Firmly a Michigan 5-star, 6/5 for UP food. Ordered a standard burger and a cowboy burger. The meat is from Scottish highland cattle. It's quite good. Most important for me is the meat was *fresh.* The bacon was well cooked on the cowboy burger. The burgers were large, smash burger style. The fries, well... they were sorta like steak fries but nearly as thin as a potato chip. Those were not 5 star. They were good. But the thin style made them cool down FAST, that or mine weren't quite fresh enough. But they were ok to serve. The ranch we ordered for the fries could be improved by not being a salad dressing ranch straight from the saladiest of ranch options. Homemade ranch please. Definitely recommend this place, will be back. Oh service was great and ambiance was that of a nice food truck with picnic tables. Soda/water/drinks came in a can from a cooler. read more

Great find while driving by. We had the Diesel Dog, The Cowboy, Onion Haystack, Belgian Fries, French Fries and Cole slaw. All were very very good. The Cole slaw was a little plain, but still good. Service was very friendly. You sit outside on picnic benches and have a beautiful view of the bay. read more

Absolutely incredible burgers. Worth the trip over the bridge just for those! Definitely shareable, which I would recommend if you don't have a place to keep any leftovers read more

The best burger I have ever had. I tried to savor it but I couldn't stop taking bites of it. And the truffle fries!!! Delicious!! The location is perfect too, walking distance from the beach. Also want to note that the staff is so friendly!! Great conversations and it's quite noticeable that they love their job and make the food with love read more

Great lunch! A little pricey -- but the food was good and the service was great too! We had two huge family orders that took a hot minute -- but everything was good. We did a few gluten free finagling and enjoyed lunch out in the sunshine on Labor Day weekend. Pulled pork was delicious! read more

I wish they'd update their hours online or at least post if they're closing early. drove in from Iron Mountain just to not see their truck anywhere in sight and for them to not answer the phone. Thank you for absolutely nothing. read more

The smash burgers are delicious and the sauces are on point! The service was friendly, cheerful and excellent!! They wanted to see our dog and even had a locally made treat for him. read more

Gateway City Garage - Friendly service - Hot Dogs Near Me - St. Ignace, Michigan

We were looking for a dog-friendly place to have a quick bite on our way back to the lower peninsula. This place did not disappoint. The owners were Michigan-nice and the classic burger was decent (order it with onions). Also liked the Mac and cheese side. Next time you are in St. Ignace, give them a try! read more

Stopped by this place for quick lunch on our way to pictured rocks. We got the cowboy and mushroom & swiss. The burgers are definitely one of the best ones I've had, delicious and juicy. If you like mushrooms then mushroom & swiss is a must have. Friendly and fast service as well. read more

My husband and I were out and about before our seasonal jobs take over for the summer- we were looking for a great dining experience when we ran into the owner. He steered us to GCG and we are so grateful. I was literally moaning with each bite of the Highlander burger! The brisket and burger themselves were out of this world and paired with bacon jam and blue cheese sauce...just perfection. The whole burger melted in your mouth. The Belgian Fries were like thin steak fries with just the right touch of truffle...so amazing. My husband loved the olive burger with its melange of olives and the tanglers were great too. The staff was so friendly and fun and overall it seems that everyone involved has a passion to do something great for the area. We were beyond impressed and trying to figure a plan to get back there again. If I lived there, I would be the best customer, read more

GCG is a food truck with a convenient location downtown across the street from the bay. The guy taking orders was very friendly and helpful. There is a large area with plenty of picnic tables to enjoy your food fresh and hot. And you will enjoy your food. Our large group tried much of the menu. The Cherry Chicken wraps were excellent. The crunchwrap burger was very good but it was wrapped up to go and the steam created took away most of the crunch. The pulled pork sandwich was awesome even if it doesn't look like it in the pic. We also had the Mac and Belgian fries. You buy bottled water for a dollar or coke products from a vending machine for a couple bucks. We appreciate a small business that provides a high quality product at a fair price. We had a great experience and look forward to coming back when we are back in St. Iggy. read more

