THE FOOD SCENE

Boyne Mountain gives families several useful ways to eat without leaving the resort. Mountain Express Deli & Provisions is at the lift base for sandwiches, pizza and quick supplies, while the Food Court offers a range of fast meal stations. Forty Acres Tavern is the slopeside choice for a sit-down pub meal, craft beer or cocktails.

Everett’s, inside Mountain Grand Lodge and Spa, covers breakfast through dinner with a broad menu that works well for mixed-age groups. For a town outing, Red Mesa Grill in Boyne City adds Latin-inspired cooking and a tequila bar; you do not have to travel as far as Petoskey for a different dinner setting.

APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE

Forty Acres Tavern is an easy place to extend a ski day over a meal and drinks, with a slopeside setting and kids’ choices as well as craft beer and cocktails. Everett’s offers another sit-down option inside Mountain Grand Lodge, while the deli suits a quicker stop.

For an evening away from the resort, Red Mesa Grill in Boyne City offers Latin-inspired food and a lively tequila-bar setting. Choose the venue around your group’s appetite and plans, and check current service when arranging the evening.
