My son got the chicken fingers and the fries were really good! The chicken was just ok. There were some gross pieces that we had to eat around. I also got a side of Mac and cheese. It was pretty small and just luke warm. We were. Little bit disappointed in the food and had higher hopes. It wasn't terrible but just wasn't amazing either.

Settled on the 14 inch brick fire pizza with anchovies added, smoked whitefish spread and shiitake mushroom crostini. $26.77, missing 3 pizza ingredients. :( Scratched the pizza order. They are out of bell peppers, Calabrian Hot Long Chilies. Two apps only then. The whitefish and the mushroom crostinis were both quite good. 4 Stars on the apps. Disappointed in the lack of pizza ingredients, but overheard our table neighbors indicate the crust on their pizza wasn't so good, sounds like it worked out for us in the end. 1 star for not having onefo Guess it's a progressive dinner tonight. We are off to get more food.

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.

I loved the location of this restaurant, which was right in the heart of Mackinaw Crossings…read moreshopping center so as we sat right outside the restaurant enjoying our dinner, we were also entertained by great live music. Eating food in this shopping center kinda made me feel I was at an amusement park or something, so that was pretty interesting. But the foods from this restaurant were definitely better than those you'd get from theme parks. The burger was pretty legit and $8 for it at a touristy location was quite reasonable. We also got 2 sides: Fried cheese curds & Deep fried avocado slices. The cheese curds were outstanding, amazing, delicious, stretchy etc etc etc. The avocado slices had a really flavorful breading, almost cajun-y, it was quite different; it was delicious but I didn't expect that. Overall it was a delicious but heavy dinner - no surprise there with all the fried items - but we knew it was gonna be like that when we ordered it. I was happy with it :)

Grabbed dinner last night at Audie's…read more We are close enough to Canada when Poutine was offered we opted for it as the starter. It arrived without the customary cheese curds, but the gravy was right. The cheese was cheesy, which is important. Overall, a good dish and one I would eat again. We opted to share the Canadian Perch platter with a baked potato. For $2.00 extra dollars (for a shared plate) we were each given our own potato. The fish was crispy, flavorful, and filling. The tartar sauce...chef's kiss. The right amount of tang, and it was homemade. Was tempting to just drink the rest of it. Staff were all friendly and the atmosphere was casual. If you happen to be in the area, stop in and visit. They have a wide variety of sandwiches and fish platters to choose from.

We arrived in Mackinaw City in July 2026 and had just gotten into town when we decided to find…read moresomewhere to grab a bite to eat. After looking around, we decided to give Dixie Tavern a try. The setup is pretty interesting, with seating available both downstairs and upstairs. We ended up sitting upstairs, but unfortunately, we waited about 30 minutes before anyone came over to take our order. Our group ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich, American Burger, and Western Burger, all of which came with a side of chips. The food was okay, but honestly, it wasn't anything to write home about. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but the long wait for service and average food made it difficult to stand out. There are probably other places in Mackinaw City I'd try before returning here.
