Around the Corner Food and Fun — Restaurant in Leelanau Township

We were absolutely blown away by our experience at Around the Corner! If you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with true local flair, this is the place. Don't hesitate. There is something on the menu for everyone, and every bite excites and delights the tastebuds.

I’m rarely impressed enough by a restaurant to write a review, but this one was so exceptional I couldn’t resist. My husband and I were amazed by both the creativity and the quality of the dishes. Their fry creations are a must-try(definitely get the broccoli flowers!!!) The fry batter is crispy, and light, yet not overly greasy or thick like most fried dishes are, and the seasoning is unique and unforgettable.

The sauces are clever spins on familiar favorites. I especially loved the mustard-dill tartar sauce that came with the fish fry. It sets them apart from the dozens of restaurants in the Traverse area serving standard fish and chips. The chef has spent nearly a decade perfecting her fry batter, and you can taste it in every bite. The crunch alone is unforgettable!

But that isn't all!!! The salads are fresh and lively and given the attention as show pieces, rather than as afterthoughts, as they so often are in restaurants.

Be prepared though, their portions are very large, so you may need to bring a friend to help you finish it all.

We came to Northport for a day away to celebrate our anniversary, and our lunch was so impressive that we returned for dinner the same day. They even host outdoor Saturday movie nights from June through October, which we can’t wait to experience with our son on our next visit.

The sign outside reads, “Come in, we’re awesome.” That’s actually an understatement. This family-run restaurant truly is awesome, and the family behind it is absolutely lovely. We will be back soon! Next time I will take photos of our food....I'm sorry but I couldn't stop myself to get my phone out before our...

So they are renovating their place and have set up a "food truck" so they can keep serving which is very cool. It's especially cool because they were 1 of only 2 places open in town.

The portions are HUGE, I was expecting normal food truck portions and ended up over ordering.

Added pictures of the poutine and the fish fillet sandwich, look at the size of that fillet, it is an inch thick and at least 3"x3" !!! Their sauce for it is a homemade sauce and perfection.

Give them your money and patience, it's well worth it.

Went back the following day because 1. Food is great 2. Options for a place to eat are very limited on a Tuesday, as in they are the only place open after 5:00.

Anyhow, turns out the applesauce is the recipe of one of the lady's grandmother and they make it, as well as almost everything else 5hwt be, from scratch. It was incredible, wish I would have gotten 2.

I never thought about putting strawberries in my broccoli salad, but they did and it totally works in place of the raisins. Only down side was that they were a bit mushy, which felt odd compared to everything else being so firm.

Anyhow if you made it this far, give them a try. The food really is very good, even with it being a...

We happened upon the newly opened space, as it was one of few places open in the off season…we’re so glad we did! The entire menu was refreshing - so many fresh and unique options. We got strawberry and root beer milkshakes, broccoli wings, quinoa Phoenix burger, and the Mr. Darcy salad.

We waited about 30 min from the time we ordered to eating, which was perfect as we got to walk around town, and then enjoy our milkshakes (AMAZING) while playing games set out on each table (so thoughtful and a preferable atmosphere to patrons with their head in the phones). Every other item we ordered was FANTASTIC with huge portions (I didn’t even get to touch the salad, but am excited to eat it tomorrow!) Broccoli wings are a must-try and the quinoa burger is the best veggie patty (housemade, too!) that my husband has ever tasted.
