Restaurants in Mackinac Island

“Was just on Mackinac this past week. Stopped in for lunch with 2 of my nieces on Wednesday. It was amazing. So good we came back on Thursday. Hands down best burgers on Mackinac. Service is amazing as well so efficient! Highly recommend stopping for breakfast or lunch!”

“We have made Kingston Kitchen an annual dinner location while visiting Mackinac Island. The jerk chicken fettuccine alfredo is a must!! My husband had the bbq fried chicken and is still talking about how great it was! Great food plus a friendly atmosphere with a great waitstaff. Highly recommended.”

“Great atmosphere, food and service!”

“Excellent environment, cool interior decorations and Ben the bartender and Emily the server were awesome! This is our new go to place on the island!”

“The whitefish was delicious service was great”

“Love everything about Pink Pony!”

“We live in Ohio and never get fresh fish. My wife and I decided to split the fish n chips and a cheeseburger meal. Both were outstanding! I like to save what tastes best for last and I couldn't decide. The burger meal comes with kettle chips and I thought about substituting them for fries, but the fish came with fries so we kept the chips and were very glad we did. If you make say what was the best thing I ate, it would be the fresh white fish. Delicious!!!! My wife and I don't eat out very often and this was the best meal we've had in years.”

“The food is always awesome! My husband literally has talked about it since last year! He finally got his hamburger and fries he waited a year for and i got the pasta salad. We loved it!!!”

“It’s always a great experience at the Carriage House!!! Friendly staff, amazing food, stunning views, comfortable atmosphere! Love this place! ❤️”

“Great place to have drinks at the top of the grand hotel. You can visit the bar if you are not a guest, but in order to walk through the lobby you need to be wearing a suit jacket. The bartender was very friendly and made delicious drinks. Our favorite was the Mackinac Sunset.”

“We just got married at Mission Point on July 4, 2025 and had the best experience!! Julie Suddon and Charlotte Mills and the entire staff were incredible. Julie was super responsive and sweet from start to finish. Super easy to work with and just a nice person. She transitioned us to Charlotte Mills to do the actual planning and the transition was super smooth with tons of communication. Charlotte was equally impressive. Her communication was great from start to finish as well and fantastic for our rehearsal and the day of the wedding. Just super smooth from touring to actually getting married. We were so thankful for the wonderful and professional communication which eased any stress we could’ve otherwise had! We are so happy we decided to choose Mission Point and recommend anyone do the same if looking to get married on Mackinac Island!! Food was great, bartender was great, the vendors were chose were all on the suggested vendor list which made things super, super easy! Just so smooth, cannot say that enough! Thank you for making our wedding day perfect and for making the planning so fun and easy! Julia and Chris McAlpine❤️”

“The outdoor location is nice for watching the waves. The pricing is low for Mackinac Island. However, when we went, they were running out of most of their menu. They also ran out of ketchup, which is peculiar for a hot dog place. I recommend sticking to the dogs and brats, as the hamburger was literally just a patty on a bun. The Detroit-style dog was good.”

“BEST MEAL WE HAD ON THE ISLAND!!! Don’t let the small number of reviews fool you. This is a MUST dining spot for dinner. FANTASTIC food AND SPECTACULAR view of the sunset.
Get the Garlic Knots!!! They were DELICIOUS!! Best we’ve ever had! And the Brisket Pizza was amazing - with smoked Gouda cheese and caramelized onions.
We came because several locals recommended it and they were right!”

“If you’re on Mackinac Island and skip Mary’s Bistro, that’s on you. The views? Gorgeous. The cocktails? Pure genius—like someone sprinkled creativity with a splash of sass right into the shaker.

Angel deserves a halo for the way she takes care of guests, and shout-out to all the rockstars whose names start with Ma—apparently that’s the secret ingredient around here. Service with personality, drinks with a twist, and scenery that makes you want to linger way too long.

Mary’s isn’t just a stop, it’s an experience.”

“This was such a fantastic place to visit! I'm so thankful the Find Me Gluten Free app led us here. The service was great, the atmosphere was perfect, and the food was AMAZING!! I got The Michaelangelo sandwich and 🤌 Thank you for a wonderful lunch and a great experience 💞”

“Every time I up on the island I always go to Lucky Bean! My favorite is the caramel sea salt coffee ❤️”

“Wow! Amazing food with 5-star service. The menu is well thought out and executed with precision. The views are magical and need to be experienced when visiting the island!”

“We were up visiting as we celebrated our youngest daughters adoption day. Sanders was kind enough to personalize a cake for us and surprised our girl with a personalized cookie too! Such kind people with delicious goodies!”

“great prices for mackinaw island. nice people and the food was excellent.”

“if you get the key lime fudge and the toasted coconut fudge, and take a bite of each, it is heaven!”

“We very much enjoyed our time at The Grand Hotel. The front porch was amazing for afternoon drinks and relaxing. Shout out to James Tan, our absolute favorite server! We stayed at The Grand with friends for a week! We enjoyed meals at the Jockey Club and loved The Woods!! The staff was mostly attentive, I think the concierge team could do a bit better at being nice. The only complaint I have is dinner in the main dining room. We wanted the experience and got all dolled up one night. Drinks on the porch were great! Dinner was terrible and the service was terrible. I understand it’s a commitment and that’s part of the experience, but our waiter never came around and asked how our meals were after serving us and waited too long between courses. I could see him having a good time laughing and flirting with a coworker when he should have been attending to his patrons. I would recommend The Grand! We absolutely had an amazing week. I would never have dinner in the main dining room again. There are too many great restaurants on the island. You don’t need to settle for bad food and service.”

“Great food and drinks !! Our waitress was amazing for the second year !!”

“Best selection/variety of pizza, subs and salads. On behalf of island staff, we appreciate you Island Slice.”

“This is a really cute ice cream parlor attached to the Grand Hotel. It is a great way to enjoy the view from the hotel without actually staying there. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff is friendly and patient. The lilac ice cream is the best!”

“Some of the best pizza I have ever had!!!”

“I had a taste-test date night with my wife. We bought PB fudge from every store on the island and in Mac City. We can say with certainty that Murray Hotel Fudge Company has the best Peanut Butter fudge in the straights. We also agreed that theirs is the creamiest fudge on the island. There are so many flavors, but my favorite is the Cinnamon Bun! Although there was an error in our rather large online order, they proved that their service is excellent by correcting it right away. Latoya was wonderful and helpful. Thanks!!”

“Beautiful ride up and amazing dinner atmosphere”

“This little restaurant is a hidden gem! My friend and I had an amazing time, our waitress, Mackenzie, was terrific and fun! The Mexican Street Corn dip with chips was delicious, as were the smash burgers and fries. We will definitely visit this restaurant again, I highly recommend!”

“Delicious food! We popped in and we were not disappointed. The tortilla chips were hot and salty, the white chicken chili was flavorful, and the fries were also hot and salty. Yum!”
