"We came as a walk-in on a sunday evening and had to wait about 10 minutes for an inside table. We waited at the bar and decided to get a cider flight. They have a large selection of rotating draft ciders and we got to try 4 different ones. All of them were really delicious, the el chavo cider that was flavored with habanero peppers was my favorite one. They each had unique flavor profiles and they seem to have a wide range of ciders for different preferences. After we were seated, we ordered our dinner. I got the Taproot grilled cheese for my main, as I love a fruity grilled cheese. The bacon was crispy, and the house french bread has a good bite but still is soft to melt with the other ingredients. The apricot jam and apples were a nice contrast to what I believe was gouda cheese. The house made chips that came with it had such a good crunch to them. My partner got the Caesar salad and as lovers of Caesar dressing, this one passes the test. It was a large salad and the dressing was plentiful. (didn't get a picture) The service was pretty good and our waitress was able to help us navigate the allergens we had at the table. Overall Taproot was a good experience and when i am in Traverse city again, I would come back!"

"Had a good time here. I got a burger and my wife got the pot pie. Burger was really good, ate it in like 2 minutes. The pot pie was good also but be warned it is really hot so it takes a minute to cool down. I also tried the the smackintosh cider, it was really smooth and easy to drink. Really cool place."

"We stumbled upon a hidden gem in downtown Traverse City an great spot with a cozy, welcoming vibe. We chose seats at the bar and were immediately impressed by the excellent service that was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. We decided to share everything, starting with the Caesar salad topped with smoked trout. It was outstanding. fresh, perfectly balanced, and topped with crushed potato chips that gave each bite a salty, crunchy surprise. Combined with the smoky richness of the trout, it was unforgettable. Easily one of the best Caesar salads I’ve ever had. Next, we split a BBQ chicken pizza, which came out hot, crisp, and absolutely delicious. The flavors worked perfectly together and left us planning our next visit before we even finished. Next time I’m back in Traverse City, this will be my only dining stop. Highly recommend for anyone who loves great food, casual vibes, and excellent service"

"I love ciders and local foods. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the restaurant staff was very friendly. I ordered the Yogi Bowl and a cider definitely coming back again! It’s also very close to the Park Place Hotel."

"Fantastic meal for our party of 9! We were seated almost right away. Their ciders were spectacular, especially the ginger-cherry flavor. The Yogi bowl with chicken was excellent! Great, helpful server also!"
