“As a year round island resident we appreciate the variety that Kingston provides year round. Awesome staff comfortable atmosphere. Always recommended.Vegetarian options: I appreciate getting authentic unique Island flavor as a meat free dish is a rare treat. Jamican veggie patty is one option.“

“Wow! I had been recommended Pink Pony before but figured it would be typical tourist-area food... you know, everything from Sysco... But this was amazing! The cocktails were superb and the food was delicious! Better than I've had anywhere in northern Michigan. I will make this place a must-stop every time I'm on the island!“

“Bartender/waiter was great, The pretzel bites and cheese and pork "wings" are both different and very good. Steak tips and dirty rice was the fan fave. Yum!, Passion lemonade was also highly rated. Their keg root beer (no alcohol) is seriously amazing.“

“Everything has to be five star quality...right? The facility is beautiful. You can just imagine the gala parties of the early 1900's here. The dinning room is nicely decorated and very elegant. That tables and linens are very attractive. The seating and host operations make you feel welcome immediately. We came for the $75 lunch buffet. The $10 facility entry process was easy and fast to navigate. This gives the opportunity to wander the facility and admire the incredible structure and upkeep. The dinning room is a long walk upstairs. The dinning room hostess competes the balance is the the transactions. Note that they credit your $10 entrance fee to the meal cost. The $75 fee includes the tip and a non-alcoholic/soda pop drink. Again this process was very easy. The food..no matter what you pick...is excellent, for the purpose of this review I will give you my favorite selections. The deviled eggs were very creamy, beautifully swirled and delicious. The yolk filling was very plain with a traditional taste. The egg and tuna salads had a predictable classic taste. No heavy on mayo bit a good blend that allows the egg and tuna to emerge. The shrimp are absolutely incredible. Fresh, large and a crisp seafood flavor. Their is plenty of cocktail sauce and horseradish if you want to kick up the zip. The clams and oysters were also fresh and tasty! Nice touch for a buffet. I found the short ribs to be absolutely incredible. Very moist and tender. Spoon up some extra sauce to further bathe the rib. The sauce helps accent the beef taste just a bit more. The maple BBQ chicken breast was nice. The chicken was throughly cooked. The BBQ glaze had a mild BBQ taste to the slightly dry breast. There were lots of desserts to choose from. The classic pecan rolls were okay. Ice cream soaked in a mild milk chocolate sauce. I thought there could be more pecans to balance out the ice cream and healthy amount of chocolate sauce. The small cakes were tasty as well. I will admit that I was very disappointed in the service of our attendant. There were plenty of people to serve all the tables. Our lady had about four small tables. I was surprised that dirty dishes sat on the table for about two trips to the buffet. We had to constantly ask for refills. She was not very friendly or welcoming.“

“Had a great experience! This was my husband and I’s first time having a pasty. Let me just say they did not disappoint! The cookies here are also amazing. The staff and service were both exceptional. Very pleased and definitely recommend!“
