Come Cook With Us!

Glacia Tavern is looking for an experienced Line Cook / Prep Cook to join our kitchen team!

We're an established, locally owned restaurant in the heart of the Keweenaw Peninsula, serving everything from burgers and handcrafted sandwiches to fresh fish, house-made specialties, and more.

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys cooking, knows their way around a commercial kitchen, and takes pride in putting out great food. Someone who can stay organized during a dinner rush, communicate with their team, and recognize what needs to be done without constant direction.

What You'll Be Doing

• Working our fry and flat-top stations, with opportunities to assist in other areas of the kitchen.
• Preparing and plating menu items with attention to quality, consistency, and presentation.
• Reading tickets accurately, managing multiple orders, and coordinating timing with other cooks.
• Completing daily food prep, stocking, and proper food storage.
• Keeping workstations, equipment, and kitchen areas clean and organized.
• Completing opening and closing responsibilities and helping wherever needed during service.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience cooking in a commercial restaurant kitchen is required.
• Confidence working with commercial fryers, flat tops, and multiple food tickets.
• Good time management, attention to detail, and the ability to handle a busy dinner service.
• Reliability, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn.
• Someone who communicates well, takes direction, and works as part of a team.
• Availability for evening and weekend shifts.

Room to Grow

We're not just looking to fill a spot on the schedule. We'd love to find someone who wants to become a long-term part of Glacia Tavern.

You'll start by learning our menu and mastering the fry, flat-top, plating, and prep responsibilities. As you become confident and consistent in those areas, there will be opportunities to train on our primary grill station and take on additional cooking responsibilities.

Our quieter season is a great time to get comfortable with our kitchen, learn our recipes, and develop your skills before things pick up again.

Advancement is based on demonstrated ability, consistency, and a thorough understanding of our kitchen—not simply time on the job.
