So delicious! All three kids had the chicken, two with chicken gravy. I had the veggie with beef gravy and my husband had the traditional with beef gravy! We all tried each others as well. All were delicious and my son said they hit the spot after our 6.5 mile hike and 2 hour boat tour! After the boat tour, back to Muldoons to get their apple pastie and flavor of the day, blueberry pastie! Would highly recommend! read more

Pasty is something we have heard of and had several variations where it's turned up. No ties being what we'd grab from the pub, and of course the Midwest hand pies. But this is the truly authentic one - beef, potatoes, carrots, and rhubarb. Thick brown gravy (it completes the pasty - don't skip on it). Coleslaw was tangy, that balance between creamy and vinegary. It's worth checking out - expect a nice, warm, hearty meal! read more

Had to try these since they're such a local staple. We ordered a chicken, cherry, apple, and veggie pasty. Overall, they just tasted like something was missing. Lots of potatoes, not much meat, and the savory ones felt a bit bland. The dessert pasties were definitely the highlight , those were tasty. But overall, the pasties just weren't for me. read more

Chicken pasty was very good, filling and well made. I think I liked it a little more than the other pasty place in town. The service was helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is gift shop that sells fudge and sit outside on the picnic tables, so not much.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A couple of healthy drink options would be an improvement. I had a can of ginger ale. Good to go option if you're out and about. read more

Grabbed a chicken and an apple pastie. $13.75. However, they do charge 4% to use CC. $14.32 Our pasties looked anemic and not the golden color I saw on some of the pastie pics. The chicken pastie was packed with a lot of potato and some ground chicken in between. Should be called a potato pastie. It was quite dry. The bottom of the pastie is super thick and quite dense. I gutted my out. It's dry and has zero flavor. Should have gotten some hot sauce, would be better with sriracha even. The apple pasty tasted like an apple pie. Has good flavor. Bottom of the pastie once again is dense and heavy. The tops are flat and boring. Flaky would make it better. But then again pasties are supposed to be filling and hardy, not flavorful or delectable, or? read more

When in the UP, try a pasty. I had the chicken with gravy and coleslaw, the full meal deal. It was very good, a lot to eat. I also tried the traditional, which is beef flavor and I thought had a bit more flavor. They are like pot pies you can hold in your hand. read more

When heading to the Upper Peninsula we had heard a lot of hype about the pasties, so we figured we had to try some! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant/shop itself is very small and cute! A small little gift shop inside with a counter to order your food. There are multiple tables outside to sit and eat your pasties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pasties were pre made and kept warm in an oven/heater and we received them immediately after ordering. Very friendly and fast service! Unfortunately the pasties did not live up to the hype for us. The insides were a mixture of the chosen meat with carrots and diced potatoes, but it was extremely dry and flavorless. The outside pastry was also very bland and very dry. We had some hot sauce which helps to make it a little less dry, but even the flavor of the hot sauce wasn't enough to help it. The one saving grace was the apple pie pasty! That was at-least packed with nice warm apple pie filling although the outer pastry was just as dry as the meat pasties. Perhaps we got a bad batch, or maybe this is how they are supposed to taste, but unfortunately I don't see the hype of the pasties! read more

I remember getting a pastie as a child, taking one bite and not eating the rest. I thought it was bland. Either my taste buds have changed dramatically, these pasties are more flavorful, the beef gravy I got with these brought it to a whole other level, or a combination of those factors, but their traditional pastie with beef gravy is phenomenal. (I think the gravy makes a world of difference, so I'd never order it without again.) The strawberry cheesecake dessert pastie was also wonderful! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop contains several made in MI goodies for purchase, and seating is outside at picnic tables (some covered and others not).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would undoubtedly visit Muldoon's regularly if I lived near here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. read more

It was our first time trying pasties. We went with the beef and were very happy with our choice. I definitely recommend stopping here.

