Beef Pasty
Adam J.

This is a pasty only review. I've had Wildwood a couple times in my life and I'm not sure it'll be worth another visit in the near future. My most recent experience was disappointing. The crust was flimsy and didn't taste like much, while the insides were the same in the taste department. I'm also not sure these pasties pass the ratio test as mine (and others in my group) was overloaded with potatoes. I had multiple bites that didn't include any meat, which is no good. Their pies may be good. They may have a venison option in the fall. They may have a bigger side store than most other pasty shops. But for the pasty, I'm not sure how others gave it a full five stars.

Best pasties in all of Michigan! Don't expect a ton of frills... or quite honestly super friendly service. Where this may lack...the pasties & pies make up for it in quality and flavor.

"Wildwood Pasties" was a random stop along the road for me. I wanted to experience a Pastie (i pronounced "Paste-t") but Mark (the owner) was quick to correct me ... "Past-t" Mark was kind enough to share the history of the Pastie with me ... from English ship crew food to miners food (if I remember correctly?), to U.P. Michigan local's pride! Miners kept the Pastie under their miner's hat while they worked in the mine & used the flame light on their helmet to keep the Pastie warm for meal time. I was learning while I was enjoying my 1st Pastie ... crispy, tasty, & the brown gravy was an added taste bonus!! The "Wildwood Pastie" atmosphere, Mark's personal history lessons (& super personality) and the warm tasty homemade Pastie (of course) sums up to a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite!

So gross, soggy, nasty, horrible tasting, microwaved slop!

I was warned, anything south of Negaunee or Ishpeming pasties are not going to be good. My logic was, how could you mess up something that's essentially a pot pie that looks like a Hot Pocket, turnover shaped. My husband was born and raised in Negaunee. Never had I even heard of a Pasty (pronounced pass tee) before then, they were made to feed miners, because was easy to eat without utensils. They are a crusty pie crust wrapped around meat & potatoes, or vegetables with cheese, best when fresh out of the oven. I love the vegetable ones with carrots, potatoes, and cheese. My husband on the other hand is a pure carnivore and quite the connoisseur of pasties throughout his life. We were hungry and wanted one last pasty before leaving the UP (Upper Peninsula). This was a cute roadside stop, that carried a large array of yooper paraphernalia, honey, maple syrup, and knick-knacks. The couple that was working were friendly and accommodating to heat up our pasties, by microwave, that should have been the first inclination that the pasties would not be up to par. Like I said I did not think that you could mess up a simple pasty , but they did.. I hate to be rude, but these were the worst pasties I and my husband had ever eaten, maybe they were left over from last year? They tasted like rotten, dried up, used, stripper pole pasties, and left the worst taste in our mouths. The fact is, this place is the pure definition of tourist trap, with lots of overpriced souvenirs, and it's the second to last stop before the bridge going south. We were told by the couple working a lot of people stop there going to the UP to put their pin on the map and by the end of the year, the map is filled up with pins of where people have traveled from. Good luck to them, but I can't imagine that they are truly Yoopers. If you are from another state/country and have no idea what a pasty is, from the 'mitten' of Michigan, aka trolls, F.I.Bs, or cheese heads they may get away with feeding you this overpriced, poor imitation of a iron miner's dinner to you, otherwise, it's just sad, it truly was garbage...

Best in the U.P.

We had promised our boys that we would stop for lunch after crossing the Mackinaw bridge on our long car trip home to Madison, WI, from Ann Arbor, MI.

First off, this name was associated, but it was also called 'Smash Sandwiches'. If you search it on…read moreGoogle Maps, that's what comes up. I visited on a Friday, so it was a bit busy. There was a wait and the food took a bit too, but it was still doable. I loved all the options and the sandwiches are a good size! They come with a bag of chips, but you can upgrade to get a drink and additional side (I picked the coleslaw). I think I would have just been fine with the chips, honestly. The coleslaw was good, but not anything amazing. I thought my sandwich was pretty good, and I appreciate the dips and sauces they serve with it. The chicken on my sandwich was a bit dry, but the sauce helped a lot. I got to try a different sandwich from my friend and it was good too, but also a bit dry (oddly!). I'd definitely come back here again and I think this spot is a great option. The area is so congested, expensive, and busy, so I appreciated that this was different!

The cafe looks different in person than reviews so I'm not sure if it's going through new ownership…read moreor they're doing some major renovations. I was very surprised at how empty this place was because the food was so good!! You get a large portion for 15-18$ and it comes with choice of chips. I love the creative combination of flavors, works so well!! After eating American food all weekend, I was looking for something that stood out and Zachariahs was just what I was looking for! Had a hard time deciding between the Mighty Mac and Pistachio Press. Went with the Mighty Mac & it didn't disappoint. High protein and the Greek yogurt ranch was phenomenal. I should have gotten both to be honest because I can't stop thinking of the pistachio press. Lol
