Ordered Lake perch and White fish to go. The wedge potatoes were just ok. Cole Slaw was not tasty. Perch was fried to a golden brown and white fish was ok. Neither fish had any type of seasoning. The house made tartar sauce was not very good. I will go again and try a different dish.

Scalawags Mackinaw City is my favorite restaurant. I was cautiously excited about the new location, and it did not disappoint! Best whitefish period. Less than 5 mi from home, so we will be there often!!

All the food is fresh and so delicious. The price is reasonable for the amount/big portions you get. Definitely recommend anyone who hasn’t had them to try it. Staff is all professional. We are definitely going to be eating here more.

First time ordering from this location. I ordered a white fish sandwich and fish tacos with wedges, onion rings (which cost extra) and a pickle. The online order said 20 minute wait. We arrive after 20 minutes and the order has been ready and sitting for at least 10 minutes making everything soggy (which is fine, our bad). We take the order to the car and open the boxes up. No onion rings in either of them. No problem just go back in and ask for them. The issue arose when the cashier goes to the back to tell the cook about it and one of the other employees calls me a liar and says that I’m just trying to get free food. I paid for the onion rings. I brought my receipt in. We hadn’t even left the parking lot. I even offered to bring the boxes back in to show them. The guy just stared at me like I’m the biggest inconvenience in the world over onion rings that I had already paid for and didn’t receive. Maybe watch what you say in an open kitchen to where the customer can still hear you.
Side note: don’t order the whitefish sandwich. You’ll get a single piece of fish that barely covers half of the bun. Not worth $11. The food tasted great tho.

Many people at work said it was not good, but wanted to make sure it was not just they have a different interpretation of good. I Love fish and I have had food from the location up north and loved it. This, not so much. I tried the whitefish meal, fish was greasy and the coating, not impressive at all. Wedges were soggy. To be fair I returned the next day to try the chicken and onion Rings with my friends from work, 6 of us. The chicken sandwich was just their chicken tenders, run of the mill flavor, nothing to write home to mom about. They messed up the order sent wedges instead of o-rings, charged for the rings. Out of six people eating, only one says they will return. Overall, not like the one up north!! Talking with many people at the large employer down the street, like them, won’t be returning, better to grab the food at a Polly’s at the same location. Hope they get better, and wish them well but, you only get one chance to make a first impression. They failed on both visit 1 and 2.

We went at 6:45pm and they had been so busy that they ran out of food. We waited 15 minutes and they were up and running again. The line was consistently long but moved quickly. The staff was very friendly. The food was delicious and well worth the wait. The prices are fair and the place has a good atmosphere.

The fish was not good for a place specifically known for serving fish .Hush puppies were ok , Why does a fish and chicken place serve potato wedges and they are gross would be a lot better serving classic fries get rid of the gross wedges. The service was good people were nice . The one up by the bridge is good why is not down here. I will try it again if they ever put regular fries on the menu
