    Stopped while we were on a short getaway. Service was great the locals were welcoming. Burger was hand made not a frozen Pattie. Beer by the pitcher was a bonus too. Three large tv's to watch the games. My wife and I had a blast! Highly recommend!

    Our take out pizza in our little cabin in the woods. Excellent Hawaiian pizza!

    Clyde's place has a great up north local feel. Every time we are in the area we get their pizza, which is similar to pan style pizza and it's by far our favorite pizza in the area. They get so busy in the summer however that sometimes they don't take to go orders. Thats ok though, because then you can go in, have a cold draft beer, and play some tunes on the juke box or play pool. It really has a great vibe inside.

    A tiny cheese pizza for $13. Even charged me an extra $1.50 for cheese on my cheese pizza. No sauce, no shame. Clyde, you suck!

    Food was pathetic and pricey. Next time I'll make the kids a bologna sandwich and save myself $20 on the world's smallest "large" cheese pizza.

    Good bar food at a decent price. When I pass through the area, I'll be sure to stop back in.

    Clyde's Place rules. We were super pleased with our time here when visiting Carp Lake. Clyde's is a must when hanging around the area.

    Clydes is the epitome of what a local dive bar should be. Small, clean, great personalities, good food, and cold beer with solid drinks.

    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 !

    The Key Bar is a hidden gem and one of the last places in Mackinaw City that still holds onto that…read moretrue "Up North" charm. It's the kind of spot you go to while waiting for the boat--but it's more than just a time-killer. The food is good, the service is friendly and efficient, and the whole place has a laid-back, down-home feel that's hard to come by these days. No frills, no fuss--just a relaxed atmosphere and a reliable place to grab a bite or a drink. It may not be flashy, and I don't have pictures to show off, but The Key Bar is the kind of spot that doesn't need them. If you're in town, do yourself a favor and stop in. It's the real Mackinaw City experience.

    I brought my mother here for Mother's Day, and I'm really glad I did. Our waiter was very friendly…read moreand greeted us with a smile every time he came to the table. He even wished my mom a happy Mother's Day before taking our order, which was a nice touch. We started with the Street Corn Nachos as an appetizer, then ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich, both with fries on the side (an additional $4 each). This was an excellent place to bring my mom since she's vegetarian, and the restaurant had plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. The food was excellent, especially the nachos -- the queso was amazing. The restaurant also gives you a lot of customization options, like swapping chips for fries for an extra $4 or adding protein to the nachos for an additional charge. That said, while the nachos were really good, they were still $18 without any protein, which honestly felt overpriced for chips, cheese, and vegetables. We came during lunch service, and overall the food, service, and view made for a great experience. However, it is definitely on the expensive side. Most entrees seemed to range from around $20-30. Still, if you're willing to spend a little more for quality food, generous portions, and a great atmosphere, it's definitely worth visiting.

    Coming to Northern Michigan out of season there are not a lot of options for dining; therefore…read moreDixie Saloon it was. The waitress was great, a little 'flighty' but she was friendly and was a great help with menu options. Most of their burgers were 1/4 or 1/2 pound and that is a bit much for me and I opted for a kids burger with cheese (burger was overcooked) and no bun, fries and a cookie & the other burger was just their jalapeño burger with bacon (burger was good) and fries all for $50.80. A bit pricey with one of the meals being a kids meal. The ambiance was different as there were dollar bills all over the walls and writing all over the walls. Made a once nice looking wood lodge look trashy. Had live entertainment which was great! Will definitely look at other dining options at the next visit during the regular season.

    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!
