On the way up to Traverse City, hungry, we missed the exit to eat at a different place, so found ourselves here instead. A very fortuitous mistake, I think! Highly recommend the Lobster & Brie omelet, Banana Bread French Toast and chocolate chip cake! Mexican omelet was good, but I wouldn't order the avocado toast again. (There were 4 of us dining). ;)
Uptown grill has a wonderful breakfast and lunch menu with a welcoming, upbeat atmosphere. The restaurant was full when my family and I went and I can see why. I ordered the baklava french toast and it was wonderful! There were several options for every classic breakfast item that sounded wonderful. I'll have to be back when I'm in Bay City and try more of the menu.
I will start off by saying that this is a nice place and usually the food here is pretty good. However, the service I received this Sunday was ridiculous. We waited well over forty minutes watching multiple people who came in after us get seated before us. I brought up my frustration to my server and she said she wasn’t sure why but that she would check. She never did. My partner and I were brought out dirty coffee cups twice with lipstick being on one of them. I had to ask four separate times to get a clean coffee cup, each time there was some kind of excuse as to why the cups are dirty. Then the food comes out and one of our plates had dried syrup on it, meanwhile the item ordered was an omelet. The food was luke warm and in total we waited almost two hours, very disappointing. Save your money and your time and eat somewhere else.
The food here is always wonderful. Service is good and food comes at a decent time.
Great food and service. Had the waffle Cristo, highly recommend it. Started raining really hard, three ladies were leaving and a staff member grabbed his umbrella and walked them to their car. I mean, come on. I loved everything about it and will definitely return when I'm back in town.
Absolutely phenomenal food! They were very busy so we had a little bit of a wait but it was worth it! The blueberry bread French toast was the best thing I’ve ever had for breakfast.
The food was delicious!The server Kerri was very nice.The place was clean, and looked modern. I’m not sure if it was recently built or remodeled but I don’t see many businesses out there where the owner(s) maintain it or reinvest into the business to keep it up to date. I wish more owners did the same. One suggestion I have is to create a QR code that will be on every table and once scanned it’ll send you to the digital menu.BONUS POINTS if you include pictures of ALL the food on the menu.I will come here again in the near future.
Went here 2 days in a row whole on vacation because of how good the food and service was. The lobster and brie omelette was amazing especially with a side of sourdough toast ?.Second day had the Italian sandwich and my wife had, what she called, the best Cobb salad she's ever had.The service was amazing and it was great to see the owner out on the floor doing whatever needed to be done. You can tell they care about the people and the quality.
My first experience at Uptown Grill was lunch with a fellow Realtor. The restaurant was clean and bright. The food was delicious, but the chips were not my favorite. Our server was very attentive, but also very courteous of our conversation.
On 2/4/22 I ordered the Lobster and Brie Omelet with a side of hash browns. My meal was delicious. The service was great. The next time I am in Bay City I plan on stopping by again.
