What Susan de la Plante dislikes about Explorer's Cafe:
I was looking forward to a good meal. Gyro went back to kitchen as the meat was extremely fatty, greasy and basically not edible. Manager agreed it was unusually fatty and offered to replace. Second version was still very oily. Even though Manager said Gyro meat is a fatty cut, this meat was subpar. French fries were limp. Not even close to being worth $28. View all feedback.

It's a bit hard to find, but well worth itThe roasted red pepper soup was outstanding as were the bushel of muscles in a delicious broth.

My family had dinner here, my wife had the seafood fetishist, was pretty good, I had the Argentina strip loin, was good, but I like it Chicago style, but they don't have the grill for it, my daughter didn't care for the trout, too bland. the Flatbread was overcooked and too much pesto. my son in law had the filet with the cheese sauce, quite good, would rather had the caramelized onions on the steak not in the mashed potatoes

We found this place maybe 3 4 years ago. Each summer when we go to cottage and we look for places to eat nearby in Midland. We found this gem. Their food is truly fantastic, and the atmosphere inside is unique (their patio not so much). The one advice I give is make a reservation. They are busy pretty much every day.
