Restaurants in Jacksonport

4 places, each with a quick take from us — kept current as hours and seasons change.

• Island Fever Rum Bar & Grill

  Open year-round, with a shorter Thursday–Sunday schedule from about November through April.

  A rum bar and grill on Jacksonport's quiet Lake Michigan side, with a tiki garden out back called Pelican Cove — cocktails, ice cream, and live music a few steps from the shoreline. Come Saturday for the fish boil: whitefish boiled with onions and baby red potatoes over an open flame, with the boilover at 6:45.

• Scotty's Pub and Grub

  Open year-round.

  A roadside pub on Highway 57 in Jacksonport, in the space that was Mike's Port Pub until the bar manager and three partners bought it in 2025. Order the broasted chicken.

• Square Rigger Galley

  $$ · Seasonal.

  A lakefront fish boil restaurant on the quiet side of the peninsula, away from the harbor-town crowds.

• Wally's Weenie Wagon

  Hours reportedly shift by season and sources disagree on the current weekly schedule — call ahead to confirm before you go.

  A hot dog and Chicago-style eatery in Jacksonport that started as a food truck before winning over enough regulars to open this brick-and-mortar spot: real Chicago dogs and gyros off the spit, in a county built on fish boils and cherry pie.
