Restaurants near Thunderbird Inn of Mackinaw City

Interesting food choices that are delicious! Great for a special occasion given that it is pricey.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner on Christmas Eve. The staff were festive and helpful throughout, and the food was terrific. Thank you to all that served us! We appreciate that the restaurant was open for us.

Wonderful! We had an outstanding server, Nashoba, who paced out our meal perfectly. The French soup was amazing and I would absolutely order the filet again. A great bonus is the pianist in the main dining room. Will absolutely be returning the next time we’re on the island!

Everything is first rate including the well prepared food options, the professional wait staff, the lovely room and that fantastic view through those gigantic plate glass windows onto the state park marina and the harbor and lake beyond. We have visited the Island House Hotel several times over the years and have always had only the best of dining experiences at the 1852 Grill Room.

Great ribs and brisket as were the accompanying beans and cornbread. Server was very good - appropriately attentive and personable. We ate on the outside patio. No island scenery to speak of, but it was just fine if you’re in the mood for BBQ.
