We ate here because we had spent a lot of time at the free museum upstairs. We shared a gluten free pizza and it was fine. (Rarely is GF pizza better than that.). You order and pickup at the counter. We were eating at an off time and the food was ready within a reasonable time. We would return if only to support the great museum.

I will confess that normally I stick to the same restaurant, but made a wrong turn and found The Bridgeview with a sign saying "world's best burger". Seeing a challenge like this, my father and I had to stop in. This place makes you feel like you stepped in the past and it's alive and well. The cook was extremely welcoming and was a blast to watch cook. The food was absolutely on point! Perfect portions at the right price! We will be stopping again soon!

I was quite surprised to see that there was a surcharge if you pay with a credit card. Mackinaw City is a tourist town and I would assume most tourists use credit cards. Although, some people don't notice the extra charge or don't care but just so you know.Our food was very good and there was alot. My bacon and hashbrowns were crispy as requested. Our server was very friendly, he said he was new. Service was a bit slow but I'd probably go again.

We went because pasties would be a first for our kids. But this is really a souvenir shop with a couple of booths and a freezer full of pasties. Order what you want and the clerk sticks them in the microwave. But the result was surprisingly good. I understand they have a second location in town with more of a dining room.

Everyone was really friendly. Our server was great. She was really friendly. It looked clean and the high chairs were clean. I ordered their Chicken Parmesan with a side salad with ranch. The salad and pasta I thought were really good. Our daughter really loved the pasta. My husband ordered the fish and chips with a side of fries and a salad with ranch He said it was okay.Dear traceyp516,Thanks so much for sharing the details of your experience. Our Ranch dressing--most of our dressings in fact--are homemade. We also make all of our own sauces and hand-batter our fish.

Our server Chris was attentive and knew his menu. We had elk tenderloin and white perch. Always go with whatâs local. Both were excellent. Nice selection of local wines Michigan Riesling was light and crisp. The decor was native Indian with artifacts everywhere. It was very nice and I was surprised to see people dressed in dirty tee shirts shorts and ball caps. They need a dress code not he restaurant fault.
