Corned Beef Hash

“Very good place to eat the staff is very good food is good and you will get the biggest cup of coffee around you have to hold the cup with 2 hands. Jenny the owner is the best around always joking around just a fun place to eat. We were on our way home from celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary and went there to have breakfast on 10/8/23 and Jenny gave us our breakfast for free. We were surprised whe we got the bill and it said o owed. A great lady and a great place to eat. We make it there about 3 times a year and would go more if we lived close.“

“Food was great, and served in a timely manner considering how busy they were.

Biggest reason for this review is the due to how kind the staff were. Interactions with 3 different employees and all of them were very kind and asked if I needed anything. What a refreshing experience. Whoever does the hiring there I applaud you!“

“We really like eating there. We drive there from Ludington. The food has always been good. Except we have noticed last summer the broasted chicken has changed. It's smaller pieces. Maybe they can't help that but, not sure why but the chicken has been way over cooked. The meat is really dry. We hope this gets figured out. It's happened several times now. We'll give it another try. It used to be when you cut into the chicken juice would run out. Man, that was so good. Probably over cooking it because the pieces are smaller... ??“
