This Crystal Falls Café Is a Small-Town Gem With Homemade Everything
There is a small building on a quiet street in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula that does not look like much from the outside. You might drive past it without a second glance, mistaking it for a private home. But the moment you catch a whiff of slow-smoked meat drifting through the air, your feet will stop moving and your stomach will start making decisions for you. That smell is not an accident.

ISHPEMING, Mich. (WJMN/WBUP) — A historic Upper Peninsula taproom is set to reopen at The Mather, a nearly century-old landmark in Ishpeming. "I cant hold it any longer!!!!! WE HAVE PASSED ALL INSPECTIONS!!!" wrote the owners in a social media post on March 19. Built in 1931 by Cleveland Cliffs heir William Mather, the institution thrived for decades until business waned, with its doors inevitably shuttering in 1987.
