Made With Care in Fishtown

At The Cove and Rick's Cafe, we believe the best meals start with thoughtful preparation and good ingredients. We make many of our staples in-house, serve fresh Lake Michigan whitefish, and work with local farms and producers whenever seasonal availability allows.

MADE FROM SCRATCH

Fresh-cut fries made daily. Scratch-made desserts. House-made pickles and hot sauce. Scratch-made buns and tortilla wraps. House-made ginger beer, bar sour mix, and Bloody Mary mix.

FRESH FROM THE KITCHEN

Our menus feature fresh whitefish, fresh chicken, and fresh beef, prepared with the care and straightforward flavors that fit a Northern Michigan waterfront restaurant.

LOCAL WHEN POSSIBLE

We're proud to build local farm partnerships and use seasonal ingredients from nearby growers and producers, including local cherries, strawberries, corn, asparagus, Bibb lettuce, and honey. Availability follows the seasons, but our commitment to fresh, carefully prepared food stays the same.
