My boyfriend and I are huge foodies, and find ourselves naturally drawn to spicy food since you can always guarantee there will be at least some flavor there. However, the entrees that we chose were both super spicy, to the point where I couldn't finish mine, and my boyfriend had stomach issues the rest of the night because of it.... More

If you haven't been to Poppycocks in a while you are going to want to get in there. They have a new chef and menu and it super fresh and fantastic. Service is always top notch....

This restaurant looked like it was going to be a nice romantic dinner for my partner and I. The menu was pretty limited but the food was excellent. The presentation was very nice and the portions were good for the prices. The service was pretty good, with the only issue being the unresponsiveness of the waitress. The atmosphere of this... More

I've visited Poppycocks the last couple of times I've been to Traverse City and its been excellent each time. I've had the whitefish(excellent) and the chipotle honey beef brisket (even better then excellent). The service has been friendly, knowledgable and quite to please. Although, I think I could visit just for the key lime pie itself, it's fantastic and a... More

This place has it all - great drinks, crave-able food and BEST of all - locally sourced meats (can I get a grass-fed burger up in here!). I am all for supporting a restaurant that is tied in to its local economy and this one right here is it. Fresh, tasty, friendly. Totally hip. Go. Do it. You won't be... More

Our experience at Poppycocks has always been stellar. We enjoyed our meals and were able to find enough vegetarian options to make the selecting a challenge. The soup was amazing and I ordered a couple of their homemade rolls to go with the soup. We ended up order another order of rolls. They were so soft and warm and excellent.... More

First and foremost, it's a small diner in downtown Traverse City. If you like diversity this is your place. We were there for lunch. My traditional turkey sandwich was served with bacon, avocado and a mayo/mustard dressing. Excellent. The triple grilled cheese was beyond any I've tasted. It was divide into thirds..one goat cheese and figs, one brie and orange/raspberry... More

Went here with a few friends for lunch. Excellent, freshly prepared food. Unique soups, salads and sandwiches. Definitely a must visit if you're in town. I imagine dinner would be just as good, but ran out of time and missed giving it another try at dinner.