Man I hate to write a bad review about a small business that for the most part has done nothing wrong. This review is more about the item itself than anything they did per se. As I was preparing to take my trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, I was told that I had to try a Pasty (pronounced Past-ee). When I drove over the Mackinac Bridge I saw no less than 20 signs for pasties in my 2 hour drive to Munising. When I got to Munising 4 different people recommended Muldoon's as the place to eat one of these pasties. A pasty is a puff pastry kind of a combination of a pot pie and a sandwich filled with ground beef, rutabaga, potatoes, carrots, and onions. They serve you a side of dark brown gravy on the side. This was the dryest, most flavorless item I have ever eaten. There's no seasoning unless you add the gravy and then I don't know if that added any flavor, just made it less dry. I just don't understand the appeal. Maybe I am spoiled because I am from New Orleans and everything has flavor. I was expecting this to be like an empanada or a meat pie but it's just like eating cardboard. Again for those who like them, I'm sure Muldoon's does a fine job. The people were very nice. I looked up other places and they all looked the same so my issue is the item itself. Maybe I should move up here for the summer and add some Tony Chachere's, cayenne pepper. or some sort of sauce to make these better. I feel the entirety of the U.P. needs this! Don't listen to me if you are in the Yoopers give them a try and then tell me I'm wrong. read more

These were pretty good, we had the traditional. After trying these and Miner's, I gotta say Miner's are better, so I'd recommend their pasties! I like their flavor and the pastry is better. The carrot cake was really good also and tasted homemade. I'm pretty sure the apple pastie at Muldoon's was canned apple pie filling. read more

I was blown away by how good these were. I have been buying pasties over 50 years in the UP from another restaurant but we were in Munising and my granddaughter wanted a pastie so we stopped here. My mother was born in the UP and made her own and people would buy them from her all the time so I think I know a good pastie. read more

We stopped to get a pass-tee treat, sort of disappointed. It was sort of dry, had pretty good flavor but more potatoes than anything. read more

Awesome pasties with a great crust! The side of gravy was 1/2 cup and very tasty. We had the fudge also, and it was delicious.

Stopped in for pastie snack, and try some fudge, typical pastie, didn't stand out but lots of filling, nice size. Added a very small gravy $1 thought that was a little much for the size. They were out of fudge so couldn't try that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute shop, couple of outside sittings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Traveling thru probably wont stop in again, try someplace else, lots of pasty shops around. read more

Let's start with what a pasty is......a pasty is a handheld meat and veggie pie filled with meat and root vegetables  These are specialties in Michigan's Upper Peninsula  and if you are in Munising you must stop and try Muldoons Muldoon's is touted as the "best," and I'd agree. The dough was flaky and crispy, yet still moist. Generous size and stuffed full of meat and veggies. You order inside to go, and you have an option to eat at one of several picnic tables outside. Pasty flavors: beef, chicken, or veggies, and they offer an apple pie filled too for dessert My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value Visited on 9/14 read more

Yes yes yes yes! The last time we were in the area we stopped at a pastie shop in Marquette and were sorely disappointed. We were so hopeful about Muldoon's when we saw the signs touting them as #1 pasties in the U.P., and we were NOT disappointed. First off, this place knows how to churn out hot, delicious pasties in fast order. We ordered and paid and had pasties in hand in less than 1 minute--being a shop that specializes in so few things means you can keep cranking your best selling items through the lunch rush! Husband and I both ordered beef pasties. For those of you not familiar with pasties--think of a walking pot pie. Muldoon's makes a homemade crust that is flakey around the ridges, and soft and pliable in the center--delicious! They stuff the beef pasties with ground beef, onions, potatoes, carrots, and rutabaga. If you get the combo (special?) you also get coleslaw, beef gravy, and a pop included. If you don't want all of that, at the very least I suggest you be sure to pay for the side of beef gravy, as it's DELICIOUS and enhances the pastie-eating experience. Worth noting that Muldoon's also makes chicken pasties and a vegetable (vegetarian NOT vegan) pasties too. We went to the location closest to Riptide Rd., but noticed that they also had another location in the more downtowny area of Munising too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]You order indoors, but there is only seating on their porch or patio tables in the yard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can take food to go, and can even order frozen pasties. The only thing I hated is that we didn't buy a dessert pastie for later in the day. We were just too stuffed to think about anything else. CANNOT wait to go back next time we're in Munising. read more

Grabbed a chicken pasty from Muldoon's during my vacation to the UP. Dunked mine in a thick and delicious chicken gravy (because that's 100x better than ketchup...) So good and satisfying and filling and comforting. The shop is cute and very small. There is a gift shop and a counter to buy pasties. They also sell wild rice, which I bought a bag of. Super excited to make it! Highly recommend a stop at Muldoon's Pasties if you are ever in the area. read more

4 years later & still solidly the best pasty in MI Prices have gone up ($7+ now) but quality remains (as proven by the line out the door) Line moves very quickly- they've been doing this a long time *if there's wild rice for sale (3#=$21), pick that up- they're harvesting it right here read more

