Our server Lisa was so warm and friendly (as if she was your mother) and took great care of us! Got the parmesan topped whitefish with creamy mushroom soup and coleslaw. The mushroom soup was creamy and hearty. I liked the coleslaw - just the right amount of sweet and sour for me. I enjoyed the fish very much. We would have gotten some desserts but we were so full. We did see that the cheesecake slices were huge! Would definitely recommend this place!

To place a carry out order, you must come inside and sit down at a table, then tell your server that you want to place a to go order. Lisa was helpful, told me the order would be out pretty quickly, and she brought me a glass of water for while I waited. I ordered the mackinaw burger with onion rings, and hot ham and cheese with fries. I also ordered a coconut cream pie and a Dutch cherry pie slice. All of this was to go, and she packed it up and brought me carry-bags for it. The coconut cream pie was good. The Dutch cherry was ok but, I have had better. The French fries were good--crispy and lightly seasoned. The onion rings were large and hot/fresh, but they are battered (I prefer breaded), and they are pretty greasy. The burger was nice sized and cooked well done, which I like. It came with cheese, lots of pickles, relish, lots of mustard, and just a little ketchup. The hot ham and cheese was okay. I chose white bread rather than rye or wheat. The bread was not special--seemed like white bread you'd buy at any grocery in a plastic wrapper. There's an up-charge for the onion rings. I say skip that and get the fries. For the 2 sandwiches, 1 with fries, one with onion rings, and 2 pieces of pie, my bill was $51.36 before any tip added on. I get that it's a short season up north here, so I expect everything to be a little pricey. If the burger had a bit of char and came on an upscale bun, if the hot ham and cheese came on a thicker toasted bread, I'd say ok. But for what we got, it was overpriced.

The moment you walk in, you get that warm "local crowd where everyone knows everyone" kind of atmosphere, and our server was absolutely sweet and attentive.

The fries were also good. For dessert, we tried the deep-fried cookie dough.. It was okay, just a bit too tough on the bite for my liking. Overall, it's a fantastic local gem with a great relaxed vibe, friendly service, and fresh food. Definitely worth checking out!

I got the pasty with brown gravy, and it was ginormous! Eating it took me back to childhood...my mom's pasties were almost just like this (hers were a little heavier on the rutabaga, so they were always soggy). It came with a side of coleslaw, so that makes it healthy, right?! Very reasonably-priced meal, especially considering the remote location. Hope we get a chance to come back someday.

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.

Everything was clean, well organized, and overall impressive. The service was quick once we entered and grabbed our seat. My girlfriend had a Bone-in buffalo basket. I got the Zuess Gyro with fries which had beef tips inside rather than lamb. Our food came out reasonably quick - less than 10 minutes. It is worth mentioning that the fries came in at an extra $3.95 which I thought to be steep for French fries. When my food had arrived, it did not have the fries I ordered, so I let the waitress know who was very nice and not only took off the extra charge from the fries but also got me an order of the fries. The gyro was delicious, but as a fan of gyros, I'm not sure I'd get it again. There were a lot of bites with the pita, sauce, and veggies rather than the meat. Additionally, any bite I had with meat in it was a mouthful and had trouble chewing at times (due to the size of the beef tips). The pretzel poppers were phenomenal, especially with that spicy ranch. They were almost like fried cheese curds but with pretzel as the breading. My girlfriend said her wings were good and couldn't finish them all. Overall, the price, service, and food are exceptional and I will confidently say that this is one of the best places to eat in the area and I will be coming back again to try some of their other options.
