\nThe menu truly has something for everyone, complete with sandwiches, seafood, and even a few heartier plates like the meat loaf and BBQ ribs.

\nNothing is more Yooper than a pasty and Jean Kay does them best. Not only are these pasties overflowing with great meat, they\u2019ve got better crust than anywhere else in the state giving this joint the perfect one-two combo punch.
\nOne thing that makes these pasties unique when compared to other variations is the generous amount of rutabaga used in the filling. Make one stop here and it\u2019s a sure thing you\u2019ll be recommending it to all of your friends.<\/p>\n8. A New Twist On American Classics<\/h2>\n

They don\u2019t just stop at pizza either, as they also make a mean cudighi. One thing\u2019s for sure, this Marquette restaurant is here to stay.<\/p>\n12.

\nInspired by German cuisine, Steinhaus is a great place to head whether it\u2019s for a first date or a night out with friends. One of the local favorites is the Jager Schnitzel, which is a pork cutlet served with sp\u00e4tzle, red cabbage, and mushroom rahmsauce.
\nThey\u2019ve also got plenty of sausages and other German classics sure to satisfy. But don\u2019t take my word for it, swing by and try it yourself.<\/p>\n13. Feed Your Sweet Tooth<\/h2>\n

\nIf you\u2019re in the Hancock<\/a> area, make sure you don\u2019t miss 4 Suns. A seasonal restaurant that\u2019s part of Peterson\u2019s Fish Market, the kitchen at 4 Suns makes the best fish and chips in the state.
\nThe menu is simple, you either get your whitefish baked or fried, put on a sandwich or in a basket, and then pick with one of several potato sides. But take note: 4 Suns isn\u2019t open year round. It\u2019s closed in the colder months. But it\u2019s worth making plans for. And you\u2019ll crave it all winter long.
