We were there for breakfast on the last day of the season, passing through town from the UP and looking for some breakfast. There was not much open near the superchargers, but we walked past and this was.If you want to eat mediocre food while the waitress loudly lambasts the clientele, makes fun of "tourists," and for some reason brags about "how much you can charge people in a tourist town for just pancakes" then this is the place for you.Sign when you walked in said to take silverware and seat yourself, but when you do that a different wait staff member gets mad at their number of new tables. As if the expectation was that the guests would sort themselves by section?Oh, and no silverware in that bucket and boy was it an exercise in drama getting 4 bundles for 4 people.I will never be back. The food was alright though.

5 stars for having to deal with terrible neighbors

Breakfast Menu has offers going on all items marked with star are buy one get one and later it was told its for one item per pay cheque.. We just ordered omelet with only veggies n no meat which comes along with a single toast slice and hash browns.. Initially only one single toast was provided on asking the hash browns.. Not sure if it was intentional or they forgot as not many people were there to serve..n this dish was for 17.99$ + tax.. Highly not recommended.

Bacon was undercooked. Hash browns overcooked. Was served one slice of bread with the breakfast platter. Had to ask for coffee refill.

We go here almost every time we are in mackinac city. Always clean. Food is quick and usually decent. My eggs the last time were over cooked. But bacon and hasbrowns were perfect. The coffeeis really good. Karen is one of our favorite waitresses at any place we go.

Rude service and overpriced food. Prices are close to double what you would pay for the quality of the food. Coupons found in all the hotel lobbies in town are buy one get one on certain dishes. This brings the price into a reasonable range, but you find after you've sat down that you can only use one coupon per "family". Skip this stop.

It was very nice, just kept having to ask for condiments. Cream, sugar, salt, pepper, ketchup....and never once did anyone refill my coffee. It wasn't even busy. Too pricey for what you end up with.

Went because hotel offered a coupon on 2 for 1 breakfast, immediately regretted it. Server was friendly and chatty while seating us and gave us a few mins to look over the menu, brought out my coffee (which was terrible btw). The moment she saw my coupon her face dropped and all interactions with her after were short and borderline rude. She was chatty and laughing with other tables so I know it wasn't just her way. Had the traditional breakfast, very small sizes but fine. Server never checked on us once and just dropped our food and ran, never got coffee checked on or anything. Waited 20 mins for her to realize we had finished and needed our bill. Just took the coupon and came back about 10 mins later, no conversation.Lesson learned, never go to places advertised in the hotels. We went to another place to grab actual good coffee, to a bakery and coffee spot that serves breakfast sandwiches near the water. Would definitely recommend there.

"Don't be fooled by the buy one get one free offer. It's only available for a few items on the menu and the prices online are not accurate. When we arrived, we were immediately told that the wait time was 35-40 minutes, even though there were only a few cars in the parking lot. We decided not to stay and eat, but we did review the menu and noticed the signs on the counter stating that only specific items on the menu are eligible for buy one get one free, and another sign mentioning that you must have a coupon to qualify."

Had to ask for coffee 10 mins later after ordering it. Food order came out wrong and was cool. Server not friendly. They add service fee of 1%. Overpriced breakfast.

Great food. Large portions . Quick courteous service!!! Hash browns, bacon and lighthouse omelot were all perfect. Will definitely stop here again if I’m in the area

Showed up to breakfast early with our three kids. The waitress was friendly, but the food took a very long time to come out with very little people in the building. Wasn’t sure if they only had one person in the kitchen, but I wished we would have just gotten our hotel continental breakfast. $87 for 2 adults, 3 kids. Would not go back, even if it was free.

People all around us were very un happy. One lady got runny scramble eggs. Another lady said she didn't want to pay for sausage in her omelet. There was not any in there. we had to ask for service ware when the coffee came, we needed a refill on coffee before food came ( at least 30 mins) the restaurant was not busy at all. Three wait People. I found no reason at all for the slow service. This all took place on a Thursday.

Just got into town for our family vacation, our hotel gave us coupons to use for a variety of restaurants and shops. Go out to breakfast here and our waitress, Karen, is the rudest person I've ever met. We had the coupons on the table and she just had an attitude for the rest of breakfast. Slamming our plates on the table, being short with a serious tone of rudeness. What a great way to start the day for our first visit here. Don't recommend dining here if you want to enjoy your vacation.
