Siren beer and classic fish.

Lot of poor reviews on this place and I don't get why. Beautiful lighthouse off the patio, TVs everywhere, the fish was amazing. 4 stars because the service was slow but as long as you're not in a rush, great vibes. Will be back

Lobster Mac & Cheese

The lobster Mac & cheese is delicious! And there are great gifts in the gift shop on the way out

Thin slice of turkey with cold cheese.  The bacon taken from the cold fridge still has white grease on it no attempt to warm up.

Wife, I and family have been coming to the Mackinac Grill for 26 years. We did multiple stops with our kids, in-laws through out those 26 years and we always enjoyed the salad bar located in the train but the salad bar is no longer now it's a souvenir shop. The special is what I ordered on this stop it was a turkey bacon croissant for $13.95. The turkey was from a store bought package it was one very thin piece it didn't even fill the croissant, the cold Swiss cheese was thicker than the one slice of turkey and the bacon was one slice broke into two pieces pulled from the cold fridge and put on the croissant, the bacon had cold white grease on it. Horrible, I'd think the cook would be embarrassed to send something out of the kitchen to be served like this but that wasn't the case today. I did send back they did replace but it was just ok, at least it was warm the second go around. Wife order a whitefish hoagie for $18.95 it was one small slice of fish on each bun no cheese, no coleslaw an absolutely horrible display of what their so called whitefish hoagie is. Although we will miss Ronnie who is a server and a staple at the Grille wife and I have decided there are too many other places to eat at in St. Ignace so that will definitely be our last time visiting the Mackinac Grille.

Grilled cheese

Service was good at this restaurant but all of the food was very greasy. It's hard to screw up a grilled cheese but all the ingredients seemed low quality. It is still very busy due to the location but I would avoid it if you can.

Warm mackinaw breeze

We went here on a Sunday evening and were happy to see all the cars in the lot. Unfortunately it must have been because they were one of the few restaurants open. Smoked whitefish dip (out). Deep fried dill pickles for an appetizer were average. Deep fried white fish were overcooked with the smallest baked potato ever. Lobster was still frozen in the Mac and cheese. Mackinaw breeze drinks were warm. "Caribbean slow" service. The best things were the garlic bread and the view from the patio. I was able to finish most of the fish. We tried warming up the lobster Mac later in the microwave. That was unsuccessful and in the trash it went. I definitely would find another place for dinner or even drinks.

Great food. Good service. Reasonable prices. Nice atmosphere, including waterfront dining. My dining partner and I both had the whitefish chowder. I had the grilled shrimp with butter and garlic, steak fries, and coleslaw. My dining partner had a beef pastie with gravy that was a huge portion. She took care of it to go and had it the next day.

The food was good. The wait was kind of long and they seemed understaffed but they did a good job.

Very slow service. Found hairs in two different meals. Some of the food was decent, some was inedible. I would definitely steer clear.

As we are in the UP, we were told we must try a pastie and this place had decent reviews and was…read moreright up the road. First impressions, they definitely have some heft to them! The outside baked crust is crisp and tasty. My husband's beef pastie was filled with beef, similar to other posters pictures and he really enjoyed his. Everything was hot too I have a tough time eating beef so opted for the chicken option and while my sandwich was tasty, it was truly 95% potato, a tiny bit of carrots and just very, very little chicken. Maybe I got the bottom of the bowl or something, but it definitely needed more protein. He did have a veggie option available today as well. This place is super popular spot and the sandwiches are $8.50 each, we ordered a gravy, as per other Yelp recommendations and we shared that. It was an additional two dollars. He gives you a lot gravy!! Parking is very limited out front, but we found people were in and out pretty quick. There are a couple picnic tables where you can sit and eat but honestly, he really just doesn't have the room for that so get it to go. The owner seems super friendly, and I love the fact that so many people are supporting his business. Another UP box checked!

I tried their chicken $8.50 pasty yesterday. Cousin tried same price beef one. I LOVE the filling,…read morewhich has thinly sliced rutabagas, but the ratio is off... there was like 87% root and hardly any protein. But compositely, the Vite, the heft, the peppery flavor, it's very satisfying for me. No nonsense store. Across from Shepler's ferry!

Authentic Jamaican Flavor in St. Ignace!…read more We were so pleasantly surprised to find Jamaican food in St. Ignace with the addition of Kingston Kitchen at the Inn--and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Nick was our server and he was both attentive and genuinely friendly. Even though he was clearly busy, he still made us feel right at home. He offered some excellent cocktail recommendations--my wife especially enjoyed the Old Fashioned, which isn't even usually her go-to! We also tried the Ting with a Sting and the house punch--both were tropical, flavorful, and fun. Do yourself a favor and order the cocktail flight--such a great way to sample several unique drinks. For dinner, we had the jerk chicken and ribs, and both were seasoned perfectly. The rice and beans were especially delicious, and they serve this amazing "fruit ketchup" with the fries that totally surprised us--sweet, tangy, and addictive. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. If you sit in the window section, you even get a partial view of the water. Delicious food, great drinks, and a super friendly staff--thanks for a great night, Kingston Kitchen!

First of all, service is the 5 stars, Fantastic!! Love the location, you can literally see the…read morewater front sit by the window. Im not an expert on Jamaican cuisine, so I'll keep it short for the food experience. We got Chicken Curry / Risotto with Jerk Chicken and Coconut shrimp. Curry has lots of Turmeric flavor just so you know, you have to like turmeric spice. Nice little new place !!
