Nothing fancy but I like it when I travel up there and hang out with friends in the UP. Â I just don't care for the snowmobilers when they come in with the smell of gas all over their clothes; it happens quite frequently and will make eating difficult. Â However, the overall experience is fine.
Review Source:TC's is a bit more of a bar than a restaurant but is very family friendly nevertheless. Â Food is pretty much what you'd expect- bar food. Â They added a page of European foods (German etc) to the menu but its not very veg friendly. Â The pasty is a bit too dry, even for a pasty. Â They also offer a 5 lb. ox burger for any one who wants to have an upset stomach in the middle of nowhere U.P.
Service is kinda slow but not too bad. Â Price is fine. Â I'd knock 'em half a point for blocking a perfectly fine entrance/ exit merely to make u walk past their horrible gift shop.
I love this place. It's right on the edge of down town Newberry, MI. They are awesome. It's a family diner-bar-restaurant-dealio. They have a cute little shop attached where you can find little knick-knack type stuff, great gifts for your mom, girlfriend, aunt, sister, dad, etc.
They have a cool atmosphere--not the fanciest place, but totally yummy food. Try the friend chicken...and then try to finish it, good luck with that. My boyfriend's family goes up to the upper peninsula annually and eat there once or twice while they are there. I would eat there everyday if it were closer to where we stay. It's a great place and, I'm not sure how they are related, but if you want to also see black bears while you are "U.P." there, they can tell you where to go. Oswald's Bear Ranch about 15-20 minutes away if I remember correctly and you can actually take pictures with the baby bears!!!
We're heading up there tomorrow and plan on going to Timber Charlie's and Oswalds!
