Round Island Kitchen - Mackinac Island, Michigan

Matthew

I recently dined at Round Island and had a great experience, especially enjoying the outdoor seating with a lovely view. I ordered the whitefish sandwich, which was delicious, and the fries were outstanding. Having tried fries at various restaurants on Mackinac Island, I can confidently say these were the best!

While the food was fantastic, my interaction with the waiter was a bit awkward. He seemed to take offense at something I said, replying with, "I was just asking!" There was some tension between us throughout the meal, but I believe it was a simple communication issue, as English didn’t seem to be his first language (his nametag mentioned he was from Croatia). Despite that, he did his best to provide good service, though I had some difficulty understanding him, which added to the confusion.

The menu offers a variety of fish options, which I loved since I'm a big fan of seafood. However, I would love to see a classic fried fish and chips option. While the sautéed yellow perch and broiled whitefish sound great, I was really in the mood for some fried fish, and it wasn’t on the menu. I think adding fried perch with those amazing fries and a side of coleslaw would be a fantastic addition! People really enjoy a classic golden brown fried fish, and I hope the menu might include something like that in the future.

4/5 stars. Would eat here again and likely will when I return to the Island next year.

Amazing views and great food!! You can’t beat the view from the patio.

Enjoyed a relaxing outdoor luncheon. The food and service was excellent. The entrees were delicious and so well prepared. We had the seared salmon, house burger, lamb gyros, and herb crusted Lake Superior white fish.

The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Do check this place out if you are visiting Mackinac island.

It’s easy to select 5 stars when they truly all align that way. The food is always delicious with top notch friendly service. The dining area is comfortable with ample space for all your friends and family I can assure you. The view never gets old looking out onto the beautiful lake!

The kids portions are great and the staff is always super friendly to our kids most recently Marq, Rick and Wilder were awesome! Even the hostess are super friendly (Chrystal and Tammy) what a great crew across the board sorry if I forgot someone.

Had an outstanding experience at the restaurant and even better conversation with Wilder our server. This food is hands down the best in Mackinac!! Highly recommend the Mac and cheese if you are hungover (it’s on the kids menu). The view is peaceful and romantic. We love this hotel and restaurant so much and will be back!

The service was great. I ordered the Michigan Cherry Chicken salad and I ate all of it - it was so tasty. There was live music and the singer was very talented. The atmosphere was friendly, cozy and comfortable. The restaurant was kid friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re on Mackinac Island.
