I was born and raised right here in Houghton County. I’ve been away from the UP most of my adult life, traveling the world with the U.S. Army, but every time I make it back home, there’s one place that’s always on my list — Ambassador Restaurant. No matter the trip, The Ambassador is a must-stop for me. Over the years, I’ve met up with family here — sometimes it’s just a few of us, sometimes a big group, and sometimes it’s just me grabbing a bite solo. Either way, I always make a point to stop in and enjoy the food. The atmosphere is a huge part of what makes this place special. The décor, layout, and overall ambience are something you really have to experience — it genuinely feels like stepping back in time. The building itself dates back to the early 1900s and even served as a speakea

Truly, Epic pizza. I’m not the biggest pizza fan, but I can’t wait to stop here whenever we pass through. It’s unbelievable. Highly recommend the garlic chicken pizza or the tostada pizza. If you’re feeling adventurous, get both and take leftovers home. Even the simple garlic toast appetizer will blow you away. The housemaid ranch dressing is well worth the up charge.

Their pizza 🍕 is THE BEST Ive had in a very long while. The thin crust along with the high quality red sauce is like a bite of heaven! And to add, the pizza was not at all greasy like pies served at other places Ive eaten.

This is a very good restaurant. It has some very good vibes along with the interior being a work of art. Very reasonably priced, too. I am gluten free and I love their GF pesto pizza. My son loves their Italian sodas. Great atmosphere, great town. If it weren't for the 6 months of winter up here I'd move up here because I love the town (and Hancock), the food, the people (despite the Finnish dialect 🤪). If you are reading this post you should come here and eat.

Service was not great, might have been new server? Unsure. Pizza was good. The Italian sausage Sammie was really good. Pizza Garlic chicken - bit bland Greek - flavor bomb, kid loved it Pepperoni - fabulous. Really, really good. Crust is really good. Pizza sauce made in house and you can tell. Ordered the meatballs for appetizer, sauce is outstanding, meatballs ok. Would go again but took forever to get food. Wasn't busy and really slow.
