Update 8/20 - had the best meal I have had in a while here. The turkey reuben was amazing, the fries were perfect and the chicken pot pie soup may honestly be the best soup in Michigan. Get the carrot cake... it's perfect. Service was great as well.

Hot meatloaf dinner was perfect. I only wish that it came with more potatoes. Worth it. Try the fresh blueberry pie. It's amazing

Reminds me of my grandmothers house- the establishment has an old timer feel with good food and nice atmosphere. The food portions were MORE than enough; and the staff were all kind. Definitely worth your time and money
July 2026
Great service from the door to the table and out of the door again. Food was amazing for all 6 of us attending. Ages ranging from 9 to 40 we were all more than happy with our food and service!
