Strawberry cheesecake pasty is scrumptious
Aileen B.

I remember getting a pastie as a child, taking one bite and not eating the rest. I thought it was bland. Either my taste buds have changed dramatically, these pasties are more flavorful, the beef gravy I got with these brought it to a whole other level, or a combination of those factors, but their traditional pastie with beef gravy is phenomenal. (I think the gravy makes a world of difference, so I'd never order it without again.) The strawberry cheesecake dessert pastie was also wonderful! The shop contains several made in MI goodies for purchase, and seating is outside at picnic tables (some covered and others not). I would undoubtedly visit Muldoon's regularly if I lived near here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Man I hate to write a bad review about a small business that for the most part has done nothing wrong. This review is more about the item itself than anything they did per se. As I was preparing to take my trip to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, I was told that I had to try a Pasty (pronounced Past-ee). When I drove over the Mackinac Bridge I saw no less than 20 signs for pasties in my 2 hour drive to Munising. When I got to Munising 4 different people recommended Muldoon's as the place to eat one of these pasties. A pasty is a puff pastry kind of a combination of a pot pie and a sandwich filled with ground beef, rutabaga, potatoes, carrots, and onions. They serve you a side of dark brown gravy on the side. This was the dryest, most flavorless item I have ever eaten. There's no seasoning unless you add the gravy and then I don't know if that added any flavor, just made it less dry. I just don't understand the appeal. Maybe I am spoiled because I am from New Orleans and everything has flavor. I was expecting this to be like an empanada or a meat pie but it's just like eating cardboard. Again for those who like them, I'm sure Muldoon's does a fine job. The people were very nice. I looked up other places and they all looked the same so my issue is the item itself. Maybe I should move up here for the summer and add some Tony Chachere's, cayenne pepper. or some sort of sauce to make these better. I feel the entirety of the U.P. needs this! Don't listen to me if you are in the Yoopers give them a try and then tell me I'm wrong.

We stopped to get a pass-tee treat, sort of disappointed. It was sort of dry, had pretty good flavor but more potatoes than anything.

Stopped in for pastie snack, and try some fudge, typical pastie, didn't stand out but lots of filling, nice size. Added a very small gravy $1 thought that was a little much for the size. They were out of fudge so couldn't try that. Cute shop, couple of outside sittings. Traveling thru probably wont stop in again, try someplace else, lots of pasty shops around.

Veggie Pastie

The beef pastie with brown gravy was awesome! Carrots, potatoes, rutabagas and beef all wrapped up and served warm. Definitely comfort food! The shop is in an old house right along side the road. They also have fruit pasties and fudge

Beef pastie
Amanda B.

Yes yes yes yes! The last time we were in the area we stopped at a pastie shop in Marquette and were sorely disappointed. We were so hopeful about Muldoon's when we saw the signs touting them as #1 pasties in the U.P., and we were NOT disappointed. First off, this place knows how to churn out hot, delicious pasties in fast order. We ordered and paid and had pasties in hand in less than 1 minute--being a shop that specializes in so few things means you can keep cranking your best selling items through the lunch rush! Husband and I both ordered beef pasties. For those of you not familiar with pasties--think of a walking pot pie. Muldoon's makes a homemade crust that is flakey around the ridges, and soft and pliable in the center--delicious! They stuff the beef pasties with ground beef, onions, potatoes, carrots, and rutabaga. If you get the combo (special?) you also get coleslaw, beef gravy, and a pop included. If you don't want all of that, at the very least I suggest you be sure to pay for the side of beef gravy, as it's DELICIOUS and enhances the pastie-eating experience. Worth noting that Muldoon's also makes chicken pasties and a vegetable (vegetarian NOT vegan) pasties too. We went to the location closest to Riptide Rd., but noticed that they also had another location in the more downtowny area of Munising too! You order indoors, but there is only seating on their porch or patio tables in the yard. You can take food to go, and can even order frozen pasties. The only thing I hated is that we didn't buy a dessert pastie for later in the day. We were just too stuffed to think about anything else. CANNOT wait to go back next time we're in Munising.

