    Avocado Toast
    Ava R.

    Great spot! I got the avocado toast with 2 over medium eggs. It was so good!! Our waitress was super nice and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place was super cute! to me it was giving 50s diner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] :)

    Three cheese omelette, toast, and a side of bacon.
    Becki B.

    This may have been one of hubs' family standbys from years ago, since he remembered and wanted breakfast here while we were on the island last weekend. The food was good and service was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They've got an interesting set up of using the tables in the fudge store before it opens, for more seating during breakfast time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a three-cheese omelette, and I've already forgotten what the two kids and hubs ate. But we were able to go on about our days (them riding bikes, and me reading) with our bellies full :)

    Island Classic
    Linda S.

    Food was good! It was as you expected with breakfast. It had all the classic items at good prices and good proportion. It had a local, older diner feel. It had booth, table and bar seating. The windows also faced outside to see all of the Mackinac Island streets with the horses. Service was also fast and we got refills with coffee often.

    A classic diner.

    All of my expectations were met. Fast service. Friendly waitress. Great food. All within a short ride from the boat. If I lived here or was going to come back, this would be my goto spot

    The worst pancakes I've ever had!
    Harry D.

    Two stars because it was clean and the servers were busy but they never took a break. I'm a breakfast guy, I can eat breakfast any time of day or night. We hit the island on the 9 am ferry so we were pumped to eat some breakfast. I saw the blueberry pancakes on another table and they looked really good. Spoiler alert: they weren't! Honestly the worst pancakes I've ever had. The blueberry topping was good but I didn't care for the pancakes at all. I can count on one finger the number of times I've eaten less than half of my pancakes. The Mrs ordered the omelette and was happy with it. Granted, it's pretty tough to screw up an omelette.

    Corned Beef Hash, Eggs
    Wood W.

    Corned Beef Hash, Eggs Good, regular breakfast place. Food was pretty good. Coffee was always full. Some interesting menu choices too. Wait wasn't too bad for our late breakfast. After 10:30-11:00, the Pancake House is your only choice for breakfast food which they serve all day. Please be aware that the Chilaquiles Verde comes on a bed of corn tortilla chips. It wasn't bad just not what we expected as the menu does not mention that half your dish will be chips.

    Delicious pancakes with real maple syrup
    Cory C.

    I really enjoyed my breakfast here! They serve delicious, fresh, buttery pancakes with a generously sized little pitcher of real maple syrup. I got the roast beef hash: I appreciate the shredded hash browns (not just diced potatoes) and caramelized onions. The ribeye went well with it, although there were some fatty and grisly pieces. Service was pretty good, considering how packed the place was when we went. This was probably one of the better meals on the island for me. Definitely better than the breakfast I had at Pink Pony!

    a plate of eggs and toast
    Corina M.

    This is a small, intimate breakfast place. We waited about 20 minutes to get seated. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. There wasn't a moment when our coffee cups were less than half full! I ordered a skillet, which was HUGE and delicious. We came back here a second time during this trip.

    Eggs Benny
    Maria T.

    Arrived at 8:10ish on Sat. morning. The place was pretty full. We were seated at an 8 topper with another couple. We were told to sit at the far end of the table. They tried to distance patrons as much as possible. It's a small place though so not much they could do. We ordered the eggs Benny and cinnamon French toast. Both were delicious. I really liked the lemony hollandaise sauce on the Benny. Service was quick. We had our food and finished eating by 8:35. Reasonable prices considering the locale.

    Sub par food and sub par service. There's better food on the island. Would recommend trying elsewhere

The patty was juicy, the bun was soft and fluffy, and somehow she still managed to have room for dessert. Kids are magical like that. My husband and I both ordered the pan-fried whitefish because, come on... you're on Mackinac Island. You have to. The fish was fresh, flaky, and perfectly cooked with a light, crispy crust that let the flavor of the whitefish shine. Exactly what we were hoping for. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that feels like the perfect place to recharge before heading back out to explore the island. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. If you're visiting Mackinac, don't overthink it. Order the whitefish, steal a fry from whoever you're eating with (it's vacation, calories are on island time), and enjoy a great meal.

Our server was excellent- very thoughtful and attentive. We shared the soup of the day (chicken and wild rice) and fresh whitefish chowder. The chicken soup reminded me of a soup you have when you have a cold and make some fresh soup at home. The chowder did not have much of a fish flavor. Our entire table devoured the whipped goat cheese with pepper jam and the fried green beans, however, there were mixed reviews on the beef pastie. All in all we really enjoyed our meal here; it was the perfect casual stop for us on our trip.

So we went down to the pub and luckily we were able to get a table right away. I should note, we also chose this pub because it had Gluten Free options and we had someone with us who could only eat Gluten Free. We were provided water fairly quickly, but to order took a little bit, about 20 minutes. I would say there were only two waitstaff working on a busy afternoon. The pub is kind of small, with seating at the bar, along the sides and then two high top tables in the middle. Once we ordered our food didn't take too long to get. I ordered a Reuben, and got the vinegar coleslaw. Rueben was good, I wouldn't say great for being an Irish Pub. The coleslaw was actually cream based so based on the menu saying vinegar I was a bit surprised. Two others ordered hamburgers which they said were just ok. All in all, the dining experience was alright, nothing spectacular but because we got seated quickly and were hungry it was good for us.
