Apache Trout Grill was created by Mike Connors in 1994 out of a passion for the Northern Michigan Outdoors and his love of the fresh fish he caught fly fishing. Located on the water, with a stunning view of Grand Traverse Bay, the Apache Trout Grill is one of the best restaurants in Traverse City. Our signature dishes include hand-cut choice steaks, fresh seafood, and more…which are always prepared with the most fresh and local ingredients available.
