Fletchy's Superior BBQ

Fletchy's Superior BBQ sits on Coast Guard Point at 22020 Coast Guard Pt in Grand Marais, Michigan, just minutes from the cliffs of Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The restaurant overlooks Lake Superior, giving diners a sweeping water view while they enjoy classic Mid‑American barbecue. Inside, reclaimed timber walls, vintage fishing nets, and a stone fireplace create a rustic yet comfortable atmosphere reflecting the Upper Peninsula’s logging heritage. The menu features slow‑smoked beef brisket, dry‑rubbed baby‑back ribs glazed with maple‑chipotle sauce, and pulled pork sandwiches topped with local coleslaw. Cedar‑plank salmon smoked over oak chips adds a lakeside twist for seafood fans. Signature items include the “Lake Superior Smokehouse Platter” of brisket, ribs, smoked chicken, and corn on the cob, served with house‑made pickles and baked beans. Chef Mike Thompson, a former pitmaster from Marquette, oversees the wood‑fire operation and selects the hardwoods that give each cut its flavor. The bar offers Upper Peninsula craft beers such as Black River IPA and a curated list of Michigan wines. Fletchy's welcomes guests daily from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a relaxed $‑$$ price range for families and weekend groups. Outdoor deck seating lets patrons watch the sunrise over the lake in summer or enjoy a fire pit in winter. Whether you’re a local craving a hearty plate or a traveler exploring the Pictured Rocks shoreline, Fletchy's Superior BBQ delivers authentic smoky cuisine with a uniquely Michigan view.
