Well, opinions on food certainly differ, so I will drop my 2 cents and then let others chime in.

I have had good steaks at the Pilgrim River Steak House just outside of Houghton on the way to Chassell; The Library Restaurant and Brew Pub in downtown Houghton; The Michigan House in Calumet and the Eagle Harbor Inn in Eagle Harbor.

I am not a fan of fish, so I cannot refer you to a good all you can eat fish fry. Sorry!

Some other notable mentions are the ribs at the Loading Zone II in Lake Linden, the burgers and other sandwiches (as well as the view) at the Bear Belly Bar and Grill in Lac La Belle and authentic Mexican at Carmilitas in Calumet. Just about any place open for breakfast up here serves a winner too! Almost forgot. It's pretty hard for me to pass through Twin Lakes and not stop and get some bacon cheese fries at the Parkview.

Hopefully others will give their favorites.

Enjoy your time here!

Henry's in Rockland for all you can eat buffet and fish fry. Adventure or Grandma Mryt's for breakfast, the Library has a great dinner like John said.

It's not steaks or fish but gota get the traditional sub at the Ambasador in Houghton!

I need to second John's opinion on the Pilgrim River. Awsome steaks and Crab legs!!

Beer Belly Bar and Grill and Laclabelle Lodge, good food and appetizers.

Had a great dinner at Quincy's just East of Hancock on Trail# 3. One of the best French Onion soups that I can remember, and an awesome Prime Rib sandwich.

Awesome thread since im headed to Calumet in a week! Thanks all.

The Michigan House in Calumet was also a great meal. Pesto Pasta with steak was a great filler after a long day of riding!

I haven't even got there yet and you guys are making me hungry.


Thank you for all the replys.

Pizza and breakfast

Best pizza is at the Ambassador and the best breakfast is at the Suomi.

A second for Quincys, very good Pizza for Mi. When a Chicago native says good pizza it must be good

Carmilitas in Calumet does have great Mexican food - WOW

The Mariner North in Copper Harbor has stuffed garlic bread which is outstanding and probably not heart healthy.

Too bad this is not summer time . I would recommend anyone going up there then go to the Harbor Haus it's a bit pricey but well worth it . This fish just melted in your mouth and was FRESH nothing better then fresh fish . Also the view of Copper Harbor from where your dining at was priceless. I will come back the 806 miles it is from my house to go eat there again . Lake Superior has the right name to SUPERIOR to all the others hands down Happy Eating to you all and Happy 2010 to!!!!
