I think the moral of the story for this restaurant is " don't judge a place by its name", I'm not going to lie, I think the name is dumb. BUT, don't let it fool you, the food was absolutely amazing. We had the brisket stroganoff and the short ribs, and wow. The ribs were cooked to absolute perfection, I'm talking fall a part when you touch them, the pureed carrots, amazing. Everything went together so well, I hope whoever cooked our food, wins the lottery, because they deserve the best in life. Ambiance of the place is like a small diner, I would probably walk past it if I was picking a restauran, but do not pass go, head directly inside. enjoy!

We were shopping along Front St & decided to have dinner here. We were greeted & seated right away. We were intrigued by the nice variety on their menu. I loved my drink. I can't remember the name but it was made with bourbon, lemon, egg white & an aroma bubble. It looked fantastic when it arrived. It tasted delicious as well. My husband and I started off sharing a Caesar salad which was dressed perfectly, not drowning in dressing. I had the Berkshire heritage pork ribeye. The pork was cooked perfectly and so tender. The charred broccolini & glazed carrots were excellent. The gremolata on top was delicious and tasted like it had fresh mint in it. A lot of flavors that really complimented the pork. My husband had the chicken confit. He loved it. It has the perfect amount of curry. We both had dessert; the cherry crisp as well as a coconut cake. This was the only part of our meal that was mediocre. I would absolutely go back for dinner & just skip dessert. Still giving it 5 stars for the main course & service

Absolutely amazing dinner experience! Everything was perfect, the pastas are a 10/10 and the chocolate oblivion dessert is a must, BUT the absolute standout was Jeff, our server who went above and beyond to make our experience excellent! Thank you Jeff for being the best server we've had during our time in Traverse City!

EVERYTHING WAS OUTSTANDING! LOVED every morsel of food (Try their Pita Chips!) and Service was 5 Star! Lauren was our excellent and attentive Server! Emily was also nearby to assure that every detail was perfect! Of course, it was! Lauren could not have been more professional! You MUST go there! Try desserts too! You will also LOVE every menu item, like we did!

We returned here for a second time after over a year, because our first experience was great. The second time around was also excellent. Come early, because it fills up fast. We were able to walk in and get seated around 5 pm, and by the time we left they were at least two thirds full. Service is friendly, seating is comfortable throughout, though it can get a little noisy when the place fills up. I had the Baked Eggplant w/red pepper pesto, asparagus, zucchini, spinach, roasted shallot and basil cream and feta. Flavors were popping everywhere, they do a great job using intense ingredients and not too much of them to make every bite outstanding, and the portions are just right. In addition, we had a green salad with toasted quinoa and grilled shrimp. The small salad was more than an adequate portion. For dessert we had the key lime pie, with an abundant graham cracker crumb crust, piped whipped cream, and a raspberry coulis on the plate. Another great place to dine in Traverse City that I fully endorse. Don't miss it.

The seafood stew here is amazing. Broth is to die for and could drink it, it was so good! My husband and I split the whitefish cakes and an appetizer and those were so flavorful. The green sauce with them is sweet but savory. My husband for the beef stroganoff and it was lack luster sadly. It came out room temp, super soupy, and little to no flavor. Not sure what happened there, but was bummed. Would recommend this place to anyone and we have taken our out of town family here numerous times!

Came here for lunch on a fall afternoon. Inside was welcoming but noticed a lot of flies which was off putting? Lots of tables and booths, along with bar top seating. Restrooms are in the back. Lots of local art on the wall for décor. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Great menu with tons of options! My husband went with the grilled cheese and it was amazing especially the parmesan crusted sourdough. So much ooey gooeyness in the grilled cheese. I went with the trio soups but was disappointed with one of the soups being out (ham and pea was out). The soups were tomato spinach, southwest corn and quinoa, and some type of wedding chicken soup? The trio soups are samples for the most part portion wise. The southwest corn and quinoa was my favorite but all of the soups were delicious. I also got the whitefish cakes which was a great choice. Two good pieces of whitefish cakes - lots of fish. Getting our bill and checking out took a bit. But overall was a good experience and would come back!

Enjoyable lunch in Traverse City with friends. We shared a few things -- a caprese salad and a whitefish cake. Very good and we enjoyed the atmosphere too.

What's the one place in Traverse City you have to eat at when you're there? For us it's poppycockstc. Everything is always very fresh & ?very delicious. The desserts are phenomenal!!! This time we indulged in the luxurious key lime pie. Super thick graham cracker crust with a creamy, tangy key lime filling served with a side of whipped cream to help cut the flavor just a bit. Ohhhhh We also loved the famous Tomato Spinach Swiss soup. Even on a hot summer day, we still had to get this favorite. Highly recommend the delicious Cherry Chicken Salad Sandwich & the Green Plate - flatbread with an assortment of local mushrooms, sweet onion, asparagus on a creamy brie drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette. Savory, creamy & a little sweet.
