Nice place with sort of a VFW / American Legion hall vibe. Friendly staff and neighbors bumping i to each other. The food was tasty with generous portions. From what my wife and I saw on our trip to the area, this place was pretty affordable and seemed popular with the locals.

Food was good. Nothing special, typical bar food. Onion rings were great though. Service was above and beyond. The waitress did everything in her power to make my mother a drink of her special request. Location is in a great spot before you get into Traverse City coming south. Lots of TVs with sports on, but the place felt a bit dingy. Not dirty, but our table was a little stick. Good spot for a late dinner or drink.

The meals came with a salad and a vegetable. She ordered the Prime Rib ($33.75) and I had the Walleye ($22.87). Her prime rib can out warm and had a fair amount of fat. My walleye filet was generous and very delicious! The asparagus had not been properly trimmed, and the stalks retained their woody ends. Local drafts were $5.72 and $6.24. Duanne St. was very attentive and helpful by asking other staff to give us suggestions for local wineries. There was a 4% up charge for using a credit card.

1st time ever giving a bad review! Pizza was excellent! Waitress Jodi had an attitude!!! In a big hurry right from the start even though it was 3 hours before closing. While ordering the Deluxe pizza I ask if I could swap out an item she said we can’t change the items, I understood, then ask can I take off the Green Peppers, she responded sure no problem. She put the bill down on the table half way through dinner, she came back twice in about 3 min. looking for payment. The third time very shortly after, my husband gives her his credit card.
I always tip, which I still gave her 19%. But after looking at the itemized bill , I noticed she over charged by $4. She ringed up a pizza with 4 items vrs. The Deluxe minus the peppers. When I brought it to her attention, nicely, she stated that’s our policy ordering a deluxe you can’t change it. I responded respectfully you didn’t tell me that. She responded , I don’t have time to argue with you
and pulls out her tip bag. She wants to know how much she owes me. I told her the difference is $4. She started to argue again and pulls $3 out. I told her I do not want your tip money. She throws it on the table and walks away. We are very disappointed, been to restaurant before and enjoyed it. Not sure if we will go back.

We went there around 6 pm on a Friday and they were busy. We had a short wait but were able to get cocktail to pass time. I got the BLT with chips. Yum. Kids are allowed but it does seem to be a local meet and drink place. It all seemed to be enjoyed by people there to dine.

The staff were friendly and fun to engage with, and the prices were extremely reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area (lots in the $50-$100 range). I was excited to see they had a lamb gyro on the menu but, unfortunately, I got exactly what I paid for. The gyro should’ve been listed on the menu as a side dish.
In their defense, I was surrounded by several customers that I’m confident were regulars so it’s quite likely I just chose the wrong menu item, but I got what I got and this was my honest experience at the Bayview.

Great local spot! We love sitting in the booths and looking at East Bay. The food is amazing, pizza is delicious, prime rib, ribs, gyros, yum! The bar is so cool, and they have a quiet side.

Lunch with a group of 6 and the food and customer service exceeded our expectations. Our waitress was super friendly, she picked up on our vibe and made our lunch so much fun. Our food came quickly and everything was very good. The view of the bay is great, the atmosphere was bar or diner-like. Would stop back in again next time in town.

We stopped in for lunch last Monday and we had such a good experience. There seemed to be only one server, Kelsey, and she was amazing. She was incredibly pleasant, welcoming, efficient and accurate. She kept our beverages full and checked on us regularly. Our food was just as ordered and absolutely delicious!
Many restaurants have good food, but servers can make or break the experience. Kelsey is one of those servers. She was so upbeat and friendly that she lightened the day. We’ll definitely return!

We came for supper and ate on the outside deck. It was fantastic! Our wait staff was attentive and helpful. We enjoyed our vittles… pizza, sub, breaded mushrooms and onion rings. It was reasonably priced too. We would definitely come back.
