Turning customers away 30 minutes before closing time for breakfast is a bit unreasonable
Also your hours are wrong.

Cute diner. 2 servers, each cover half. Pretty small and cozy, but are usually able to get right in. Food is decent. Typical breakfast diner food. No complaints. We'll be back.

I would have loved to leave an actual review but we never got a chance to eat. The place closed at noon this day. We put in our names for a table at 1040 and told 20-25 minutes to sit. We never got a call or text so we checked back in at 30 minutes, we were told we were next in line and watched a big table get up and at 1115 thought we would get sat.
The worker slowly cleaned, walked to the back, we could see 3 workers discussing and then came out to tell us they were “out of food”
By this point it was 1130 and I truly believe they just did not want to deal with another table before their closing time at noon
We went to Brookies down the street and had a wonderful time and service!

Had breakfast here on 6.18.2025 and 6.19.2025 and was served by Jazmin on both occasions. She was an AMAZING and OUTSTANDING server and her positive and infectious enthusiasm each morning was very welcoming and inspiring. Jazmin even provided suggestions of places to explore, visit, and eat at during my travels along Lake Michigan, which I have included in this review. The food here at Thornton's is delicious and I will definitely stop here again the next time I am in Michigan. Highly recommend to anyone traveling through the area. ..... Jazmin. I want to personally thank you for your recommendations and your service! BRAVO and THANK YOU! I hope that your boss shows you this review so you can appreciate the pictures I took during my trip. I hope that you are still at Thornton's the next time I visit Michigan. All the best to you!

Used to love coming here with my grandma as a kid. Came here the other day with my mom for good memories and food, we arrived at 11 and left at 1230. An hour and 30 minutes of waiting for food. For context, we'd put our order in as soon as we got there. The waitress was very nice however, but told us about 40 minutes into the wait that our food had only just been put on the grill. Don't know what's going on in the kitchen, but it shouldn't be that for how few people were even there at that time. Usually, I am one to suck these things up. However, I am a type 1 diabetic, which my mother mentioned when we ordered. I usually give myself insulin for my food before I think it will arrive. If we had waited any longer I would have been too low and could've had a diabetic episode. No reason in the world that it should take that long, according to my partner who works in food service as a cook. Bad for them, they could get sued by people with disabilities like mine this way. People with medical-issues beware.
Perfectly cooked omelette, delicious sourdough toast, genuinely nice people. I love diner-type places and this is now a favorite

This place is a real gem. It is a sit wherever you want family run restaurant. Coffee is great. Kids meals are 4.99! The Omlet, the owner / cook made was perfect, like world class french restaurant level. My wife got these breakfast tater skins which is a great idea. This is where the locals go and you should too.
