The serving was huge and more than she could eat, but the flavor was so good she almost ate herself sick! The French Dip was excellent! Not the traditional thinly sliced beef that dehydrates when cooked, but rather meat that was closer to pot roast was used so it was moist and tender! The Turkey Melt my daughter had was really good! She asked them to make it with Mozzarella instead of cheddar and they accommodated her request with a great sandwich. The atmosphere was homey and welcoming and the staff was perfectly attentive and incredibly nice! If you find yourself in this part of the UP, you have to visit!

The afternoon we were there, it was extraordinarily blustery outside, with dirt being whipped around town as their major through road area was under construction. We parked our vehicle and walked a block or two to Coco, where we got a hot beverage to sip on while enjoying the hot blueberry turnover that had just come out of their oven. It was sooo delicious! Flaky pastry folded over generous, intensely-flavored blueberry filling. The experience brought me right back to childhood memories of eating the frozen ones made by Pepperidge Farms that you baked in the oven at home. It was the rare occasion that my mom bought a box or two of them (there were 4 per box, and there were 5 members in my family), most likely, when they were "on sale" at a local grocer. The decor inside the place was very colorful, quirky, funny, awesome! Will make it a point to visit this place again when I'm in the area!

After waiting in line for 20 minutes, we were only then told that hot food would take nearly an hour. That's something the line should be updated on every few minutes so people can decide whether to wait or not. The staff were very kind and efficient, and the girls with intolerances were happy to see such a large variety of options. They definitely need a bigger space to handle weekend rushes, but I get it, small town charm. The food and drinks we had were pretty good and overall fine, aside from the wait and the last minute news about the hot food. Would recommend for the people with intolerances but keep in mind it might take a while!

That said, our waitress was very pleasant, and was in many ways, the perfect waitress... She didn't badger us, but she also did not ignore us ... that is a tightrope a waitress has to walk, and our waitress appeared to be a Wallenda in the waitress world. One other minor complaint: there were three of us in our party and one of us was still eating, while the other two had finished and the waitress began to clear the plates from the two who had finished. This was slightly annoying to the two who had finished eating, but honestly, the person who was still eating didn't even notice. As for the food, which many might feel is more important than nitpicking waitress performance, let me just say that all three in our party thought the food was excellent. The blueberry pancakes were really really good!! The biscuits and gravy were also outstanding (however, it perhaps later resulted in flatulence, but even if there was a causal relationship that is of course no fault of the chef, and likely unique to the person effected) Again , well done on these homemade biscuits !!

Started with shared pasta salad and cheddar spread best eaten with bread sticks. Warm rye bread was an add on. We ordered the appetizer special - cheese sticks deep fried with marinara sauce. Would pass on it next time. Four adults and two children in the party. Adults had filet mignon, baby back ribs and two had fish fry. The steak was prepared perfectly and came with a baked potato. Ribs were good but they were not typical baby back as expected and came with a potato pancake with apple sauce. Fish fry was generous and served with cole slaw and baked potato. I spilt a wedge salad and it was delicious. Romaine lettuce split and loaded with blue cheese, tomato's, bacon and a blue cheese dressing. Kids had grilled cheese sandwich with fries, and the other had pasta with red sauce. Both meals were clean plate club. Our server was excellent. The meal was timed perfectly and we were kept informed as the night went on. Would definitely return. Recommend without any reservations. Ambience is special, well worth going early to check things out.
