Let’s Eat in Manistee County

March 14, 2026

Manistee County is hosting its first-ever Restaurant Week March 15-21. More than a dozen local restaurants are participating—including some just over the border in Benzie! Here are a few of the eateries at a glance: Blue Fish Kitchen & Bar, the Blue Slipper, Bungalow Inn, Fricano’s, the Golden Stag, Iron Fish Distillery, MT Plate Diner, The Outsider, the Ramsdell Inn, Taco ’Bout It, Wander In, and more. Special prix-fix menus range from $15 to $45 with offerings throughout the week. (For example, Blue Fish has a Sunday brunch menu and not one but TWO weekday menus to explore—so you might need to go more than once!) Some spots will also offer fun activities, like regular trivia nights at Fricano’s (Monday) or The Outsider (Thursday). For the full line-up and all the restaurant week menus, head to manisteechamber.com/manistee-county-restaurant-week.
