Iron Bay Restaurant & Drinkery

We visited during Family Weekend to see our freshman Wildcat and chose Iron Bay for an early group dinner with his friends. We ended up having such a great time here. The food was excellent, and our server was both kind and professional. Even with the rush of a very busy weekend, we felt well taken care of from start to finish.

Local bar and grill - no ambience. Food selections were limited. Quality fair. Saw this was highly rated on Open Table - but did not meet the expectations described. Would not return.

Excellent food, and friendly service, at reasonable prices. We were staying in a nearby hotel, and were able to walk there and enjoy this beautiful, historic area. Good idea to make a reservation, but not required. One of our favorite restaurants when away from home.

Best staff, food and drinks in Marquette. Always great service and a must every time I'm in town

The food was ok. Our server was very friendly. The problem was manager. My husband and I had been at this restaurant less than 1 hour. After we had paid our bill, and were finishing our drinks, the manager came over and asked if we would be leaving soon, as our table had a 6:00 reservation (it was 5:45). He even offered dessert “ on the house” if we wanted in exchange for leaving by 6. We found the situation odd and the manager to be quite rude.

They were very busy, and seated us 10 minutes after our reservation scheduled time, but Maggie was our server and she was the best! Very good fries, and the black bean burger was okay. Loved the fish & chips and coleslaw! We also tired the apple cider donut 10oz. Cider and it was a sweet treat to end the meal.

We had the whitefish tots, as an appetizer, they were good but were over cooked a little, the entree was fish and chip, very good, the tarter sauce was also very good.

The service was great, every one was kind, friendly, attentive… You must get the white fish tots! Jalapeño poppers…yum Fish and chips were great! Loved the fresh coleslaw!!! Foundry burger …delicious, good blend of flavors! Pb&J mule taste just like you imagine and they know how to make an old fashion!!! Thank you for a GREAT experience! Can’t wait to come back to Mqt and visit again!!!

Top service, delicious plant based menu choices, served up with lake side views. Worth the wait 🙌

I ate here several times over the last couple months and I got the basil mojito and the iron bay burger every time! Delicious food and drinks. Sad to leave the area since I’ll be missing out on this spot! Gluten free buns available as well!

The blueberry sage mojito was very good, as was the goat cheese lavender cheesecake! In between those two yummy items, I had their cherry chicken panino. All recommended. You can sit at the bar, in the restaurant or at the sidewalk café area outside.

Very good food and beverages. The local white fish was yummy. Could have had more fish on the tacos and more sauce on the kids Mac and cheese, though. But, I would certainly go back again and recommend it to friends. Ariella was such a pleasant waitress to work with and I appreciated her suggestions.

Probably the best fried fish I've ever eaten. Crispy battered outside, soft and flaky inside. Also highly recommend the whitefish tater tots and the root beer. All incredible. Very friendly service.

Overcharged us on a mocktail and made us feel like it was our fault when the menu they gave us was out dated.

Great food, friendly staff, great location. We sat outside on the patio. Burger was juicy, fish and chips were delish, and the fries were super crispy! So good!
