The Chuckwagon

Great food and reasonably priced especially considering where you are. It was under $25 for two of us, and the food was fast and really good. I love a good pretzel roll, and theirs didn't disappoint. The flapjacks were excellent too. Highly recommend.

It wasn't busy when we came here so the service was fast.

Had a BBQ burger here and it was really good. It comes with chips but we upgraded to fries at the price of $4, which were not great. I think because it was slow, they must have been sitting for a bit. Maybe if it's busy, the fries would be more fresh. Not a big deal, the burger more than made up for it.

Great place for a quick eat on a budget. One of the cheapest places to get breakfast on the island. You can also order your breakfast to go if you don’t want to eat there. The diner is small but the tables turnover quickly

Came here for breakfast and it did not disappoint. Doesn’t look like much but will come back here every time I’m on the island. Food was cooked great, and good portions. Highly recommended.

Awesome place!! The burgers are amazing, and so is the staff! Made conversation with the owner while he was cooking, and it made the experience that much better. Great people work here!! Best place to eat on the island!!

The food was amazing! The staff was so nice. Stopped in for breakfast the first day on the island and enjoyed the experience so much we kept going back every morning.

Atmosphere: Homely and warm
Food: One of the better burgers and sandwiches I had in the region
Seevice: Polite and friendly

Had the blue cheese burger and absolutely loved it. Patty is delicious and the cheese adds a good depth and contrast to the dish.

Note breakfast items are not served during the lunch period so come for the morning slot if you want to try their breakfast items. Place is really popular and a queue will start to form from about 15mins prior to opening time. For bigger groups there's 2 tables that accommodate up to 5 people so do come earlier.

This is not a hold your pinky out while sipping tea place, this is an honest to goodness breakfast diner. It's really small but they are fast. You can watch all the cooking from the bar easily. The people working were fast and efficient like a well oiled machine. The food came out fast considering how busy they were. Crispy hash browns and bacon, good coffee. If you drink coffee the special is a good value. A great diner for breakfast.

Small diner style restaurant with a lots of seating and good for lunchtime. Great food, very fast service, and friendly staff. Highly recommend next time you find yourself on the island ☺

This little diner on the island is absolutely delicious!! The entire family loved it. Quaint too. We went twice on our 3 day stay. Breakfast & lunch are awesome! Get that early, cause there is a definitely a wait for both breakfast & lunch.

The food was cooked in front of us and fast. It was delicious and the vibe inside was friendly. Everything on the island is expensive, and tho this was also, it was 100% worth it.

Best breakfast spot on the island. Small, just a few seats, but they serve food fast! Worth the wait. Fun to watch the grill cook work. Delicious food.

Simple yet yummy fare. Come in and seat yourself. Get here early, though, or you'll be waiting in line. Had the cinnamon yesterday and the Old Number 6 this morning. Both were delicious. Recommended.

The best breakfast on the Island! Lunch isn't bad either. Seevice was fantastic! They have a great blackbean burger. Eat in dining space is small. Call ahead for carryout.

Great food, fast service, fun atmosphere. Almost got pulled into a conversation among the staff, discussing the color of the new window valances. It was amusing.

It is my families first vacation to the island and we have 14 of us! Not only did they get us seated right away, but they also had such GREAT ENERGY and expediency. She got our orders right away and the cooks had their hands flying. We got our food in record time, had excellent (and fun) service, and the food was incredible. None of our burgers were overcooked. The Snake burger is awesome. Thank you for being great! Will definitely highly recommend and refer.

The Chuckwagon Restaurant was possibly the best food I have had on the island. A small space especially due to limited seating with COVID-19. That being said the tasty food delivered more than expected. I would definitely recommend The Chuckwagon for a burger and chips. The Mushroom and Swiss burger was just what a burger should be. We visited later in the week for breakfast. The Chuckwagon does a great job with the morning meal.

I saw the great reviews for The Chuckwagon on Google Maps and mentioned the place to my brother while we were walking around Mackinac Island. A stranger walking by overheard me and said, “The Chuckwagon is the best breakfast on the Island!” So we decided to go! We had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated because we had a party of four but the wait staff was great about continuously coming out to the line to announce what they had available. If you’re by yourself, a party of two, or willing to split you party into two’s, you’ll be able to be seated much more quickly. I had the Corned Beef Hash and Eggs and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dish if you are a corned beef fan. I thought the prices were much better than some of the other restaurants on the Island especially considering the quality of the food. The wait staff was friendly and it was evident the entire staff was running a very efficient ship. If I could give more than 5 ⭐ I would! A special shout out to the stranger who encouraged us to go. One of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten. Thank you Chuckwagon!

It was quick service. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The food was out quick and hot from the grill. I had the best grilled cheese ever. I recommend the granny grilled cheese. My husband really enjoyed his patty melt.
It’s a small dinner and was a little intimidating at first with cozy close seating. The staff was very welcoming and made it a fun atmosphere. We will try to pop in for breakfast before we leave tomorrow.

The staff is always very nice and provide great service. The food is affordable and consistently good.
