Donckers

Great food, small portions. Would come back but they split tips. What’s the point of tipping your incredible server big when the manager-who you’ve never interacted with- is sitting in the back gets a cut of it? I feel for anyone who works here.

Great food, and the waiters and staff truly cared about their jobs. Great vibe and would recommend to all families or groups of friends.

For the Restaurant: Food is pretty good, I prefer their breakfast over lunch. A little pricey. Everything is made to order so expect to wait awhile for your food. Crayons and coloring pages at every table which is fun.
For the Candy Store: Every kind of candy you can think of, and a great ice cream bar. Again, a little pricey.

While the food was good, the service was not great. The person who took off order was impatient and slightly passive aggressive. Made my family and I feel like an inconvenience instead of like patrons. Definitely not the experience we're used to having in Donckers.

Northern charm and a delightful menu make this UP treasure a must visit, plus a chocolatier on the 1st floor

I didn't eat at the restaurant but I sampled a handful of their many different chocolate treats. They were all fantastic.

Beware of the unmarked “pay” parking row adjacent to Main Street in the parking lot behind Donckers. It’s too bad getting a ticket while trying to support a local business is such an easy thing to get since the city hasn’t clearly marked the row. Great chocolate shake. Unfortunately, cold coffee, dry Mac n cheese, long wait to pay the bill, very few noodles in a cup of chicken noodle soup. I’d probably skip this for lunch next time, but I’d return for the shake.

I loved this place!! The atmosphere was so cute and the lunch on the second floor is awesome. I highly recommend the mushroom soup and the Mac and cheese! After lunch, we visited the chocolate shop and bought a pack of chocolate covered cookie caramels. They are the most amazing thing in the world!! White, milk or dark chocolate covered, every one was delicious.

Long-time Marquette friends highly recommended Donckers for lunch during a recent long weekend visit to the U.P. My wife and I were not disappointed! The food was great, the staff was attentive, and other patrons were downright friendly to us. I highly recommend.

Excellent breakfast, the pancakes were decently sized and very good. I felt that the side of bacon was a little lackluster, but it was of a good quality. Paying (tipping, particularly) was a little confusing to me since I ordered and paid before I sat down, but still received table service. The service was good, but I didn't have any cash on me so I had to go back up to the counter and have my receipt fished out to leave my tip. Good experience overall, though.
