We ate at the patio attached to Joe’s (there’s no signs but I’m pretty sure it’s the same restaurant lol), there’s a limited menu (no French fries), but the interior bar space is newer and the patio is nice with plenty of tables. I got the smoked brat with sauerkraut and giardinara, it’s just what the doctor ordered after a hike in the dunes. The beers were great, service was friendly. The outdoor space is dog friendly Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Joe's Friendly Tavern wins the prize for price gouging at Leelanau restaurants. The least expensive item at their patio is a $16 brat, bun and mustard, with a two-ounce bag of chips. Pay way more for a burger. At least you won't feel obligated to tip: a server brings your order, but there's no additional service, and you're expected to bus your table. Granted, the cost of cooks has gone up. But $16 for a no-frills brat and a few potato chips? But there's no need to get mad. Just go Joe's competitors, especially the far more reasonable Shipwreck Cafe, or the Empire Village Inn.
