DIXIE SALOON / O'REILLY'S IRISH PUB

Mackinaw City - Michigan

Mackinaw City sits at one end of the famous Mackinac Bridge and is the Gateway to Mackinac Island. It's a very tourist orientated little town with lots of shops, restaurants and hotels and we discovered the one to stay away from ... the Super 8 that faces the bridge view. There are two Super 8's in town so don't get them confused. O'Reilly's Irish Pub & Restaurant is adjoined by the Dixie Saloon which provides a wide variety of seafood a midst some beautiful woodwork decor. You can buy and fly a kite in Conkling Heritage Park while viewing the USCGC Mackinaw icebreaker. Check out the chocolate brown statue of Edgar Conkling while you're there. One of the most beautiful Bed & Breakfasts we had ever seen, Brigadoon is a block away. Heading south along either the west or east shoreline provides lots of State Parks and camping opportunities.

Full Day of Eating at Mackinaw City Michigan Restaurants

Today, we are doing a full day of eating at Mackinaw City Restaurants. We were recently in Mackinaw City, Michigan and noticed that there were several really good looking restaurants around the city so we just had to film and all day eating video.

We started off the our trip by catching a delicious breakfast at Toast A Go Go, small dinner type restaurant directly across the street from Lake Huron. Lindsay had cream cheese stuffed french toast covered in fresh fruit. I decided to get a meat omelet. The omelet surprised me with how good it actually was. Usually, all omelets taste same at these types of restaurants but this one was a bit better than most. What stood out to me was the fact it used whole strips of bacon inside the omelet.

Next up for lunch, we choose to try out Ma Ma Mia's Pizza. I had a tip from a friend that this was a good restaurant to try because not only was the pizza good but there was free Mackinac bridge museum upstairs. The pizza did end up being pretty good and the bridge museum, while small, was a pretty neat addition to the restaurant.

Finally, for dinner we tried out O'Reilly's Irish Pub. I decided to give the fish and chips a try because the menu claimed it was the number one seller at O'Reilly's. It ended being just okay. Lindsay had a perch sandwich that was actually very good.

We did end up finishing off our trip with some ice cream at the Candy Corner and some fudge from Devin's Mackinaw Island Fudge.
