Lehto's Pasties

A Cornish pasty is a hand-held meat-and-vegetable pie developed as a lunch for workers in the ancient English tin mining region of Cornwall. A pasty is a "must try" when visiting Michigan's Upper Peninsula area and Lehto's is one of the most popular places to enjoy one. My wife and I ended up trying both the Beef (a blend of beef, potato's, onions, and rutabaga) and the Chicken (chicken, potato, onion and carrot) with a side of gravy. Both outer crusts were flaky and light while the fillings were hearty, savory , peppery, and aromatic. Letho's Pasties delivered a very satisfying dining experience.

Great meat pocket. Kind of reminded me of a Runza with a pie crust, instead of bread. Regardless, it’s good. Make sure to get the gravy as well. Outdoor seating available or take it to the beach.

We got one of each of the flavors, beef, checked and vegetable. Each one has it's advantages. The beef was hearty and the equivalent to a hamburger on how easy it is eaten. The chicken was like eating a chicken pot pie. And the veggie was the one with the most savory of flavors.

First time having a pastie and Lehto’s did not disappoint! Bobby was great with the recommendations, the beef was definitely the best one! The bread was crispy, the texture of the beef and potatoes together was perfectly smooth, and the gravy was delicious with each bite.

Friendly owner and great food! I came in right before hopping on the ferry and found the beef pasty a delicious and mess free breakfast to have on the way to Mackinac Island. The pasty reminded me of a samosa, with a flaky crusty exterior and a soft and savory filling; in other words, very tasty.
