Friendly Foodees started as a spark—an idea that refused to stay quiet. Born from our hardcore punk rock roots and backed by over a decade of gourmet food experience, we set out to create something different. Something loud. Something alive.
We looked around Northern Michigan and saw a sea of quiet, quaint cafés & restaurants, most echoing the same Great Lakes aesthetic. But where was the place for the artists, the outsiders, the youth, and the die-hard food lovers? Where was the spot that pulsed with energy, grit, and creativity—while still serving up incredible food?
With rising health concerns and food allergies often treated as an afterthought in the industry, Friendly Foodees became our rebellious answer. Every dish we serve is crafted with intention—bold flavors, allergen-friendly ingredients, and plant-based options that don’t compromise on taste.
We’re here to break the mold, shake up the food scene, and prove that inclusivity and attitude go hand in hand. Welcome to Friendly Foodees—where the music’s as loud as the food, and everyone’s invited to the table.
