Like most dining places on the main street on Mackinac Island, this place was tiny with limited seating. We sat by the bar and there was cold air or a draft hitting me the entire time. The bartender started out nice but disappeared for the rest of our meal. The portions are rather small, as in their entrees are the size of appetizers. At least it tasted decent, not great though. Overpriced. Decor is nice and I think it's one of the classier places on the island.
Review Source:We were disappointed to find Chuckwagon closed at 3:00, but we were so glad that it did! Nice wait staff, oldies on the radio, and very clean. I recommend the macaroni cheese balls, the chicken salad sandwich...and the burger is pretty solid. The sweet potato fries are fat wedges of goodness.
Review Source:This place was one of the better eateries on the island. The greeter was a little ticked that we didn't want to sit at a ledge behind the bar seats, but she apologized before she seated us at a booth blaming it on a stressful morning. No biggy.
My wife and I shared two lunch entrees. The lobster and crab seafood sandwich and the open-faced gyro.
The seafood sandwich was good, there was ample lobster on it and the bread tasted like it was freshly made, it was a little light on the herbs. I think it would have had it even better if they put a bit more in to cover the powerful mayo flavor of the filling.
The open gyro was acceptable, nothing you can't find down-state in the Detroit Metro area. The waitress said the meat was homemade, but I don't know if I want to buy that until I see it. Whatever they want to call the sauce, be it Tzatziki or something else, was kind of tasteless. The side salads were normal fare and the "horseshoe" fries (or whatever they were call) were good. Â
Everything else about the place was nice and pleasant. Not a bad place for decent food.
