Burgers and fries were great. Could have used a tad bit more seasoning but was still fantastic. Deep fried mushrooms were the best I've had. Service was awesome.

Bridgeview Diner - Absolutely awesome #2 omelet! - Burgers Near Me - Mackinaw City, Michigan

Honestly the best burger we have ever had! The burger was thick but not saturated with grease which I loved! Somehow they made the burger light and I don't feel all heavy after eating it. The lettuce and tomato are so fresh! And the bun to top it off was so nicely toasted! Again, not a lot of grease on everything like other burger joints. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Also, the fries are equally as good! Crispy waffle fries to die for!! We also got an order of the chili cheese fries! HEAVENLY! Love love love Bridgeview Diner! So so so good! read more

A truly outstanding burger...with a wide variety of toppings! Cooked exactly as ordered. The deep fried mushrooms are a treat...(pro-tip: mix the horseradish mustard with the ranch dressing for a perfect dipping sauce for the 'shrooms! Breakfast is also crazy good. Omelets however you like them, cooked perfectly and garnished with nicely seasoned house potatoes and a substantial piece of toast! Lenny has been doing this for 25 years... "Hail To The Chief!" read more

Excellent service and the best omelette ever! Also pet friendly. I highly recommend to try it out!

Lovely stop for a really good burger and waffle fries in an old time diner atmosphere! Friendly server and cook made for a delightful experience. Would definitely recommend!!! read more

Friendly service. The burger wasn't anything special. It reminded more of a frozen patty, rather than fresh ground beef. It definitely was average at best. read more

Bridgeview Diner - Shrimp and chips - Burgers Near Me - Mackinaw City, Michigan

What nice people! A good burger & waffle fries fir a fair price! Easy access & no long lines.

What in the heck? I'm hoping that my visit was just an anomaly and not their typical take-out experience. I literally waited 50 minutes for my order. As in, standing outside of the restaurant because they wouldn't let me come in. We ordered two burgers, a grilled cheese, chicken tenders and fries. And the menu here is very small, so it's not like they're having to switch between different cuisines here. The menu is burgers, fries and other fried things, so they should have this down pat. And then when we got our food, it was $46 for two burgers, a grilled cheese, chicken tenders fries and one Coke. And the grilled cheese and one of the burgers was from the kids menu! Holy hell. Then they forgot our drinks, so the server went and got a Dixie cup of Coke with some ice in it ... with no lid. I was like, "Do you have a lid I could put on this cup? We're taking this order to go." And he goes, "Sorry, we're all out of lids." Ahahaha! You're out of lids at lunchtime on a weekend? Alright, buddy. So 50 minutes later, I take my $46 bag of food and Coke with no lid and get the heck out. The food was not worth the price point nor the time spent waiting. It was your typical fast food diner food. I don't know what the heck I just experienced, but I'm hoping that my experience was not the norm for this place. I'm really hoping they just had a bad couple of hours, and I walked into the middle of it. read more

Burgers are good. Cooked to order; but, it's the waffle fries that are the world's best. Top notch fries.

Wonderful diner a little off the beaten path. Good hearty food. I always stop there for a meal while I'm in Mackinaw. My goto is a burger and fries. read more

Back again after 4 years and still amazing! We have been here for breakfast in the past and decided to try the burgers today. Amazing!!! And the chili cheese fries - awesome as well. Highly recommend this place - only open during the summer season. read more

The burgers were great. Fries are fantastic. We had a group of 12 and were able to be seated right away. We were in Mackinaw celebrating my grandmothers 87th bday. After we sang her Happy Birthday the chef turned on another birthday song and turned up the radio! It was a very sweet gesture that we all enjoyed! We will be back! read more

Absolutely amazing burgers definitely the worlds best Enjoy ! The Owner ! Come and enjoy the fabulous 50s morning sunshine read more

One thing that I can say during our visit to the Mackinac area, is that the Mackinaw City food scene needs some serious help. This is just another in a series of disappointing meals we experienced during our visit to the area. Upon our arrival we were greeted by a friendly cook and server and told we could be seated anywhere we wanted. After being seated the server took our order within a few minutes. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time but that's were the good ended. First the server delivered our drinks two small in plastic cups drinks without ice, which may be a thing but odd nonetheless. After delivering our food he didn't check on us again. Now let's talk about the food. My wife ordered the burger which was decent but in no way was it "the best burger in the world" as they claim. The burger was $9.50 and didn't even come with fries. I had the clam basket at $14.00 which was disappointing. The portion was small for the price, the clams were way over cooked in the frier and the fries were so so. The atmosphere in here is cute, as mentioned in the reviews, but I would suggest skipping it. I know this is a tourist area, but the food is way overpriced. And not that great. We were at another restaurant on Mackinac island the weekend before and got a way better meal and much better service for the same price. read more

Bridgeview Diner - Clams were over cooked. - Burgers Near Me - Mackinaw City, Michigan

Everyone really enjoyed the "worlds best burger." Buyer beware it does not come with fries. I think the menu should include what each menu item comes with ie. Lettuce/pickles etc. it's just more work for the server. I had the chicken tenders and fries and there is no barbecue sauce option.. boo. Also in my opinion overpriced. That being said it was cool we had a place to eat with our dog and it was a plus the waiter was from Ecuador. Thank you! read more

Service was great!! Loved the atmosphere!! fresh homemade waffle fries were amazing!!

