Your Fall Restaurant Guide

By Beth Milligan | Sept. 18, 2023

The weather may be cooling down, but the culinary scene in northern Michigan is heating up. This summer, the Northern Express explored six new restaurants, two of which started life as food trucks and built such a following that they expanded into brick and mortar; two others that offered updated concepts in beloved community dining spaces; and the remaining two that created brand-new establishments with fresh ideas and even fresher flavors.

From tacos to burgers, American-style brunch to Southern-style supper, small plates to on-the-go meals, the Northern Express has your recommendations for where to dine this fall. The Northern Express is available to read online, or pick up a free copy at one of nearly 700 spots in 14 counties across northern Michigan.