Stopped by for a quick bite and because of the high ratings... Absolutely was not disappointed...5 stars!!!! I had the Blueberry Haystack and my son had the Classic... I would have never thought that real blueberries in a barbecue burger would work... but it absolutely did!!! We devoured our burgers and the fries were thing cut real potato wedges... perfectly seasoned... we met the Mike... the owner and talked with his staff and him... Great people who care about serving high quality food with a smile... will be back later in the week when we return to the area.... It was That Good! read more

This is the best food I've had in the area! I had The Cowboy burger and Belgian Fries. The smash burger was amazing, and the fries had the perfect amount of truffle oil and cheese. The staff is knowledgeable and service is great, our order was ready so fast! Their outdoor seating area is dog friendly too! read more

-5 stars if I wanted to be served garbage I would've eaten out of the dumpster. This place needs to be shut down immediately. Over priced hot garbage made with cheap ingredients. They should be ashamed for overcharging tourist. read more

Get ready for quick, delicious food! They have a variety of unique items, like a Blueberry Haystack burger, and you won't be disappointed. We split The Cowboy burger much to my bacon loving husbands delight. It was cooked perfectly and delicious! They use Scottish highland beef which my biased kilt approves. Parking wasn't hard to find as we went during a less busy time. There were some spots to eat but we took our food to a local park which was a short walk. I would love to see Gateway City Garage in a brick and mortar so they can be open year round! read more

FANTASTIC!!!!!! I have been in the Upper Peninsula for two weeks have had a a few strong meals. Then tried to go to Clyde's Drive-In, waited so long, looked this place up and it turned out to be the best meal I've had the entire trip. I didn't even choose what to eat, they described the crispy burger and said - you need to order this. So I did, it was fantastically put together, unique, fresh, incredibly well seasoned. I feel bad for all these people walking up and down the sidewalks who didn't know about it. They need to get their fannies over here. So fun to try uniquely designed recipes, tremendously executed and super friendly staff. read more

We all thought the food was amazing! The best food we had all trip. Even my grandpa who's on keto thought it was amazing. I would definitely recommend . Amazing people too. read more

Gateway City Garage is a new place in St. Ignace and it is a MUST STOP! With a variety of burgers, wieners and wraps, it is a delectable, delicious comfort food that puts a fresh spin on traditional favorites. The serving sizes are large and shareable! Every item we tried was truly delicious! Beef is locally sourced and very fresh, and you can tell!! The blueberry haystack burger has blueberry bbq sauces, onion petals, burger and lettuce. Absolutely amazing! The olive burger, mushroom Swiss burger, cheese burger and hot dog were all receiving high reviews. I ordered the Crunchwrap -- which is a twist on my Taco Bell fave and it's WAY BETTER THAN TBELL!! The poblano avocado sauce is creamy and has a little heat, delicious! The Belgian fries are fried in truffle oil and coated with parsley and Parmesan-- PHE-NOM-I-NAL! They're a little bit more than the usual fries. The regular fries are also delicious. The ranch is the good kind of ranch, so flavorful and fresh. Okay finally-- the onion petals. Daaaayum. A spin on onion rings! There are 10 picnic tables and benches for people to sit and eat on. There is a coke machine to buy your own beverages with a typical selection. This place is a special spot with friendly owners and cooks, HIGHLY recommend spending some time here! read more

So many choices in the area but the reviews drew us in and did not disappoint. Amazing service, fast cooked to order food and tasty! You must get the fries (normal style or Belgian both were fantastic) and the Carolina BBQ for dipping. The Crunchwrap burger is delicious and not too spicy. The cowboy burger was awesome as well and our daughter had the Cherry Chicken Wrap which for a burger place was a pleasant surprise. Very tasty as well. Highly recommend. We will be going back before we head home. read more

The staff were super friendly, and the food was amazing!! the outside sitting area has a greats view as well. I'll definitely be going back!! read more
