Went for a morning walk while camping and stopped here for breakfast. I ordered the western omelet and it was delicious ?

We were driving through town and saw this place, so we made a uturn to check it out. Read the review that said, "best breakfast in the thumb" and I had to try it.Everyone was very kind. I felt very welcomed.The strawberry stuffed French toast was one of the best breakfasts I have had.I wish I could even more stars for how delicious and friendly this place was. We will stop again the next time we drive through.

Visited Harbor Beach and was very happy to have stumble across this locally owned gem. The food was beyond AMAZING! Everything was very fresh, portions are huge, staff is very friendly. Varney’s gives us another reason to come back and visit Harbor Beach. It’s a must visit place when in town.

Went with my family for lunch and the soup was slopped in the bowl it looked terrible, my uncle found 3 chicken bones in his noodle soup and they were not small slivers. So disappointing

Small Town diner without standing food. Huge portions, very flavorful, can't wait to return.

Pros: Hash browns, pancakes and serviceCons: The rest of the mealThe Denver omelette wasn't good. The onions and peppers tasted steamed, and the whole thing was bland. I think I would have enjoyed a different order more, and definitely want to come back for their lunch menu.

Maybe we went on an off day, but it was one of the worst restaurant experiences we’ve seen. As soon as we walked in, a waitress was complaining about her table and said “this table is **ssing me off”. We sat down and she continued to complain about them, in front of the other customers. A couple sat next to us and waited a bit for menus. She came over, slammed their menus down and walked off without saying a word. Those customers were appalled and asked us what her problem was. When another waitress came to take their drink order, they let her know about the rudeness that had just happened. She said it wasn’t rudeness, but they were busy. The gentleman explained he didn’t do anything to warrant that treatment and she said “you know what, I’m not dealing with this” and walked away. The customers got up to leave, which led to both waitresses and customers arguing in the restaurant. After the customers left, they continued to bash them. Shortly after, they complained about another table asking for condiments before their food came. I have never witnessed such disregard towards patrons and rudeness from a waitstaff. We all know the restaurant industry is hit hard with staff shortages. But there’s no reason to take frustrations out on the people trying to patronize a business. And as business people, it’s never good to complain about customers in front of other customers. A regular there told us “that’s just how she is”. It’s not acceptable. I know the rudeness wasn’t aimed at us, but the whole experience was not good.We stayed for our food, only because we had already placed our order. The breakfast was one of the worst I’ve had. The sausage was inedible, the bacon tasted microwaved, and I couldn’t even cut into the ham. The hash browns were the only thing I could tolerate. We quickly ate what we could, paid and left.When I told friends about what happened, they couldn’t believe it. They frequent this establishment and had nothing but good things to say. I debated not doing this review. But if I can get the staff to realize some things, like complaining about customers, should be done later- not in front of a busy restaurant- then I’ve accomplished one thing. Working in the service or retail industry, especially with staff shortages and customers that can be rude, is hard. I 100% understand that. But in this case, no one was rude except the staff. The other reviews on here are great. So focus on the friendly, family atmosphere and good food. It may have been an off day. Just remember to not alienate those trying to patronize your business

A very relaxing, friendly place to stop in for a meal. The food was very tasty. I would definitely come here again.
