I had the Cajun whitefish with salad and sweet potato fries. The fish was a bit oily, would recommend ordering with a light oil but the sweet potato fries were spot on delicious. My daughter had a burger and fries which she thoroughly enjoyed, the fries were crunchy and salty on the outside and soft in the middle. Would definitely recommend stopping by to try some standard American fare.

He even wished my mom a happy Mother's Day before taking our order, which was a nice touch. We started with the Street Corn Nachos as an appetizer, then ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a grilled portobello mushroom sandwich, both with fries on the side (an additional $4 each). This was an excellent place to bring my mom since she's vegetarian, and the restaurant had plenty of vegetarian-friendly options. The food was excellent, especially the nachos -- the queso was amazing. The restaurant also gives you a lot of customization options, like swapping chips for fries for an extra $4 or adding protein to the nachos for an additional charge. That said, while the nachos were really good, they were still $18 without any protein, which honestly felt overpriced for chips, cheese, and vegetables. We came during lunch service, and overall the food, service, and view made for a great experience. However, it is definitely on the expensive side. Most entrees seemed to range from around $20-30. Still, if you're willing to spend a little more for quality food, generous portions, and a great atmosphere, it's definitely worth visiting.

It's surprisingly difficult to find decent biscuits and gravy anywhere, or at least, so I'm told…read more But the biscuits and gravy at Pancake House are actually very good! The gravy is hot, the biscuits are soft, and if you get it with an egg on top, they're even better. But biscuits and gravy are just one of the items you'll find on the breakfast menu here. (They serve breakfast all day.) Of course, they have pancakes: buttermilk pancakes, blueberry pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, and even red velvet pancakes. We got an order of the buttermilk pancakes, which are a la carte, and then you can add on an egg or bacon or sausage for an additional fee. We got bacon on the side. Another sweet thing we got for our breakfast: a cinnamon roll, which was large and perfectly swirled. Apparently, it had the perfect amount of icing on it. I got the mushroom and Swiss omelet, which was not my favorite. Swiss cheese has such a mild flavor, as do eggs, and mushrooms have zero taste unless you add something to make them soak up that flavor, so this omelet tasted like ... butter? Or whatever they used to grease the pan. I had to add a lot of Cholula hot sauce to my omelet just to taste something. And I don't even particularly like Cholula. Omelets come with your choice of toast. The coffee was great, though, and was replenished quickly. The service was super quick, too. You can tell that these guys are used to dealing with a crush of people during the busy season, because everyone was very efficient. Pancake House also shares the same location as Ryba's Fudge Shop. You're actually sitting and eating breakfast in a fudge shop. (Or maybe people are buying fudge from a breakfast joint. Same-same.)

They have a tractor tour during maple syrup season, which takes you around their property and they show you how they tap trees and collect all the syrup from all the maple trees on their property. There is a store with touristy stuff and I purchased maple sugar, maple butter and maple syrup!! Attached to the store is awesome restaurant that must have been designed by a structural genius, the beams are all visible and the design is impressive. Even more impressive than the design was the food!! I ordered pancakes, and they were HUGE, but very fluffy and yummy, available on the table was maple syrup, the real stuff! I would suggest only ordering one pancake as the size is the size of a large plate, I ordered two and I had a really hard time filling my tummy. We also ordered the maple beans, I should've asked before ordering but it isn't vegetarian there is pork in the beans.

With a name like Chuckwagon ... to be honest, I didn't expect much. But it turns out that you…read moreshouldn't judge a restaurant by its name, because Chuckwagon served us what was probably the best meal we had on Mackinac Island. And it was the cheapest, too! Blessed from all directions. A patty melt was on the menu, so that's what I got. I can't not get a patty melt if I see one on a menu! This one was beefy and melty, with caramelized red onions between two slices of rye bread. All of the burgers and sandwiches come with plain potato chips and a pickle spear. We also got a regular cheeseburger and bleu cheese burger. All of the burgers are served on a pretzel bun, which is not my favorite type of bun, but I wasn't eating those burgers, and the eaters didn't seem to mind. Chuckwagon has a small kids' menu (the Lil' Buckaroo's Menu), with four items on it. Your kids can choose from a pb & j sandwich, a hot dog, a grilled cheese sandwich and mac & cheese. My little buckaroo chose the mac & cheese, which I believe was Kraft mac & cheese. Kids' menu items don't come with anything additional. This is a small restaurant with limited seating. You can sit at the counter and watch the action happen, or if you're lucky, you can find one of the few tables lining the wall or located in the back of the restaurant. Either way, depending on when you visit, you might encounter a crowd! But I think it's worth it to visit this old-school diner-type restaurant.

We ordered a Cowboy Burger, a BLT Flatbread, and the Herb chicken pasta with pickle fries as an appetizer. The burger was delicious and cooked exactly the way I wanted. The flatbread was huge and delicious, especially for the $12 it cost. The herb chicken pasta was served with a roll and my girlfriend couldn't eat it all. The restaurant definitely has a rustic feel to it, and almost feels like a mom and pop place. Overall, the food is great, priced well, and conveniently placed across the street from the visitor center. I will definitely be back.
