T J Charlies - Elk Rapids

Misses and I stopped in on a trip down the Lake Michigan coast. I had the River walk burger with peanut butter on it....mmmmmmm. The little lady had the olive burger...yum. Give this place a chance. I hope to stop here again.

Have never eaten here before today. Had a delicious lunch. The Roasted Beet Salad was wonderful. Plenty of thinly shaved red and gold beets, generous helping of feta cheese and very fresh greens. The citrus vinaigrette was a great topper and served on the side which was perfect for dressing it as little or much as you wanted. Nothing to do with the salad, but the Huge Onion Rings were fantastically crunchy on the outside with a thin light batter covering nice thick rings of perfectly cooked onion. No mush here and perfectly browned. Waitress was attentive and sweet. Must wear mask, thank you, and available seating spread out nicely. Highly recommend.

A hidden gem!! Was gravitated to this location because of the amazing smell that captivated our attention driving down the street. We got in at the tail end of lunch beginning of takeout. We were lucky, because score! Hands down had the best ribs in a long time!! The taste spoke for itself on the pride and craftsmanship the chef took and time he spent 4 hours). And the homemade pies and all the other fixings that came with it was amazing! Will spot by again when visiting the area!

Great food, friendly waitress, only negative was my sweet tea came with lemon mix in, probably mixed in

Very good sandwich and delicious banana cream pie. Friendly staff too.
