    So excited to have scalawags back in Petoskey! You saved us a trip to mackinaw city! Wow! Everything was delicious! Cooked quickly. Great seating area. Clean. Tried whitefish chowder. Was delicious! Pretty sure it had clam in it too. The whitefish baskets were fabulous as usual! Gotta have extra tartar sauce and hush puppies. Yum! Yum! Yum! We will be back soon!

    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.

    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!!
