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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!!!”

“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 ate here while on a bicycle trip. It's a good restaurant right along the main street and was recommended to us. Food and service were good, though a bit slow. Sitting on the patio outside might have made the atmosphere more appealing, but we didn't want to sit in the sun. It's a good restaurant, though I don't know how it compares to others in the area since we only had one meal while on the island.”

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

“Had both the chili with corn bread and the burger with pork belly bacon, egg, cheese on a brioche. Everything great - good service and knowledgeable staff. Craft beers and live music was a bonus along with the outdoor patio. Highly recommend - great getaway from the chaos of the island.”

“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 spot, I believe they only have outdoor seating. Tyler or Taylor (I cannot remember which) was especially helpful 7/3/26 at helping us find the perfect table for our party. The food was excellent (loved the calamari) and came out promptly. Other members of my party enjoyed their mixed drinks. And our waiter even sang some Lion King to the kiddos at our table! This place was a great end to a great trip. 👍”

“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!”

“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!”

“What a view! Drinks were so tasty and the staff was wonderful. It's a small spot but worth the stairs to get up there. Super clean and made us feel quite special!”

“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.”

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

“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❤️”

“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!”

“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.”

“Came here in 2025. Had a brownie sundae and a root beer. The sundae and root beer were delicious, but the price ($23) was pure highway robbery. Sadly, that describes just about everything on this tourist trap island. Would come here again, but only on someone else's tab...”

“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.”

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

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

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

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

“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 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.”

“Beautiful ride up and amazing dinner atmosphere”

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

“Fantastic food, excellent portions relative to the rest of the island. Service was very kind considering all circumstances with my party.

This was our second time here and it was just as good 3 years ago as it was today. Highly recommend for lunch and or dinner.”
