The Boyne River Inn has been a beloved place since 1893. Visitors can enjoy a wonderful meal at BRI.
We were greeted as soon as we walked in. The Midwestern hospitality was on full display.
We sat outside overlooking the river. It was a beautiful view. Plus is was a great day to be outside; the temperature was fantastic.
We started with the Stuffed Dates. These were a unique appetizer that are not normally on menus. They baked Medjool dates that were stuffed with goat cheese. Then they were wrapped in bacon and covered with a balsamic glaze.
There was a wonderful blend of sweet, tart, and salty. The date was creamy and sweet. The tartness came from the goat cheese. The bacon added the saltiness, with a little crunch.
They have a giant Woodfire oven inside the restaurant.
Naturally, we had to try the Meat Pizza. This included ham, pepperoni, bacon, and Italian sausage. They gave a generous portion of all the meat. The dough was sweet and had a nice crunch from being cooked in the oven.
The BRI Burger was a classic cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, and onion. It was cooked to a perfect medium, and the American cheese was melted all over the patty. It was very juicy and the seasoning was great. The burger also came with a side of French fries.
The Fish Sandwich was huge. It was almost too big to be a sandwich. The beer battered, fresh cod was deep-fried until crispy. There was lettuce, tomato, and tartar sauce on the bun, but the fish tasted so good on its own that the condiments were not necessary.
A visit to Boyne City would not be complete unless you visited BRI for something to eat.
Enjoy!
