Our lunch here was excellent. The French Fries are the best I have ever had! We also enjoyed a great burger and a fabulous salad.

I can count on one maimed hand the number of restaurants I’ve been to in the last year that felt like money well spent, but Iron Bay is definitely one of them. We visited Marquette this weekend and decided to pop into Iron Bay for dinner on Sunday evening. I was feeling a little skeptical looking at $18 for a burger and fries, but I didn’t have much time to dwell on that because they brought it out so quickly. The Foundry Burger was excellent, and these french fries—I tell you, these FRENCH FRIES—should be the standard every restaurant aspires to. Beyond that, they don’t skimp on the fries by any means, but it wasn’t a regrettable amount of food either. Lastly, we split the whitefish tots as an appetizer, which I thought was a well-executed and unique idea—A+ for those.
Long story short: Iron Bay provides quick service, great food, and perfect portions. Well worth the money. I rarely feel compelled to leave a review for anything, but this was great.

Whitefish Chowder was amazing! The outdoor seating had outdoor heating so it was perfectly enjoyable even in late fall.

I recently visited the Iron Bay Restaurant at 105 E Washington St, in Marquette, MI. The restaurant is at a great location in a very interesting building with a beautiful decor overlooking the lake. I say at the bar and my attendant was there for me helping me make a beer selection as well as one of the best sandwiches I have had in a long time. The chicken cherry panini was awesome. I would make this a top choice to visit if anywhere near.
Parking: I didn't have a problem but could see where it could be tight

Iron Bay Restaurant in Marquette is truly a fantastic dining experience! Situated right along the waterfront, the views of Lake Superior are absolutely breathtaking, especially if you get a seat by the window or on the patio. The blend of historic charm and modern touches in the decor makes the atmosphere warm, comfortable, and uniquely Marquette.
The menu offers a wonderful selection of dishes that highlight local flavors and ingredients. I decided to try the whitefish tacos, and they were nothing short of amazing—perfectly seasoned, fresh, and paired with a delightful slaw that added a nice crunch. My friend opted for the Yooper Pasty, a classic choice that was both hearty and delicious, with a rich, flavorful filling.
What really stood out to us was the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. They made excellent suggestions, were prompt with refills, and checked in regularly to ensure we were having a great experience. It was clear they genuinely cared about their guests, which made our visit even more memorable.
We also decided to try a couple of their craft cocktails, and they were fantastic! The bartender really knows how to mix drinks that are both creative and well-balanced. We ended our meal with their cheesecake, and it was the perfect indulgence—creamy and delicious.
Iron Bay is a must-visit if you’re in Marquette. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, you’ll love the combination of great food, a beautiful view, and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back!

They were very tasty. Just didn’t get much for the price. Should’ve gotten twice as many tots for 13 bucks.

This is a great spot to eat. Nice atmosphere and beautiful view of the bay while dining. They have indoor and outdoor seating depending on the weather. I was absolutely blown away by the cranberry chicken panini. 10/10 must try.
