Great Walleye! But caution! Like many places, there's a $1.50 charge for using a credit card. But unlike most places, they charge state tax (9¢) on that charge! The manager was sure how to "fix the computer", but he gave us a dime, read more

Everything was perfect we enjoyed the food and views. The service was amazing. They checked on us quite regularly.

Jenny is waiting on us. She's pleasant. Ordered a bison burger, onion rings, crab cakes, Parmesan encrusted Cajun whitefish, sweet potato fries, added a side Caesar salad and side romaine wedge salad. $70.21 They do charge 3% to use CC here. They wouldn't let me use my Amex card. So I can't use my card of choice and they still charged me 3%z The crab cakes are crispy and quite tasty. They aren't big, but enough for a starter. My husband didn't want the Caesar he ordered and so I ended up eating the Caesar and he ate the wedge salad. The blue cheese dressing and the Caesar dressing are both good. Both salads have tomatoes and carrots. The onion rings are so-so, not so warm. Not super crunchy. The sweet potato fries are thin, but good. The whitefish Parmesan encrusted is decent, just keep an eye out for small bones and some skin left on the filet. The Parmesan encrusted seasoning is good. I let the staff know about the bones in the fish. They told us the fish come pre-boned, but they missed it. No kidding. The bison burger was good. read more

I posted a review about our anniversary celebration experience and the rebuttal from the owners was VERY lame. No mention of an apology for the 1/8" thin prime rib I paid $38 for with the underbaked bake potato and my wife's greasy coconut shrimp and lame French onion soup. What a horrible tourist experience go elsewhere!!!! read more

Food was plentiful. Several strips of bacon and plate size pancakes. Delicious. Could not finish the meal. Staff were all nice and the decor was appropriate for the area. Nice restaurant away from the chaos downtown. read more

The Parmesan seasoning on the whitefish was so delicious!! The handmade rolls they serve as appetizers were also soft and not too filling, the best handmade rolls I've had so far! read more

Had the smelt special and the whitefish sandwich. They were both good, the white fish sandwich could have had a little more fish on it. The pickles and tarter had a really good taste and we enjoyed it. The service was okay, they had 2 servers on and they made sure everyone was taken care of. It was clean and decorated with nicely. The one thing I wish they had was a kids shrimp meal. read more

The restaurant is an absolute gem. The atmosphere of Audie's has an old-time feel with pictures of Mackinaw City and taxidermy on the walls. The customer service was excellent and the food was delicious. We started off with the Mozzarella Sticks and they were amazing!!! For dinner my husband ordered the Audie Burger, my son ordered the Double Bacon Cheeseburger, my daughter ordered the Chicken Parmesan, and I ordered the Lasagna. All of the food was made perfectly and was very filling. We did share the Devil's Temptation for dessert and wow that was rich and so good. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. read more

While it wasnt horrible it wasnt great. It was a long wait to get our food (40-50 min). My son ordered chicken tenders and they were just like chicken from a Chinese restaurant from sweet sour chicken. Just longer. Heavy breaded and soggy. He isn't too picky normally but I tasted one and they were gross. A adult in our group saw the A special was maple chicken. The chicken was pink inside and wasn't cooked all the way. No one necessarily liked their food but the rest of us at least thought the rest was edible. The staff was outstanding. Which is why I didn't want to say anything. My son unfortunately told her he didn't like his food when she asked. I felt bad for her and said we knew it wasn't her fault. I felt the need to apologize because she was so great but the food was not great and over priced for what you got. A table by us did get a refund. We could hear that they were disappointed in their food too and kept telling their kids they would go get fast food after for them. This place has a lot of potential or maybe it was just a bad night for them. Either way we will try other places and not come here again. read more

I came into Audie's expecting a higher-end dining experience, but it quickly became clear that wasn't the case. Right in the middle of the dining area, the waitstaff were doing side work--folding silverware into napkins--while guests were eating. It really took away from the atmosphere. Our server, Edgar, seemed more preoccupied with other tables. Service was slow, and we watched two tables get seated after us, eat, and leave before we were even served. For food, I ordered the whitefish, while my son and daughter got the three cheese grilled cheese sandwiches. The sandwiches were cooked in Whirl (or something similar), leaving them greasy and heavy. The cheese blend--sharp cheddar, Swiss, and garlic Parmesan--made them dry and sharp instead of creamy and gooey like you'd expect from grilled cheese. My whitefish portion was only half a fillet. The bill came to $64 before tip for one whitefish and two grilled cheeses--pricey for such an underwhelming meal. Honestly, the food was "meh" at best. The restaurant seems to survive solely on the tourist crowd; if it relied on locals, I doubt it would last. One more oddity: there's a large, well-lit salad bar in the middle of the room that's completely empty. It's apparently been "closed for years," but it still sits there like a relic. Overall, overpriced and overrated. Definitely not the upscale experience I was expecting. read more

