Boone’s Prime Time Pub

Hands down the best Bloody Mary I have ever had! Well worth it! Great atmosphere as well as menu options. A short, but scenic, drive from Traverse City. Great menu options and opening soon is their roof top seating. We will be back soon!

Very nice atmosphere. Service was fast and friendly. The onion rings were awesome. The steak sandwich was ok. The mushroom burger was pretty.

Wonderful food and great service. Clarissa was our server, she was very knowledgeable, sweet, and very attentive. The lady who sat us was also very sweet. Seems like a wonderful place to work and full of kind, gracious people! We had our 4 month old son with us and I felt very comfortable to nurse him while seated in the restaurant.
My husband had the 16 oz NY strip, well, I ended up finishing it. It was so tender and juicy! I had the southern fried chicken. The breading was crunchy and the inside was very juicy. My son had the children’s chicken strips and fries. There were two very large, very tasty chicken tenders (that I also finished).
When we were finished, my husband asked Clarissa for our check. She said that our bill was already paid for. It took me a second to take that in and realize what she said. She said she was not sure who had paid it for us. After she left I began to tear up. This was our very first experience with a meal paid for us, and we look forward to visiting again and paying it forward to another family.
If the person who paid our bill for us reads this, thank you so very much! It was a very neat experience to explain to our 6 year old in our way home the kindness of others and those we have never met. God Bless.

Friendly service, fresh delicious food. Great local beer on tap. We started with the homemade broccoli cheddar soup and followed with burgers. The beef burger was very tasty, the veggie burger was okay. The addition of drunken mushrooms and caramelized onions help disguise the bland taste of the veggie burger. What I really liked was you could add fries or not. Who needs fries with the soup and we really wanted to try the onion rings. They were perfect. Lightly breaded/​battered and thick cut onions, perfectly cooked. We’ll be back!

Stopped by for dinner while exploring Suttons Bay. Ordered the Bleu Cheese burger. One of the best burgers I’ve ever had, and the fries were great as well. The service was very good and friendly. If I’m ever in the area again I would go back for sure.

Very delicious! I got the sliders and my friend got the chicken tenders. Both were very good! The bourbon sauce that comes with the chicken tenders is delicious! The waitstaff was friendly. The atmosphere was good, as you would expect from a pub and grill. The fries were great! I judge a place by their fries and they did them well! I would definitely return

Excellent steaks, food and atmosphere. The filet with blue cheese is excellent. The porterhouse for two is more like for three. Recommend going up on your cooking time for steaks as they were a little rare but this is a must try on the Bay!

Best hamburger around. Great friendly attentive wait staff. Would definately go back!

Small place in Suttons bay known for there burger Ground fresh daily We sat in a booth and ordered onion rings to start I had the M22 burger which is a half pound burger with mustard grilled onions and a thousand island dressing The burger was excellent Everyone else’s was excellent too Great beer selection too!

Five stars for the institution that is Boone’s Prime Time Pub!
Boone’s is like a big warm bear hug. A hearty «welcome home» that envelopes you in familiarity and comfort.
I’ve been to Boone’s plenty of times as I grew up in the area and spent my formative years in Suttons Bay. Now I return as a semi-​native and never skip a chance to enjoy some pub fare at beloved Boone’s. Perched as you enter downtown SB from the south, Boone’s is a mainstay in the village, complete with the look and feel of a place you want to return to. Full of locals, but the door is always open to visitors as well. It’s just a damn good little place.
Our most recent visit was a blustery day before NYE with some out of town friends. We were looking for a great lunch nearby, and Boone’s more than delivered. Dare I say it was the perfect vacation lunch. The kind of lunch you take when you have long forgotten what day it is, and are in no rush to be anywhere for anything. As we cozied up in one of the fireplace booths, ordered a round of beers (and a well received bloody mary!) and started to peruse the menu… it struck me that this is such an enjoyable place.
The food is above average for a pub. My M-​22 classic burger was deliciously sinful. The cottage chips I stole from my husband were LEGIT. The homemade chicken soup? Probably suitable to cure any illness known to man. The service was delightful. The beers are of good quality and selection (my preferred is the Bells Two Hearted), but also the regulars to keep the traditionals happy. Strikes a great balance and appeals to a wide demographic without overdoing it.
There’s a reason Boone’s has been the mainstay on the block of many, many years and I hope it remains that way forever and ever. I’ll see you in the summer, lover!

