Needed a place to eat and found the Broken Spoke! The place next door had an hour wait, so we…read morechecked out the Broken Spoke. The wait was about 15-20 minutes - so much better of a wait time! I like the theme and vibe of the place - the play on bikes and name of the restaurant is perfect. Decor is bike themed but not overly done. Rustic and laid back. Our waitress was excellent - very friendly and attentive. All staff were wearing masks. Good drink menu in addition to food. A lot of small plate options but the portion sizes of the small plates could feed at least 2-4 people. I went with sweet potato fries and steak tender bites - delicious! The dipping sauces for the fries had three different options - sweet/savory, loved trying each one. The sweet potato fries were not mushy and had a good crunch. The steak was cooked to perfection - I asked for medium and I got medium! Everyone seemed happy with their food. Restrooms were downstairs. Nice dining option in the city - only con there was no outdoor seating. Picking up on social media - looks like this place used to be Huron St. Pub & Grill not sure if it was a re-branding or new owners. Either way, I hope Broken Spoke is here to stay on the island!

If you like a sweet adult beverage, you'll love it here - give the bananas foster martini a go or their classic espresso martini. You can't miss with the rum runner as well.

Of course, you can't miss the gift shop with everything pink and sparkly you could dream of. **If you're coming during boat race week, be warned that all drinks here will be served in plastic.

Stopped in while exploring the Island. LOVED the ceiling!…read more I opted for the fish and chips which comes with a side of Cole slaw (vinegar based). I traveled to Scotland and London, and this fish and chips beat out what I had while there. I am not a huge fan of steak fries, but these lived up to my expectations and had enough crisp on some to make up for the softness I associate with this type of fry. The Cole slaw was enough to be a meal in itself. But the fish, were the star of my plate and the tartar sauce...I need this recipe or a bottle of the sauce. My travel mate opted for the Ruben sandwich. I tasted the corned beef, had a great flavor to it. There were no complaints from our table. She also got a coffee to go, asked for cream...came out with the cutest little cream pitcher. The cup is also biodegradable, which is great since it would end up in a recycle bin along the way. Great staff, clean, nice restrooms (two sets), and plenty of space to have a group come in for a sit down meal.

It's very "pubbish" and comfortable. Great vibe. If you go to the island, I highly recommend this place. The prices were actually less than I thought they would be...a big order of fries was five bucks. Beer on tap was eight bucks. After, go to Kilwins for a cone and sit on a hotel porch.

It's a lounge and tavern! Those words, and kids, do not usually go together. But looking at the food menu, it's pretty appealing to all ages, so I'm sure kids are not turned away. I didn't get any food when I visited Mustang Lounge, just drinks. I almost never get a cocktail because they're usually too sweet, but I got some sort of citrus and honey cocktail, the name of which escapes me. It was really good! We also got a beer, and the beer was served in a cold, frosty glass. They have a lot of beer options here. Mustang Lounge is quiet and intimate -- a nice place to get a drink and relax for a while.

The patty was juicy, the bun was soft and fluffy, and somehow she still managed to have room for dessert. Kids are magical like that. My husband and I both ordered the pan-fried whitefish because, come on... you're on Mackinac Island. You have to. The fish was fresh, flaky, and perfectly cooked with a light, crispy crust that let the flavor of the whitefish shine. Exactly what we were hoping for. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that feels like the perfect place to recharge before heading back out to explore the island. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. If you're visiting Mackinac, don't overthink it. Order the whitefish, steal a fry from whoever you're eating with (it's vacation, calories are on island time), and enjoy a great meal.

We also ordered the whitefish dip to share, which was one of the best whitefish dips I've had. It wasn't super smoky, so it might be more palatable to people who haven't had it before.
