2 piece white fish with hushpuppies
Jerard W.

The Good: good location, friendly service, clean atmosphere. The Bad: my expectations. I use to come to Scalawags many years ago when it was in the same building where Crooked Tree Breadworks is now located. This was around 2009-13. This was one of my favorite food spots. The whitefish pieces were huge, juicy and delicious. So, I moved out of Michigan for 10 years, and came back 4 years ago. I was excited to make a work trip to Petoskey recently. I saw Scalawags and shared it with my friend, who equally missed it. After I placed my order and received this (see photo). It's a far cry from the past. I know inflation has hit us pretty hard and companies have to adjust, but i just can't pay for nostalgia and receive this product. It's not the same product or quality.

Clean, friendly service and most importantly, great food at a fair price. The seafood gumbo was really good as well as my whitefish.

found this little gem about seven or eight years ago when we started traveling the UP for business…read moreevents ! 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

I cannot say enough good things about the simplicity of this menu and the flavor of the food. The…read moreFrench 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.

"Lets go down to the Sunset Grill We can watch the working…read moregirls go by" (Don Henley) We enjoyed a lovely late dinner at the Macinack Grille on Saturday night July 27. We didn't have reservations, so picked up a buzzer from the hostess and joined the crowd waiting in the gift shop or lounging around at the entrance. Our wait was about a half hour, and we were seated in a rear dining room that should receive a Gold Medal for Eclectic Design. Our table was covered in laminated Detroit Tiger baseball cards, and the walls were plastered with beer company paraphernalia and Detroit sports memorabilia. Our server Aimy brought our meal -a Cheeseburger Platter ($11.99), and for me a cup of Clam Chowder ($4.49) and Shrimp Steamers ($14.99). My meal was excellent, the chowder was served piping hot and was loaded with chopped clams and potatoes. And man, oh man, were the shrimps great. They were a half pound served shell-on "Caribbean style" with lemon and cocktail sauce. Yes, they were messy to eat but were so worth the mess. Aimy helped me out with a few wet naps. We had an excellent experience here.

Ordered walleye, baked potato, fresh vegetables, and a glass of Riesling. Was served 3 real small pieces of some kind breaded deep fried fish, baked potato, a small condiment cup of coleslaw, and a glass of Pino Grigio. The waitress, while friendly enough, did not have a good grasp of the English language. And all for just under $50. This place is definitely not depending on repeat business. Compared to this,place, Long John Silvers is 5 star dining. Walked away hungry and $50 lighter. I won't be back.
