    We had dinner here because beer and a bbq sounded great. I tried their homemade IPA which was very good. They had a good selection to choose from. For dinner I had the pulled pork sandwich. It came topped with slaw. I upgraded to tots, per the recommendation of the waiter. Good choice. Tots were so crispy and good. Pulled pork was good as well. Some nice crispy pieces. It was a huge sandwich. Husband had the Mac and cheese with pulled pork on top. Tons to eat. The place had lots of TVs. We asked to turn on one to one of the baseball playoff games which they did. Our server was great. Gave us good suggestions.

    A solid summer salad
    Mike H.

    Brewery #272 Really more of restaurant that brews beer than an actual brewery but that's splitting hairs. Pops and I came in and had dinner. I got a cup of the chili and a Summer Salad. The chili had brisket, ground beef and bison in it and while good was a little on the sweet side. This was odd to me but not in a bad way. The salad was made with oranges, strawberries, feta and walnuts. Quite refreshing. Rusted Spoke has about 20 beers on tap of which only 5 are their own and the rest were guest beers. I got a flight that consisted of 3 of their beers: Insurrection Ale (wheat beer), DEI Hire (Pale Ale) and Space Filler (American IPA) and I got a Tangerine Haze from Big Lake Brewing. All of them pretty good but nothing wowed me. The service was solid, the outdoor patio are was nice and everything was solid. In a touristy type town, that's a good thing.

    Dry hamburger
    Tammy D.

    The service was good. The food is just okay. The pork sandwich is really dry and lots of sauce was needed. My hamburger was dry too but I did say no pink. The $7 beer was good but I was poured the wrong one. They fixed it. The table set up was located by the bathroom entrance so not a comfortable area to sit. I suggest moving that table from that area. Credit card charge is 4% and they clearly let you know which is a good thing. I was Missing my pickles too but asked for them .

    Combo Plate
    Ces C.

    Tried this for lunch as we just got off the ferry and starving. Their specialties are bbq - brisket, pulled pork, smoked wings etc. 1. We had the Combo plate - an assortment of pulled pork, brisket & sausage w/ slaw. This was good, brisket was tender with well seasoned smoky flavor. 2. Special of the day is smoked fillet of steak - This was tender and good came w/ mashed/gravy & asparagus. 3. Baked Macaroni & Cheese, topped with/ smoked beef brisket. 4. Poke Salmon Tacos w/ rice - this was bland. I wish there was a sauce to give it a zing. Overall good dining experience, service was quick. Happy tummy!

    Grilled cheese with brisket sandwich
    Annette D.

    Rustic, cozy brewery conveniently located across from the waterfront. Good beer selection. Larger menu than expected. We opted for a bowl of chili and a delicious grilled cheese and brisket sandwich. Very good. Good music, adequate service and several beer selections available to take out in growler.

    We came here after a day trip to the island having run out of time to grab dinner there. The reviews for Rusted Spoke looked decent so we decided to stop there. It was a Friday night, and the Tigers were playing so it was pretty packed but they found us a spot to eat by the window. Service was very friendly and our waitress was super sweet and checked on us a good amount of times. The food was actually surprisingly good for the tourist trap that is Mackinac City. The steak in my bf's chalupa was super tender and my burger was hot and tasty. I loved the ambiance and the sinks in the bathroom with the faucet handles were really cool! Would recommend for a night out or for some quick bar food.

    Brisket grilled cheese
    Tracy O.

    Rusted Spoke comes highly recommended. The food was outstanding. Everyone in our party was happy. Great brisket, Mac & Cheese, and Whitefish. As craft beer enthusiasts, we really enjoyed a large variety. We sat at the bar, and our bar tender chatted up guests in a friendly manner. Overall, a great night. We can't wait to go again.

    Food was just ok, nothing I'd go back for. We had the bbq sampler/combo and the spicy chicken sandwich. Service was average.

They are now out of Snicker's cheesecake or baked potatoes now. Ok. No appetizers on their menu. Huh. Ordered ahead an Oreo cheesecake and a 4 berry pie, since they seem to be runny out of stuff quickly. Ordered turkey Reuben melt with upgraded onion ring side, special crab stuffed whitefish, blackened. They are out of whitefish. Ended up ordering two turkey Reubens, since nothing else appealed to me. The other side is salad for my sandwich. Added one scoop of the stuffing to check it out, since it looks decent. No gravy. $58.77 They must have run out of the crab stuffed whitefish after we were seated, since it wasn't taken off of the special board while we were in line. Pay at the front. They refuse Amex cards. Not good. Good thing I had an extra card. The side salad is a mix of iceberg and mixed green. The Italian dressing is quite orange. Side salad is not special, but it gives a small balance to the heavy food to come. The rye bread is really good, can really taste the bread, nice crunch to it. The turkey meat is oven roasted dinner turkey slices, not the deli stuff. It's a good turkey Rueben. The hand dipped onion rings are good, nice and crispy. Some excess batter that neither of us wanted on our rings and picked off the excess fried batter from the rings. The stuffing is pretty good, a tad too salty, but still good. The kind I like for sure. The Oreo cheesecake wasn't too bad. The 4 berry pie was good, the berry filling was really good on its own. Decent food and really good service. I feel absolutely blah after every meal while in the UP. Tonight is no different.

    What a terrible place to eat!…read more our group of 4 were seated upstairs, ordered drinks and food, then saw a friend downstairs. we invited him to come up and eat with us, and when he did he mentioned 4 others from our ski group (24) were on their way. So we went down to his table, a bigger table, and had a seat. The server came by and asked if we wanted to order, to which we said we already had ordered upstairs but were going to move down to dine with our friend in a larger table. We were told we couldn't do that and had to go back upstairs! I asked to talk to a manager. When the manager came out, without even asking what was going on, He told me we had to go back upstairs and could not join our group! When I questioned his remark, he looked at me and said " you can leave" So we did! We went to Audies a few blocks away..... MUCH better food, DEFINITELY better prices and in talking to a few locals, found out how BAD customer service is at DIXIE, and that NONE of the locals will eat there! Management doesn't care about customers, just get them in and get them out! 100% tourist trap, HIGH prices, TERRIBLE staff including the "MANAGER" This is definitely a place that will fail and rightfully so. When a business doesn't care about customer service and only the bottomed line $$$$$ word travels fast! Terrible experience and will NEVER go back!
