AMAZING VIEWS!!! We live by Lake Michigan and although it can be choppy and the waves are pretty rough, it does not compare to the power of Lake Superior! But the VIEWS are what is so awesome! Wonderful walking path to view all this beauty! If you go out to see the Black Rocks, BE SURE to wear appropriate shoes!!! Very rough terrain to reach them, but worth it if you are physically able. I would definitely come back here when in the area:)

Absolutely spectacular! We always have our furbabies with us so we don’t stay for long but each time we come we discover something new and magical. Visitors beware there are certain hours the road is closed to vehicles to allow for bike and foot traffic, also that dogs are not allowed outside of the vehicle. An absolute joy to visit!

Beautiful! For those not from the area, its located in Marquette which is a very cute town. Its the perfect mix of trails and downtown. The trails are very easy, not intense so good for beginner hikers. Beautiful views of the lake and the black rocks are very cool!

Beautiful views of the lake and black rocks. A good mix of more fun and challenging hiking paths, as well as easier and serene ones through the woods. You can also drive through a one way that loops around the peninsula if you wish or walk along the road for a more direct path to the black rocks on foot. If you take some of the harder trails, be careful particularly on the side of some of the hills. Some are quite steep on the side of the path.

Stopped in over the Labor Day Weekend, my wife wanted to check out the Black Rocks. I knew nothing about them until we walked out and saw a large number of people jumping off into the water. We were not suited to indulge at this time, but it looked to be fun. Also, walked the breakwall near the ore dock. This looks like a great place to spend summer time when in the area again.

A must see when visiting Marquette. This beautiful park situated on Lake Superior has beautiful vistas, natural forested area and waters edge areas. I highly recommend Presque Isle Park.

Large and beautiful park with multiple restrooms available throughout. Bbq grills and picnic tables at different spots. Very nice scenic walks and beach access. Sand beaches and pebble beaches. There is a spot called Black Rocks that is amazing. You can make it down to the water. Water is clear and unpolluted. Truly gorgeous.

Great little museum. Several of the staff knew the history of the light and surrounding area inside and out. The WW2 submarine annex was extremely well done for such a small area. Ships store (gift store) was well stocked with both local merchandise and general lighthouse and USCG stuff.

This place was a quick stop on our way through, but it was a really great little museum. Entrance fees were really reasonable and there were a lot of great exhibits that were interesting for everyone in our group, from 4 to 74. There's a significant portion dedicated to the Edmund Fitzgerald, as well as other well-known shipwrecks, the Coast Guard life saving station and the commercial fishing industry. There was also a nice exhibit on US WWII submarines involved in turning back a Japanese fleet. Son and I both loved the working periscope as well. They also offer tours of the Marquette Light Station, but we didn't have enough time to do that as well. After seeing the museum, though, I can say I recommend a lighthouse tour too, if you have time.

Nice museum about all things Maritime, especially around the Lake Superior area and the neighboring lighthouse. The lighthouse tour was sold out so we self-toured that and enjoyed the museum for $8 each with senior citizen discount.

What a fun lighthouse tour! Very informational tour, learned quite a bit of history. Getting to be inside the lighthouse was the best part of the tour! Will definitely recommend this tour to others!

Visited on 6.22.2025. Fantastic museum with Great displays and exhibits about maritime life on Lake Superior and local Shipwrecks. KUDOS to Olivia for providing great restaurant locations in Marquette.

Very nice little local museum right by the Marquette harbor. Lots of interesting photos and artifacts with many tales of Great Lakes shipwrecks, including the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Excellent display of shipping and lighthouse history. If you're fascinated by "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" definitely go here. And check out the Fresnel lenses too. There is a separate lighthouse tour.

We went for the cheese wheel race, first timers from out of town. The location is beautiful and the facility is very welcoming. The cheese wheel should not be missed if you're in town for this annual event!

I skied Marquette Mountain yesterday after a day at Boho. I needed the therapy and got it! This hill is one of the finest in the Midwest for views, staff and runs. I was uniquely blessed with the finest snow and silky powder I have skied in about 20 years! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The runs were a pure delight. What a cool vibe. Thank you.

