The moment you walk in, you get that warm "local crowd where everyone knows everyone" kind of atmosphere, and our server was absolutely sweet and attentive. They have a very few decent vegetarian options on the menu. I ordered the black bean burger,, and it was excellent, tasted incredibly fresh and had a perfect, satisfying crunch to it. The fries were also good. For dessert, we tried the deep-fried cookie dough.. It was okay, just a bit too tough on the bite for my liking. Overall, it's a fantastic local gem with a great relaxed vibe, friendly service, and fresh food. Definitely worth checking out!

Server was on point, refilled my water three times during meal. I ate the whole thing and regret nothing! Cheaper to pay with cash than card, cards get a 3% fee added on.

To be fair, since it's on Mackinac Island, you're going to travel an hour just to get here anyway. But yeah, if I lived anywhere in the area I'd plan a night around coming here. The three things I look for in a brewery are an inviting outdoor space, accessibility to some good grub, and (of course) some quality beers. Big bonus if a place is dog friendly. Great Turtle easily accomplishes all three. Our waitress was great - they were fairly busy but she was super friendly and made sure we were taken care of without being up-in-your-face. The lunches we enjoyed were tasty and filling. We actually came here twice on the same day. The first time we got the 12-sample flight of all their beers. We then left for a walk around the town. After an hour of talking about Great Turtle we decided to go back for lunch and a pint of our favorite beer from the flight. Very rare for us to repeat a place, especially on the same day! Next time we venture into Northern Michigan I'll try to convince Mama to go back again, get a room nearby, and spend more time without the concern of driving later on. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here
