      I was in Otonagon and asked the hotel owner for restaurant suggestions. He said that Syl's Cafe was one of the more popular places, and after looking over the menus that he had, I decided that it sounded good.

      I ordered the turkey cranberry sandwich. It was really good, and kind of an unusual combination. I loved the cranberry sauce that was on the side. I also got a breakfast pizza to go. It was also delicous -- both hot and cold! The service was also friendly, efficent and good. Syl's is a nice, small town restaurant that I'd definitely go back to if I was in the area again.

      After a long day hiking in the Porkies we stopped by Sly's. Our waitress, Kristy, was so sweet and kind and working her butt off. We needed a yummy filling meal and what's exactly what we got. I ordered the pasty and my hubby ordered the turkey sandwich because Kristy recommended it. Both were so good and we cleaned our plates.

      We had such a great experience that we decided we had to stop by for breakfast. So we came back bright and early, and Kristy was there again serving up with a smile. We both had the cinnamon French toast and it was scrumptious. We also ordered a few donuts to enjoy on our 6.5hr drive. You absolutely need to stop by Sil's when you stay in Ontonagon!!

      Cute breakfast spot in the middle of nowhere, Michigan. We stopped here on our way to Porcupine mountains
      The food was plenty and couldn't finish them all. Tried the pasties here. Definitely good food!

      I had the French toast with a side of Ham. I thought the sour dough bread had a good thickness and texture.

      The dinner also has a fresh bakery case (photo taken during dinner the night before) in which I had a blue berry Pastry which was phenomenal.

      Must stop restaurant

      Typically I review dive bars, an occasional restaurant, and now and again somewhere decent. This place was most certainly decent, if not excellent. If you're a fan of Cafes, this is your stop. The staff are fast, friendly, and so are the prices and food.

      My fiancé got the French Toast, and I got the Philly Cheesesteak, I don't know why, but neither of us were disappointed. I absolutely hate mushrooms, but ya know what, they were great in there. The French Toast was made with handmade dough and it was awesome too. Highly recommend a stop if you're in town.

      This place was super busy, we did not dine in just got carry out. Got pizza, pepperoni stuffed breadsticks and onion rings. Pizza was delicious but honestly the stuffed breadsticks was even better than the pizza. Onion rings were exactly how I liked them thin and crispy soooo good great flavor. You can tell it's a small mom and pop shop so happy we found it, service was good also.

      Passing through the area for work, I found this place on yelp. Very small town family run feel. As you can see from what I ordered, I wasn't looking for a low carb meal LOL- Food was great, service was friendly, and I got my food in a reasonable amount of time.
