New American Restaurants in Mackinac Island, MI

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“I was camping at Wilderness and thought I would spend a night on the Island. I was checking 906 for activities and seen a young female musician playing at your Bistro so I reserved a table for dinner with the hope of seeing some Upnorth music. As what usually happens with plans that did not take place as the Lions were playing and the artist was rescheduled, I believe. Your Hostess and Waitress were very professional young women. The waitress was very knowledgeable and helpful. The food was excellent, Squash Risotto was very good as was the carrot cake with homemade ice cream, with a couple Guinness.“

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

“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❤️“

“Absolutely delightful, calamari and scallops were so good, the kids chicken tenders and hot dog was good too, it was very nice and if you are a child I recommend you get island bike ride for your drink, it made my family’s day so much better, and our servers were amazing.and it is really nice because the view is lovely of the straits of Mackinac. Would come here again , my brother that doesn’t eat at almost a whole hot dog and ate some chicken tenders. Also the scallops were very nicely presented in seashells and they used salt as sand to put the seashells in , it’s actually so nice and everybody loved it they have very good items on the menu. Our server Ned was wonderful - very kind and thoughtful.

“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 !! Our waitress was amazing for the second year !!“

“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“
