“We had a fantastic dining experience with excellent food, a welcoming ambiance, and attentive service. The restaurant’s spacious patio outside added to the charm. We enjoyed both the surf and turf and the chicken Benedict dishes.”

The Towne Plaza Restaurant in Traverse City is a great brunch spot! We were attracted by the reviews, so he gave it a try. We waited 40 mins but it was worth it. While the omelettes were okay, the French toast stole the show, it’s amazing (I would spare the raisins though). The cozy atmosphere and friendly service create a welcoming experience. It’s definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Top notch! By far the best breakfast in town. Every dish was amazing. Benedict was the best I’ve ever had, and the fruit salad exceeded my expectations on what a fruit salad could be. Perfect service, seated fast, server on point, food arrived quickly and won best in show. Beautiful plateing and wonderful atmosphere. A must go for any breakfast enthusiast.

If you are looking for a great food this is your place! We have eaten here several times, and the food never disappoints. My son had the BLT with one egg over hard. I had the French toast with maple syrup. The most impressive aspect of dining here is that your food comes out very fast! There is usually a wait for a table, but it’s not very long. You could also sit at the bar like we did. We also loved their friendly service.

If you’re looking for a cozy and delicious brunch spot in Traverse City, The Towne Plaza is an absolute must-visit! I make it a point to eat breakfast or brunch here each time I visit TC. I think I am on dining experience number 11 here! I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming restaurant again and I have nothing but positive things to say. My husband and I were celebrating our first wedding anniversary.

A great brunch spot in downtown Traverse City! Expect a bit of a wait, but well worth it. Started with a great Bloody Mary – house made mix and chipotle infused vodka. The fries were excellent, and the five onion soup was simple, but super flavorful. Main course was the short rib Benedict, with super tender meat and great poached eggs. Also, the lettuce that comes on the side is amazing – super crisp and refreshing.

We had a lovely Labor day breakfast and everything was amazing! My husband and I split the fruit salad which was so sweet and fresh. I had the surf and turf Benedict which was very well balanced with the deliciously fatty pork belly along side the greens and the red hot vinaigrette which really brought everything together. On top of the delicious food, our server, Courtney, was so sweet and attentive. So glad we stopped in and we hope to come back soon!

Towne Plaza is surely one of the best brunch spots in TC. We always get consistently good service and everything I’ve ordered I would definitely get again. Right down to the house yogurt and fresh squeezed orange juice, they really don’t miss a beat on the quality of their food. The fruit salad is very unique and always hits the spot when I’m craving fresh fruit!