We were visiting with friends in Mackinac City for a few days after time in Saugatuck and Traverse City. Dining is somewhat tenuous in the first area, but our morning meal at Audie's was the worst breakfast I've ever ordered in a restaurant. The taxidermy species mounted on the walls didn't help. The sausage links were fine, as was the bacon ordered by my friends. The eggs were overcooked--my scrambled ones were brown and rubbery--and my friend had a pair of poached eggs which covered a an unordered third that had been overdone as well. The hash browns were... not. And most likely were the leftover mashed and baked potatoes from the previous night... warmed over and then left out before the breakfast plating. And then when we mentioned the coldish dish to the server, she brought out five plates of the same, but obviously microwaved. Completely inedible. And offensively so. There are other local diners in town... nothing spectacular, but at least with consumable food. Which Audie's certainly wasn't. Enter and dine at your own risk. If I could give it zero stars I would. But gave it one for the service which was okay. read more

Stopped for breakfast with friends on our way home from Michigans Upper Peninsula. Easy access once you get off the Big Mac bridge. The service was good and prices were reasonable. Their homemade 1/3 pound sausage patty was very flavorful. Would definitely add to the list for a future adventure. read more

Nicest waitress. Worst whitefish ever. It was strong and slimy. They did remove it from my bill.

I stopped here for a solo business late lunch knowing that they had some of the best Parmesan encrusted whitefish in the area and they did not disappoint. You have a choice of French fries or mashed potatoes with the entree (a baked potato is no longer offered) and a $ 1.99 up charge if you want coleslaw or a side salad. Complementary warm bread served with the entree. For dessert I had the homemade hot fudge cream puff that the waitress warned me was "huge". It can (and probably should) be shared with 2 other people. Low top seating. Lodge type atmosphere. Small restrooms. Friendly and prompt service. Up to 3% fee on charge cards (not debit cards). Competitive pricing. I have and will return. read more

I've been here several times since it's been conveniently located near my motel of choice. The staff try, the wait has been short, the food has been fine, the vibe is chill. It's just not special. It's just not extraordinary, which is fine. I'm not upset, I'm not even disappointed - I'm just very neutral. It's like what I make at home (yay) but I have to pay for someone else to make it. Again, I keep stopping here, and I just keep wishing it was more somehow. That's not their fault . read more

Audie's Restaurant - American Near Me - Mackinaw City, Michigan

This restaurant is in the style of 1001 diner restaurants in the north. You all know what I'm talking about! Has all kinds of wildlife themed pictures it has that glossy log cabin themed sections of the wall. However they have a very extensive menu that includes seafood pasta steaks hamburgers and assorted sandwiches. They also have a placemat that has the full assortment of cocktails that you can order and it's pretty complete. I had the wedge salad here which was made with a small Romain lettuce it was on chopped and generously slathered in blue cheese salad dressing. Was one of the better wedge salads that I've had. Spaghetti was good although not the best I've had. I feel like it had a slight cinnamon flavor to it. This restaurant is in a tourist area so because of the nature of tourist traps the food is a little over priced. *insert meme of admiral ackbar saying "it's a trap!" But the waitress was very kind and the service was right on point. It's located just to the right of the bridge so if you're headed into the UP it's the perfect place to stop if you want to be quick. Go ahead and give it a shot! read more

We stopped in for a late breakfast. Everything else was closing for the winter. My wife and I both had a Dad's Breakfast. The food was good. The sausage was the star of the plate. The eggs were cooked as ordered. We had the strawberry apple jam. It was good. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

This was a very average diner experience. Service was decent, we didn't go without. I had a hamburger and it was just mediocre. I'd rather have a Burger King burger to be honest. My boyfriend wasn't impressed either. Not bad, just not that good. read more

I loved the food but I'm a sucker for fish I haven't had in a while. The smelt appetizer was great and shareable with another, the stuffed whitefish was very good and I paired it with the Armenian rice pilaf which was the best pilaf I've had in a long time. My wife had the broiled whitefish on the plank and it was just as good as everything else. Service was okay, not overwhelming good or bad, just okay. Ambiance is three different settings as it is broken into 3 different places with 3 variations of the menu: the lounge(bar menu), carriage?(not sure of name) it's the room we ate in, widest variety of menu items and the family dining. Our meal was good and the food came out hot. read more

Ate here twice during busy tourists season. Made reservations for lounge one night and Chippewa Room other night. Restaurant busy with locals but food and service excellent. Will return when in area again. Did not try family dining area on other side of restaurant as they are first come first serve but assume same kitchen and standards. GF person in our party had options and they seemed to be on top of it with no issues after eating. read more

