    We haven't eaten yet, but the fact that they ask you if you have a coupon at the door before being sat still didn't prepare me for $18.99 for 2 eggs toast and hash browns. $20 plus tax and tip for a breakfast sandwich and coffee is price gouging in my opinion. This isn't the Mackinac, island this is still the mitten so it shouldn't be over double any normal restaraunt. We will Never be back.

    We used the BOGO Coupon we received from the hotel we stayed at. First off -- there are only 4-5 menu items/meals that are included with the coupon. I would not recommend this place for breakfast without one of those coupons. $18.99 for toast, eggs, hash browns and your choice of meat. Hash brown portion was so small and super greasy. Nothing was warm except for the eggs. The sausage links were cold. Service was meh and restrooms were filthy at 8:30 am. Paper towel dispenser broken so a few rolls of paper towels on the counter. One soap dispenser was broken and the other one is placed so high that when your push it all the soap comes flying out at you! Broken toilet paper dispensers, big roll of toilet paper on the floor... sheesh! Someone hear needs to care more about these things. Will never come back to this place again.

    my over med eggs. like rubber. could not eat them.

    this is not a good restaurant. people are friendly and not a problem w the waiter though. The food just isn't good.

    Coupon they offer to get people in but is pretty useless

    Don't expect to use the buy one get one coupon they use to get people in the door. Instead expect to pay $15.99 per item for things the coupon only works on one egg meal and the waffles or pancakes which they similarly over-priced. The food was ok and waitress pleasant even as my breakfast got slammed down a bit on the table.. so can't say I'd recommend unless no other options and then expect expensive.

    Food was mediocre at best and took forever. Too expensive for quality of food. Would never go again.

    Ordered the brisket was extremely oily. Rangoon was excellent. Service was acceptable.

    My husband, who is gluten free, asked for pecan crusted walleye and the chef made it gluten free just for him.

    We are visiting mackinaw Michigan and decided to try Dixie saloon brewery.Tayla D was incredible…read moreand socially amazing a total pleasure and gem.

    What a terrible place to eat!…read more our group of 4 were seated upstairs, ordered drinks and food, then saw a friend downstairs. we invited him to come up and eat with us, and when he did he mentioned 4 others from our ski group (24) were on their way. So we went down to his table, a bigger table, and had a seat. The server came by and asked if we wanted to order, to which we said we already had ordered upstairs but were going to move down to dine with our friend in a larger table. We were told we couldn't do that and had to go back upstairs! I asked to talk to a manager. When the manager came out, without even asking what was going on, He told me we had to go back upstairs and could not join our group! When I questioned his remark, he looked at me and said " you can leave" So we did! We went to Audies a few blocks away..... MUCH better food, DEFINITELY better prices and in talking to a few locals, found out how BAD customer service is at DIXIE, and that NONE of the locals will eat there! Management doesn't care about customers, just get them in and get them out! 100% tourist trap, HIGH prices, TERRIBLE staff including the "MANAGER" This is definitely a place that will fail and rightfully so. When a business doesn't care about customer service and only the bottomed line $$$$$ word travels fast! Terrible experience and will NEVER go back!
