Mackinac Grille & Patio Bar Reviews
We used to come to the Mackinac Grill every year because we loved the food. I was excited to return yesterday after a handful of years. We were so disappointed! The food was NOT good.
2 of us didn't even finish our sandwiches because the meat was basically overcooked, tough lunchmeat and so salty.
We did like our waiter, so the service was fine.
Unfortunately, we will not return.
Just got sat down. Sat for 10 minutes not even a hello. They started waiting on the table behind us they got there after us. Time to go for us.
Fantastic experience. We saw a great menu but had read mixed reviews re service and were unsure what to expect. This exceeded our expectations and has been a highlight meal of our trip so far. We were seated in 5 mins (quoted up to 25), got a corner patio table with a view, and Isaiah was so attentive. Food came quickly, cooked to order, and was delicious. Recommend!

Mackinac Grille & Patio Bar offers a pleasant dining experience with scenic lake views of the straits and Mackinac Island. The restaurant serves well-prepared dishes, including pasties, the Mackinac burger with fries, and local favorites like walleye and Poor Man's whitefish. Customers have noted the friendly service, with attentive staff making the experience enjoyable. The outdoor areas, including the back porch and open deck, create a relaxing atmosphere, especially on nice days. The splash pad and grassy area are perfect for families with kids. Some recent guests enjoyed the Michigan salad with chicken and praised the Italian Grinder and slaw as very good. While many found the food to be good, others mentioned issues with small portions and greasy meals. Some felt it had a tourist trap vibe, particularly when the hostess was unwelcoming about seating requests. Despite these concerns, the honest service regarding billing errors and the overall atmosphere contribute to a positive dining experience.
