Millie’s on Main

My wife and kids tried this little spot out for our first dinner on the island. The service was ultra friendly, prompt & knowledgable. Our youngest son is 1.5yrs old and they were very attentive to our needs. We had the smoked whitefish dip for an app, it was excellent. We ordered the 12oz strip, seafood pasta, kids burger, & kids spaghetti & walnut apple pie. Everything was perfect! I have worked in the restaurant industry for 15yrs & we where 100% satisfied.

My reception on the Island was really bad so I stopped by the Tourist Kiosk on Main Street to ask where is a good place for lunch. The girl there said to go down the street to this place, and she was right. The burger here is superb! And the service, amazing!
Karen was my server and she was the nicest person in the whole wide world. I was dining by myself and she came over and checked in on me to make sure I was ok. She made me feel so welcome in this establishment!
The food was delicious too which is another «A» in my books. I had the Olive Burger and substituted the chips with fries. It costed more but it was worth it! Those fries were fresh, hot, and crispy! Just the way I like them! None of that soggy, overly greasy fries that’s been kept warm under a lamp. No. These were hot out of the fryer. Now the best part of the meal: the burger. Get ready to drool. The juicy burger was nestled with strips of thick cut bacon, tomato, lettuce, and an olive mayo sauce in between fluffy cloud-​like brioche (i think). I’m pretty sure it was brioche because it was too buttery to be an average bun you find at the store. Due to the restricting belt I was wearing, I was unable to finish my entire meal (which probably is better for me in the long run). That combo was a melt in your mouth burger perfection!
The restaurant is super easy to find! It is right in the heart of the city, where most of the ferries from the mainland would dock, and on the same row as the shops.
So if you’re up in Norhern Michigan looking for a bite to eat, check this place out. You won’t be disappointed.

Good food, reasonably priced. The meatloaf was really good. Get a window table. Our waitress was very attentive. Right in the middle of the action.

We took the kids to the island for a day trip on the hottest day of the summer. Thankfully, this restaurant has air conditioning and we were seated immediately by a very friendly hostess. The booths are roomy and private and our server took our drink order as soon as we were seated. The prices are a bit high, but the food is good, the service is fast and friendly and the island is a tourist attraction.
Truffle fries: expensive but I was curious. They were hot and crispy shoestring fries and came with a side of blue cheese dressing.
Turkey burger: tender, juicy and lightly seasoned on a soft Brioche bun with fresh lettuce and tomato. Yum!
Kraft Mac and cheese: I mean… it’s Kraft Mac and cheese.
Grilled cheese sandwich: for the sake of this review, my son let me sample his grilled cheese and it was really good. Way to go, kiddo.
Bacon cheeseburger: not to be upstaged by a kid, my husband let me give this a taste. It was yummy. Good bacon and what appeared to be a handmade patty that was juicy.
Also, the pickles were tasty.

We had a full rack of BBQ ribs. They were ⁵⁄₅ stars. We also had the pirogi appetizer… best i’ve had. We’ll be back if we’re on this island again for some odd reason. I’m 35 years old and I was probably half the average age — In other words, this island is great if you have kids, or you’re 100.
Very good restaurant. Excellent server.

A cozy bar with nice options for dinner, especially considering the «mid range» priced alternatives. The kids menu had at least 6 options, including the real deal of Kraft Mac-​N-​Cheese for those picky eaters.
I had a grilled chicken salad with blue cheese, cakes and cherry tomatoes– a solid salad with mixed greens. The fried fish was good but the creamy coleslaw was crisp and by far the best we had on the island.
Family of 4 = ~$ 50 with no alcoholic beverages.

Very cozy nice restaurant right in the middle of main street in Mackinac Island. The service was sweet and kind. The menu was pretty good with a mix of soups, salads, sandwiches and entrees. We had a bowl of the Whitefish chowder, the Daily special of islander beef and cheddar sandwich, and a yooper Beef pastie. The chowder was very flavorful and rich. The sandwich, which had thin sliced prime rib, was juicy and tender. It had onions and mushrooms inside. It came with a side of homemade kettle chips. My pastie was very unique. It was like meatloaf wrapped in a pastry, loaded with gravy. The gravy was delicious. Without the sauce, it’s a bit dry. The carrots and potatoes inside was diced small and very good. They had a good draft beer menu too but we were so full from food we didn’t have room.

Stop here. Come young, come old!
Service is fast, and kind. Food tastes great, comes quick and decent portions for the price. Can’t go wrong with this place!
