Rick’s Cafe in Leland delivers a truly memorable dining experience, especially if you love eating outdoors with a beautiful view. Sitting outside overlooking the fish area creates an amazing vibe that enhances the meal. The atmosphere is casual and perfect for a relaxed outing. The food is decent with good flavor, and the portions are satisfying for the price. Although service can be a bit slow at times, the staff is friendly and attentive when they are around. The outdoor seating makes it a standout spot in Leland for those who appreciate waterfront dining. I highly recommend Rick’s Cafe for anyone wanting a unique Northern Michigan experience with a lovely riverside setting. It’s definitely worth visiting for the ambiance alone. A solid five-star rating from me!

We had to try a little bit of everything here. We had the seafood chowder, chubby bloody which was an experience, white fish pate and chicken sandwich. Everything was so delicious. You walk in and sit where there is an available seat, the server comes over shortly and starts your order. Nice dam in the background for visual satisfaction.

A great place to grab a bite to eat. We were just getting back from an island trip to South Manitou and needed to grab a bite before heading home. The service was speedy and sitting right next to the dam was awesome.
The menu is very limited. Only a hot dog or Mac n cheese for kids and roughly ten items for adults. This contributes to the speediness but if you are traveling with a picky eater, this might not be the place for you.

This was our first visit here and were pleasantly surprised. We had a beautiful view of the dam. We decided to eat light and shared a bowl of “The Cove’s Famous Chowder” which was packed with full pieces of shrimp along with crab, clams and possibly white fish too. It was AMAZING! If we had a cooler with us we would have taken some home. Hope to be back!

We enjoyed sitting right along the river. Server was efficient. The place was very dirty. Our burgers were significantly undercooked.

Such a fun spot to visit and grab a quick bite and drink. You seat yourself and the service was quick and friendly. Ordered the whitefish pate with wonton chips which was bomb!! Being outside next to the water which is great.

The service was good and the view was awesome. We sat outside because the weather was beautiful and we got to sit by the water for the best view of the dam. The famous chowder lived up to its name but our favorite menu item was the chubby Bloody Mary with the smoked fish, delicious.

Such a great cafe! It’s the smaller and more layed back version of The Cove, but it’s still as great! The folks working there were awesome, the food was delicious and it was a great atmosphere! As for the bad review I saw posted… I disagree with everything said. It’s not a michelin star restaurant, and that’s why it’s great! And to compare the food to fast food or gas station food was a disgrace and quite rude. If you want “fancier” food go upstairs to The Cove. I loved this place because it just had a more layed back vibe and all around it’s just a great cafe! That being said it’s definitely work a try and you might even get a visit from the local ducklings
Y’all keep up the great work!

Went here in August with my family, child, and dog. With no signs saying no dogs, we entered the outside area and sat down under the tiki umbrellas. We sat for a little over 5 minutes, patiently waiting for a waiter. Finally, we got one to acknowledge us, who told us they were not our waitress but she would find him. Gone for another 4ish minutes, comes back and tells us we are not allowed to sit in that spot due to my dog- whom was patiently laying at my feet. I asked where we should sit. She claimed there was two tables for dog owners but both were in use- by people with no dogs. She told us we would have to leave the area and wait outside the restaurant opening. It was very unwelcoming and a long wait on a hot day to be kicked out.
