“ Stopped there as we were going through from picking up something in Houghton Lake. Figured it was good since there were lots of people coming in at 9:45am. Breakfast special was 8.99 for 2 eggs, 4 pieces of sausage or bacon, hashbrowns and toast. It was really good. The place was almost full when we left. Will stop in there again if the opportunity arises. ”
“ Stacked strawberry shortcake, dessert was amazing. It was literal strawberry shortcake biscuits with ice cream with strawberry with biscuits with whip cream with strawberries it was huge and wonderful. ”
“ Best breakfast around! We've been coming here for so many years. The cinnamon swirl pancakes, home made cinnamon bread and sausage gravy are the best! Service is always great. My only complaint is they like to keep it really cold. So bring a coat. ”
“ We were seated right away and the woman who sat us took our order too. She was SO nice! Very bubbly, very helpful, very sweet. We got mozzarella sticks and hush puppies for appetizers. Unfortunately there were only 5 mozzarella sticks and we have a family of 6, so the kids had to have half a stick, which was disappointing. Usually you get 6 at least. They were yummy and the hush puppies you got about 10-15 little balls. They were also very good. I ordered a club sandwich, which was HUGE. There was no way I could finish it, and ended up taking half home. My husband got the Rueben and he said the same thing, it was enormous, and he took half home. My older sons got cheeseburgers and my littles got pancakes and french toast. The server was so nice and subbed a couple things for my picky daughter without question. While we were sitting there the staff seemed to know most of the patrons and I love that. We’ll be back for sure. ”
“ Stopped in at this restaurant on our way through Houghton as it looked like a good family style place. Interior is decorated very nicely in a homestyle country theme with lots of wood, and it’s nicely decorated right now for Christmas. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy. I had the broasted chicken dinner, and the perch is what my wife had. Both meals were very delicious. ”