This is the best diner in the world!!! I walked in and wowza! All of the decorations were so cool and the place was superbly clean. Even the cups were brand new! You could tell the chef really cared about the food and his customers. The burgers were amazing. I rate the meal an 11/10. Even the bill was served on its own dish. I highly recommend and will be coming here again. Fun for the whole family. read more

YUM!!! Homemade burger is probably as good as mines. Except the olive mayo sauce(I've never made this). The ambience is straight up old school. Motown music playing, the cook/server dancing around as he handles the crowd by himself. I must say I have had an awesome time here. read more

Best burger ever. Great service & very friendly. Fries on point, kid's pancakes fantastic. read more

Fun and excellent! The perfect throwback dinner that is owned by really nice couple. The food is excellent and fresh as can be. But the hamburgers are the best! read more

Very good! Polite staff, and quick service. Food was good as well. Pet friendly seating on the outside.

We thought any diner would be a fun place and have decent prices. Sadly we were mistaken. Walking in the place is a little run down and I get it's a diner but smelling musty is different than being nostalgic. I definitely wasn't blown away by friendliness of the staff as they seem to be there just to get the job done. There was no kids menu and every breakfast entree was $10 for the smallest amount of food that was just alright. $60 later my family left very unhappy, and still hungry. read more

Great service great food The chili cheese fries are really good an the blue cheese burgers really good

Great food and service. We randomly stopped in as the whole family was starving and we were seated and served right away. The burger was really delicious. We also got the chip cheese fries. All good was great. Will stop in again next time we are in town. read more

Stopped in to grab a "quick" burger when we were headed back South but the stop took about an hour. Only one guy in the kitchen cooking, not that it was extremely busy, but created a long wait with 3 orders ahead of ours. No BBQ for the tenders and the burgers were good but tasted like they were frozen store bought patties. read more

The entire time we were at the diner we watched the cook touch our food bare handed after touching the timer, his phone, and rubbing his snotty nose. He didn't use any tongs or utensils to pick up food, he just grabbed it, touching every lettuce piece, tomato, and fry. He handed us our food with his thumb on top of the bun of the burger. We never saw him wash his hands. Would never recommend and will never go here again. read more

The guy running the show was very rude and was touching my food when served to me. He was very rude to other customers just trying to ask a question about the place. The staff obviously didn't take the jobs seriously we couldn't hear our waiter when he talked to us. The music was so loud I couldn't think. The building overall looked like it hadn't been cleaned up in a while. And the worst part was that the food looked good but the "worlds best burger" had no flavor and the chili cheese fries were made in a microwave. In the end a cool little throwback diner was just hiding a dumpster fire of bland overpriced food. Spend your money elsewhere! read more

Best burger in the world? Doubtful. As my friends and I approached what appeared to be both a promise and a dream we were bombarded by the realization that we were, us, just a few teens from Dearborn, about to indulge in the WORLD'S BEST burger. I was the friend that forced the driver to stop. The one that talked about eating the BEST BURGER in the WORLD for weeks prior. We travelled from Virginia to do this. The WORLD's BEST burger, come on! I was immediately turned off by the longer than 2 minute wait. I assumed the shack like structure wouldn't have more then 6 people to feed at once. I was wrong. It wasn't more than 3 people, including the couple in front of us that hadn't even ordered yet. They couldn't even go inside the restaurant, to see the WORLD's BEST BURGER being prepared and delivered. I feel sad that they missed out on this experience, but I did too. They complained but a standard and price must be met to fulfill the needs of the WORLD'S BEST BURGER. After they ordered, my friends and I plainly asked the waiter if he thought the sandwich was truly THE WORLD'S BEST BURGER? He said he enjoyed it. What? I'm sorry...huh? He didn't live and breathe the burger as I would've liked, but I thought little of it. Nothing was stopping us. We ordered and waited for what felt like months. The WORLD'S BEST BURGER surely needed some time to prepare. After we got it it became clear that there was nothing to be done with the food. I lost my appetite after realizing that maybe I wasn't ready to eat the BEST BURGER in the WORLD. But, my friends took a bite. Their feedback was rough...but expected. Lacking salt...a strange pickle curry on the lower bun...and not to mention I found a picture of Steven Spielberg on the inside of my box. Needless to say, this was not the WORLD's BEST BURGER and I will not be returning anytime soon. read more

This place has horrible service but great food. The service was so bad that we were the only people there and the wait was 15 minutes

It looks super flashy on the outside, having an old time style paint job, with of course the pièce de résistance the big red sign stating "Best Burger in the World". Already a bold claim, but I love me a good burger. My friends and I try to enter this restaurant to "see the wizard" but we're stopped by the guardian of the gates asking us if we were eating here. We answered the dumb rhetorical question and got open seating next to pictures that show wonderful views around Mackinaw City, as well as, the dust that surrounds windowsill. We were greeted with 70's jams blaring through the speaker that was so loud we couldn't hear the waiter. The waiter looks like he's at the verge of tears and not all the way there since he kept ignoring us. Next to us is a bar top with containers of...food? The entire bar side is closed and everything's just right there. My friends family member came into the diner to grab something from her brother, and were even considering staying at one point. That's when this short old bald guy started telling them to leave, and kept interrupting our conversation. Turns out that was the cook. Good job chasing out your customers. Also, "best burger in the world" is a very bold claim. $9.50 is not worth the price. The burger didn't have much flavor, idk if the cook believes in seasonings but, heads up, it makes meat taste better. The toppings were decent but far from the best burger I've ever had. read more
