Excellent food, large servings, even delicious the next day. Atmosphere was not what I expected, many cool things to view.

Food was ok, service was slow for an empty dining room. Expensive for what you get but it is Macinaw. Wouldn't go back.

So overpriced! Small servings, and very basic possibly microwaved food? My jaw hit the floor when the bill came. Still in disbelief 2 days later, highly recommended to go anywhere else.HIGHWAY ROBBERY!

This was an absolutely waste of $65, when the bill came I was shocked to see a sustainability tax on top of already very expensive meals. Paid $25 for the most generic Caesar salad, with chicken flat as a board served on a plastic plate. Our food came so fast I was wondering if it was even cooked all the way through. We left feeling robbed and wished we had stayed home for dinner, wondering what better ways we could have spent close to $70 for 2 people.

What an interesting place with an odd atmosphere. It’s like an Italian restaurant took over a Cabela’s store. The decor is stuffed wild animals, tree limbs and other outdoor items. There are a few Italian tapestries hanging up. We ordered a wood fired pizza and a garden salad. The salad was iceberg lettuce, sliced cucumbers, a few sliced red onions and tomato slices. It did not impress. The pizza had no real flavor and was undercooked and doughy in texture. When I told the waiter the pizza was doughy he replied “It shouldn’t be.” He never offered to correct it. Between the odd atmosphere vibes and bland and undercooked pizza it was a disappointing experience.

Food was ok, nothing to write home about. Avoid eating in if at all possible. If you order appetizers, despite ordering when you are seated, it will be delivered within 90 seconds of your main meal. If you complain, you will be ignored until you’re ready to leave and the manager will treat you condescendingly.

Gluten Free Review; several reviews said they have plenty of gluten free options. When we asked, we were told pizza was their gf option.

The food was just ok tasting. The chicken piccata was a large portion but a little dry. No sauce. The stromboli was hot crisp and filled with meat, but the red sauce was bitter.

Some of the best pizza that I've ever had, also the most expensive, but it was worth it.

This place may look nice with its animal decorations, but the food and service are absolutely awful and outrageously overpriced. I only went because I had a 10% off coupon from the inn we stayed at in Mackinaw City, and even that wasn’t worth it.

I ordered a wood-fired pizza with several toppings, including green peppers, but it arrived without the peppers and I was still charged. When I raised it with the waitress, she didn’t apologize. Instead, she told me it would take another 25–30 minutes to make a new one. Since it was late and I just wanted to sleep, I ended up eating the same pizza rather than wait another half hour. She also said she couldn’t remove the charge since the bill was already printed and gave me a $2 discount to “compensate” for the missing topping.

The pizza itself was disgusting - the worst I’ve ever had. It was 95% crust with barely any cheese, and the taste was awful.

Between the terrible food, poor service, and ridiculous prices, this place is a complete waste of money. I will never return and strongly recommend avoiding this place at all costs.
