Reviews for Tipsy Bear Bistro in West Branch, MI
My friend and I randomly came across this place for lunch and we were very happy with our choices. We both got an apple cider... mixed drink that was delicious with a caramel cinnamon rim, and a smoked ham and cheese croissant. The herb mayo they used onthe sandwich was the perfect tangyness for it. The interior of the bistro is pretty cool, an eclectic selection of wine coversthe walls and the ambience is cozy. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling through West Branch that wants something differentfrom the usual options. Read more
We popped in our our way to Mackinac Island. Yummy food! I had the salmon and shrimp special. Cocktails on point!
We booked a reservation on a busy Saturday night and it was wonderful! Beef kabob appetizer with rice pilaf and yumyum sauce was... gone in seconds! The brisket grilled cheese with raspberry jalapeno BBQ sauce was also lip smacking good! The chicken and cheesetortellini was rich and the veggies were tender! The petite steak medallions are my favorite, always super satisfying! Everysingle dessert we had was perfectly balanced and beautifully plated! Read more
Food was really good and reasonably priced and they had a huge menu of everything something to please everyone
Very pleased. Food was delicious. The tipsy bear burger is huge and has fantastic flavor. The Blackened Ribeye w/bacon,... lettuce, tomato on a parmesan & Herb crusted sourdough bread and a cup of asparagus soup was perfect. Totally loved the frenchfries. My hat is off to the chef. Definitely will return to try other meals. Our server, Mary, was great and very attentive. Read more
Our group of six adults were looking for an established unique restaurant to have lunch. We are so glad that we found this... terrific place. Nice menu options. Delicious food. Good house red wine -- Goru (Spain). I would enjoy returning to the TipsyBear Bistro for lunch or dinner. Our server, Lacey, was wonderful, too. Read more
My appetizer soup (that was more like a chili) unfortunately was just average. I had the Korean kabob on a bed of rice that was... very good and priced accordingly. Food came out quickly with great service. Large wine selection with craft beer available.Quaint, up north atmosphere with plastic table coverings and paper napkins. Indoor/outdoor seating with full bar. Unsure if theyhad Wi-fi. Street and side building parking. Bring cash if you don?t want to pay a 4% credit card fee. Sorta takes away fromthe style of the establishment and might be better just to be worked in the cost of the entree. I would return. Read more
This is our favorite place to eat anytime we're in West Branch. The food is always wonderful! Fred is a very talented chef????We... do wish the decor could get a face lift- especially the cleaning closet as soon as you walk in the door. That would make a greatroom to sell their wines! Read more
