Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed in Copper Harbor for three days and wanted a sit-down spot one morning instead of just grab-and-go from Jamsen's. Staying at the Bella Vista, it was less than a minute walk to get here in the morning. We got seated right away; the...server was friendly and service was incredibly fast! It was also a good sized portion and very filling. I had eggs, toast, sausage and hash browns. It is pretty much the only place for a sit-down breakfast in Copper Harbor and I recommend coming here for a nice, hot breakfast (they also serve lunch and dinner).More

Showed up at 11:50am on a Monday and were told we couldn’t come in because they weren’t ready for lunch yet. We were let in after noon, but told the special listed on the sign at the road wasn’t available until tomorrow because they hadn’t...made it yet. Waitress was great, but very small menu. No kids menu, so paid $15/kid for adult lunches. Food was fine. Grilled cheeses and burgers. Others had fish sandwiches. Large portions.More

Great quick service and food! It's a great place to get traditional breakfast fare. We stop in every time we go to Copper Harbor.

Stopped for breakfast on our last day in Copper Harbor. It was busy but we were served timely. Food taste was good and there was plenty of it. Prices were reasonable. I would recommend.

Tamarack is perfect for a hearty breakfast! Super friendly and attentive service. We wished they were open for supper.

We arrived to this restaurant and stood at door for a extended amount of time. Plenty tables open. Watched one waitress hustling around and attended to many table while the other waitress was behind a counter on a cell phone. She finally came over at...sat us at a table. While we looked at the menu the waitress went to the table next to us and took their order and walked away. After sitting at the table for now 20 minutes and ready to order, the same waitress went black to the same table and asked them if they were ready to order. They said you already took our order and she went to walk away and I spoke up and we are ready to order. I really felt like I was putting her out for asking that. She took the order and when the food was brought out it was not the correct order. Our table ordered blueberry pancakes and she just brushed us off. She walked into the kitchen, which you could hear her talking to the cook that it was suppose to be the blueberry pancakes, he stated take I’d off the bill. She walked out of the kitchen and went back to the counter and went back on the cell phone. We had to call her over and ask if the blueberry pancakes would be made and she said “oh you really want them”? Boy I felt like I was not a welcomed customer there.More

We got there at 8 AM right at opening, and found many people lined up outside waiting to get in. Even though a whole crowd came in at one time, the waitresses were not flustered, had a smile, and were always hustling with breakfast and...coffee for everyone. The food is reasonable, hot, and tasty. Perfect breakfast bacon! I would absolutely go back again. Well done!More

We had stopped for lunch on Sep 15th 2022 and ordered white fish with fries. Food very fresh and not overcooked and not overpriced. We definitely will eat there again.

We ate here twice for lunch and had very good experiences both times. Menu and food are simple, but well prepared with large portions. We had the smoked pork, brisket, and fish sandwich over our meals and all were tasty and served with very good...fries and slaw. Service was friendly and quick in a clean dining room with nice views of the harbor and lake. A very good choice for lunch, and wish they were open in the evenings.More

I pulled into the first restaurant we passed when we decided we were ready for lunch. The place had a bit of a family restaurant vibe to it. Unfortunately, there was no BBQ items, so I couldn't get the brisket. I had the whitefish instead...and it was excellent. My daughter had a burger. I think we had onion rings too. It was all very good. My daughter was thrilled that they had free wifi as there is not cell service around Copper Harbor.More

Nice cozy place. Friendly waitress. You could tell there was a rif between the older waitress and the owner's daughter. That might explain the atmosphere of feeling like someone died when you walked in and eating. But I'd give it another try.

My friends had the brisket and I had the pulled pork. It was absolutely delicious. It was really good. The sweet barbecue sauce was the best.

We stopped at Tamarack after a very cold and windy visit to Ft. Wilkins (also good to visit). Only one waitress was on duty and she was clearly run off her feet, but she somehow maintained her good cheer and was able to give us...good service. We had a burger and fish sandwich, coffee, and hot chocolate; all were good. We were glad to see COVID safety measures in place: Tables were spaced apart, our waitress wore a mask, and people waiting for tables were outside. This isn't a fancy place by any means, but overall it was clean, with good food and good service.More

Besides being one of the few places being open for breakfast (September & COVID), they took safety precautions seriously. Tables were placed far apart, staff wore masks, and diners waited outside the building until their table was ready. Food & coffee very good.
