Boone's Long Lake Inn - Traverse City

Since I was a child, visiting Boones has always felt like a special treat. Recently, my wife and I were passing through town and decided to stop by for dinner. I enjoyed the prime rib, but unfortunately, it was cold. My wife's fried chicken was overcooked and brought to mind the turkey from "Christmas Vacation." We still have fond feelings for the restaurant, but we wished we had chosen a different place on this occasion.

This restaurant is an exceptional choice for dinner. We were visiting from out of state and were so impressed with the food and atmosphere that we returned for dinner on two consecutive nights. The service was also outstanding.

Husband and I are camping with our 5th wheel up in Traverse City, Mi. and never would miss not going to Boones Long Lake Inn for dinner. A great up north kind of restaurant away from the busy city. A large place with outside dining and two big rooms inside.Beautiful fireplace and decorated very rustic, adds to the up north charm and atmosphere. Menu has something for everyone, theyare known for their steaks, prime rib, awesome perch, crab legs, lobster, and the list goes on. Walked in about 6:30 andimmediately seated.Our server was Scott and he took our drink order and informed us it was all you could eat shrimp, fried,broiled or scampi style. I chose the fried shrimp and hub chose pork chops. We both ordered a salad and it had the best croutonsin it, and very tasty Ranch dressing, their salads are very good !! The mini loaf of bread was still warm and very good.When ourdinners came they looked delicious and were the ever, yum!That was one big plate of shrimp, piping hot and oh so good. My bakedpotato was hot and darn good. Hub got two big, thick cut pork chops with Barbecue sauce on the side. He could only eat onebecause he was chowing down on my shrimp, he took a doggie bag for his un eaten pork chop. I would say he had the best of bothworlds!! HA! Scott took great care of us, we appreciated that. We had such a delicious dinner and the service was excellent.This place is a hangout for all the locals. Prices I felt were comparable to most in Traverse City. Highly recommend dining hereA+ Debbie

We had an awesome server, I seen all the servers and waitstaff be amazing to all the guests. The ambiance was chill still fancy . Outdoor deck dining area. Bar. Nice restrooms. Food is good, but I wasn 't wowed . From the servers and waitstaffcombined with the ambiance I expected the same wow with our meals.

We had a fantastic dining experience with delicious food and excellent service. We ordered the steak and lobster, which was sweet and juicy. Our server, Rhea, was outstanding. We also really enjoyed the rustic atmosphere of the restaurant. Highly recommended!
