Fitzgerald's Restaurant

Small restaurant with beautiful lake views! My martinis were excellent and they had a great drink menu and choices overall. My husband had udon noodles with smoked brisket, which he loved. I had the special of the night, which was meatloaf over mashed potatoes with gravy and crispy onions. Very much recommend going here! Reservations are required I believe for the most part.

After spending all day driving a quarter of the Mandan rd at the end of highway 41 we circled back to eagle river to stop and check out this gem on the shores of t Lake Superior on the tip of the upper peninsula, the moment you bend the corner the smells of bbq meander among the inner crevasses between your brain and soul , reservations are always best but for the adventurer, if there is a seat at the bar you can eat there too! They also take carry out orders for those that wish to dine on the beach!

Rustic restaurant, menu changes based on what's available, but they always have barbecue. We started with the shrimp rolls which were just okay. I had udon noodles with brisket and it was delicious. I had enough to take home for lunch the next day. My husband had the spare ribs. They were a bit dry but had lots of flavor. They were served with green beans (perfectly cooked) and mashed potatoes. We also tried the baked beans. Can't have barbecue without baked beans! They were not as soupy as what we're used to, but they were flavorful and delicious. Cheesecake for dessert was wonderful. This is a great place to view the sunset if you can book a table for that time. The menu has appetizers, small plates and entrees. The small plates looked very interesting. I would definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

The Fitzgerald is one great place to eat and to stay overnight. The room we had was amazing! The view was beautiful. All the rooms face Lake Superior, so you can't go wrong. Don't forget to make a reservation or order take-out, for the most amazing, fresh ingredient, creatively prepared meals and cocktails anywhere in the peninsula, bar none. This was our second visit to the Fitzgerald in 9 years, and it has only gotten better. From Detroit but it is totally worth the drive for the lodging, the food and the view.

What an exceptional experience in the beautiful Keeweenaw peninsula. The accommodations exceeded our expectations with many nice touches such as excellent locally roasted coffee to brew in a nice ceramic french press. The view of Lake Superior from the tastefully decorated room was superb. A great spot to watch the sunset. The friendly and professional owner and staff gave top tier service and were completely delightful over the course of our 4 night stay, providing great recommendations about the area, bringing drinks and dinner to our room and providing prompt and excellent service when we dined in the downstair restaurant. This restaurant has a great vibe. Excellent menu selection with a view. Brisket, pulled pork, mashed potoates, broussel sprout salad, and bourbon pecan pie were our favorites! They know how to smoke meats with the best of 'em. Never expected to have this delightful of a time at a hotel in the middle of nowhere. We will come back to the U.P. just to stay here again.

Enjoying the Fitz is one of our favorite experiences each year. Tonight was no exception. We started with the pickled veggies and the walleye cake. The walleye cake was probably the best appetizer I’ve ever had. Then I had the whitefish and my husband enjoyed a special — smoked prime rib. For dessert, we each picked pie that was fantastic. Also, the Spanish gin and tonic was so good!
