    Deck seating.

    Our visit started with a less than friendly greeting from the hostess. Fortunately, it improved from there. Our server was great. The food was good. We had chips and salsa, a Reuben and a burger. Had a decent beer selection. The views are awesome.

    Casual bar type atmosphere with amazing fried whitefish. Delicious! And of course fried pickles. Wait staff friendly and food comes out efficiently. Nice low key and casual vibe.

    Amazing food with a gorgeous view. The fried pickles are definitely a must. And the Taco salad was big enough that I ended up taking half home.

    I really wanted to like this place, but was quickly disappointed. We ordered pizza for the kids and it looked like it came out of the microwave (the way the cheese was and the texture of the crust). I ordered a chicken ceasar wrap and it came out with just chicken and lettuce. Neither of those tasted good and I kept hunting inside the wrap for the missing ingredients. I'm talking a zero-effort, bare minimum attempt here. This was some of the worst food I've had in my life, I'd rate it in the bottom 2 places I've visited (even lower than the place in Germany that gave me food poisoning). So, how did it get 2 stars instead of 1? The whole pickle theme is pretty fun and there are pickle hats that they gave us for the kids. We also sat next to an aquarium and that settled down the kids very quickly while entertaining them almost the entire time. The environment is pretty interesting and the beer I had was good, so I think this place would be fun to visit for a few drinks and to relax on the deck. The food was just so bad that none of this mattered. It's been a few weeks now and I still wish that would have just went hungry instead of stopping in here.

    Outside dining may have swayed me with an extra star, some of the outside dining is not under shade although is a good spot if traveling with a dog. Outside dining is first come first serve for those tables. Not quick to refill drinks or beers. Appetizer of white fish was beautiful, with only 60% edible due to clumps of excessive breading. The tarter sauce was not tasty. The house salad ranch dressing was very thin and slipped off my semi fresh iceberg lettuce. View awesome. Burgers, pass. French fries, pass ...always pass on those.

    A bit overpriced but a lovely spot in the UP when options can tend to be a bit limited.

    Burger was great, service prompt. Sat on the deck and it was wonderful. Recommend when you're in the area.

    We've been here a few times. Staff is friendly, food is always great and you can't beat the view. Excellent burgers by the way.

    (We kind of had a theme going) when you are on the shore of Lake Superior, whitefish is the thing to have.

    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.
