Traveling back to Michigan. Came upon this cute little diner. Breakfast was awesome, the cook knew hiw to make basted eggs. Everytime our waitress went by asked if eveything ok, and it was her birthday. We will stop again on our travels !!!

Busy Sunday afternoon. Waited only a few minutes to get seated. Food was good. Had ordered a Waffle with a bacon, egg with cheese, home potato plate plus side of pork cutlet. The pork was very good , the bacon was crispy, the waffle was nice and fluffy. The server was nice. I did have a issue with the food not coming out at the same time. My first order of eggs came out cold and the server brought me a warm egg replacement but the waffle still hadn't come out. Restaurant was semi clean.

Stopped in here for dinner on a Friday night. It's a fairly large place with a lot of seating In a couple different rooms. Kind of laid out like a diner but not the typical train car thing. The Staff was friendly; the portions were impressive and the menu was diverse with some unexpected items. Of course they had the tried and true stand-bys well. One of the unexpected items - to me at least - was some food in the Cajun category. I'm not familiar with cajun food but the guy sitting next to me was from Louisiana and he was impressed that they had it on their menu. The service was timely and the prices were reasonable. I would come here again.

Found this place while waiting for a reload, it’s a cute dinner style. I was there for breakfast and got the Route 66 special, it’s definitely worth the price! There’s a lot of options and all of the food was great! Might have been the best breakfast potatoes I’ve ever had. Will definitely be back when I am in town!
