Only can speak for the breakfast here but it is AMAZING. Â I honestly don't know how another reviewer had such a bad experience. Â My family is from southern CA and to find a breakfast with a spicy Mexican flair in this area was such a pleasant surprise that we've been back several times and never were disappointed. Â Get one of the Mexican breakfasts, order the salsa on the side (it is HOTT! But delicious) and enjoy. Mmmm. Â Last time we were there we sat on the patio next to Mario Batali, so you know... 'nuff said.
Review Source:Went for breakfast and was shocked when the bill came. Way too expensive, 2 adults and 2 kids and the bill was over $50. Everything was extra. Waitress brought the kids more juice and charged for each glass. Did not tell us they did not get refills. The food was good but nothing to write home about, except the pancakes. They were great! I cannot afford to have breakfast here again.
Review Source:The North End is one of favorite places to eat in Leelanau County. Â I have become a regular and a big fan-- Â The food is always tasty, fresh, and healthy.
Breakfasts? Â They have a great mix of creative breakfasts, Huevos North, Hash Bash, Omelettes, Cinnamon French Toast, and the Coffee Club (2 eggs and toast). My fav. Where else can you get eggs and toast for $3.50! Â Coffee is good and strong too; house brew.
Lunch? Â I am a creature of habit and always order the Cherry Gobbler with home-roasted turkey ($7) - moist and yummy! Â (You can order just a half too, or with a cup of soup.) When I am feeling vegetarian, there are lots of choices...and their soups are great too. Â I hope to get back there today for the Vegetable Cheese Chowder. Â They call them, 'Yesterday's Soup', cause the flavor is even better the next day. True. Â They always have a nice tomato bisque, but sometimes French Onion, or a bean or a mushroom seafood, or..... endless creativity on soups.
Burgers? Â Yep. Â They have a bunch of creative burgers to choose from. Â I order the Jerry Garcia Burger (JGB) with swiss and mushrooms on a homemade roll. Â With chips, it's only $7. Â (They don't do fries - which is better for you anyway, right?) Â They also do pizzas - which are nice and light, not greasy. Â Big salads too.Paul takes his wood-fired grill to the Marina for concerts in the park on Friday nights. Â You DO know about the jazz concerts in the summer, right?
There are dinner specials on weekend nights beyond special...call for more info. Â [I don't work here honest, just a regular fan].
No pie. Â : ( Â Â
But their homemade macadamia cherry or choco-chip cookies are the size of dessert plates. Â
The terrace is nice and shady in the summer time, and on cooler days, there's a fireplace going to glow for you. Â Free WIFI and a couple of TV's if you want to check the weather, or watch a game once in a while. Â The wait staff is attentive with the coffee pot, and knows the menu inside and out. Â They are friendly and make you feel like a local. Â Paul and Christie, the owners, are rightfully proud of their success in creating a local place with a lot of personality. Â
What I would add? Â More organics, and pie!
tip? Â Their hours shift around a bit with the seasons, so if in doubt, call first.
This is very relaxed, casual northern location a short walk from the beautiful Northport Bay beach, park and Marina. Â It is very ckean abd cute and has approx. 8 outdoor tables in addition to the indoor seating. Â Friendly, caring owners on site and in the kitchen. Â
Wonderful pizza with a wide variety of toppings, excellent crust and non-greasy. Â Good homemade soups and sandwiches.
If you like non-greasy pizza not drenched in salt, and your veggies still a little crunchy with a home made crust, order their pizza. We got it, and was pleasantly surprised. We also got their ceaser salad (homemade dressing and croutons). It had a lot of flavor.....very good. Â The server was one of the owners so she treated us well. I would recommend and re-visit.
Review Source:This place is a hidden gem! We dined here just 6 weeks after it opened and everything was fantastic from Yesterday's Soup, to my salad and my friends sandwich on their homemade bread. I wish there was a place like this in Detroit. Â The staff was great, the owners only cared about their friends that were there but the staff made up for them!
Review Source:Possibly the worst food experience of my life, and not in a grandiose way. The servers were all high school, and could either care less, like our "waitress" (and I use that term loosely, since she did nothing but deliver terrible food and disappear.
The food wax AWFUL. I ordered what was supposed to be two eggs over easy with homemade corned beef hash and toast. What came out was two nearly raw eggs (you know what I mean, when they actually are so raw they have that clear leaky goo and you're scared to eat them?) lunch meat style corned burnt to a crisp and mealy, DRY DRY potatoes. How do you mess up potatoes? And no toast or sides of any kInd, btw. And about a teaspoon of food, total. Listen, I'm not a heavy eater, but the portion size was actually comical.
My partner ordered what was supposed to be huevos rancheros, and I don't even know what came out. I've had huevos rancheos all over the U.S. since it's one of my favorite dishes, and this was awful. 2 eggs, a bad corn tortilla, and a teaspoon of refried black beans does not huevos rancheros make. I did see the cook while waiting for 10 minutes for the only bathroom stall, and he wasn't a teenager, so that excuse doesn't work there.
Also it was about 11:30 and we went there for lunch but got to have our second breakfast of the day since they weren't serving lunch yet (???) and then to had to hunt down another server to find our disappearing severs to pay for the miserable experience. And it wasn't cheap!
This was the only option open that day in Northport. Next time I'll stick to coffee and cigarettes (and I don't smoke!)
