So amazing! What a wonderful surprise while we were Touring Mackinac Island in the horse carriages. We stopped & got off at Fort Mackinac to explore & soak in more history. We were getting hungry & decided to see if this a snack bar. Tremendous surprise! We found a Tea Room run by the Grand Hotel! What!!! Everything we ordered was perfect & delicious! We all loved our lunches. The mountain top view was fantastic! God has blessed us with such magnificent views here on earth. The service was terrific!! Such a sweet surprise!! Be sure & enjoy the hot Cherry Cobbler with ice cream when you venture up there! Just wonderful!!

The staff were absolutely friendly and helpful. We got the Bratwurst on pretzel bun off the menu and they are delicious! The scenery is outstanding, you are able to see downtown Mackinaw Island, and the marina from one location. Highly recommend!

Food was really good and views were amazing! The chicken salad sandwich (pictured) was delicious and the smash burger (pictured) was great too according to my girl

Really a very nice place, the food is good, for my part I recommend the scones and the chicken sandwich. The main reason why it is completely worth visiting is because of the views, incredible. Nice place to spend a family time.

The lunch offerings were fresh and delicious; we ate outside on a cute balcony overlooking the harbor - a beautiful view. The staff members were excellent; professional in every way. It was one of the highlights of our time on the island.

Best restaurant view on the island. We had a light lunch with a few appetizers and some drinks. The charcuterie board and pretzel bites were very good. The Grand Hotel is who runs the Fort Tea Room.

We've enjoyed lunch sat the Tea Room at Fort Mackinac on several occasions. This is owned/operated by the Grand Hotel, so food and service are always top notch. On this visit we had the Michigan Cherry Chicken Salad sandwich and a BLT w/Smoked Turkey sandwich, chips, and soft drinks. Both sandwiches were delish and the view from the tea room is spectacular (see the photo). After lunch, we wandered around Fort Mackinac--lots of improvements have been made that make this a tourist-friendly spot. The "soldiers" at the Fort are well informed, entertaining, and make it a "must see" for everyone. Lots of history in those old buildings. The day we were there the Girl Scouts were our hostesses throughout the Fort and they did a wonderful job welcoming and answering questions. Kudos to all!
