Petoskeys

"If you’re a Packers or Bears fan, you’ll appreciate the food at Petoskey’s. This Fremont spot has a loosely Midwestern-themed menu, which means dishes like breaded cheese curds, thin grid-cut pizzas topped with provel cheese from St. Louis, skyline chili, and caesar salads topped with deli meat. (That last one's actually great.) Keep in mind, though, that the games blasted on each behind-the-bar television are all Seattle, all the time—unless they’re playing a Midwestern team, of course." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente

"It’s Friday night in Fremont, and after scrolling through your phone instead of emptying the very full, very clean dishwasher, you finally made plans to meet up with friends in 15 minutes for dinner. That doesn’t give you a ton of options, but you can count on Petoskey’s for a good time, good Midwestern bar food like tater tot nachos and St. Louis-style pizzas, and a good chance you’ll be able to sit and get your first round of beers within minutes." - aimee rizzo

"Eating a pizza topped with mac and cheese sounds like a recipe for a bad bellyache in the first place. Add 80-degree summer heat, which makes the fragile PNW feel like a sticky sauna, and it’s just a very great way to end up on a sofa an hour later with ice packs on your stomach. But the pies at Petoskey’s are thin, crispy, and light - even with cheesy noodles in the mix. Come here to eat Midwestern bar food like fried cheese curds and tater tot nachos on the lowkey deck, and be thankful that our version of humidity isn’t also Midwestern." - Aimee Rizzo

"There are a lot of classy restaurants in this city. But sometimes, Monday afternoon hits you like a brick to the face and the only cure is food you would usually eat at 2am on your bedroom floor, like tater tot nachos and mac and cheese pizza. Petoskey’s understands. It’s a pizzeria and bar that somehow makes tots drenched in queso and a thin pizza topped with cheesy macaroni feel tasteful. Grab your friends for a last-minute group dinner to make a Monday hit you more like a bucket of cotton balls. photo credit: Chona Kasinger" - Aimee Rizzo
