I've been going to the Ambassador since I was a kid and it's one of my favorite things about the Houghton/Hancock Area. The pizza is especially delicious and I love `Mr. Rohrbeck's` paintings. If you like hi-class pizzeria quality pizza in a casual setting, this place is for you.

I don't care where I live or where I eat, the Amabassador Restaurant in Houghton, MI will always be my favorite. I'm grown up eating the wonderful food cooked here. My favorites are the pizza (they don't make pizza this good anywhere else on the planet!) and the french dip sandwiches. YUM! A great, causal dining experience at reasonable prices for family and friends alike!

It's well worth the drive to the UP just to eat at the Ambassador. This is absolutely the best restaurant in the Midwest.

I just went here seeing the college and went out for dinner. They had great food, yes there were free refills, and there was great service from some cute college girls. My friends got some sandwiches and I had a pizza. It was all great and the prices were just fine. I'll be going there again next time I'm up in Houghton.

I have been going to the Ambassador my entire life (26 years now) and everything is always delicious and consistent, which is more than most places in the area can say. The pizza, subs, salads, homemade dressings, spaghetti, ravioli, garlic bread, and even burritos are fantastic.I've lived away from Houghton for 8 years now and I still have cravings and have even had their pizza shipped to me! Every time I go home, that's the first place I go when I get off the plane...before even going to my parents' house! I go back with two large pizzas everytime I head back to NYC. My life would be incomplete without a cheese and pepperoni well done pizza and a pirate's cove fishbowl!

A lot of people hype up this restaurant up here and personally I have not been impressed. I have been here at least 10 times. The only thing that I haven't eaten here that I can say is good is the pizza. Just the specialty pizza too. The subs are pretty weak, the price's are quite high, and you don't even get free refills on your soda. Also the service is quite poor every time I have been there. For example my friend bought a round of Jaegar bombs one time and because they didn't want to dirty the shot glasses he put them in plastic cups even though my friend dropped $30 on the spot. Also Bacon is a pizza topping but they would not put in on the potato skins, instead they put sausage on them. There are many other restaurants in the area I suggest for the price.

Everyone who visits the Keweenaw has to try the Ambassador at least once. Great pizza, subs, pastas, and salads. Reasonably priced and a great atmosphere overlooking the water. You can smell great food from a block away from this place.

Great pizza
by Gail C
Pizza and pasta. The pasta sauce is especially good. Just know that the pasta portions are a bit small though. Also be sure to check out the locally brewed beers on tap. Overall good restaurant
by Rob Juckett

BLT Pizza is Amazing!!
by Mikey R.
Serving up great food since 1965; this restored a great old brewery in downtown into a renewed restaurant. Check out the murals on the walls! The food you can't go wrong with; and the ambiance rocks!

Ask for extra hot sauce. It doesn't matter on what.
by Mark D.
There might be other items on the menu than the tostada pizza, but it doesn't matter.
