I believe we came in behind the church crowd, as they were quite busy still for breakfast. **A side note** They DO NOT accept any kind of plastic, it's all cash only, so be sure to carry some. I almost ended up washing dishes until the wife surprised me with her "Goodwill/Salvation Army stash" she still had with her!

My husband and I both had the fish, which was fresh, pan-fried to perfection, and wonderfully flaky. The bun had a delicious garlic-bread flavor, and the fries were crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. The owner, Desi, personally served us and was attentive and welcoming throughout our meal. The restaurant itself is as memorable as the food, with an eclectic nautical décor and interesting things to see everywhere you look. It's the kind of friendly, unpretentious place that makes a stop in a small waterfront town special. If you're in DeTour, don't miss Mainsail--you'll be glad you stopped!

"Why didn't you call" and "no you can't move tables" and "I have another church group coming". My gf and I could hear orders put in from other tables and he would make some pretty rude comments. He was also snappy with just about everyone there. The food was mediocre. Additionally when we finished our food we sat there for 15 minutes waiting for him to handle our bill. The mainsail also charged us $1 for water. Are we living in California? I can't remember the last time I was charged for water at a restaurant! I've asked a lot of my local friends what they think about this place and they all agree that this place sucks! The attitude is terrible and it's no wonder this place is shutting down!

The harvest bowl was the best breakfast I'd had anywhere in a long time. Very tasty. I also got a few lattes that were tasty as well but a little pricy. I'll definitely be coming back to this hidden gem in cheboygan.

Well apparently they have changed hands and things were different this year. The service was still great, same ambiance, however they have drastically cut back on the salad bar selections, no hard boiled eggs, no cakes, no puddings (the tapioca use to be great! - now gone). No more home fried potatoes. The wings were just okay as were the ribs, the chicken tenders were very large and tough. Root beer was good but no free refills. While the place seemed to have gotten a well deserved cleaning the mediocre food will simply result in our not returning in the future. I would encourage you to give it a try, maybe I'm just stuck in the past but the items mentioned above kept us coming back each year.

There was a wait and the food took a bit too, but it was still doable. I loved all the options and the sandwiches are a good size! They come with a bag of chips, but you can upgrade to get a drink and additional side (I picked the coleslaw). I think I would have just been fine with the chips, honestly. The coleslaw was good, but not anything amazing. I thought my sandwich was pretty good, and I appreciate the dips and sauces they serve with it. The chicken on my sandwich was a bit dry, but the sauce helped a lot. I got to try a different sandwich from my friend and it was good too, but also a bit dry (oddly!). I'd definitely come back here again and I think this spot is a great option. The area is so congested, expensive, and busy, so I appreciated that this was different!