It was my birthday so I made reservations for The Chippewa Room. It was very elegant with linen tablecloths. The food was so delicious! I had the stuffed whitefish and my husband had the walleye. He also said it was delicious. Our server was very efficient and friendly. I will be coming back again whenever I'm visiting. read more

Located in the shadow of the Mackinac Bridge, and a few blocks from all the tourist trap restaurants downtown, is this breath of fresh air. This restaurant has a higher end restaurant and a family type dinner under one roof. Want a steak or some seafood? Chose the "Chippewa Room". If you want something more casual chose the "Family Room". We had been traveling a lot, and walked the whole downtown of Mackinac City, so we just wanted a quick, decent meal. We chose the Family Room and were so happy with everything about our experience . Got seated quick, waitress was busy, yet more than attentive and friendly . Food came out relatively quick and everything was cooked the way we liked it. Started my meal with a crock of Baker Swiss Onion Soup. This is a "must have" for those who are like me, and love French onion soup. Loved the cast iron crock, and the baked Swiss cheese was a great tasty touch, For my entrée I had the Bar Burger, and it was excellent. Cooked perfectly, and season very well. Really hit the spot! Even though the Family Room was more casual, the menu was extensive. Had just about everything from fish to pasta, so everyone should be happy no matter what they ate in the mood for. After reading some of the Yelp reviews for some of the downtown restaurants, we are so glad we drove out to Audie's to eat. I'm sure we saved a few bucks, and got a great meal. read more

Audie's Restaurant - Baked Swiss Onion Soup... awesome! - American Near Me - Mackinaw City, Michigan

BAD SERVICE BAD FOOD!!!! OVER PRICED FOR WHAT YOU GET!!! Had a hot turkey sandwich that was terrible No flavor and the potatoes were like brown glue. They were in the steamtable all day I think so were terrible Suppose to be whipped garlic potatoes but they were aweful. I told the waitress all she said was sorry but didn't ask if she could do anything to make it right. Still charged the price $15.00 plus for something I couldn't eat. read more

Went to the more casual looking side and upon entering, it looks very cozy. We were seated immediately. I ordered the Whitefish broiled with a side salad. Whitefish was cooked well but had a slight lingering fishy flavor. It came with butter and tartar sauce and lemon, which helped with the flavor. My partner ordered the whitefish cajun style and it was really good! Side salad is a nice mix of greens. I ordered it with the balsamic but the balsamic was incredibly sweet and thick? Also ordered the baked swiss onion soup and this stole the show! Was absolutely delicious and came in this small iron skillet. So flavorful and rich. For dessert, we got an apple pie with ice cream. The apple pie was cold and the crust was so hard. We had to really knife through the crust to get a good bite. The filling was kind of gelatinous. Service was friendly and attentive! read more

Best breakfast I've ever had in Mackinaw city, and the prices were quite reasonable. Very helpful staff to boot.

Had the dads delight! My dad had the corned beef and hash. By the looks I'd rather have that I think. Hash looked great. Apple strawberry jam was full of apple chunks!! And so so sweet. The 1/3 lb sausage patty they advertise all over is ok. I thought it lacked some flavor. A friend saw my check in and told me to get the beer cheese but I had already left at that time. We'll be back for sure! read more

We came in two days in a row for breakfast on a Friday and a Saturday. On Saturday in the summer you will wait for a table. It was only about 10 minutes. Coffee was good. The omelet was huge, sorry I wasn't alert enough to take a picture. Oatmeal is also a large portion. They sell their jelly and also honey and other things. I'm assuming they have cocktails later in the day because of the paper placemats. read more

Menu was dirty, with residue from a drink stuck on it. Only good thing was the appetizer, but main course was really disappointing. Food was quite bland, practically tasteless. Service was subpar, with waiter only coming by to take the ketchup for cleanup, but never asked if we wanted refills on our drinks. read more

We highly recommend this restaurant. Stay away from lighthouse restaurant and toast and go. Food outstanding. Service outstanding. Atmosphere outstanding read more

Servers were pleasant, but the back of the house was not good. Ordered the smoked chops on special. One chop, not two as is stated in the menu and that single chop was about 3/8's of an inch thick. Pointed this out to the cashier and was told "I can't do anything" and "you should talk to your server". We had finished at this point. I've eaten at Audie's in the past and was always decent and plentiful...will not eat here again unless I hear they've changed management. read more

One of the best places I have ever eaten. The white fish was super fresh. Fresh salad and fresh vegetables. The service was just ok. But worth the food. The maple Sunday ice cream was absolutely delicious! read more
