The Beach House at Michigan Beach at Charlevoix, Charlevoix, Michigan.

Don't be fooled by the concession stand appearance of this historic stone building at the beach in Charlevoix. You can definitely get sno-cones and hotdogs, but the menu is way more extensive and includes many vegetarian options. We three had burgers, fries, and pickle chips. The burgers were meltingly tender, made with local Olson's beef. The fries were crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, just as you would expect, and look to be handcut. They come in a paper sack and are more than enough for three to share. You can eat on the patio, but we took ours to go, as there's a lovely shaded pavilion just a short walk away with a view of the pier, the beach, and the lake. I would strongly recommend a stop at this hidden gem in Charlevoix the Beautiful, particularly if you're on Park Street looking at the Mushroom Houses or standing by the channel watching the boats go in and out of Lake Michigan.
