    Whitefish Rueben sandwich
    Nancy M.

    Excellent everything!!! We ordered the Ruben fish sandwich special (one trout, one whitefish) and a fish 3 piece trout basket. Everything was excellent and service was quick! Thank you :)

    Went on the recommendation from a gas station clerk, she mentioned Gordan Ramsey had visited (or something). I picked up a 3 piece fried trout basket which came with slaw and fries. Everything is fresh!! They get the fish from the fish market behind them so you know you're eating a fresh catch then the bread and fry it while you're waiting. The batter was super thin and tasty. My 7 year old couldn't get enough! Turns out Gordan Ramsey stopped here after his producers had and then ended up filming a segment called "Michigan's Yooper Cuisine," on his show "Unchartered". Pretty cool tidbit of information.

    Hot & Fresh! This food truck may be tucked away heading out of town, but is a must stop. The fish is caught daily out on Lake Superior, processed by the Matson family, then brought to their food truck for you to enjoy. Due to winds they didn't have any trout since fishing was cancelled that day. So that meant double whitefish in the Cap's Basket, and the whitefish was delicious. Thin breading, flaky, and piping hot. Every order is cooked to order and the fries too. The coleslaw is crunchy with the perfect amount of acid to balance out the creaminess. The fish sandwich was the perfect ratio fish to bun. The homemade tartar sauce is the perfect accompaniment and doesn't over power the fish. Seating is outside only to plan accordingly. Between the freshness of the food, the service, and the price point I Highly recommend!

    DELICIOUS! We walked 1.5 miles from downtown Munising to visit Cap'n Ron's Fish and Chips. I'd done some research about the best fish and chips in the area and saw rave reviews about this place so of course we had to check it out! They're only open seasonally and we came at the end of September so we were lucky to catch them while they were still here. They're a bit hidden on the side of the road but Apple/Google maps will take you right there! Service was friendly, I think we'd gotten there right before the lunch rush so no one was inside the truck when we got there but they were super speedy once they saw we were waiting. The fish itself was delicious, I've never had smoked fish before but it was tender and really did melt in your mouth. I saw some reviews that things were too greasy but I didn't find that to be true at all. The homemade tartar sauce was sooooo good like seriously the best tartar sauce I've ever had and definitely took the fish to another level. It was a beautiful day and the picnic seating was great to take in the sun and enjoy a nice summer/fall day!

    Great service, very friendly. My husband and I both chose the trout sandwich with french fries. The fish was absolutely delicious! It was exactly what you'd want, flaky and flavorful. It was lightly breaded, very minimal. The owner said this is the best trout sandwich you'll have, and we agree! It was! 10/10. Highly recommend.

    This place is just amazing! The food was so good, we came here three times. The service was friendly & fast. There's picnic benches for outdoor seating & beautiful Lake Superior is right in the back. We had an amazing trip to Munising, & Cap'n Ron's made our food choices one less worry. If ever in the area, we are definitely coming back.

    This was the BEST whitefish I've ever had, no contest. It's a little food truck tucked away in Munising, with a small store and smokehouse - I highly recommend the smoked whitefish dip, I literally ate the whole container in one sitting haha There's nothing better than sitting on a picnic table in the sunshine with a delicious pile of fresh fish in front of you :)

    Excellent white fish! Melts in your mouth! Cooked fresh every time! (And the smoked fish down at the nearby shop is good too)

    Walked in and immediately a young man informed us it would be a long wait (45 min). We decided we…read moredidn't want to wait but used their facilities. We then thought, let's wait...pizza didn't sound too appealing. Thankful we did. The food didn't take near 45 minutes. They had just served a group of 30ish motorcycle club members causing the wait. I can tell you the moo (locally sourced from the owner's brother), fin (whitefish from Lake Superior) and the fries (fresh cut!) are all great! The owner checked on us and shared his story of opening the restaurant. He built the furniture, did the stainless work, tables, benches...all of it! Not sure we'll be back through the area anytime soon, however, if we are, we'll definitely go back. I mean, we tried everything except the ice cream...so we have to? I heard it's a state law.

    Ok, I've been waiting catch this place when it's open, today was the day!…read more The staff are really friendly and the place is very clean. If you've ever been to a Five Guys burger place then you know what to expect as it's basically a UP vibe of a Five Guys knockoff that also offers fish dinners. The burger was really good, and i'd say they actually use a better bun then Five Guys but I did have a little problem with the prices. Now before anyone gets on me for mentioning price, I work in food service and don't have a problem paying but $20 dollars for a single cheese burger and fries (tip) is a little pricey in my humble opinion. On this occasion i took my lunch up the road to the rest stop and ate on beach overlooking Lake Michigan. I feel Clyde's overall is a better burger but I'm certainly looking forward to coming back to try the fish sandwich!!

    This particular location is a road side food truck carrying "fish & chips." I drove by it a couple…read moretimes before eventually stopping, each time there was at least one person ordering so I figured it had to be good. Fish options are cod, perch, walleye, and whitefish but perch was sold out at the time of my visit so I ordered the 4-piece cod. There were two people ahead of me ordering, which I took as a good sign as it was late afternoon - too late for lunch and too early for dinner. Fish and chips (aka potato wedges) are cooked to order, so there is a bit of a wait. The weather was beautiful so I took a few moments to wanders around. The others waiting for food were telling me it was the best they've had, so I was really excited when my order was up and the container was brimming with food. Service was 5 stars - the man working was so friendly and he was working really hard keeping up with orders. I was surprised there was only one person working. Food - I hate to be a downer, but it was not as amazing as I anticipated. It was very fresh and the fish by itself was terrific. However, I felt it was overly breaded and very heavy on the pepper. The chips were also fresh but overly seasoned. One order of a 4-piece was plenty for 2 people and we had quite a few leftover chips. Love the concept of a roadside Fish & Chips food truck, great service, but as a somewhat proficient fish & chips connoisseur with experience in both Wisconsin and England, it was not up to parr. (get it... parr: a juvenile trout/salmon)
