Mackie's - Central Elgin
Mackie's
Description
Mackies beachside restaurant is a popular spot for families, offering traditional "chip stand" vibes. While the fried perch and famous orange drink are hit and miss, the fries are a standout with their own sauce. The friendly staff and ample seating make it a convenient spot for a quick meal, especially if you have kids who will enjoy the indoor games. Some have noted issues with food quality and the lack of cleanliness on the benches, but overall, Mackies remains a favorite for those looking for fast food on a beach day.

We have been to Mackies a few times over the years, and will not ever go back after our latest trip. The fries were under cooked, the sauce for them is awful. Enough said. Not the institution it used to be, and very disappointing.
Mackie's is famous for their hot dogs and orangeaide and this combination on a hot day on the beach is not only fresh, tasty and affordable; but, not expensive. A family tradition for 3 generations now.
Today we ordered the perch and fries special of 4 pcs perch with fries. all food items were delicious and the special sauce was used as dip for my fries--yum yum. of special note, no greasiness with either the fries or the perch.
