Folks, you’re in Mackinaw City so everything is overpriced. The breakfasts are around $18-$20.00 per plate unless you get something “light” like a bagel and cream cheese. With that being said, we wanted a hot breakfast so we tried it out.

The waiter, Andre, was excellent. He was polite and attentive. We ordered our 2 plates and was not disappointed. I can actually attest the scrambled eggs were “fluffy” as stated on the menu. They give you a generous portion of hash brown. My husband’s bacon strips were large and crispy. Now, the toast was like Texas toast and soft with butter. Loved them!

I would recommend this place but know it’s expensive. I looked at other options and it’s not that much cheaper. Plenty of parking which was a necessity for us since we had an RV. We would go back.

The sign said “perfect breakfasts”… we were not disappointed! From the host, the waiter and the manager… great great great. The food? You would not believe how hard it is to get scrambled eggs cooked correctly! 3 of us eating not a single complaint! Highly recommended!

The gentleman who sat us wasn’t very welcoming and made sure that I read the details about the coupon given to me from our hotel before seating us. We were promptly greeted by our waitress, Dae. The menu is short and the options for the coupon were limited. Kiddo got fried eggs with toast, bacon and hasbrowns. I got an omlette with toast and hash browns. The hash browns were not crispy and appeared greasy. My omlette was delicious and the toast was awesome. Im not sure what kind of bread they use but it certainly wasn’t something you would get at a chain store. Aside from the menu prices, short menu, and the hash browns, the food was great. The restaurant was clean and the service was overall good. I spent nearly $65 on 2 drinks and 2 plates.

Very disappointed! Went there for a hot breakfast. Very overpriced for quality of food, plus they add a sustainability fee to your check. Waitress was rushing, but place not crowded. She brought cups of coffee not filled up. Basically she threw our food plates down roughly on the table, but we had each other’s omelets because she didn’t ask who ordered each kind. After exchanging our plates, the food was lukewarm at best. Bathroom was horrible. Toilet paper roll was not placed into the holder, just left on the back of the toilet. Paper towel dispenser battery was dead, so they left out a whole paper towel roll on the sink, which was getting wet from people dripping on it while trying to tear off a piece. Overall, bathroom is in need of a deep clean. Do not recommend.

This place was very expensive. $47 for two western Omelets coffee and a pop. I gave 4 stars because the Omelets were FANTASTIC! Hashbrowns nasty and bread has an odd taste to it.

The tin ceiling does not inspire thoughts of a lighthouse but they have lots of pictures. We got here at the end of the season and probably close to winter closure. Restaurants in Mackinaw City are really overpriced. It’s not unusual to spend 65 to 70 bucks on just breakfast. You’re thinking it has to be special to be worth that much. It’s not. It’s just the price you pay for Mackinaw City. It’s not world class. If you want to take in the sights you have to pay the ticket. Service was not outstanding. I had to do gyration to get the waiters attention to get a refill on coffee. I had an omelet and potatoes. The taste was fine. Smaller proportions of breakfast but adequate. You should probably eat here in the summer when the place is jumping.

We received a coupon from our hotel. But even without the coupon the prices are the same as the area. $16.99 for our meal. The sausage links aren’t the typical small full of preservatives that a lot of restaurants use. These are larger and DELICIOUS!!! Worth it for me. And the waitress was very kind and good did a great job.

We stopped by The Lighthouse for breakfast since it was just a short walk from our hotel, and overall it was a cozy, welcoming spot. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was truly excellent — attentive and friendly from start to finish.

The food itself was solid, though nothing particularly stood out. The French toast was tasty and comforting, but not extraordinary. The Lighthouse omelette was enjoyable mostly because of the flavorful fillings. On the downside, the toast was heavy on the butter, and the hash browns were quite greasy, which took away from the overall experience.

We’d go again for the convenience and hospitality, but it didn’t necessarily feel like a step above your average local breakfast place. A good option if you’re nearby and want a low-key meal with great service.

Visiting the Mackinaw area and was looking for an upscale restaurant for a special occasion and found the Lighthouse Restaurant. They do need to teach their people that answer the phone some proper /business phone etiquette. We were delayed a few minutes , called to let them know we were possibly running 5-10 minutes late for our reservation, and were told they couldn’t hold our table . A half hour after we arrived (5 minutes late) the restaurant was practically empty. We had an appetizer that was mediocre at best . Our dinners came as ordered and were good ( not exceptional) , but good. Service was good , nice atmosphere , prices weren’t to bad .But definitely need to do a little work if they really want to be upscale like they try to come across as.

First service was sub par. Then we wanted to split the bill and were told we could not because of coupons we had. That was fine. We understood. Then when some of our party went to the restroom, and a couple walked outside, the manager accused the people who went outside of trying to walk out on the bill, twice. They were outside waiting for the rest of the party. Then when the bill was paid, the manager demanded a tip be added when cash was left at the table. Terrible experience. Do not recommend. I will never visit again.
