Settled on the 14 inch brick fire pizza with anchovies added, smoked whitefish spread and shiitake mushroom crostini. $26.77, missing 3 pizza ingredients. :( Scratched the pizza order. They are out of bell peppers, Calabrian Hot Long Chilies. Two apps only then. The whitefish and the mushroom crostinis were both quite good. 4 Stars on the apps. Disappointed in the lack of pizza ingredients, but overheard our table neighbors indicate the crust on their pizza wasn't so good, sounds like it worked out for us in the end. 1 star for not having onefo Guess it's a progressive dinner tonight. We are off to get more food.

There were a lot of families there. Now for the beer. I actually had only the brown ale. It wasn't too bad but not over the top wonderful. I would have had more to at least sample but it was fairly packed and only one TV. We wanted to watch the Tigers playoff game and from the other half of the brewery, we couldn't see the TV. Didn't try any of the food.

They are now out of Snicker's cheesecake or baked potatoes now. Ok. No appetizers on their menu. Huh. Ordered ahead an Oreo cheesecake and a 4 berry pie, since they seem to be runny out of stuff quickly. Ordered turkey Reuben melt with upgraded onion ring side, special crab stuffed whitefish, blackened. They are out of whitefish. Ended up ordering two turkey Reubens, since nothing else appealed to me. The other side is salad for my sandwich. Added one scoop of the stuffing to check it out, since it looks decent. No gravy. $58.77 They must have run out of the crab stuffed whitefish after we were seated, since it wasn't taken off of the special board while we were in line. Pay at the front. They refuse Amex cards. Not good. Good thing I had an extra card. The side salad is a mix of iceberg and mixed green. The Italian dressing is quite orange. Side salad is not special, but it gives a small balance to the heavy food to come. The rye bread is really good, can really taste the bread, nice crunch to it. The turkey meat is oven roasted dinner turkey slices, not the deli stuff. It's a good turkey Rueben. The hand dipped onion rings are good, nice and crispy. Some excess batter that neither of us wanted on our rings and picked off the excess fried batter from the rings. The stuffing is pretty good, a tad too salty, but still good. The kind I like for sure. The Oreo cheesecake wasn't too bad. The 4 berry pie was good, the berry filling was really good on its own. Decent food and really good service. I feel absolutely blah after every meal while in the UP. Tonight is no different.

It was closed at 7:30 on a Friday night in August. No hours are posted (well, they were erased off the sign on the front of the business) so who knows if they're still open. Guess I'm having fudge for dinner.

(I wanted to go to the Keyhole as my first choice but was overruled) I had the steak hoagie with onion rings, and he had the white fish dinner. Both were very good. We sat at the bar to eat and the bartender was great. The food was delivered quickly and there were lots of TVs to watch as you ate. I will be going back next time I am in Mackinaw City!

When checking in to our hotel we asked the front desk receptionist for the best place to eat…read moredinner. She said hands down, The Keyhole Bar & Grill. It did not disappoint at all. We both had fish, my wife the walleye and me the whitefish. (I had it blackened and it was a couple extra bucks though. I've never seen additional fee for blackened.) BUT nonetheless it was EXTREMELY delicious. They also had a wide variety of craft beers. It was crowded but got in after only about a 5 minute wait. (too cold for the outside seating area). We were in the back by the pool table but wasn't too bad and not too loud so we could carry on a conversation. Alicia our waitress was extremely nice and the service was extremely quick considering how busy it was. So, our front desk receptionist was absolutely correct. HANDS DOWN !

Nicest waitress. Worst whitefish ever. It was strong and slimy. They did remove it from my bill.read more

Jenny is waiting on us. She's pleasant…read more Ordered a bison burger, onion rings, crab cakes, Parmesan encrusted Cajun whitefish, sweet potato fries, added a side Caesar salad and side romaine wedge salad. $70.21 They do charge 3% to use CC here. They wouldn't let me use my Amex card. So I can't use my card of choice and they still charged me 3%z The crab cakes are crispy and quite tasty. They aren't big, but enough for a starter. My husband didn't want the Caesar he ordered and so I ended up eating the Caesar and he ate the wedge salad. The blue cheese dressing and the Caesar dressing are both good. Both salads have tomatoes and carrots. The onion rings are so-so, not so warm. Not super crunchy. The sweet potato fries are thin, but good. The whitefish Parmesan encrusted is decent, just keep an eye out for small bones and some skin left on the filet. The Parmesan encrusted seasoning is good. I let the staff know about the bones in the fish. They told us the fish come pre-boned, but they missed it. No kidding. The bison burger was good.

Food was ok not bad but not much taste. Waiter was fine but the place it self was dirty very.read more

What a terrible place to eat!…read more our group of 4 were seated upstairs, ordered drinks and food, then saw a friend downstairs. we invited him to come up and eat with us, and when he did he mentioned 4 others from our ski group (24) were on their way. So we went down to his table, a bigger table, and had a seat. The server came by and asked if we wanted to order, to which we said we already had ordered upstairs but were going to move down to dine with our friend in a larger table. We were told we couldn't do that and had to go back upstairs! I asked to talk to a manager. When the manager came out, without even asking what was going on, He told me we had to go back upstairs and could not join our group! When I questioned his remark, he looked at me and said " you can leave" So we did! We went to Audies a few blocks away..... MUCH better food, DEFINITELY better prices and in talking to a few locals, found out how BAD customer service is at DIXIE, and that NONE of the locals will eat there! Management doesn't care about customers, just get them in and get them out! 100% tourist trap, HIGH prices, TERRIBLE staff including the "MANAGER" This is definitely a place that will fail and rightfully so. When a business doesn't care about customer service and only the bottomed line $$$$$ word travels fast! Terrible experience and will NEVER go back!
