found this little gem about seven or eight years ago when we started traveling the UP for business events ! fantastic burgers, and fresh cut fries . Now every time we go to the try to plan to make sure we can stop here and get lunch and usually order a little extra for dinner too There are multiple roads that go north from two in the so unless you're going to Sault Ste. Marie almost every time you could choose to go here which we do We always try to stop by and support Wayne and his family! great fresh burgers, fantastic customer service and love that they are second amendment supporters and did not freak out when we came in with our guns on our side they also have ice cream station in here with I don't know + flavors not exactly sure Whenever you get a chance, please stop here on your way. It's worth the trip even if it's out of your way. Lori Levi read more

I cannot say enough good things about the simplicity of this menu and the flavor of the food. The French fries are like "fair" fries (there's even malt vinegar on the tables!) We split a large order of fries and they were WAY too big for two of us. That cup was inside the bag with the copious amount of fries surrounding it. We made three meals of those fries. The associate at the counter had good advice and a good sense of humor. The burger had a juicy center but crisp edges, coupled with the bun toasted the same way, it was a win! The seating was ample and the wait was minimal. All food was cooked to order. Next time, we will split a double Moo or get singles. It was WAY too much for the two of us. The amicable owner walked amongst the tables asking about the food, and answering questions. He definitely wants you to return. Dang, we were so full we could not order any ice cream! We'll be back. read more

Well first time their burger and fries were delicious. The burgers & buns are made fresh there & fries are fresh cut from potatoes (not frozen) the owner Wayne sat down with us to make sure we were all happy with our food. Will stop back on my next UP trip read more

I had no idea... this place is sooooo good. Hubby got the double; I got the single with the olive burger mix topping. Wayne (the owner) took some time to perfect this to get it just right before he put it on the menu. And the fries? Hand cut and fresh! A most generous serving. If you are in the area, make it a meal stop. If you're not in the area, take a road trip. You'll be glad you did! read more

Delish local food, a real community feel, and a genuine nice guy as the owner. I had a burger with jalapeños, bacon, grilled onions, lettuce, mayo, and it was soooo juicy and flavorful. The meat comes from his brother's farm. And the poutine.... YUM! We've decided this will be a tradition whenever we come to the UP. NGL, I'd cross the Mackinac bridge for this burger!!!! read more

Moofinfries - Exterior - Burgers Near Me - Naubinway, Michigan

So before we go on vacation we usually look all along the whole route and see what's out there, what's coming up, as far as gift shops, restaurants, beaches roadside parks or anything like that. We saw "Moofinfries" on the route and it looked interesting so we decided to try this on our way home from vacation. It is a small little restaurant and I didn't understand the name until I figured it out, they sell burgers, fish and fries so the burgers are "Moooo" the fish have "fins" and then they also make Poutine Fries. At least that's how I think the name came along, that's just my opinion. So I ordered a 4 piece white fish and a small order of Poutine Fries. They have a small picnic table outside for those who want to sit outside and eat and we'll, why not it was a nice day out, they also sell some of their own merchandise like hats, shirts and hoodies. I also bought a hat cause I love hats. They also told us that all the fries are cut fresh to order and the fish is caught daily from the local lake which is really amazing! So I had the Poutine fries first and I will say this is the BEST poutine I have EVER eaten, everything just tastes as fresh as they said it was, the gravy was thick, it had a great seasoning and was just all out amazing. Now let's talk about this whitefish, I have had white fish before, in fact, I have had it at some expensive restaurants but what they brought out was better than any white fish I have had at any other place, the batter was nice and crispy, it wasn't super oily like most batter usually is, the fish was VERY delicious, it didn't have a fishy taste or texture at all. it literally broke apart when you cut it with your fork and then the tartar sauce to dip it in was really good. Everything at this restaurant from the fries to the fish and even the restrooms, which were immaculately clean, was just perfect. This is a place we will stop EVERYTIME we go on vacation and I think anyone that is ever driving down the U.S. 2 in the Upper Peninsula needs to stop here and give this place a try because you WILL NOT regret it. read more

I spent a week in Naubinway with my family when I was little. Beautiful place, though the thing I remember most is Moofinfries. We went several times during that week and it was honestly some of the best food I've ever had. Even years later I think about it quite often, hence why I'm writing this review now. I'm eager to return some day read more

We just had delicious burgers, poutine and shakes here. What a good choice this was for lunch! The restaurant was sparkling clean and welcoming. The food was wonderful. The poutine was made with a rich beef gravy and we really enjoyed it. You order your food at the counter and then can choose your seat at one of the gorgeous wood tables. The food was brought to us promptly. Every staff member we spoke with was courteous and very friendly. We will definitely be returning. read more

We drove 40 min to get here. They were closed. Is there a way this business could have updated hours on google or yelp.

