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.

Tried this restaurant again and again I was disappointed…read more There were 4 people in there at lunch and somehow it still took a long time. Fries are extra and then they were soggy. The kids pizza had no sauce on the pizza so it was pretty gross. The restaurant needs a good cleaning and update. I know there is only a few restaurants around Brimley but maybe one of them should try to have some fresh food and maybe something on the healthier side.

And they keep the skin on to fry it which is not how I would do it. Everything was over cooked, which is unfortunate because the whitefish was what was recommended on reviews. Cheese burger looked under cooked but had a layer of burnt on it(maybe dirty grill?). Would normally have tried again but not sure at this point. Like I said staff was very nice food was an issue...:(

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!

I have concerns about this place. It did not feel the same as the last time we went a couple years…read moreago. They are closed on Saturdays because they can't find help. In my opinion it felt like it was one step away from closing. I did not feel the same positivity in the restaurant, it just felt flat. I got the rancher skillet which had 4 eggs which I got over easy. The sausage gravy was runny and the eggs were pretty runny which made for an unappealing dish. Not sure if I would give this place another shot, but prices were reasonable. Hopefully they find help and get back some positive momentum.
