“Our server was amazing, kept our glasses full and genuinely cared about our experience. The food was fantastic, i highly suggest the fresh whitefish, able to be done up in a multitude of ways. I got it Cajun style, and if you like spice you can't go wrong!”

“I always get the perch basket, it’s so good I’ve never tried anything else. They hand batter there fish fresh, it’s so tasty. Comes with fries and a couple hush puppies and Cole slaw.”

“We just go for dinner usually. They have great food executed to perfection every time. Staff is friendly and attentive even when extremely busy. Perch dinner and some wings never disappoint!”

“We were there this evening with our 4 grown granddaughters. Ages 23-30. What a beautiful experience. Our waiter John was all we could hope for. Bravo John. All the staff we encountered were great. The sweet lady who made our Flaming Peach Melba was entertaining and special. Many thanks to her. The food....Bravo. An interesting appetizer plate. Steaks cooked as everyone ordered. Baked potatoes and Asparagus a hit. One granddaughter had Philadelphia Chicken and was very pleased. I had the Lasagna. Let me tell you that while untraditional it was so good. I would order it again. I had Cole slaw...excellent. A good word for my Lasagna ...Excellent! Attentive service. Friendly and engaging. It seemed like the staff was a team. I can’t say enough good about Chippewa Room.”

“This place is THE BEST! Our waitress (I think Kim?) was the best waitress I have ever had. She definitely deserves a raise. The food was amazing and had great portions as well.”

“On vacation for a week and we ordered twice from here. The girl on the other end was super nice and the delivery guys were great with a happy attitude. Food was excellent too.”

“I don't know how to write this review. I don't have the appropriate words. It was a spiritual experience. Bear with me.We are foodies from the west coast, and moved to Michigan a year ago. More often than not, our uppity palates have been disappointed by the amount of restaurants in MI that carry solely Cisco (or the like) products.Max the tender, and Jer the cook were the only ones at the bar at 1pm on a Saturday in December. I was nervous there was no one there, but starving so we ordered the shiitake appetizer and the Brisket sandwich.We settled in with our marvelous pints and we started eating - with each bite it became more obvious that this seemingly simple food had been thought up by a person who has a delicate, discerning taste of a brewer. The flavors are expertly balanced, high quality ingredients with humble honest plating.My foodie demon has been reawakened.I tackled Max with questions, and this dude does not disappoint. a wealth of knowledge and hospitality, he probably is the closest thing you can get to the mythical bar-keep only seen in fantasy taverns.Upon telling him my experience, he recommended several other places to try on our travels- one of which we went to on our way back. Thai Orchid in Petoskey. After finishing that meal we almost cried. But that is another story.He needs to run for office. In fact, I think we should create a whole new elected official position. Culinary Cultivator and Almighty guide, or some such b.s...I also want to mention that we live in Manistee, in case some restaurateur takes pity on us and decides our community deserves more high quality, honest food.”

“This is a great winery! Service was excellent, and for $16.95, you can have a tasting and take home a glass. Mice selection of dry, sweet, and dessert wines. We enjoy everything and the experience. There are plenty of bottles to buy as well.”

“Had a great experience! This was my husband and I’s first time having a pasty. Let me just say they did not disappoint! The cookies here are also amazing. The staff and service were both exceptional. Very pleased and definitely recommend!”

“Had the buffet and everything exceeded expectations even after watching MADTv's Lorraine Swanson's buffet skits while we were there. Our server was extraordinary. Mackinac is local and in view from here.❤️”

“They're not lying, it really is the world's best burger. There's no grease. Staff were great! The radio they have turns the place into a small diner from the 50s.”

“Just want to give a shout out to Fox's Pizza Den in Petoskey. Their staff is top notch. I have a 3 year old who can be quiet "social" and the one guy I believe his name was Justin took the time to sit down at our table and talk to him and make him laugh throughout our whole visit. The rest of the staff was just as awesome. We also got pizza and some other items and they were all super good!!! But the time he took with my son was simply awesome. Having a toddler in a restaurant can be hard. Made our night. !!!”

“Customer service was awesome! food prep and service was fast. fries are top three on my list... not an exaggeration. I had the Mackinaw hot dog- great suggestion by the cashier.”

“The food is good! Expect an expensive outing though! The whiskey mule is great!! I got a burger and my husband got a chicken sandwich and there were no complaints. The burger was made just as ordered! The chips were a little soggy, but were fine.”

“This chain is so much better than "sweet spot". Wow! Great job dairy queen. You go!!! Hurray for franchises that manage to do better than a single dessert shop!”

“Dixie Saloon is a staple in the city. Must go, chat it up with the bartenders, drink a few beers or cocktails, have some good food, and get on your way.Had the Dixie Pulled Pork and a beer today. Great food and "holy cow" the portion!!!Check it out for sure.”

“Pizza was great. Customer service was even greater! Justin made sure we’re happy and satisfied. Definitely will be back and recommend this place to anyone stopping in Mackinaw City.”

“We go here almost every time we are in mackinac city. Always clean. Food is quick and usually decent. My eggs the last time were over cooked. But bacon and hasbrowns were perfect. The coffeeis really good. Karen is one of our favorite waitresses at any place we go.”

“Soooo delicious! The Raspberry Mango slushie, Barbie chicken, festivals and service was all amazing. Superb! Chantelle was our server and she was a delight! We couldn’t recommend this more!”

“Great place for a quick eat on a budget. One of the cheapest places to get breakfast on the island. You can also order your breakfast to go if you don’t want to eat there. The diner is small but the tables turnover ”

“Pizza lunch buffet is great, especially for the price! They even asked us which pizzas we like as we paid at the beginning and brought those out onto the buffet line. They were friendly and helpful. Line was kept clean & refreshed. Definitely will come again and recommend to others!Kid-friendliness: Prices are great. Surprising amount of options for a smaller buffet. Plenty for kids to pick him.”

“Wow! I had been recommended Pink Pony before but figured it would be typical tourist-area food... you know, everything from Sysco... But this was amazing! The cocktails were superb and the food was delicious! Better than I've had anywhere in northern Michigan. I will make this place a must-stop every time I'm on the island!”

“Took 45 minutes with a bunch of confusion to get a burger and fries. The waitress with kind and accommodating but some of the waitresses we’re eating in the back in the kitchen as we waited.”

“Jason and the cannonball oasis saved our wedding. We didn’t plan on freezing weather at the British landing and he was so kind and gave us shelter and hot chocolate! Best fried pickles ever too! Can’t thank him enough ❤️”

“We have been to the UP several times and each time try pasties from different places. So far, the first two times were just okay. But this time we went to homemade pasties and it was THE BEST we have had. Crust was flakey and perfect, and the filling savory and perfectly cooked. The gravy was also beyond wonderful. I made the mistake of saying gravy only with the sliders. Do not be like past Kim. Be like Kim in a few days who will get more beef pasties with gravy. All the gravy. If they offer it in quarts, quarts of gravy. Seriously. The sliders we found were easier to eat than the regular size, but honestly you can’t go wrong either way. I did prefer the beef to chicken.”

“Had a great experience! This was my husband and I’s first time having a pasty. Let me just say they did not disappoint! The cookies here are also amazing. The staff and service were both exceptional. Very pleased and definitely recommend!”

“Stopped in for lunch and got the dog and burger combo. The burger was good and the dog was the best I've ever had. And the faygo was the perfect finishing touch.”

“Bartender/waiter was great, The pretzel bites and cheese and pork "wings" are both different and very good. Steak tips and dirty rice was the fan fave. Yum!, Passion lemonade was also highly rated. Their keg root beer (no alcohol) is seriously amazing.”
