our favorite pasta and it comes loaded with shrimp. We will always continue to make terry's a part of our up north traditions ! read more

Come early, this place is busy! We had the nicest waiter, Benjamin. Very helpful, honest, kind, enthusiastic. Attentive and efficient despite a crowded evening, knowledgeable about the menu. The escargot and mushroom ravioli were fabulous. The whitefish and walleye were buttery melt in your mouth. We had a good bottle of white wine for not a fortune. We had a lovely night after a long day of hiking. read more

Delicious, high quality food with outstanding and kind service. My husband and I had a great experience here tonight. From the wine, to the apps, to dinner, to even the bread rolls, everything was exquisitely done and delicious. Great service from our server Jill as well, she was so nice and really informative on everything. My favorite thing we ate was the Wild Mushroom Ravioli appetizer - WOW, truly one of the best things I've ever had in my life. We also had escargot which was perfect. I had the stewed tomatoes side with my whitefish dinner and it was so simple yet absolutely amazing. I would definitely return here when we come back to Charlevoix! read more

Service and food were both so great! Our server suggested some things we weren't looking at and so glad we tried them.

Terry's never disappoints. The meals are delicious; the service is very good. My wife and I usually get the perch Robinson and is so flavorful . Great setting. read more

The restaurant opened in 1983. The menu was then set in immutable type, except for the price. It's all still here - side salad, baked potato, key lime pie. Broiled whitefish with Grenobois (butter, capers sauce) came with green beans that were overcooked and a baked potato. The chicken schnitzel came with the same butter and caper sauce, green beans and oily hash browns. At least the wine was good, in particular the Morgan Pinot Noir from Santa Lucia. read more

We made a trip over to Terry's to celebrate my significant other's birthday and enjoyed our meal. This is definitely a "wine & dine experience" type of restaurant from the food to the prices, so plan on spending some time here. You'll also want to get here early as they are a first come first serve restaurant that does not take reservations. The menu focuses on fish with three different fish options (whitefish, perch, walleye) and four different sauce/dressing options for each. They also have at least one chicken, shrimp, and steak option to satisfy the meat lovers palette. We tried the escargot and crab cakes for appetizers and both were great. It's rare to find escargot on a menu so that was definitely a special treat. We also loved their house made balsamic salad dressing for our side salads. For our entrees, I tried the whitefish Grenobois and thought the lemon caper sauce was pretty good. I would have loved just a little more of it. My significant other got the whitefish almondine and he thought the almonds were great but his sauce was a little plain. For dessert, he tried the chocolate mousse and I ordered the raspberry creme brûlée. Both were plated beautifully and delicious. Our service was excellent and the food was good. There is a reason this spot has been in business so long! All-in-all, we enjoyed our experience. read more

My wife and I had a great dinner at Terry's last night. We started the meal with the mushroom ravioli. The flavor was superb. Next, we shared a caesar salad with anchovies and then both ordered perch. While seafood, especially fish (perch, whitefish and walleye) seem to be their forte, the menu has a variety of dishes, including steak, pasta dishes and other specials. One of the highlights is Terry's wine list - carefully chosen and offered at very reasonable prices. Deserts were good as was the service. This was our third time dining at Terry's, each experience was enjoyable. read more

Always the best food and service. It's our go-to for any special occasion or any random night.

Love Terry's Place. Great fish. No reservations but small parties can get in easy. Love the sweet potato.

Another great place to eat whitefish. I highly suggest this restaurant. Great service too.