Better skiing than expected! Some of the runs were pretty steep, and several had some small cliffs and large boulders to navigate around. Some good longer trails. Beautiful views of lake Superior too. Fun, quirky vibe to the resort with a couple metal artworks around. Lots of stuff to do in the area and less than an hour from pictured rocks. Definitely worth a visit!

I love skiing here! The slopes are perfect, the views are stunning, and it’s so much fun! Everyone is so nice!

This laid-back gem of a mountain bike mecca deserves 11 stars! The downhill mountain biking has everything to get your adrenaline going. From flowy green and blue runs, to uber technical double black diamonds there is something for everyone! The staff is super chill and inviting. And there is a great little restaurant on mountain for your mid day refuel. The bartender recommended the Sesame crusted tuna stack and it was delicious, the perfect food to keep my energy the last 4 hrs. 20 laps in and I'm absolutely exhausted, but can't stop smiling. Bravo, keep up the amazing vibe!

Review: Mount Marquette – A Diamond in the Rough Mount Marquette is often described as a "diamond in the rough," and after being a season pass holder for the past three years, I couldn’t agree more. This hill has incredible potential, with a great variety of terrain and natural beauty. Unfortunately, its operations often fall short of what it could be—and should be. There are areas where the resort excels, but others where it consistently struggles. What Mount Marquette truly needs is a general manager who understands the ski industry—someone who skis the mountain regularly, engages with guests and staff, and leads by example. Here are a few major issues that need attention: Slope Preparation: Grass should be cut before the snow flies to ensure a clean snowpack. Proper grooming is essential—when it’s wet, groom at night to flatten it, and again in the morning to break up frozen corduroy for a skiable surface. Snowmaking Operations: Snowmaking should not happen during peak times, especially near lift loading zones. It's frustrating and dangerous when snow guns are blasting while guests are trying to load and unload. Additionally, the snowpack by the lifts should always be level or higher than the loading zone—this has been an issue, particularly with the triple chair, for three seasons. Lift Operations & Safety: Lift operators must understand that their top priority is guest safety. I’ve witnessed distracted operators—texting or flirting—while chairs knock over kids who have fallen, or failing to assist skiers struggling to unload. This is unacceptable and dangerous. Snowmaking Capacity: While it’s great that the resort has invested in new snow guns, either the equipment is undersized or the water pressure is inadequate. At my previous home resort, Nubs Nob, they could blanket the hill in 30+ inches overnight. Mount Marquette has more snow guns but takes over a week to achieve the same result. Something’s not right. Final Thought: If the management team—especially the GM—were regularly skiing the hill in different gear (to go unnoticed), they’d get a much clearer picture of what's working and what's not. First-hand experience would drive the improvements this mountain so badly needs. Mount Marquette has everything it needs to be an outstanding resort. With better leadership and attention to detail, it could finally live up to its potential.

First time here in March of 2023 and super impressed. Really enjoyed skiing at this site. Nice variety of runs and some ungroomed areas to enjoy. The staff was excellent as well. Visited again in March 2024. Tough season for all resorts, but this one still had plenty of skiing left. Staff was great! Hoping for more snow next year.

I’m in love with this place! This is a 30min hike one way. I have done it 3 times. It has iconic views, the hike is totally worth it! This last time I went for the sunrise. The photos don’t do justice. For a good sunrise, be there 30 minutes before sunrise! They have two ways to go, easy and hard ( hard way is shorter) just follow the hike path and signs. Doable for kids ( I would say 7 yrs and up) it does require to climb a bit of stairs.

Such a great day! Easy to find, excellent free parking and pit toilet available. Choices on how strenuous you want to be on your way to the top. Gorgeous hike awaits! Walkable for all ages, enjoy canopies of trees, wooden stairs with handrails and informative signs along the way. Then you reach the top and it should take your breath away! So worth it! Various wood deck platforms, facing different directions provide safe viewing and unforgettable vistas! Trust me, it’s special.

Short, easy hike (if you are good with stairs) to a beautiful view of the lake and surrounding area! We went just as the rain had stopped and caught the fog rolling in off the water- super neat.

