Carmelitas

Carmelita’s in Calumet is easily a hidden gem I’m glad I stopped at, and honestly, it gave me one of the best burgers I’ve had—definitely top 10 material. The burger was perfectly juicy with a good char on the outside, and the toppings were fresh, adding to the overall quality that you don’t always get with burgers on the road. We chose to eat outside, which made the experience even better since it was a beautiful day, and the outdoor area was clean and comfortable. One thing that stood out was how nice the server was; she made us feel welcome and even came out to give our dogs some treats, which made it clear they’re genuinely dog-friendly. Small gestures like that always make a place memorable. The service was quick without feeling rushed, and you could tell the staff enjoyed being there

Will definitely be back! Service by Stephanie was amazing. The other server who greeted us was kind and showed excitement. The thimbleberry margarita was worth the hype. But the thimbleberry old fashioned is incredible! The fries 10/10. Queso and guac 10/10. But the pepper jack cheese sticks 40/10. Best cheese sticks I’ve ever had. All around an amazing place. Great atmosphere! Would highly recommend paying them a visit!

Not much open on a Sunday before labor day in Calumet. Men's room was in need of service. Ladies room had no soap at all. Interior ambiance had a cool vibe blending the cantina type experience with local deer mount trophies and mineral specimens including float copper. House casa dia was very good. Wet chicken, cheese and bean burrito was ok ish. Served with a side of refried beans and Spanish rice, the conflict with the massive overload of black beans inside the burrito was a tiny bit "off". Portion size was too big for lunch anyway. Server was very helpful with local suggestions for things to see

It was ok. Steaks were good so I'm told by the other members of my party. My steak Fajitas were a bit tough and cut a bit large and the peppers were a little too slimy. Chicken sandwich was good.

Beautiful bar snd dining area, well located in Calumet. Tried various menu items and all were 4-5 star quality. Maybe I’m being picky saying this — food could benefit by a little more Mexican spice. Portions were generous, tasty and fresh. Margaritas excellent. Service was stellar.
