Glacia Tavern — Restaurant in Allouez Township

Changed on 01/01/22 Used to be my favorite place. Now I will NEVER go back. Was treated absolutely poorly by the owner after my children had to listen to his staff swear multiple times from their open wait station and kitchen. I asked not to be seated in the back by the kitchen, as I am aware of restaurant staff conversation (having been one for 10+ years myself) but our server refused to give us a different table. We complained and were treated like trash. When we asked to speak to the owner, he came out and made excuses for his staff and never offered an apology. His attitude was that of someone who lets their staff run them over. This place is only good for the people who live right next to it. The only thing that really kept me coming back was the food- and tbh it’s gone downhill. If you’re smart- you’ll keep driving. **

Excellent food with a cozy atmosphere. My husband and I have been multiple times, and I always leave happy. The staff was pleasant with us and they have a desirable beer selection. I have to get the tavern nachos every-time- the Gorgonzola cheese is heavenly with the brisket and homemade chips. Can’t wait...

Don't let the pool table in the middle of the bar floor fool you, you are in for some great food. Since my wife has recently become gluten intolerant we never know what she will be able to order so we were pleasantly surprised with the many options from dishes that featured ancient grains, like the Brussel Sprout bowl that she had, to gf pasta to gf bun for their burgers. And speaking of burgers that is what I went with, a blue cheese burger with Buffalo sauce. What stood out about the burger is that every thing stood out, nothing overwhelmed the other flavors. The meat, which seemed fresh and possible local, wasn't overwhelmed by the sauce which wasn't overwhelmed by the blue cheese. Perfect! The only disappointment was the French fries. I love fresh cut fries and these were not.

My wife's bowl was different, and not different in a bad way. The mix of sliced and flash fried sprouts, bacon and shaved paramasan top a generous serving of ancient grains. It, too, was...

What a GEM hidden in this tiny little town. We were on vacation and just so happened to be staying across the street from Glacia (Lucky us!!) Our first night there we were asked if we had reservations, which we did not. They were able to seat us anyways and WHAT A TREAT!! The food was AH-MAZ-ING!! We promptly made reservations for the next night. It's been my experience finding good food in Northern Michigan, challenging to say the least, so we were beyond surprised and excited to find this place. Everything tasted fresh and it would seem whomever is in the kitchen loves what they do. I would recommend reservations as they do get quite busy. I feel like the price is totally fair, since food is expensive anyways AND it's amazing. If you're in the area I HIGHLY recommend giving this place a try. Our experience was exceptional. I look forward to going...
