My boyfriend and I are working and living on the Island this summer. We've made it our goal to go to every shop and try every restaurant. Today we ventured into the Seabiscuit, and like others have said, it has a nice atmosphere. The lady who greeted us was very nice, and this is about all the positive I have... More

Nice looking place, comfortable seating. I had the lobster/shrimp salad sandwich. It was more shrimp than lobster but pretty good. Tasted like canned shrimp - too bad it wasn't fresh shrimp. My date had the pulled pork sandwich - it was yummy. I also had sweet potato fries which were excellent. Good service too.

Great meal here, drinks, etc., but the service was a bit slow, and they weren't exceptionally busy! Food was great, reasonably and intimate ambiance...would go there again!

I have eaten here before and it was just as good as I remembered. It is a little on the smallish side and most tables are joined together, but the casual atmosphere is very appealing - I LOVE the equine decor!

Service here was awesome! It is a very small restaurant, so there was a wait. The host felt bad that we had to wait and he bought my husband and me a drink from the bar to have while we waited. All of the staff were very friendly and we had a great time talking to all of them. They... More

We looked forward to lunch at Seabiscuit Cafe on our departure day from the Island, but were shocked at the prices. We ended up sharing a lunch and the serving was very skimpy and (we felt) over priced. We have not eaten there again and probably won't.

This is one of our favorites on the island. Food is more creative. We have eaten here numerous times and quality is consistently good. As we are a group of ladies we really like being able to just order a large selectiton of appetizers and share them around, and this place has lots of good options. Staff is very nice.

We were at Mackinac a little late in the season, so many restaurants were already closed. We found the Seabiscuit cafe was open a little later than most and had a limited menu at 9pm when we were there, but the food was delicious!

Could have been end of season, but customer service didn't really seem to be priority here. The menu looked great, but what we ordered was voted kind of not what we were expecting. We ate lunch and dinner on the last day of our trip, and lunch was a cheese burger with haystack fries...or at least the menu said haystack,... More