Always mind blowing! Service is SO kind, food is as well. We are so lucky to have this place! read more

Going to the UP with my family we had a lot of recommendations, but all the guys my husband works with, unanimously said this burger place is a must. We planned accordingly. This place is 40min going west from the bridge. If we weren't specifically looking for it, we would have never stopped there. While it's cute, it's not a place that commandeers attention driving by. Walking in, it's decor is like a cabin, tables are lacquered picnic tables. You order at the counter and sit down to wait for your food to be brought out. Any misgivings I may have had, were gone with the first bite. This burger made me want to wax poetic and I'm not a poet, nor that big of a burger lover. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and at least for me, didn't even need any condiments. Fries were good but not spectacular. Everyone agreed though that it was hands down the best burgers we've ever had in a restaurant. So goid in fact that we made it a point to stop by again on the way back. Since Moofinfries only makes burgers, fries, and fried white fish (hence the name), I had to try the fish too. The burgers were just as good as the first time. The fish was flaky and cooked to perfection. The family was split on how much they liked the fish. 2 votes good, 2 votes ok. Fish is a tricky thing especially with kids. I'd still say to try it if you're a fan. Definitely recommend this spot. The views of Michigan Lake on the drive are amazing as well! P.S. The first stop I forgot to take a picture of any of the food because we were hungry and it was too good. I almost forgot the second time too, but tore myself away after the first couple bites to capture the deliciousness. read more

I love this place! It's a great burger joint. They also sell fish sandwiches, though I've never had one. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. It's located just a perfect distance between many destinations you could be traveling in the southern shore of the UP. Every time I go, the owner himself, comes to visit our table to show his appreciation of your patronage and make sure you were satisfied. If you leave hungry, you left without finishing your meal. The portions are huge. The fries are freshly cut for each batch (your order) made. We've stopped nearly every time we get this far west of the bridge. I highly recommend making this a regular stop. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, one of the best burgers I've had in awhile. Fresh ingredients and food made to order. The tartar sauce was very dill forward. The service was incredibly friendly and fast for how busy they were. The owner walked around to different tables and chatted which meant a lot. Would recommend adding this as a food stop while you're traveling the UP! Plus they have a silly logo. read more

Made to order by friendly staff, reasonably priced, very clean. The owner and staff are always very friendly, the hamburger rivals any of the other great burgers in the UP. The fries!

They only do three things--burgers, fish, and fries. They are all delicious and served with a smile! Super clean and friendly!

Been up in the UP for a week and on my way home I stumbled upon moonfinfries, I honestly did not have high expectations but goodness gracious best food ever! I got the burger all ingredients were fresh! Ranch was amazing and they gave a generous portion! My ice cream had a little caramel turtle in every bite! Please tell me where else you get that??? Not possible! Staff was friendly and kind, I had the best time ever here! Please stop by! read more

The ice cream! OMG - the best ! The raspberry with dark chocolate swirl was amazing! They even have a GF designation on the flavors that are gluten free - thank you!! read more

So I decide to back up and review the food first. I ordered the SINGLE CHEESE BURGER w/ ketchup mustard lettuce tomato mayonnaise onion and I am going to say BEST BURGER I'VE EVER HAD. I've eaten a lot of burgers in my 58 years and this one stands out above the rest. I don't know why. It was just great. I also had poutine. I've never had it before so I had to try it. It was very good also. The fries I it and the gravy and cheese was delicious. My wife had 3 piece white fish. It too was fantastic. The owner told us everything is locally sourced the beef is from his brother farm the fish is from Lake Superior. I also had a Malt on the way out. It was very good also but. It didn't stand out like the burger and fish did. DEFINITELY STOP BY THIS PLACE IT IS GREAT FOOD. I had forgotten about this place or never thought I'd be near it, but as we were on our way to Manistique, Michigan my wife suggested it. So we stopped. It was Not what I expected at all. First when we walked in it looked very minimal picnic tables to the right and a counter to the left where you order. By the way the picnic tables are in the top 2 nicest I've ever seen. The owner said he made them. The owner came over twice to talk to us, once before we got our food and a second time while we were eating. He is super personable and seems like a real nice guy. So not to disappoint Brian if he still reads my Yelps. The napkins they give you with your were outstanding and they had others in the table in a holder that I didn't try but looked a little less sturdy. They also had Salt, Pepper, Hot Sauce, and Malt Vinegar on the table. Overall this was a great surprise and a great experience. I definitely want to stop again and will when in the area. You should too. read more