Apple pie

Let's start with what a pasty is......a pasty is a handheld meat and veggie pie filled with meat and root vegetables  These are specialties in Michigan's Upper Peninsula  and if you are in Munising you must stop and try Muldoons Muldoon's is touted as the "best," and I'd agree. The dough was flaky and crispy, yet still moist. Generous size and stuffed full of meat and veggies. You order inside to go, and you have an option to eat at one of several picnic tables outside. Pasty flavors: beef, chicken, or veggies, and they offer an apple pie filled too for dessert My rating rationale +1 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation +1 Atmosphere/vibe +1 Value Visited on 9/14

Grabbed a chicken pasty from Muldoon's during my vacation to the UP. Dunked mine in a thick and delicious chicken gravy (because that's 100x better than ketchup...) So good and satisfying and filling and comforting. The shop is cute and very small. There is a gift shop and a counter to buy pasties. They also sell wild rice, which I bought a bag of. Super excited to make it! Highly recommend a stop at Muldoon's Pasties if you are ever in the area.

Listen, I get it, this place has 200+ reviews. I'm just putting a hat on a hat here. What I'm really here for, is to say: pasty's should only be topped with ketchup, salt, & pepper. Gravy is for knuckle dragging mouth breathers. Ignore that. Go buy a dozen pasty's from these nice people.

4 years later & still solidly the best pasty in MI Prices have gone up ($7+ now) but quality remains (as proven by the line out the door) Line moves very quickly- they've been doing this a long time *if there's wild rice for sale (3#=$21), pick that up- they're harvesting it right here

Traditional Beef Pastie
Chris S.

Just west of town is Muldoon's Pasties. If your looking for authentic, this is it! We loved their options... Beef, Chicken, or Veggie Pastie. Make it a meal with white or brown gravy, slaw and a drink! And dessert pasties to boot! They had apple and cherry when we visited. They offer outside seating and a chance to get your picture taken with Sasquatch! Nice little spot to eat a Pastie after the 2+ hour Pictured Rocks tour.

Beef Pasty and gravy

I've never had a "pasty" before.... Love it!! So good. We got the original beef and gravy!! Can't wait to try the dessert we got too!

Traditional pasty with beef gravy
Alyssa S.

Before heading up north I've read and watched reviews of this iconic pasty of Munising and it did not disappoint. The crust was not too thick and the beef and veggie mixture inside was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Definitely recommend the gravy, added extra flavor to the already flavorful pasty. Also tried the apple pie pasty which was amazing.

Awesome pasties with a great crust! The side of gravy was 1/2 cup and very tasty. We had the fudge also, and it was delicious.

The shop is actually quite large with tons of fun and weird stuff. Signs, clothing and all types of collectibles. Outside, the entire surrounding area and lot is filled with something of an Upper Michigan Museum. One that totally makes fun of the "Yopper" life style. (A Yooper is someone that lives in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan). I'll admit, some displays were kind of dumb and outdated, others I didn't even get...but I have to say it was far different than any gift shop I've ever been to. If you're in the U. P. (for whatever reason) and you have nothing to do, stop in. It's free, fun, and you probably have to pee anyway.

I entered the store and the employee was at the cash register area. About 5 mins in shopping a man abruptly entered speaking loudly and reminiscing about the last nights drinking and questioned the young lady at the cash register about why she didn't call him and talking about how she missed out on a good time etc. Then the employee and the obnoxious man embraced. I found it completely uncomfortable and inappropriate. This has been one of my favorite places in the past. Unfortunately, this business lost over $200 today because of this. I won't be back.

Located inside Palms Book State Park, this natural spring was one of the most unique and beautiful places we visited. The water is crystal clear all the way to the bottom, and you can easily see fish swimming below.

It gives you a perfect view of the vibrant underwater world -- it's honestly mesmerizing. It's a quick stop, but totally worth it. And the best part? It's dog-friendly! Definitely add this to your list if you're exploring the Upper Peninsula.

Everyone gets on the boat and someone (well a few people over the course of the trip) step up to the wheel to tow the boat across the water. The water is mesmerizing. I couldn't take my eyes off the water. Many people can fit on the boat so the wait is not too long. A day pass is $11. Definitely make this stop if you are in the area.

One of the coolest things about Fall Rock Cake is the bookstore aspect. You can browse through a variety of books while enjoying your coffee or meal.
