A meal at The Jolly Plate restaurant is a delight! It offers a balance between traditional cuisine and fresh, healthy choices. Consider it a step above your usual family-run restaurant.
Owner Kim Babcock has cultivated a menu that is well rounded and scrumptious. Additionally, she strives to serve “real food” including butter, not margarine. Enjoy organic coffee sourced from Higher Grounds Coffee in Traverse City. Good, old-fashioned lard (not some fake petroleum product) is on the griddle to fry your eggs. Kim’s vision is to keep expanding on locally grown and crafted foods and ingredients. There are even plans for a “Jolly Garden” out back to provide super-fresh herbs and veggies.
All the traditional breakfast items are served at The Jolly Plate, including omelettes, breakfast sandwiches, hotcakes, corned beef hash & eggs and much more. Lunchtime you can choose a burger, Jolly Club, Cuban Pork, Reuben, soups, salads, fish, and steak. The Jolly Plate even has a gluten-free Healthy Power Bowl. Cap your meal with a slice of pecan pie or carrot cake and you’ll be good to go! There’s even a menu for the little ones.
Stop in soon for breakfast or lunch. Have a seat under the “Giving Tree,” a tree painted on the wall where you can purchase a “leaf” that will benefit a local charity or cause. Converse with one of the friendly, and well, Jolly waitstaff, and ask them to recommend their favorite dish. Bon apetit!
