A spot with a true community feel. The restaurant has a classic, casual sports-bar-style layout and…read moredecor that makes it feel immediately comfortable. 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!

What a fun local tavern. Definitely a come as you are establishment. Be ready for a lively…read moreatmosphere. Great place to visit with friends or family. Probably not for large groups as it is a relatively small establishment. We might have been the only non-locals there on the night we visited. Lucky to find two seats. This place is k ind of like the Cheers Bar. Everyone knows everyone. Wonderful staff. Very friendly. Delicious burgers and great service. Lots of TVs to watch whatever game you're into. Street parking available.

I knew I wanted to eat whitefish and chips while on Mackinac Island, and the menu at Seabiscuit…read moreCafe sounded pretty good. I was worried there would be a long wait, as it's a small spot, but Nate and I could grab a seat at the bar right away for a late lunch. The bartender was super friendly and we enjoyed chatting with her. I got a featured sangria with pear vodka which was delicious and refreshing. Their taps were out of order, but they have plenty of canned and bottled options. The fish and chips came with two large filets and plenty of fries. I even liked the coleslaw, which I normally don't really love. The batter was a bit thick for my taste but the fish was flaky and not dry. Nate got the waldorf salad, which was huge and had tons of toppings and a nice portion of grilled chicken. The space is quite small so I don't think this place would be great if you have a stroller or anyone in a wheelchair. I'm glad we checked it out and would come back - some of the other dishes I saw coming out of the kitchen looked great, like the fried mac and cheese and the Reuben!

One of the only places on the island to get a good vegan meal that isn't a burger of some sort. Wet…read moreburrito ftw! Fun horse themed decor (who'd have guessed by the name). 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. Also, they're part of the 906 club, earn extra money back easily by spending yours here.

Nate and I sat at the bar here and tried some of their beers since it was on our walk back up to…read morethe Grand Hotel. The bartender was super friendly and we enjoyed chatting with her. We got a flight and I also tried a cider, which was sweet and crisp. We didn't love all the beers but our favorite was the Shell Yeah porter, which was vanilla-y and peanut buttery. They even have a flight of every one of their beers (which sounds like a lot but is about three total pints), and a cocktail flight as well. We didn't get any food but the menu sounded tasty. I would come back to try the food and maybe order a cocktail. There was plenty of space and there's a smaller sports bar-type area in the back.

Loved this spot on the main street! We had excellent service, food and beer…read more It had a good kids menu and I would happily recommend it to anyone. I thought the turtle/island theme with the beer names was adorable.