Great food and great atmosphere. Stopped here on the way up to MTU. It was fast and quality food rather than stopping at fast food

I love this roadside restaurant. The food is always delicious and fresh. The service is so friendly and welcoming. The ambiance has that "up north" feel to it. Even when we came in 10 min before they closed, they were welcoming and friendly. This is one of my favorite places to eat when I'm in the IP! read more

Customer service is top notch and the burger is the best butter burger you'll ever have! Definitely makes you wonder how far you'd drive for a burger like this.

Stopped here on our drive to Marquette and we were extremely pleasantly surprised!! This restaurant is family owned and run, all of the ingredients coming from the local area. Food was so tasty and fresh! Also - as an added surprise, malt vinegar on every table! Perfect for the fries. The owner made sure to spend some time with us, telling us about the food and restaurant! Great people and a great place to stop! 10/10 recommend! :) read more

Do you want to eat the best tasting burger or whitefish of your life?! Then come and eat HERE! My fam and I have been traveling around Lake Superior and Lake Michigan this summer and all of our eating experience were average. Nowhere have we found whitefish this tasty! The owner was incredibly gracious and he shared with us where his food comes from, how it is prepared, and presented. It's simply amazing taste! Food we ordered: Cheeseburger w bacon Whitefish sandwich Whitefish pieces Poutine with mozzarella cheese only Garden salad My kids (6&3) devoured the fish and fries. My husband said his burger was incredible. My fish sandwich was perfect: moist with crispy skin and crispy coating. The salad i had ordered (thinking i'll eat it the next day but no such luck), we all ate from it because each salad leaf and vegetable tasted as real food should (if you don't know what that means, come try it here). Location cleanliness: very clean. You could see and feel it was clean. Tables inside were more than 6ft apart. Sanitation of the tables was immediately after the table emptied. Bonus: ICE CREAM! Yep! We had that too. Strawberry cone and dark raspberry cone. I don't eat dairy... but after just one small taste, exceptions were made ^.^ read more

The owners and staff are incredible! You couldn't ask for a nicer group of people! Owner stopped at table to check in and what a genuinely good guy! Store was super clean, love the spaced out tables with covid! I also love the simple menu...not a lot of overwhelming choices just a handful of great selections. We ended up getting an assortment...a single burger, poutine, 3 piece fried white fish. All were delicious...really loved their house made tarter sauce heavy on the dill. Awesome stop...will be back if in the area. read more

Wow, great locally sourced food. We stopped at MooFinFries on our trip along the North Shore of Lake Michigan in route back to Minnesota. MooFinFries has good grass-fed beef burgers, fresh-caught white fish, and a generous portion of hand-cut potato fries - a really nice, well-prepared dinner and a comfortable, friendly environment. We did not try the poutine, but it was described as a local variation of the French-Canadian specialty comfort food. A note about the potato fries from someone who grew up on a potato farm: these are the real deal; large fresh spuds, hand cut, and deep-fried in peanut oil; not crispy, but cooked gently and slightly browned. These are much, much better that the overly cooked, crisp, salty fries you get at a fast-food place like McDonalds. We highly recommend MooFinFries as a destination place to eat when you're in the U.P. read more

Moo Fin Fries.... The name pretty much explains the menu. Burgers, fish, fries, ice cream. The menu is small but what they do, they do well. Burgers are great, poutine is amazing! I usually top things off with a chocolate malt which is so so good! Service is amazing and everything is clean and the food is great. Not sure what more you could ask for. read more

This place makes the 10 minute detour so, so worth it! We got the "Moo" and the fish sandwich - they both delighted our taste buds!! My mum got the "Moo" with most of the fixings. She devoured it and was proclaiming its deliciousness the whole time. The fish sandwich I ate was super good - the tartar sauce is fresh and so tasty! The hand-cut fries - THE HAND-CUT FRIES. Y'all gotta taste those salty, crispy bad boys. However, the best part had to be the owner and his employees. We got there 10-15 minutes before close, but the owner was amiable and extremely helpful. The staff also was friendly. We talked with the owner while ordering and waiting for our food. He explained how his restaurant uses fresh ingredients from local sources - including his own brother's farm and how he tries to keep the quality high. 10/10; totally recommend to anyone traveling to the UP! read more