Beautiful views from the top of the mountain. Be sure to pack a good amount of water. They have an easier path and a more challenging path up and down the mountain. The easier path is less steep but also takes much longer to climb. If you take the more difficult path be sure to watch your step. Either way, it's a fun hike up, and you're sure to have a good time.

A must stop if you can climb stairs. Fantastic views in every direction. Great place to view God's beautiful creation! I could have stayed there looking for hours.

This is such an incredible experience! The view is just beautiful when you make it to the top. Its well worth the 300 step you have to walk to get up there, just take your time, you will not be disappointed!

Absolutely stunning views from the top of Sugarloaf Mountain! 🌅 The hike is short and easy, and the lookout deck offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Superior and the colorful fall trees. The sunset here was magical — peaceful, quiet, and worth every step. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature’s beauty. 🌲💛 Golden hour over Lake Superior 💛 10-17-25

The Super Dome is an amazing space. Attended for NMU Graduation. Bathrooms were plentiful and the parking was good. Just amazed by the wooden structure and cat walks!

The largest wooden dome in the world! This is Superior Dome, home of the Northern Michigan Wildcats! The outside of the dome is very reminiscent of the Six Flags AutoWorld dome used in Flint, MI in the late 1980s and early 90s. An awesome venue that is extremely unique in name and build. If you're ever in Michigan's Upper Peninsula around football season this is a stadium you must experience yourself!

Stopped in to ck it out. Great place, indoor sports, football etc. are played here. Lots of sports history & memorabilia inside.

It's pretty cool to check out this extra large wooden structure. And it's free to enter

The Dome is a bit annoying to see constantly due to it's sheer size I won't even lie but it's a cool structure and the background (largest wooden dome) is also cool. The stadium is a cool set up for watching and playing games.

Fun to watch all the local High school bands perform!

Cool place. Amazing building. A lot of people walk there. We talked to quite a few people. Everyone was very friendly. I would love to see a football game there sometime. Also very close to the Lake Superior.

Awesome food drinks and atmosphere! If you come in from the front side, be sure to hit a left after you come down the stairs and see the host to be seated :) As someone who has previously lived in Louisiana and worked at a locally owned restaurant there… I was so happy with this food and overall experience! Their menu was so hard to choose from bc everything sounded amazing and you even got a little lesson in Cajun-Creole cooking! Definitely recommend :)

Good selection of food, although the most variety and choices are Po boy sandwiches. Still there are options for vegetarians. Portions are generous. More "northern" takes on dishes than authentic cajun /creole food, but still tasty and you can taste that things were made from scratch. Large menu of mixed drinks. Very limited options for wine and a bit more for beer, however, no beer is on tap. Service was good. I'd eat here again, but wouldn't be my first choice.

While seating is difficult to come by, but the wait is definitely worth it! We had a party of six and had to wait about 45 minutes. Restaurant was not that busy but the food and the service once you get seated are outstanding. Everything was full of flavor But not over spiced. I have been to Bourbon Street and eaten at many restaurants in New Orleans over the last 30 years and this is truly a nice slice of the big easy up north. If you’re in Marquette and have the time I would definitely recommend this for a lunch or dinner. I would not call it inexpensive, but I would say it is definitely worth the price.

Wow, where to start. Everything about Lagniappe is fantastic! Atmosphere, service, and food are all 5 stars. After spending years living and working in south Louisiana, I was extremely surprised to find a place this good in the UP! We went for dinner and then came back for the brunch. The spicy martini was delicious, and they have Abita beer on tap. The food was cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and great portions. Jambalaya, red beans and rice, blackened pork belly and butt, grit cakes, and more are all worth ordering. We ordered sides so we could try more dishes! The staff are friendly and welcoming. A must stop in Marquette!!

While this is a bit pricier than I'd normally go for, it's not outside the Marquette standard pricing and the food is more eclectic than the 10 burger/sandwich options in town. I've never been disappointed here (though nothing has topped the drunken beignets). Today I tried the red beans and rice which was seasoned great and portioned enough to be 2-3 meals. The creme brulee was also very good. The atmosphere is dark and actually quite nice to feel separated from the overall Marquette vibe. Nothing against the vibe, but it's everywhere and walking down the stairs to Lagniappe creates a nice separation.

