There is almost always a wait to get seated so get there early to get your reservation in. They will text you when your table is ready. Today, I had the Apple, Brie, and Walnut Flatbread and Boneless Chicken Wings with Mild Buffalo sauce. I typically order a salad with the flatbread but trying to be cautious right now with the lettuce issues. I rave about this flatbread - it has never disappointed. The taste is so good combined with the honey drizzle on top. The Wings were good - fried perfectly - and the Buffalo sauce complemented them nicely. We will be back on our next trip to the island!

Stopped in while exploring the Island. LOVED the ceiling!…read more I opted for the fish and chips which comes with a side of Cole slaw (vinegar based). I traveled to Scotland and London, and this fish and chips beat out what I had while there. I am not a huge fan of steak fries, but these lived up to my expectations and had enough crisp on some to make up for the softness I associate with this type of fry. The Cole slaw was enough to be a meal in itself. But the fish, were the star of my plate and the tartar sauce...I need this recipe or a bottle of the sauce. My travel mate opted for the Ruben sandwich. I tasted the corned beef, had a great flavor to it. There were no complaints from our table. She also got a coffee to go, asked for cream...came out with the cutest little cream pitcher. The cup is also biodegradable, which is great since it would end up in a recycle bin along the way. Great staff, clean, nice restrooms (two sets), and plenty of space to have a group come in for a sit down meal.

Ordered wings and an order of chips (fries). Both were excellent! Bartender offered us more blue cheese dressing without us asking. Small thing, but nice touch; her service was excellent. It's very "pubbish" and comfortable. Great vibe. If you go to the island, I highly recommend this place. The prices were actually less than I thought they would be...a big order of fries was five bucks. Beer on tap was eight bucks. After, go to Kilwins for a cone and sit on a hotel porch.

It's a lounge and tavern! Those words, and kids, do not usually go together. But looking at the food menu, it's pretty appealing to all ages, so I'm sure kids are not turned away. I didn't get any food when I visited Mustang Lounge, just drinks. I almost never get a cocktail because they're usually too sweet, but I got some sort of citrus and honey cocktail, the name of which escapes me. It was really good! We also got a beer, and the beer was served in a cold, frosty glass. They have a lot of beer options here. Mustang Lounge is quiet and intimate -- a nice place to get a drink and relax for a while.

It's been awhile since we've experienced some food like this, shout out to our tour guide for the recommendation because yall we stuffed our face with goodness. We ordered the white fish and the steak to share. We added the 2nd filet of fish and it was a great mistake because it was so delicious, a mistake because it was SO MUCH FOOD. It was crusted in pistachio and served with Parmesan whipped mashed potatoes- oh my goodness so good. The steak - oh my gawd the steak. So tender so juicy so perfectly cooked and seasoned we were having eyes rolling moments more often than one should have while eating a steak. Unbelievable. Slow clap. And don't even get me started on their in house Crème brûlée - typically not my favorite dessert but oh man this was perfect.

The patty was juicy, the bun was soft and fluffy, and somehow she still managed to have room for dessert. Kids are magical like that. My husband and I both ordered the pan-fried whitefish because, come on... you're on Mackinac Island. You have to. The fish was fresh, flaky, and perfectly cooked with a light, crispy crust that let the flavor of the whitefish shine. Exactly what we were hoping for. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that feels like the perfect place to recharge before heading back out to explore the island. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. If you're visiting Mackinac, don't overthink it. Order the whitefish, steal a fry from whoever you're eating with (it's vacation, calories are on island time), and enjoy a great meal.

Our entire table devoured the whipped goat cheese with pepper jam and the fried green beans, however, there were mixed reviews on the beef pastie. All in all we really enjoyed our meal here; it was the perfect casual stop for us on our trip.

Just a couple short flight of stairs until you're in the cupola with great views. The space is airy and bright, and service was on point. Drinks are Grand Hotel priced ($20+) but worth it for the experience and views. I got the Somewhere in Thyme cocktail, because I had to. It was refreshing but not very strong. We also ordered the whitefish dip to share, which was one of the best whitefish dips I've had. It wasn't super smoky, so it might be more palatable to people who haven't had it before. I loved the addition of the giardiniera. Overall a very lovely experience. Do I need to go back, no, but I'm glad we got to check it out.
