About
Audie’s Restaurant has been owned and operated by the Jaggi Family since 1974 and a local favorite since the Bridge was built. We do things pretty much the same way we did back then. Our baker, Heidi , bakes the breads, dinner rolls, desserts and pies. Chef Nick oversees the kitchen where Dwayne makes our homemade soups and sauces, we grind our own beef for burgers, slow roast the Prime Rib and create the daily specials. Today, you might find the third generation of the Jaggi family at the front door, welcoming you in or perhaps in the kitchen, following in the footsteps of their father and grandfather. Here at Audie’s, hospitality is a family tradition.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went last night for our wedding anniversary. We made reservations for the Chippewa room and we arrived a little early but were seated immediately as they weren’t busy this time of year.
Our waiter was wonderful and very attentive. We each had a glass of wine, large pour.
I had the ceasar salad which was large and tasty and Chicken Philadelphia which was wonderful! My husband had a large side salad and the sautéed lake perch which he loved. Dinners came with yummy warm bread.
They gave us a complimentary Michigan maple sundae for our anniversary!
For the service, large menu and quality of their food it’s very reasonably priced! Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed.

My Wife and I came for dinner on July 5th, just after 5PM and had not made a reservation, as it was our first time and we didn't realize how popular the Chippewa Room at Audie's is. Fortunately, since it was just the two of us, the hostess was able to get us to one of their small tables. Larger tables were already reserved and other large parties and couples were already seated. Our servers were excellent and very helpful with explanations and suggestions, and the friendliness and efficiency was absolutely top notch. The food, from the soup and salad to the entrée selection was amazing and prepared perfectly ( filet mignon and whitefish are obviously specialties here) and we will be back to try other items in the future. Reservations are definitely needed here, unless one arrives very early and lucky to find a timeslot/ table that is open. The Native American artifacts and art that are displayed with wildlife art and such make for a museum type experience while gazing around, waiting for one's order.

It’s off the downtown path but worth the visit. Food was inexpensive, excellent and our server Alyssa was very sweet and accommodating, coming up with various suggestions for us. Thank you!! The overall ambience reminded me of those family restaurants from the 70’s and 80’s that you just can’t find anymore.

We went for an early dinner with 11 people,. Waitress was not very friendly,. Food was okay but it all came out at the same time, french fries were cold. Waitress was very slow being out requested condiments, mayo,taarter sauce,,,. We our bills came my husband and I were charged $2 for splitting a meal, this seems to be a common Up Noth thing. I would not have care if they had split our meal on two plate or at least brought out a second plate. The waitress didn't even offer a second plate and I didn't ask since she was so slow bring any other items out.

We placed an online takeout order while staying in a local hotel, and wish we had eaten at the restaurant. Our order was ready when specified and they use text messaging to let us know our order was ready for pickup.
As a takeout in the middle of winter, our food was not as warm as we would have liked. Our order was incorrect, which would have been fixed had we been at the restaurant. One food container was labeled "Stuffed Shrimp & Rice Pilaf", but contained Coconut Shrimp and Rice. The rice was okay - on the cool side and dry. A three cheese grilled cheese sandwich was also ordered, which was okay, but lacking in cheese flavor.
We ordered desserts, which were also okay. The Turtle Pie was good as was the Mud Pie, and while I did not NEED more, the Mud Pie portion was about 1/2 the size expected for the price. Summary - wish we had eaten IN and wish our hotel room had a microwave.

We meet our son and his wife here for dinner. It took 45 minutes to get our cold food, and two of us had to keep asking for our sides, which we never got. We ordered drinks, and mine came out really strong, but everyone else had to ask for extra shots. I think they put all the tequila in mine. The fish had a weird taste to it and didn't eat. No one could finish the food, and the waitress never asked if there was a problem. Our bill was over $200. Then they came out with a birthday ice cream, which was meant for the couple before us. Eat at your own risk!

I had to compliment every person I could as we walked out. I’m sure my wife was cringing but idc lol.
Keep in mind, we walked in and they closed in 30 minutes. Not only did they make us feel welcome, they also prepared and served us some of the most delicious dishes I’ve had in an age. They gave us advice on the menu and were patient with us staying after they closed. This entire city is amazing but when you do come here, this is a must.
Everything and I mean everything is made from scratch. It’s truly an experience and it is more budget friendly than any other restaurant open in the non-peak-season! 10/10! Going back again!