Excellent service in this nice New Orleans themed restaurant/bar. Fried green tomatoes, collard greens, gumbo, red beans and rice, salads all very tasty. Lots of beer options if you are into beer. Ice tea was great. Cozy booths for conversation.

The service was top notch, and the food was delicious! They have a huge food and drink menu. The Drunken Hot Beignets were amazing!

Steinhaus was everything we needed. My newlywed and I arrived exhausted after our wedding the previous day and driving a very long time. We were greeted by the friendliest people you could imagine. The experience was unlike any other... after my wife's drink accidentally spilled onto her and into her dish. The team was extremely professional and helped us in every way possible. They provided her with a new dish, drink, and also gifted us some of the most fantastic desert we could have ever been blessed with. Thank you to everyone there the other night and the start to the night that we needed. (The Jagerschnitzel was absolutely amazing!)

With dinner you are given the option of a pretzel or sourdough ... what seems like such a simple query but turned into a dilemma I will always have to face when visiting the Steinhaus because they are both EXCEPTIONAL! The schnitzel, wurst platter and cheesecake all came out deserving as well, but I will never forget the bread and pretzels, seriously. The maple mustard, the sea salt butter, it just makes for a too close to call face-off I will always remember.

Better than the food we had in Germany! EVERYTHING was done to perfection, from the light toast on the pumpkin seeds in the salad, to the light buttered crisp on the spaeztle. Cheesecake and flourless chocolate cake both delicious!

Service was very good and friendly. The bread and salad tasted good. The mustard with the pretzel was hand made. The entree tasted good but had an unusual texture. Over all a positive experience

I flew into Marquette for work and decided I was craving German food. I ordered the house salad to start and the bratwurst. The portions were very generous and I was left satiated and a felt good about my meal. I don’t often feel good but this was a good meal.

Oh what a fun place to dine! It’s been a few years since I have eaten here, and I’m happy to say it was just as good. I had the special of the day- Flank steak with chimichurri sauce, polenta and asparagus my companion had the pork schnitzel and house made spatzel and red cabbage. Loved the homemade pretzel and delicious salad. Nice wine selection and excellent service.

This place deserves more than five stars! It was so delicious! We started with refreshing drinks and finished with a three course dinner. The pretzel with beer cheese was divine. The salad was fresh and tasty. The main dish was soooo good!! I only wished it was closer to my house!! It is also located in an old building (bank?) that had character of itself. The restaurant decor and murals were also fabulous! Just go!!!

My family went here about a month ago when we were on vacation and loved the retro diner atmosphere! Service was great and all the lunch items we ordered were really good. My kids loved the little chocolate and souvenir shop attached. Only critique is that the menu seems a little pricey for what it is, but it's definitely worth checking out for brunch or lunch (or at the very least, just check out the chocolate shop)!

Cute little place in town. Nice server and good service. I got the French toast and it was great. Very flavorful and crispy bread. Soany choices on the menu, I might have to go again on my vacation!

Spectacular old fashioned candy, ice cream shop, and cafe! Right in downtown Marquette! Fabulous selection of chocolates! Super fun ice cream choices! Did not see or eat in cafe but heard it is great! Very helpful and friendly employees!

Great place! The space is wonderful. The service was great. I heard the breakfast burritos were the best and they did deliver. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that my hashbrowns were cold and the burritos I got wasn't exactly what I ordered. I asked for bacon and got sausage. We will return and I expect to raise that star next time.;-)

Went here for breakfast. Big mistake. Ordered an omelet. What came was a pre cooked dry egg tortilla folded in half with cooked filling which was ok. Bread was ok, no butter.

I’ve lived near the Marquette area all my life, but this was the first time I ended up eating lunch here. I was with my girlfriend and she had a burger and I had a Chicken sandwich. When our food had arrived, I noticed my girlfriend’s burger was cooked medium well, yet she ordered it medium rare. When I ate my food I was unimpressed. The focaccia bread was overdone and the sandwich tasted bland. By the end, we had a check for $39, just for a burger, a sandwich, and kettle chips. About a half an hour after we left, I noticed I had some abdominal pain. To spare readers details, I ended up with food poisoning. Overall I had a terrible experience, and if you’re looking for a good place to eat, I’d go literally anywhere else. The chocolates were good though.