Great Northwoods dining… service is always fast, specials are priced right — We have Boone’s on our Leelanau Hamburger Hit Parade … Dicks, Happy Hour, Bird, Sugarfoot, KnotaBar, Garage — Shuffle & Repeat

really, really good. i loved the fish i had for lunch. it tasted very fresh. the portion size was enough that i was satisfied but not feeling ill. i want to try every single thing on this menu. the ONLY downside was that the server really tried to «sell» us, suggesting that we order onion rings, wine, chowder, salads, desserts, etc., every time she visited our table. i want to try the onion rings but there is no way i could do it with the fish and fries. but i will be back.

I’ve eaten here a lot and my top favorites are the salmon, burgers, ribs and steaks, also the Tomato basil soup is to DIE for

Very pleasant. Service is fast and quality. Kind of has a true Northern Michigan feel. Basically a clean bar with real food. A lot of TV’s and a peculiar «half booth» secluded and in direct view of the TV. Perfect for the lone business traveler

Service here is über friendly and attentive. Good mix of the locals and tourists. They do a good job with local fish and burgers.
Their onion rings can’t be beat. We placed a 2^nd order after the first was quickly gobbled up. I normally am not a ranch dressing fan, but theirs is homemade and tasty.
Our group today had 3 orders of the perch Reuben and a perch sandwich. Nice portion, I’m saving my 2^nd half for lunch on the beach.
Also appreciate a few local wines and beers. That’s why we are here: to enjoy the local favorites.
My only criticism is the side salad is just your boring ho-​hum iceberg/​romaine with carrot, cucumbers and tomatoes.

Not Boone’s (like Boone’s Long Lake Inn) but still worth a visit. This location is small and the service is ok. The food is decent, but nothing to write home about. If you are looking for a place to stop on the way to Traverse City, it’s doable. The Lake Michigan whitefish was luke warm but edible. It’s a little pricey.

Friendly service, decent food, nice casual atmosphere. Good selection of beers to wash down the huge burgers, which is the thing to order here.

The hubs and I love us some small town pub action. This place has a really great atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. We sat at the bar, but there is a beautiful fireplace that you can sit near and enjoy.
I had a bowl of delish Italian vegetable beef soup and yyyuummmmm. Hit the spot on a cold day. The hubs ordered the grilled chicken with fries. I liked the fries — crispy and a little towards well done but that’s just how I like them! Naturally I dunked them in ranch and was pleased to find that the ranch is made onsite.
The bar features local tastes of wine as well as draft and bottled beers. The bartender let us know that the onion rings are hand dipped and are quite tasty so we’ll have to try those next time!

One of the best burgers of my life. Absolutely fantastic. Cute little restaurant with a log cabin feel. Even the bathrooms there were great! My family and I arrived at 2:00 and there wasn’t a place to sit so we were given our drinks and invited to sit at the bar temporarily. After getting seated in a booth 10 minutes later, the waitress gave us the perfect amount of time to order. She wasn’t hovering, but she didn’t disappear for 10 minutes at a time. After giving our order to the friendly waitress, our delicious burgers arrived within 15 minutes. My girlfriend and I split the delicious Monster Burger while my parents enjoyed their own individual burgers. My mom has a lot of food allergies and was accommodated very nicely here.
If I had to make a negative comment, it would be that (being a Cubs fan), the beautiful HDTVs on the wall were showing the Tiger’s game.
Overall, without a doubt, ⁵⁄₅.

This is a cute little place in the adorable «sea side» town of Suttons Bay, about 20 miles from Traverse City. I’m hesitant to suggest the restaurant or the city as a destination place, because there is quite frankly, so little to see and do there. But if you happen to be in the TC area and are looking for something a little different, it was a nice distraction. It’s also part of the bike trail network, so you if you’re biking from TC or along M-​22, you could use this pit stop to «break up» your ride.
The place is small, cabin-​like, and pretty cozy. Two dollar Bloody Mary’s got me in the door, but the appetizer I split (Arizona Egg Rolls) was actually really good too. I only glanced at the rest of the menu, but it looked a little on the pricier side as far as casual fare goes.
Wish I had more info beyond this review and pictures I added, other than to say it fit in perfectly with it’s surroundings, and that I’ll be back when I am up that way!
