We go here once a week for breakfast and have been doing so for a long time. There have been a lot of negative reviews lately that seem to be motivated by recent staffing changes. The restaurant is a lot quieter in the morning than it used to be and we hope it survives this transition period. Regarding the food and service, it has remained consistently good. Attentive and kind staff, clean environment, and good food. Recommend.

Stopped in at my favorite restaurant and didn't recognize anyone in the 2 weeks since i was there last there has been a major change in Waite staff. I asked the new waitress what happened, and she tried to bullshit me. I told her i was going to go, and when she asked why, i said i was loyal to the staff and not the restaurant. I overhead her tell another member of the new staff what i said and then said we don't need that kind of business anyway. I am happy to oblige.

Busy on Sunday mornings but seems to be the in spot for the locals and always a good sign when picking a restaurant Stop here when you visit Tecumseh for breakfast or lunch. My guess is the service is better. Think it was a new waitress that was unsure of her self but sweet. It's just around the corner from the main road and makes for a nice walk in town

Judy B was an amazing server. She made our experience fantastic. Even wirh the place being extremely busy on a Sunday morning we never felt rushed. Actually it was the exact opposite. We felt very welcome. The food was better than expected as well. Will definitely come back if we are in the area.

Excellent service, restaurant reminds me of an upscale coney island with reasonable prices. The food was simple yet good. About what you would expect but with phenominal staff. (Kiddos loved the Mickey pancakes with whipped cream) I had the mushroom Swiss, and my 17 year old had the bacon cheeseburger) We will certainly be back when we are in the area.

Took 20 minutes to get our drink order and a menu. Waited over an hour for the food only to find out that the order was never put in. Place was empty, extremely confused about the poor service. Got Wendy s takeout instead.

November 25, 2024

Orderd to go and the food was terrible. French toast was under cooked, hardly any gravy was put on the biskets and gravy, sausage links were cold. I used to love this place but to pay $30 for breakfast and have it be this bad is unacceptable. I cant imagine being a cook in a restaurant and just throwing crap together without any care. Take a little pride in what you are sending out of the kitchen!

It s an early September morning and the temperature outside was 68 degrees. The temperature inside the diner was colder than that. My breakfast was served hot but within a couple of minutes, my eggs were cold. The tip of my nose was cold and I was shivering. Despite moving away from the air vent I was still cold. A few other diners didn t even take off their jackets. I told the manager but it didn t seem that she genuinely cared as she gave me a brush-off excuse.

Tried this cute looking dinner with my kids since we were in the area. It was busy but NOT THAT busy..we were taken to a table in the back corner, the table was just cleaned off and the young lady that sat us there barely said a word to us. She handed me sticky menus and walked away. The server that brought us our food and drinks was nicer and took her time as we have never been here before. My children ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and the Mikey mouse pancakes. I ordered the recommended garden skillet but unfortunately did not receive the eggs nor the toast or pancake that comes along with it according to the menu. My childrens pancakes had no flavors, seemed a bit on the dryer side and almost rubbery (they ate because they were hungry) well and my skillet besides missing a few items tasted like the cheap mixed vegetable bag you buy frozen at Walmart. Sadly we will not ever be returning..

I enjoyed everything we ordered for breakfast. We both cleaned our plates. The toast was especially terrific. Our server was perfect. It is a fairly small place with plenty of parking. I enjoyed the wall decorations of old signs. Some may think it is old looking but I enjoyed it. We will certainly be returning! Wanted to update my review. Wish I could give this place 10 stars! We come at least once a week from Dundee for breakfast since we first discovered this jewel. Best food and servers! Cant go wrong with anything on the breakfast menu! Omelets, biscuits and gravy, warm syrup for the pancakes. All excellent! And prices are reasonable.

December 23, 2022

First time I went here. Coffee very good and waitress was quick and came back often to refill coffee. I ordered the crepe with feta, spinach and chicken with hollandaise sauce. Thought it sounded interesting but hollandaise sauce was obviously canned and covering the entire plate, way too much mediocre tasting sauce. Inside of crepe was rather tasteless too. Gave it 3 stars because coffee was good and waitress was very good. Ill probably try one more time and try pancakes or French toast.
