Mode's Bum Steer

No frills steakhouse with a good menu selection. My strip steak was cooked absolutely perfectly, as was my wife's filet. Atmosphere reminds me of a classic Montana "out West" style bar/steakhouse. Service is impeccable!! The place was packed with mostly locals on a Tuesday night... That's a good sign.

If you are looking for a great steak in a relaxed atmosphere, Mode's is the place to be. The service is fantastic and friendly, the food is delicious, and the whole experience is very happy. The place was packed but this staff knows what they are doing, we were seated right away and treated like we were the only ones in the restaurant. The steak was perfectly cooked to order and the rest of the meal was great. I would highly recommend Mode's Bum Steer!

Blackened Prime Rib. Didn't know I needed this, but I did. Service was a bit slow, they were very busy and each server seemed to have too many tables. Not fair to them that they are under staffed. Didn't like that salad can out at same time as dinner, no chance to eat them without food getting cold. The prime rib was good overall, asked for medium rare, it was medium well and only seared on one side. The polish sausage appetizer the table shared was fantastic.

My parents have raved about this place for at least 2 decades and I finally got to go myself. Was not disappointed. The prime rib was amazing. You can cut it with a knife it's so tender. I also got the Steak and Mushroom soup... delicious. Everything was cooked spot on and we gorged. It's very pricy, but the prime rib was worth it. It's a simple, old-school dive with a trendy crowd.

This restaurant has a great old time steakhouse ambiance and coziness that was irresistible. I sat at the bar as the tables were already full at 4:30 PM on October 11th. The bartenders were friendly and very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. I had the blue cheese wedge salad and prime rib - it was one of the best rib's I've ever had and rivals the top steakhouses in my home state of Oklahoma. I was in town to play Arcadia Bluff's golf courses. Highly recommend this restaurant as one of the best in Traverse City.

Local pub a little outside of town. Stopped by quickly before leaving town. They had four seasonal beers on tap. We had the escargot, egg rolls, and the french dip. I'd never had escargot so I don't have anything to compare it to: It was covered in garlic and butter and tasted good. The egg rolls were deep fried and perfect four our after a long night drinking. The french dip was light on the shaved prime rib, too much bread for the amount of meat. Service was good.