Recommended by the Hotel over the road (just the other side of I.75) - shades of Fine Dining, but local and I did not fancy driving another inch, so we went.
They had a table so we went through to their bar for a drink & look at Menus. Too many dead creatures on the walls for my tastes, but an entertaining, engaging, & friendly Barman kept us amused.
Then in for Dinner. We do not now recall exactly what we ordered, but we did abandon our usual Rule to not have Fish when more than 100 mile from the seas, on account of the sizable ponds beside the City.
Good call, since we had one of the best seafood meals in years. Piping hot, beautifully cooked/prepared, smelt and looked divine and al dente vegetables - Excellent.
Thank you Chef.
Thank you also to the rest of the Waiting Team - great service, good wines
and good value for money
Doesn't get much better than that

Audie's offers your basic array of entrees, sandwiches and burgers and does many of them quite well.
My wife and I each had fish options, hers "Parmesan Encrusted" and mine the "Special Lunch." They were ample and satisfying. My wife also enjoyed the Strawberry Shortcake dessert, although the strawberry sauce was of you basic "out of the can" variety.
We each had a drink to start, though I much admit both of them tasted rather weak and watered down.
Our service was noticeably slowed down by a large table next to us, each member of which wanted separate checks.
Audie's isn't elegant by any means (we especially enjoyed the placemats with cocktail pictures on it), but we weren't disappointed, either.

We have ate here a few times and has been good. Ok it’s a Monday night 10/9/23 I was seated and waited 10-15 minutes for waitress. Hostess grabbed my beer. Pork chops VERY thin not 5 ozs each. Roll’s horrible, mashed ok.
Can’t screw up a can of beer.
Was debating on going to Darrows for first time , should have. They had a line out the door
$17.29 high for thin pork chops
Darrows next time

We are sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your most recent experience at Audie's. On this bank holiday we had a rush of guests all come in about 7 pm which did put us a little behind. Perhaps we would have been better to have some folks wait to be seated, but with no indoor waiting area and the terrible weather outside we hated to do that! We are sorry it took us a bit to get your order, but we are glad our staff works well together and the hostess was able to bring you a drink while you waited. We do try to offer a good value with our homemade foods, and are sorry you were disappointed in your meal this time. We appreciate you dining with us, and taking the time to share your feedback.

We have been going to Audie's for years! In the past it has always been breakfast when we'd stop and the food, staff, and atmosphere are so welcoming! This trip we stopped for lunch with family and once again we're amazed with the experience! Our waitress Erica was more than acomadating, constantly checking on us and even surprised me with a special addition to my meal! Serving sizes are generous and prices are resonable. You'll not be disappointed at Audie's Restaurant!

We asked our ferry shuttle driver where to eat in town and he thought a minute and said Audie's. So we went there the next evening. The day before we ate fresh white fish and it was delicious, so I ordered it again at Audie's. It wasn't quite as good, but still delicious. We live in Ohio and don't get to eat fresh fish. So I had it on back to back nights. Our service was just ok and my wife ordered soup and our waitress brought her the wrong soup initially. Waitress also forgot the homemade bread that came with my meal initially.

This restaurant had been recommended to us by the hotel we were staying at. Everything started fine, the server was doing a very good job. Things changed, it took quite a bit of time for our meal to come out, The waitress apologized as it seems our meal got delayed because of a large group in another part of the restaurant, we never saw any large group at all. The manager did give us half off our meal. My wife's whitefish sandwich was ok, my chicken cordon blue was horrible, It was more gristle than chicken. I am not one to complain, but I all but called the manager, it was that bad. I would never eat there again.

Ate in the family room for lunch. They also have a higher end Chippewa room that is open for dinner and takes reservations. Overall, this is probably the best place to eat in Mackinaw City and the service is extremely friendly.
Extensive kids menu that has the usual offerings, plus offers a kids whitefish or perch meal. All kids meals are reasonably priced at 7.50, except for the fish, which is $10.
For the adults, you can get a nice fish or beef entree or just have a sandwich. Big menu that should please everyone.
Don’t miss the broiled whitefish entree, which is a fish native to Northern Michigan and a specialty of the area. Cooked perfectly here and had a nice seasoned flavor.
Restaurant is located just off the James St exit (last exit before the bridge) and is set a little bit away from the fudge and t shirt shops on Central Avenue.
