Seabiscuit Café
A horse-racing-themed eatery in a 19th-century former bank building on Main Street. The lake whitefish Reuben and whitefish chowder are well regarded.
Seabiscuit Café occupies a 19th-century former bank building on Main Street. The interior has a tavern feel with a horse-racing theme. Lake whitefish dishes earn the most praise, including the whitefish Reuben and Mackinac whitefish chowder. The menu also offers a Michigan pasty (a traditional Upper Peninsula meat pie) and lobster rolls, and breakfast includes eggs Benedict and breakfast burritos. Seating is limited and lunch often involves a wait. Staff have to catch the last ferry, so the evening menu is usually a simplified selection. Expect about US$20–35 per person.
