About us
I'm Andre Bushell, and along with my wife Kelci, we're thrilled to welcome you to Bushell's Kitchen + Cocktails. Our passion for hospitality and soul food inspired us to bring these comforting flavors to downtown Traverse City. As a Black-owned business, we believe in making a difference by promoting diversity and inclusivity in our community. We're dedicated to creating a space where everyone feels at home, and we hope to inspire other minority entrepreneurs in the area.
For us, family is everything, and that extends to our business. We treat our employees and patrons with the same warmth and care that we share at home. Our menu is thoughtfully crafted, with house-made dishes and locally sourced ingredients that reflect the passion of soul food and creativity. We're committed to supporting local producers and fostering a nurturing, inclusive work environment. At Bushell's Kitchen + Cocktails, you'll find not just great food, but a place where community and family values come together.
