We happened upon the newly opened space, as it was one of few places open in the off season…we’re so glad we did! The entire menu was refreshing - so many fresh and unique options. We got strawberry and root beer milkshakes, broccoli wings, quinoa Phoenix burger, and the Mr. Darcy salad.
We waited about 30 min from the time we ordered to eating, which was perfect as we got to walk around town, and then enjoy our milkshakes (AMAZING) while playing games set out on each table (so thoughtful and a preferable atmosphere to patrons with their head in the phones). Every other item
we ordered was FANTASTIC with huge portions (I didn’t even get to touch the salad, but am excited to eat it tomorrow!) Broccoli wings are a must-try and the quinoa burger is the best veggie patty (housemade, too!) that my husband has ever tasted.
If you’re in the area, go support this business!

This place was surprisingly good! My boyfriend was skeptical at first because of the ‘gravel floor’ as he said- but the food was amazing and so fresh and we both enjoyed! Juicy chicken, ripe blackberries and a deep fried goat cheese that I had never had before but I’ll remember forever! I was so happy to see bubble tea on the menu, too and pasties! Really a northern Michigan gem and the staff really care about their food and building community.

Around The Corner is certainly the gem of North Port! Absolutely wonderful food and service. The pasties are tasty and the fried potatoes are some of the best we've ever had! To top it all off, the coffee and peanut butter shakes smooth and delicious! All around wonderful experience!

Not worth the wait (1 hour)
The Burger Mac Pastie did taste OK. Also, my husband, got the Sloppy Joe Pastie, tasted OK also. We each got a pastie order thinking it would be only 1 pastie but 3 came with the order. Each order comes with potatoes. Everyone’s potatoes were too well done.
We ordered the Pig Taters. Again the potatoes too done. Cheese sauce tasted jarred. But pulled pork tasted OK.
We were with other people who ordered Vegan burger. $16 but you get a warmed up frozen vegan burger patty. He returned his order and received a refund.
Overall we would not recommend this food truck.
We finally made the trip from Traverse to Northport specifically to eat here! Everything was amazing! I have never seen a piece of fish so big on a fillet-o-fish sandwich! My husband loved the caprese frenchee! The milkshakes were beautiful and delicious. Finally, the poutine with veggie gravy was everything I'd hoped for. As pescatarians we really appreciate all of the veggie options! It is hard to find vegetarian comfort food out there and you nailed it! We will be back!

So they are renovating their place and have set up a "food truck" so they can keep serving which is very cool. It's especially cool because they were 1 of only 2 places open in town.
The portions are HUGE, I was expecting normal food truck portions and ended up over ordering.
Added pictures of the poutine and the fish fillet sandwich, look at the size of that fillet, it is an inch thick and at least 3"x3" !!! Their sauce for it is a homemade sauce and perfection.
Give them your money and patience, it's well worth it.
Went back the following day because 1. Food is great 2. Options for a place to eat are very limited on a Tuesday, as in they are the only place open after 5:00.
Anyhow, turns out the applesauce is the recipe of one of the lady's grandmother and they make it, as well as almost everything else 5hwt be, from scratch. It was incredible, wish I would have gotten 2.
I never thought about putting strawberries in my broccoli salad, but they did and it totally works in place of the raisins. Only down side was that they were a bit mushy, which felt odd compared to everything else being so firm.
Anyhow if you made it this far, give them a try. The food really is very good, even with it being a bit of a wait.

Hands down some of the best service and food truck food I've ever had. The only place open for food and they knocked it out of the park! You're doing yourself a disfavor if you don't go at least once. Nearly everything is homemade, and it shows.
