Ida Mae’s Portage Deli is a favorite destination spot open year round, located just down the road from historic lighthouses and across from Presque Isle State Harbor, with a nearby beach. It offers artisan pizza and sandwiches, gourmet fries, amazing BBQ rib dinners, and a Friday fish and shrimp fry. The food is great, with fantastic ice cream flavors like s'mores and brownie batter available at the ice cream window. The store also carries a fine selection of wine, beer, spirits, smoked fish, spread, Cherry Republic items, Fustini’s oils and vinegars, resort wear, and locally-made souvenirs. It is a great store and convenience store with friendly and helpful staff.
