Restaurants in Mackinac Island

“Great food! An unexpected find in the U.P.!”

“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 really enjoyed eating here . And we are very thankful to our nice server Cornell for giving us a great service. And we enjoyed our appetizers that we ordered.”

“Great atmosphere, food and service!”

“One of the oldest buildings in Michigan dating back to the 1780’s. Food and apps are killer! Service is great food comes out quick and hot. The ambience of the building is really cool. Military and law-enforcement discount. Super veteran and law-enforcement friendly. This is a great American establishment in one of the oldest Michigan buildings! I truly look forward to coming here every single year we’re on vacation! This is a staple on our trip!”

“Took 45 minutes with a bunch of confusion to get a burger and fries. The waitress with kind and accommodating but some of the waitresses we’re eating in the back in the kitchen as we waited.”

“fantastic food! great service. Yvette was the best server.”

“The food was phenomenal! Actually have Irish beer. Friendly staff, great atmosphere with historical accents highlighting Mackinac island.”

“We sat at the bar. The bar tender brought me as many beer samples as it took for me to decide on a beer. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich was among the best I have had.”

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

“We went here after dinner for drinks. By the time we arrived, it was dark so we didn't see the view except for the lights on the bridge. We'll need to go back during daylight. The hotel activities sheet said they had piano music that night, but it was actually guitar. It was nice background music. The chandelier is very nice and quite unique. Service was very good.”

“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!!!”

“The dueling pianos show is a blast. Good times, great drinks. Bartenders Bree and Goron are the best.”

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

“Ryba's fudge is the best from Mackinac Island. Their ordering site is very easy to use. Plus, their prices are even better than other fudge sites. Check them out!”

“Best coffee shop on the island! Must try the poppies 😋🤤”

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

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

“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!”

“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 food and drinks but prices should reflect ordering at counter. The do it yourself s’mores kit was disappointing as I thought it would come with a small flame but instead we had to walk the items over to a propane fire pit and interrupt the people sitting there to use it.”

“This place was great to go to. The guy working there was nice and he gave generous portions. Also, the ice cream here was great as well. I recommend getting Mackinac Island Fudge!”

“Ordered chicken noodle soup and flatbread for lunch. The flatbread was more like a pepperoni pizza. Both were very tasty. Ground Coffee is located inside the Grand Hotel. This was better and less expensive lunch option while spending time on the property. Service was friendly. Again food was good but slightly overpriced. A bowl of soup was $10. Did appreciate the atmosphere and opportunity to eat inside the Grand Hotel.

Seating was just outside of the venue. Cute and cozy tables. Our flatbread was brought to us. Server was a little confused but we were able to grab her attention.

I guess the disappointment was that if we paid admission, there would have been a discount offered.”

“Sadie‘s ice Cream Parlor was quite the treat. It’s really expensive but everything is on the island. The restaurant is cute. I got the chocolate chip croffle. It is a croissant pressed in a waffle iron. I’ve never heard of it before so it’s definitely unique. The line is always really long, but it moves really fast.”

“We enjoyed drinks from the Geranium Bar on the porch, in the rocking chairs. The view is wonderful. We were staying at the hotel, so we went to the porch in late afternoon after the visitors had left. It wa very relaxing at that time. The drinks were really good. I had a Cherry Splash and my husband had an Old Fashioned with an 1887 ice cube, the year the hotel opened.”

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

“We really enjoyed Bistro on the Greens. The fish was very well prepared and delicious. The setting is beautiful, with outdoor tables overlooking the golf course and the lake, and a nice breeze coming off the water. It’s only about a half-mile walk from downtown, but it feels completely different—you can escape the busy downtown crowds and enjoy a very peaceful lunch or dinner. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy a good meal!”

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

“We had our dinner here and it was absolutely delicious. They had a very nice buffet.”

“Beautiful ride up and amazing dinner atmosphere”

“Great place to get a beverage and sit on the patio that overlooks the water. I tried one of their seasonal lattes and the Lake Huron fog latte - both were delicious”

“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❤️”

“This is our usual go to for lunch at the island. Great simple food. Hamburgers, and hot dogs. I always have the chili dog and fries. I gave it a 5 star for atmosphere, however, like all places on the island it is always busy.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“We absolutely loved this place especially the live entertainment. The nights we were there, Melissa sang one night and Paul sang the next night and they were both fantastic. Luca, the bartender was great!”

“Amazing egg muffins! Great coffee. Surprisingly fast service for being such a popular spot!!”

“The food was tasty and good, but that’s not why you go- THE VIEW IS AMAZING. Absolutely the best island vista you will find during your visit. My wife and I shared the Tea Sandwich service starter. A perfect snack for two while we took in the view. The people were friendly and responsive but we didn’t ask much- just time to enjoy.”

“Stopped at Starbucks in Mackinaw City and had a great experience! The staff was friendly and welcoming, our drinks were made just right, and everything was clean and well organized. A great place to grab a coffee and a quick pick-me-up while exploring Mackinaw City!”

“Great dining location, very cozy and comfortable. Excellent food choices.”
