It was a quaint and nostalgic small restaurant that reminded me of times gone by. The staff was very friendly, we got in quickly, and the food was good! We enjoyed it and thought it was a good price for the amount of food you got. Overall we would recommend!

I was here with a large group (30ish) for dinner. It was prearranged for a fish and shrimp dinner. The fish was awesome. I am usually ambivalent about shrimp, but theirs was great, as were the side dishes. The service was excellent. Quite accommodating. Convenient location.

What a wonderful hidden gem!! Found this place by accident but so glad we did. Food was great, service was awesome … everyone had a ready smile for you .. atmosphere was quite homey and comfortable. Best of all .. the prices were great along with over-the- top portions!! Definitely deserves a great review.

I think I have discovered one of Michigan’s Best Restaurants. There’s so much love put in this place. The owner, Sherie, loves what she does and it shows. The food is amazing! They make everything in house! From bread to croutons, to dressings to hand cut lettuce! The pasta was excellent, the fish was perfect. The servers were wonderful. I can’t wait to be back! Mackinaw city could use a great restaurant like this. Impressive.

TLDR: Worst meal in memory. Food borne illness followed.
Up until today, if you had asked me what the worst restaurant meal that I have ever had, I would have described a horrible meal that I was served at an Italian “Garden” restaurant chain in New Mexico. But that has changed today at the Great Lakes Grill in Cheboygan, Michigan.
Traveling to Mackinac for a short family outing, we decided to find a place for dinner off the tourist circuit. We selected to eat at the Great Lakes Grill after reading reviews on Google. As of today, many recent reviews were 4 and 5 stars. We are completely baffled at how anybody could have rated this establishment anything better than a 1 or 2.
So after walking in, we waited almost 10 minutes to be greeted by a hostess. She said there is a wait for tables and asked if we wouldn’t mind waiting in our car. Okay, we can do that. It was strange because half the restaurant was empty. Ten more minutes passed as we waited in our car and two giant tour busses pulled in. That was not a good sign. But after another 10 minutes, nobody got off the buses. Now having arrived 30 minutes earlier, we went back into the restaurant to see how much longer it would take to get a table. No idea, we were told. As we waited, at least 12 other prospective diners came in and left. After another 10 minutes, we were guided to a table with no lighting. We sat there in the shadows for 15 minutes with no wait staff to take our drink orders. We finally flagged down a waitress who told us that she would find out who our server was. Mind you, there were five or six wait staff running back and forth in the dining room serving maybe 7-8 tables. The same waitress decided after all that she was going to serve us and took our orders. The only positive part was that she hustled and brought the inedible food while it was hot.
The menu contained real basic stuff, nothing inspiring. We shared an appetizer of “crab stuffed” mushrooms. They were served in an piping hot Escargot dish. Each of the six mushrooms were stuffed high with some kind of bread stuffing and melted cheese. Crab was nowhere to be found.
The main courses were:
1)House Special Parmesan encrusted White Fish. It was inedible. The consistency was like pulverized fish meal. It came with mashers and a side salad. The salad had obviously been prepared earlier and refrigerated because the lettuce was wilted. There was about 1 tablespoon of salad dressing on the side. The potatoes were mashed with skins and had no seasoning.
2) Plain Cheeseburger, medium burned. It was so dried out that it was also inedible. Fries were hot but the insides had a mashed potato consistency
3) Liver and onions. The liver was also overcooked and hard to swallow. It had not been properly prepared and had tons of rubbery gristle. It was unseasoned. There was a pile of greasy onions that took up most of the plate. Two strips of cold undercooked bacon were placed on top of the liver for decoration.
None of us came close to finishing our food. They asked if we wanted a to-go box. But it was all so horrible, we wouldn’t even feed it to our dog. We paid the $70 plus tip (Please Pay In Cash, they insisted) and left. As we left, the restaurant’s hostess had run out of the door in front of us. She stood on the edge of US23 highway to flag down a wayward bus to join the others that had pulled in earlier. Quite frankly, she should have waved them off!
Within 30 minutes of leaving, two of us were ill. It was probably the crab stuffed mushroom concoction that we had shared. If the kitchen hygiene is as bad as the cooking, it might explain how we became ill.
I hate to berate a family operation, but this place needs a new kitchen staff and probably needs a visit from the county’s public health team. Worst restaurant meal in my memory.

Great food in a terrific atmosphere. Our server Amy was very attentive. Made us feel special. The White Caps were spectacular. Mushrooms tops with shrimp, cheese and garlic butter. Homemade croutons made the salad pop.

This was our first time dining here after hearing from friends about their experience. We were absolutely amazed with the quality of food and very friendly staff! Our waitress was super efficient as well as the hostess. Curb appeal was not their strong suit but dont judge a book by its cover! The food and service is 5 Very clean and nicely decorated. Large selection of homemade food. My husband had the ribs and the meat would fall right off the bone, very tender! I had the shrimp linguini with homemade bread that was very good! Full bar with all your favorite adult beverages. We will be back!!

Plenty of good food to choose from. The meals we chose were all delicious. We knew we were in the right place for dinner when we arrived to find the parking lot full and a line at the door to get in.

Absolutely superb dining and service here. The Great Lakes whitefish was cooked to perfection, and the meal was certainly filling. The bread is a nice touch to go with the salad, and both were very tasty.
I love the fact that the owner is out working amongst the servers, and very friendly with the guests.
The interior is immaculately clean, nearly resembling a fine dining experience just without pretentious prices.
Can’t wait to return.
