    two glasses of water on a wooden table

    Dined here because one of the few restaurants that was open. Very mediocre service and food was just ok.

    Party of 10, stopped in for lunch, so had a large variety of food! Seated immediately, and they have a huge selection of local craft beers. Outside patio was very nice! Service was was very good! Whitefish chowder was very good, broccoli cheddar soup just ok, burgers were very good, BBQ sliders delish, Poutine very good (a little salty though), kids all enjoyed their kids meals. Overall, we would eat here again!

    Outside where the service is much better.

    I sat at the bar after taking a long ride on the trail. Nobody will even look you in the eye, nobody greets you. Nobody stated or told me that they would be with me. I sat at the bar for a substantial amount of time, so I just left. I understand hiring Staff from out of town but come on, can we at least have some local hospitality?

    Interesting beer

    I don't understand how this place only has three stars on Yelp - I'm giving it five stars! Located a short distance from downtown Munising, it doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside it's cozy, clean, and serves excellent food. We even visited twice during our time in the U.P. The onion rings were the best I've ever had - fried to perfection, not soggy, didn't fall apart. Loved both of the sandwiches that I tried - the fried whitefish sandwich, and a breaded chicken wrap (called the Ringed Neck Duck). Again, perfectly breaded, not too greasy or heavy on the breading. And I loved the coleslaw, too. The service was great, and they have a very good beer list for a little U.P. joint. Outside seating is also available.

The food was delicious, and my Pasties were incredible along with the gravy & coleslaw. Coffee was good. Definitely a must stop !!!

    We turned around to eat here after a quick time count, noting we were hours from our next stop…read more Since we had no cell service until we were inside, it was a gamble. It paid off. First, the service. It was a little slow to get rolling but the gal who helped us out was top-notch. She went above & beyond after my 82yr old father hurt his hand somewhere en route to or from the restroom. He was holding a napkin on it & was embarrassed. She discreetly brought him a bandaid, PUT IT ON & TOOK THE SOILED NAPKIN. Even now, it brings a teat to the eye. She was kind & understanding. To say it was touching would be an understatement. Each couple split a chicken pasty meal, the parents had water, while the hubs & I each added a local beer. The pasty crust was light & flaky. The filling wasn't overly seasoned but had good flavor. The slaw was sweet & solid. The star I would have docked for could be cleaner overall (those displays collect stuff) & faster in service gets a wash from the detail and time well-spent on that service. I'd much rather wait a little longer & leave feeling human. So, maybe we could all slow down a bit & pay more attention to detail.

    Located at the Roam Inn in Munising, MI, Tracey's was an avant garde dining experience - you can't…read moreget Unicorn Piss (IPA) just anywhere. Lovely dining rooms and Jamie took SUCH good care of us! We shared orders of pirogies and roasted Brussels sprouts - very interesting tastes and textures! We also shared a bone marrow butter burger with bacon. THE BEST!! I'm sorry we were keeping room for dessert, because we didn't finish the parmesan fries. Dessert was Good Ole Chocolate Cake and Bread Pudding. Oh, and I may have mentioned it was my wife's birthday, so her dessert had a candle in it and the dining room sang happy birthday to her.

For $40 a plate I expected something, anything that stood out. Sides were cold and lacked any flavor, fish was not special. The space is clean. The service was okay... after waiting a few minutes to be sat (no problem at all there) we waited another 10+ minutes for a high chair - yet I told the host we needed one upon arrival. Multiple people walking by every few minutes seeing we were standing up with our 1 year old. Greeted by our server, drinks brought to the table and still no high chair. I finally asked again politely where I could go grab it myself. The server herself was friendly. Hence she gets two stars.
