Lil Bo Bar and Restaurant — Restaurant in Traverse City

What a fantastic find in Traverse City! We looked for a place to eat on a Friday afternoon. After looking at a number of menus online, we were struck by the originality and interesting takes on classic dishes at Little Bo’s. We were NOT disappointed! The waitress said they cure their own meats and hand brine and batter their chicken fingers. One ordered the fried bologna po’boy. Wonderful and nostalgic taste! Another ordered the front porch chicken fingers and waffle fries with special sauce. They were the most tender chicken fingers she’s ever had! The sauce was tasty. I ordered a cup of the Nantucket chowder. It was like ordering seafood in a bowl. It was full of seafood and veggies. It was amazing! Then I ordered a grilled ham and cheese with pumpkin butter. It sounded interesting. It was so good! Just a little sweet with the savory. It was served with chips and pickled green beans. We want to go back to try new things! Thanks for an amazing meal! Highly recommend...

I am so glad we found this gem! Every single item we ordered blew us away! The Buffalo Chicken was the best my husband has ever had. The Wedge Salad was the best I've ever had and this is an item I order frequently. The pickle appetizer pictured was unique and delicious! The specialty Mule was refreshing and perfectly balanced. Not pictured was the kids chicken fingers and soup which were both a big hit with us and the kiddos! Overall we loved everything.

Our server, Jill, was so lovely. She went above and beyond, was attentive, friendly and her recommendations were on point. Flawless service and we felt right at home.

Very family friendly. Our kids had a great time playing pool, Pac Mac, dancing to the live music and coloring.

We happened to be there on a Thursday night and the musician, Lars, was great! His music and personality were really enjoyable.

I would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone. Can't wait to go back next time we are in...

was very disappointed when coming here. i have only ever heard decent things about this place but my experience was quite the opposite. i had a server that goes by the name jill and at first she was nice. she took our drink orders then later on came back and asked what we wanted to eat. after we were done eating, she came with one receipt and asked if this would be together or separate which we answered separate. this must’ve irritated her because she rolled her eyes and quickly stormed back to print off both of our receipts. i gave her the money that was owed and she asked if i wanted change back which i replied no. i figured that i would tip her on the table before we left so i could count out how much i had. she came back with all of my change told me to just keep my dollar and was very disrespectful afterwards. with this behavior, i decided not to tip her and left. i personally would never go here again after experiencing this...
