"Family and I stopped in for lunch around 1:15 or so; town was pretty busy but this was the third weekend in September so not as bad as peak season. Restaurant was definitely busy but we got in pretty well right away and the service was very prompt and responsive. The kids got Mac and cheese which resembled the boxed kind we have at home but which they very much enjoyed regardless. Wife got a shortrib sandwich that she said was solidly the best she's ever had. I had a fried chicken sandwich which was also very good. Honestly though, the highlight in our opinion was the onion rings! The shortrib sandwich really was phenomenal too though. The short rib was so tender as to be difficult to tell you were actually biting through meat but the flavor was undeniably smoky and altogether classic ribs. My wife let me try a small bite just so I would know for myself how good it was; not surprisingly she was correct the sandwich was amazing.Parking: Plenty of bike parking right out in front of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Menu and atmosphere are very kid friendly. Wait staff was kind and patient with my kids."

Great place on Mackinac Island with excellent beer selection and appetizers. Prices aren't bad either. We had great service in the dog friendly porch area.

Service was great. Atmosphere drinks were decent. Food was overpriced mediocre at best. Burger, Meatloaf and Onion Rings all tasted pre prepared and/or overcooked, or microwaved.

Great location when you get off the Ferry! Pet friendly on the side patio. Food Service was good! Got the Fish Chips, Short Rib Grilled Cheese and Bacon Burger. Received a 10% off from the Bike Rental Co. View menu

We absolutely adore this restaurant! We ordered the flights and they were incredibly delicious. We also tried the Flatbread pizzas, the short rib, and the pineapple and pulled pork - all of which were amazing. The atmosphere was perfect and we met a lot of friendly people. We loved it so much that we ended up going back for a second time on the same day. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this restaurant. They are extremely dog-friendly on the patio. I enjoyed trying both the beer and spirit flights. The brisket was excellent, and the upgrade from chips to French fries was definitely worth it because they were crispy and delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be returning on my next visit to the island!

This brewery has a great location on Mackinaw Island! It's just as you get off the Shepler ferry. My husband got a flight of beer and I got a cocktail. Loved the drinks! Service was spectacular! We Sat at the bar and chatted with our bartender. We ordered the burnt ends and, well they definitely weren't ends but it still tastes good. The sweet bbq sauce was delicious. They also have some cute t-shirts and other swag for sale. View menu

This was a cool little place with good service and live music. I ordered the burgar and fries. The burger left much to be desired. It seemed like a beef patty that you could get from the bulk section of a grocery store. The bun was okay, but not toasted and not great. The fries were pretty good and they give you a lot, but they are $4 extra. This place looked like it had amazing giant pretzels, so maybe that would be a better way to go.

Our group of eight was promptly seated and our server, Pearl, was excellent. The prices were high, but everyone enjoyed their meals. We tried the BBQ brisket flatbread pizza, which had very little brisket on it - we even had to ask if it was supposed to have meat! However, the standout dish was their beer cheese soup made with crème ale and garnished with chopped kielbasa. It was the best thing I had eaten on the island in 3 days. I highly recommend it!
