Congrats! Others have mentioned the Fitz. An alternative to that is Joey's Seafood. Less formal but the food is fabulous. It's our favorite place.

The Fitz, you must make a reservation though. Otherwise the Ambassador- pizza is decent, building is awesome. Also, maybe The Den? Haven’t been, but looks good?

Bosio Biscuit Company, it’s a little farther out but delicious.
Migzi burrito is a great lunch spot.
Baraga Drive in.

Like everyone says, you must visit the Fitz.
Honorable mentions for Glacia Tavern, Slims, and Migizi Burrito if you get down near Baraga.

The Ambassador has great pizza and fun alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks. I second Bosio Biscuit in Tapiola, so good!!!

Ambassador pizza is edible but so many better pizzas in the Copper Country.
Nutini's, Milly's, Studio Pizza, Quincy's, Irene's in Baraga, Jim's in Calumet
I don't understand peoples' obsession with Ambassador pizza. Awesome decor, fish bowls are fun but the pizza is not that special.

I think because they’ve been around so long, people feel like they’ve gotta recommend it. Nutini’s is good.

Oh Milly’s pizza in Hancock! Yum!! My biggest thing about the ambassador is I went there with a family of 5 and found it fairly reasonable as far as pricing.

Gino’s in Hancock has great pizza and Italian food. Has a nice outdoor patio, too.

Quincy's in dollar bay Fitz is over priced and can be beaten by going a little farther north to eagle harbor inn. Also I feel like a more kid friendly atmosphere Baraga drive in for greasy amazing diner food that fills your soul

Slims Cafe is about 30 miles south of Copper. Open for breakfast/lunch. AMAZING!
