There was nothing special about this place. Everything was deep fried, greasy and heavy. We ordered the sampler and it was ok, nothing I would recommend. We also ordered the onion rings, they were good but way too much batter and greasy. I ordered the cheeseburger, missed that it was a double patty, so I ended up removing one of the patties and then paid extra for the fries since it’s an up charge. I immediately wanted to taste the fries but they were cold, not even warm. I tried looking for the server, she never came back to check on us, since we were in a rush, we left. So I ended up paying for the up charge for cold fries and didn’t even get to enjoy them.

Stopped in for lunch after walking up to Grand Hotel. There was no wait, and we sat on the patio. Our server Roman was very polite. We ordered 2 salads and a cup of chowder. The food took about 20 minutes to get. The cob salad was quite fresh with mixed greens and lots of tomatoes. The dressing was light and very good. The chowder was also good. The price was about average, I was expecting higher considering where we were. They have a full bar inside. There is a large room for a party or large group. The hostess was so nice.

The food was great. The service was slow and our server was not very kind. He was neglectful of our table and we watched him have a fab gab session with other servers while we waited for everything. The music was so loud inside we sat outside which was a marginal improvement. We’ve been visiting the gatehouse for many years but will not be visiting for a while.

After 2 days on the island and really mediocre food, this place was like heaven. Roman (hope I got the name right) was wonderful super friendly and attentive, food was great we ordered some clam chowder, a Mac Daddy burger and the American smash burger. 100% recommend 🙂

PS: too hungry to remember taking the pictures of the burgers.

Great place! We stopped in for lunch and had good service and good food. White fish sandwich and tuna rice bowl were both awesome. Server disappeared at the end of our meal, which seems to be a theme on the island. But other than that everything was great

Had a really great time here over the weekend. We popped in for an earlyish dinner before catching the boat home. Didn’t have to wait all (got there around 5:30 on a Saturday) staff was very attentive and kind. Pace was great. Drinks and food were yummy. Prices were fair especially on a tourist centered island.

Wagyu burger was overpowered by all the toppings especially the bacon jam, which I would omit next time. Steak was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Large potato pieces some were slightly undercooked, green beans were crisp and everything was fresh and delicious. Service is excellent !

Our group of five met up for some beverages and apps. Our waiter, Aidan, was very courteous and positive. Our group had french fries and some pretzel bites. Everyone was pleased with the visit here. We were not there for a sit down meal so I can’t judge the meals, but everything on the menu looked like it would be tasty. This place is right across from the cute Stone Church and off the beaten busy path on Mackinac Island. I recommend trying it out. I am attaching some pics.

decent food, expensive. but it’s on the island so that’s to be expected. good service, friendly, although they barely interacted with us. but our waiter was still very good.
you must wait outside to be seated, but they have indoor and outdoor seating
