    Had a great dinner at Scalawags! We tried the chicken basket and the whitefish basket, and both were excellent. The whitefish was fresh and perfectly cooked, the chicken was crispy and delicious, and the cheese curds were a must-have! Great food, generous portions, and a fun atmosphere. Definitely a spot we’ll be back to!

    We go here every time we're in Mackinaw city. Has always been great, good staff, good whitefish and fairly quick service. Friday night not so much. We were lucky enough to have had a hotel room within a few blocks of the restaurant so we walked to town, listened to some live music in the plaza, then stopped to get a fish dinner to bring back to our room. We waited about 40 minutes to get the food, the lady bringing the orders out was snippy, but we got the food. Get back to the hotel and it was nothing like we're used to getting from them. Tasted like salmon, not white fish. And about 1/2 the size as usual. Not impressed this time.

    My son and I came in this afternoon with high hopes after several local friends recommended this place, and it definitely did not disappoint! While the wait was a little longer than expected, the woman at the front was very kind and explained that they had experienced an issue in the kitchen that morning and were also dealing with an especially busy day. We waited about 40 minutes for our food, but the staff remained friendly and attentive despite having a line out the door. When I had a concern about the piece of fish I received, they were quick to help, which I really appreciated. It was also hot inside, so we opted to sit in the barstool area while we dined. Overall, the food, hospitality, and willingness of the staff to make things right made for a really positive experience. I would definitely come back maybe a little later in the day or earlier

    Waited over an hour and our food still hadn't been started. We watched multiple groups come and go as we waited. A staff member stood in front of our table and never even thought to question why we still hadn't ate. It seems like common courtesy to notice a group has been waiting for a long period of time and maybe check in and apologize for the long wait. When we decided to leave rather than wait any longer that is when we found out they hadn't even started our food but heard numbers after ours being called.

    Clam chowder was not cooked or thickened it was too crunchy and not one clam in my soup it had no flavor,I threw the whole thing away, what a waste because it really sounded good. The fish tacos had 1 piece of tiny fish in it that seemed to taste decent it was fresh but the piece of fish wasn't even 2 inches long so basically all I was eating was tortilla shell and lettuce, I'll never go back if that's the way their service and food is all the time I was truly disappointed especially since it was suggested to go there.
