    2 piece white fish with hushpuppies
    Jerard W.

    The Good: good location, friendly service, clean atmosphere. The Bad: my expectations. I use to come to Scalawags many years ago when it was in the same building where Crooked Tree Breadworks is now located. This was around 2009-13. This was one of my favorite food spots. The whitefish pieces were huge, juicy and delicious. So, I moved out of Michigan for 10 years, and came back 4 years ago. I was excited to make a work trip to Petoskey recently. I saw Scalawags and shared it with my friend, who equally missed it. After I placed my order and received this (see photo). It's a far cry from the past. I know inflation has hit us pretty hard and companies have to adjust, but i just can't pay for nostalgia and receive this product. It's not the same product or quality.

    Clean, friendly service and most importantly, great food at a fair price. The seafood gumbo was really good as well as my whitefish.

    "Lets go down to the Sunset Grill We can watch the working…read moregirls go by" (Don Henley) We enjoyed a lovely late dinner at the Macinack Grille on Saturday night July 27. We didn't have reservations, so picked up a buzzer from the hostess and joined the crowd waiting in the gift shop or lounging around at the entrance. Our wait was about a half hour, and we were seated in a rear dining room that should receive a Gold Medal for Eclectic Design. Our table was covered in laminated Detroit Tiger baseball cards, and the walls were plastered with beer company paraphernalia and Detroit sports memorabilia. Our server Aimy brought our meal -a Cheeseburger Platter ($11.99), and for me a cup of Clam Chowder ($4.49) and Shrimp Steamers ($14.99). My meal was excellent, the chowder was served piping hot and was loaded with chopped clams and potatoes. And man, oh man, were the shrimps great. They were a half pound served shell-on "Caribbean style" with lemon and cocktail sauce. Yes, they were messy to eat but were so worth the mess. Aimy helped me out with a few wet naps. We had an excellent experience here.

Ordered walleye, baked potato, fresh vegetables, and a glass of Riesling. Was served 3 real small pieces of some kind breaded deep fried fish, baked potato, a small condiment cup of coleslaw, and a glass of Pino Grigio. The waitress, while friendly enough, did not have a good grasp of the English language. And all for just under $50. This place is definitely not depending on repeat business. Compared to this,place, Long John Silvers is 5 star dining. Walked away hungry and $50 lighter. I won't be back.
