Big Dex's Restaurant at Leelanau Sands Casino

Family/American · Traverse City, MI

Big Dex's sits right inside Leelanau Sands Casino, but don't let that fool you - this is serious comfort food territory. Their kitchen turns out everything from hearty breakfast plates to satisfying dinner fare that hits the spot after a day exploring the Leelanau Peninsula. The bar program impressed me with local craft beers on tap and cocktails made with actual care. Weekend brunch draws crowds from Traverse City and beyond, so definitely call ahead for reservations. Perfect spot when you want good food without the fuss, plus they handle large groups like pros.