Just west of town is Muldoon's Pasties. If your looking for authentic, this is it! We loved their options... Beef, Chicken, or Veggie Pastie. Make it a meal with white or brown gravy, slaw and a drink! And dessert pasties to boot! They had apple and cherry when we visited. They offer outside seating and a chance to get your picture taken with Sasquatch! Nice little spot to eat a Pastie after the 2+ hour Pictured Rocks tour. read more

Listen, I get it, this place has 200+ reviews. I'm just putting a hat on a hat here. What I'm really here for, is to say: pasty's should only be topped with ketchup, salt, & pepper. Gravy is for knuckle dragging mouth breathers. Ignore that. Go buy a dozen pasty's from these nice people. read more

I have been looking forward to trying pasties that I've heard so much about. A specialty hand pie filled with meat and potatoes with an option to smother with beef gravy or eat with ketchup. We stopped in at Muldoon's pasties on our trip to UP. The filling was hearty and flavorful but I didn't particularly enjoy the crust. I expected it to more flaky but it was very dense and dry. It was a bit in the pricey side too at close to $9 for one. It definitely needed the gravy to add extra moisture and flavor cause without it it was a bit lacking in flavor. read more

Absolutely hands down #1 pasty in Michigan PERIOD ...... and yes with gravy it's even better. Coleslaw was stupid good. Let me say I'm the most experienced critical native Finnish successful restaurant owner reviewer listed here and I've never ever had a better pasty. In fact let me even blow them up more some of the best food to hit my taste buds in a long time. To the no gravy Boy ..... ketchup is a dusguise and you don't need salt or pepper when they are cooked properly. Must try I bought 3 in less then 18 hours read more

Before heading up north I've read and watched reviews of this iconic pasty of Munising and it did not disappoint. The crust was not too thick and the beef and veggie mixture inside was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Definitely recommend the gravy, added extra flavor to the already flavorful pasty. Also tried the apple pie pasty which was amazing. read more

Muldoon's Pasties - Traditional pasty with beef gravy - Desserts Near Me - Munising, Michigan

I was traveling to the UP on my way to see some picture rocks. I'm from downstate Michigan. This was considered the original pasty of the UP. So of course I had to try it. It was super fresh and delicious and felt like it was just made which I believe they do make them daily. I got the beef although they did have chicken as an option. Ask lady how do Yoopers eat it and she said with ketchup. So I tried it that way. She did offer me gravy which I think would make it more like a pot pie which is probably more to my liking. Although I do like ketchup on my potatoes. It was good but definitely needed to s&p I think I would have liked it better with gravy. But it was fresh and the crust was flaky but just needed some butter. I would definitely eat it again though. Definitely stop here. There's a covered pavilion with a couple places to sit otherwise there's a small gift shop and a counter only inside. read more

Best pasties. Best fudge. Go here. (trying to reach character limit: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)

We were not really impressed with the pasties. None enough meat and too many potatoes.

Came here two years ago for what were supposedly the best pasties in the world, they were not lying. We're here again just for the pasties.

Pretty good. Wife got the beef and I got chicken. Mine was a little on the blah side. Service was friendly and the gravy was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun to sit in the sun and talk to other people.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Yes, I'd eat here again. read more

When in Rome always try to get pasties. Muldoon's offers beef, chicken, vegetable and desert pasties. I also appreciate that they serve them hot, cold or frozen. We purchased a frozen beef and chicken and had a hot apple for the road. I always have beef gravy with the pasties otherwise they can be a little dry. All of them were excellent and very filling. Muldoon's did have a line but that is alway a good sign of a quality business. Small lot and street parking. Pricy gift shop. Outdoor seating. I definitely would return. read more

Loved this place! Awesome customer service, seems very family owned. Nice outdoor seating area. We got the meal deal with the traditional pasty - it was great! Definitely preferred the traditional over the chicken. Be sure to add the gravy, it definitely changes the flavor. The chicken pasty was pretty decent as well, but less flavorful. For dessert we asked for recs, and went with the apple pasty which was amazing! Apples were crispy and the pastry portion perfectly complements it. read more

We stopped here based on the advertising sign being number one in the UP. The service was friendly. The lobby was nicely decorated with the selection of gifts, stickers patches, etc. we chose one beef and one chicken having never really experienced this food before. I guess it's better with gravy, but we opted for dry. It probably would've been better with the gravy if you can handle the calories. Anyway, it was delicious was huge. Could only eat half of it at a time.. read more