I recently visited Donckers at 137 W Washington St, in Marquette, MI. I had a very nice breakfast at Donckers. It's located downtown above a candy store.. I ordered a blueberry pancake and it was delicious. My coffee was filled as needed. It was a very nice breakfast area that had a nice second floor view of the downtown and lake area..I had a nice sunrise as I waited for breakfast. A very good place to go to.

I stopped on a busy summer night! I made a last minute reservation online when I realized, I would be unable to get in to any other place. They actually seated a friend and I an hour before our reservation. The waiter was hilarious and easy going. The food was delicious, how was this not our plan A? We ordered the pasta and salmon. Both had amazing fresh flavor. We also got the dill cocktail and honey dew cocktail. We’ve never had anything like it and we loved it!

Delft bistro had an amazing vibe and delicious food. The repurposed old theatre renewed as a two story restaurant - still using the movie screen for all patrons to watch movies such a marvelous idea! Our movie was Shrek! The food menu was filled with various tasty options and conscious of all dietary restrictions! Hefty portions - even the small bites and tastes were quite big. I recommend the falafel bites, hummus, and short rib bites. The Romenasco and Chicken Piccata pastas were good as well, but I’d encourage others to explore other options on the menu. On Thursdays they offer a date night special - 2 pastas for $40 & $10 off a bottle of wine. They also had jazz musician playing that evening! The downside to this meal was the very poor service and our waitress who was ill (sniffling at our table all evening). We noticed that the waitress was overwhelmed, helping 8 tables by herself. She kept entering our table number incorrectly into the POS system resulting in us receiving other tables drinks and food. All together, the restaurant seemed to lack communication. For instance, the staff not mentioning they were out of pita until after we already received our hummus. It is clear that this restaurant is understaffed and may benefit from better hostess, kitchen, & waitstaff communication. Most of all - I hope management is encouraging their employees to take off if not well - as I woke up with the same sniffles as my waitress this morning…

I visit Marquette a few times a year and The Delft is my first choice for snacks, drinks, but especially dinners. These photos are collections from the menus over the last few years, all stunners! Innovative and interesting cocktails always delight me (I dream about the cigarettes and coffee negroni often). The spirits and beer selection is exciting and just the right amount of options. The staff have always steered me to a wine pairing with my dinner I have enjoyed. Occasionally, I even splurge on dessert and I'm always happy I did! I often sit at the bar since I am solo, but when I catch a dining room seat to enjoy the screen, its fun to jump into whatever movie the crew is hosting. The Delft is one of my favorite places to get quality drinks and food where you can genuinely see and taste the creativity and delight the staff and management put into every menu. Since I typically travel seasonally, I have the pleasure of trying the rotations in the menus. I am always excited to get back and see what's new! With love from Duluth, MN. Thanks for the Vikre love over the years!

I visited twice during my time in Marquette. First, I went for breakfast and ordered a bloody mary and the tofu scramble. The bloody mary was really good! I had high hopes for the tofu scramble. Honestly, I was impressed they had it! They have quite a few vegan options on their menus. The tofu scramble was not that good though. I was surprised to see sliced carrots in the scramble - a lot of them. There was also kale and I think mushrooms as well. I felt like there was only 1/16th of a block of tofu in this scramble. They plate it so it looks like there's a lot, but it's just the top layer. Tofu is the cheapest protein so I'm not sure why they're stingy on the amount in the dish. The carrots did not make sense and there was way too many. The tofu scramble was seemingly unseasoned. The kale wasn't the right leafy green for this scramble either. It wasn't massaged or softened much, so it was not enjoyable to eat. The hot sauce gave the dish more flavor. I do feel like they put a lot of thought and effort into their vegan dishes, but the tofu scramble needs to be reworked. I came back for dinner later in my trip, and it was much better. We ordered the falafel bites, harvest salad, and romesco pasta to share. Everything was incredible. If anything, the sauce that came with the falafel was too sweet and not really a sauce for falafel. The salad and pasta were delicious - no notes!

