"Selection and Service Intertwined"- Bravo 10/10 A+…read more I am a camper who travels up to Port Austin, MI every summer, and I have ALWAYS shopped at Mayes IGA, I am greatly pleased with the market and feel it deserves much praise: "Mayes IGA Foodliner is an excellent example of what a supermarket should be. You walk in the door...your eyes suddenly focus on the variety of products available: not too overwhelming but an excellent selection of just what you need! The meats are fresh, produce clean, and dry goods ready for sale. Also, a variety of gadgets meet your eyes, great for campers (like me). Then...a smiling face greets you...makes you feel like your welcome, even if they know your "not from around here". They are knowledgeable and understand how to help you best. So you have it: Selection and Service in one- Intertwined! Shopping at this IGA actually has become a part of my camping trip that I look forward to, and that's not easy to say- looking forward to grocery shopping. I am truly pleased with this IGA and would HIGHLY recommend it to any customer- living OR VISITING Port Austin, MI. I give it an A + 10/10 Rating.

Frank's is one of the better ones, and they seemed to have everything you could possibly need if you're camping at Sleeper State Park. Because we packed lightly, we ran out some supplies and came here for convenience. Most of their common merchandise is reasonably priced, and they have a large beer selection. I needed more beer, and their 25-ounce Budweiser cans are priced right at $1.79, but the cases of beer were overpriced ($8.29 for a regular six-pack of Budweiser cans). They have some souvenirs too, and I got a pretty high quality Sleeper State Park coffee mug for only $5.

And everything about this place was so super cute! They carry a wide variety of coffee cups, t-shirts, jewelry, knick-knacks, decor, cards, of course coffee and so much more. I left feeling incredibly satisfied and definitely will be returning. On my way out I made sure to pick up some of their homemade Hummus, I HIGHLY recommend you get some too! Local businesses should support and carry this on their menu's!

After a three hour kayak trip to Turnip Rock, we were desperate for some ice cream to refuel. We…read moreheard about the large scoops of homemade ice cream at Grindstone General Store and headed over immediately. When we arrived, we saw a huge line out the door, with cars parked all along the road down probably around a quarter mile. That seemed promising! As you enter building, you snake through some of the eclectic goods the store sells - things like custom made chess sets, cute cartoon character and fish shaped soaps, etc. It looks like all of the good being sold are local or at least from Michigan. You'll have plenty of time to browse, since it takes almost 30 minutes from setting foot in the shop to actually reaching the front of the line. It's actually overall pretty well organized. There are two doors on the exterior of the store, but they removed the outside handle on one of the doors so it can only be used as an exit. The shop mainly serves Stroh's ice cream, but they have a tub or two of Guernsey Dairy, and a freezer of ten home made flavors. Of course, we had to get the homemade ice cream only. Please note that the owner can be kind of gruff - before you get to the counter, make sure to know exactly what cone, size, and flavors you want. I don't think they offer any samples. Two Scoops in a Cup ($4.25 first scoop, $2.25 second) - They certainly aren't lying about having giant scoops of ice cream! They actually have a display up showing that a scoop is softball sized with a 14oz volume. That's basically like a pint by itself. We decided to get two flavors in a cup: Horchata and Black Raspberry Bugaboo. The horchata is rich, creamy and filled with vanilla and cinnamon. The ice cream is premium (but I wouldn't say it's super premium) with generally low overrun and higher butterfat, giving a delicious creamy mouthfeel. The sweetness is perfect for ice cream - it's sweet but not achingly so. There are a small amount of ice crystals that formed around some of the cinnamon, but it was only a very small amount and not detrimental enough for me to drop my score. (5/5) The Black Raspberry Bugaboo tastes very artificial. It takes the flavor of raspberry and amps it up to 300% so that it's very sweet with a heavy artificial tart flavor. It's studded with chocolate cups that are filled with maraschino cherry type of flavor as well, and mixed with ribbons of Hershey's chocolate fudge. Not my favorite flavor of ice cream (I was expecting this to be natural raspberry), but I can see it appealing to some. (3/5) There's a choice of sugar cone, waffle cone ($1.25 up charge), or plastic cup. We opted for the cup for two reasons: the sugar cone doesn't look like it can contain the amount of ice cream they serve, and it looks like they get their waffle cones premade from Jagger Cone. The waffle cones come with a paper holder with a flare around to catch any ice cream drips. If you want to enjoy their homemade ice cream at home, they do sell prepacked quarts in a freezer. I wish there was an option for smaller scoops; while I managed to finish two scoops with my partner, I saw many others whose eyes were bigger than their stomachs and ended up having to throw out most of their ice cream. In fact, we saw large piles of ice cream sitting in the nearby trash can. What a waste of food. Bathrooms - Single porta potty outside Overall rating of the food this visit: 4/5

My future mother in law simply took a sip at the front register (before paying) then the cashier said something like you have to pay to drink that. Which makes since but he said it in a very mean way and my in law thought that he was joking at first then he continued to be mean throughout the transaction with about 6 standing there and then on the way out my in law says have a nice night and says you could be a little bit nicer to your customers then he continued to say exactly this "get the hell out of my store" repeatedly swearing us out. He said in front of many minors in our group. Then continued to stare at us walking down the street like he was watching tv. Another guy that works there is a W he kinda looks like a lumberjack but very nice and the guy that makes the food there in the back is great no doubt. But I do not recommend coming here for anything other than the food in the back.

Yeah...like Pepsi or Coke but instead nightcrawlers...crazy....see the pic. Beer galore, snacks, little trinkets for the kids, and hats and such that'll do in a pinch if you need some shade while you're on the water. What I loved about this place was the couple that runs it and the great subs they turn out there (I didn't try the pizza but I'm sure it's great). My Ham and Cheese was pretty ordinary looking but the bun, meat and cheese were all really tasty and fresh. I have it on good authority that the Greek Goddess sandwich was pretty killer with feta, olives and stacked meat, and the Italian sub looked great too. It's behind the marina so walking over from the slip is convenient to stock up and carry back. A great little outpost!
