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.
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....
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.