Amazing place in the heart of Marquette. Lovely ambiance. Very unique menu options. Nice vegetarian options too. I had the coconut curry with Tofu and it was delicious. The smash burger was so juicy and more than filling. Definitely a must try place.

It was our first visit to The Delft .. we'll definitely come back! We had a delicious meal (I had the lamb ragu which was amazing) with friendly, efficient service. Loved the atmosphere, too: our waiter explained the history of the building.

Great vegan options! Got the tofu scramble and it was flavorful and fresh. The tofu was cubed rather than scrambled but the flavor was good. The hummus appetizer was delicious as well! Served said they use local and organic ingredients. Great service, fun atmosphere. Has outdoor seating.

Great little eatery with house beer and a nice menu. I had the ham, Brie, and green apple panini and my wife had a burger. The panini was perfectly portioned and toasted well. The burger was big and juicy. The onion rings were tasty and my fries nice and crispy. It was super busy but we were seated promptly through sheer luck. The wait after we were seated was up to an hour. A bit loud but not too bad. Lots of cool pictures, art, and decor pieces. Good food and decent prices. Worth a stop if you have time and need some good food.

I wish Google Maps allowed for half stars cuz I’d give this 2.5. Chose this place for lunch as it’s close to NMU, we were hungry, & had some time to kill. I originally wanted a burger but there was hardly a selection so I opted for fish & chips. Figured it would be pretty decent given we’re next to a lake? It was sub-par at best, very bland on its own, but the lemon juice, malt vinegar, & tartar sauce helped. My wife got the salmon burger which was their special for the day but it wasn’t even fresh salmon & she said it was just alright. Basically we were both pretty disappointed with our meals. Service was fine.

Wonderful restaurant in Marquette! Had a spectacular Caesar salad with whitefish! So delish! Best Caesar I’ve had in ages! My son had one of the best sandwiches I have ever tried: whitefish sandwich! So delicious! Service was fast and friendly! Restaurant has a really great vibe! Very fun!

I was new to the area and were recommended by a local. The place was exactly what I was looking for cozy and older with views to the water. The food was delicious from the new dishes like whitefish soup and bites to an old favorite of French onion soup. Our new favorite place!!

Four friends from Kansas University Law School and an internationally known author and his wife, who happen to live in Marquette, met for a Friday-night dinner in September 2025. Earlier that day we all did our book shopping at Snowbound Books on Third Street, and followed that visit by dining at The Vierling. As other reviewers have noted, the place is busy, and reservations are recommended. And as others have noted, the food is very good. Around our table we had soup (the whitefish chowder (cup, $5.75) came out piping hot – perfect with a dash of black pepper and Tabasco), some salads (gluten free, $5) – I wished someone would order the whitefish bites, but not this time. While all of us had dined at Vierling in the past, this was the first time our group was seated in the space immediately adjacent to the bar, accessed through a walkway. The space includes what looks like a still for beer or spirits, and impressive and imposing sight. We arrived at 5:30 p.m., when the space was empty, so sound levels were good. By 6:30 sound levels went up, probably due to our own conversations as well as those around us. Three of us ordered the locally sourced whitefish (grilled & lightly seasoned, $21); others ordered the grilled salmon ($21), and the beer-battered cod basket ($16.75). Those of us with room left after the entrée shared servings of chocolate peanut butter pie ($6.50, with a crushed Oreo crust, whipped peanut butter filling and fudge ganache top). Service was prompt, friendly, and everyone’s order was filled without flaw. We tend to talk a lot, and I think we probably overstayed our reservation when our host explained, at close to 8:30 p.m., that the table had been reserved for another seating that evening. Our host was courteous and diplomatic, and I’m glad she spoke up, as we really did occupy the space for close to three hours on a very busy Friday night. Hope to do it again next time we’re all in Marquette, but maybe be a bit more mindful of the length of our stay.

The food here was exceptional, and the white fish here was everything — totally worth the wait! Be warned though, you may need to call ahead of time to reserve a spot since this place is very popular.

Service was great. Would recommend making a reservation. The food was good. The bread on the panini was very hard. The portions are very large. Enough that everyone got 3 meals out of it
