Given the large distance between destinations and the lack of any mass transit, traveling by car is likely the best option. Cars can be rented at the Airport south of Calumet.

Tamarac Inn, Copper Harbor, Keweenaw, Michigan

The service was so bad we didn’t even get the chance to try the food.

It was the 4th of July. My wife and I had been hiking the Keweenaw all day, and we were hungry. We drove into Copper Harbor, and stopped at the Tamarac Inn. We were greeted by a macabre assortment of poorly stuff animals used as decoration. We stopped at the sign that said “Please wait to be seated.” As we stood there, we observed several open tables, three servers who never made eye contact with us, and a man running the cash register. The man, seemed to be in charged, he was cashing out seven people, and indulging in idle chitchat with each.

The portly man behind the register was ungroomed, physically greasy, with filthy fingernails. I will refer to this man as Bubba hereon. I wondered what the cook staff was like. Really, who and what is touching the food in the back if this is the frontend service? Already repulsed, yet we continue to wait, and wait.

At least six minutes had gone by, standing at the wait sign. The persons paying were cleared out, and Bubba began walking away—totally ignoring us. I spoke up and asked “May we sit down?” Bubba replied “Are you in a hurry?” My wife said “Only to eat.” Bubba replied “Look, you’ve only been standing here like two minutes” at which point I cut him off saying “I’ve heard enough, I don’t wanna eat here.”

A synopsis of the Tamarac Inn of Copper Harbor, Michigan: Greasy, ungroomed, filthy staff who has no clue what customer service is.

We left the Tamarac Inn and went to the Pines Restaurant. We were immediately seated, given drinks and menus, the staff was efficient, clean, friendly, the food was served promptly, and was quite good for Copper Harbor. There is another really good restaurant in Copper Harbor, MI. Don’t eat at the Tamarac Inn. If the Tamarac cannot offer clean, competent, and good service, they don’t disserve customers.
