Toonie's has been feeding Bellaire from breakfast through last call since 1992 — hand-cut steaks, Great Lakes fish, and the biggest pancakes you've ever seen.
The First Table
Toonie's opened on North Bridge Street in Bellaire in 1992 — a northern Michigan town where things are done right and nobody's in a hurry. It felt like it belonged the moment it landed.
Made From Scratch, Every Day
Nothing here comes out of a bag — corned beef hash is homemade, hash browns cut fresh, desserts change daily. 9&10 News called it "a beacon of hope in Bellaire."
Steaks, Fish, and Everything Between
Hand-cut steaks like the Bourbon Street — smothered in peppers and brown sauce — and fresh Great Lakes whitefish straight from Charlevoix. Friday fish fry draws regulars from across the region.
The Angry Mountain Mindset
The menu names will tell you something about this place: the Angry Mountain, the Smothered Bull, the Holy Cow, Martoonies. Toonie's doesn't take itself too seriously — it just takes the food seriously, which is a pretty good combination.
Ranked #1, Still Going Strong
Named #1 in the Best of the Charlevoix & Chain of Lakes Region 2023, and one of Michigan's best small-town steakhouses by Only in Your State. Breakfast starts early — there's a table here for everyone.
