Dobber's Pasties

Headed out of Escanaba on my first time through the Western Upper Peninsula, I knew I needed to grab a pasty before I left. Thankfully, Dobber's opens pretty early on a Saturday. They had just sold out of their first few batches of breakfast pasties, so I grabbed two beef pasties for me and a co-worker. They really hit the spot on a cold morning. The crust is moist on the inside but flaky on the outside (not doughy at all), and the potato, rutebaga, and beef filling was amazing. Friendly staff, great location...what's not to love? I may order some off their website one of these days. Highly recommend if you're in Escanaba.

Fantastic traditional pastie shop and pasties. Great "twisted handle" crust, homemade. Perfect blend of meat, potato and rutabaga. No carrots, as it should be for a traditional pastie. Alot like grandma's.

This was my first time trying fresh pasties! So many varieties and piping hot!! We tried the pizza, chicken, ham and cheese and beef. Each one was pretty good. The pizza and beef are my favorites! The service was ok. They were nice but I wasn’t greeted upon coming in and had to address the employees behind the counter before being noticed and we were the only ones there. the atmosphere leaves much to be desired. But they did offer a large selection of frozen pasties you can take home too! All in all I look forward to going here again, but it’s definitely a grab and go kind of place.

We had driven through the lower peninsula of Michigan, across the Mackinac Bridge, and were coming down through the Upper Peninsula of Michigan when we came across Dobber's Pasties in Escanaba, Michigan. We had stopped at a couple of other pasties restaurants, but none had vegetarian pasties. We were in luck at Dobber's because they had pasties that were totally vegetarian, and it was delicious! The service was great and the staff were friendly.

Nice local pastie place. Really good pasties with lots of baggies! Assorted varieties, minis for snacks, pizza, chicken and ham and cheese. Gravy and other sauces available, small area of yooper memorabilia. Makes for a quick lunch on the go, just like the miners did!
