Great spot for breakfast and conversation. They keep my coffee filled, make sure my hashbrowns are crispy and my tuna melt is hot and cheesy. They've always been friendly and never rush us. And I've never had a bad meal. read more

Big Sky Diner - Eggs corn beef hash and pancakes - Diners Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Great service and the food always tastes homemade. We've have been eating here since 2023, no complaints.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Very rude. Missing items from a grubhub order. Called store. Argued with me, the owner saying she packed back herself. Good for you, but I'm still missing my sandwich that I paid for. What's the point of owning a business when you don't want to help the customer? Never ordering from them again. Owner should invest in learning how to treat customers. Oh well, lesson learned. read more

wanted to try out something new for breakfast with my wife but unfortunately i chose wrong. granted, the service was good and kind, the food was okay at best, but almost halfway through i noticed hair in my food. i still had more than half of my food left but my appetite was instantly gone. when i asked what could be done, i was only given 10% off, which is, to be fair, better than nothing. however, when most of my plate is full and that's how i intend on leaving it due to hair in it, which was stated, i believe 10% off is nowhere near good enough. as someone who works in the industry, 50% off would have been the absolute minimum i would do, but honestly i wouldn't have charged the customer at all for that plate, considering the problem at hand. i wont be returning but i hope others have a better experience here than i did. read more

I ordered the New York strip and eggs. The slab of meat was the worst steak I have EVER had. Grissel and fat. I would be embarrassed to serve this if I had a restaurant. The hash browns were good. The wheat toast was good The eggs were runny and smashed underneath the meat. I won't back.k read more

big breakfast was delicious! the biscuits and gravy were perfect, and the eggs were cooked perfectly as well. great value, will be back for sure! read more

Big Sky Diner - Diners Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Dinner was not that great. Our server was fine. She was the only one working. Gave good advise on meal choices. The wrong potatoes were brought out with my meal. Gravy was lumpy and they used a slice of cheese for the potatoe. The rest was good. We will not be going back for dinner but we would like to try them for breakfast. read more

The restaurant was kind enough to host a large party for lunch. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and the menu is pretty extensive for a small place. Crystal our server was excellent. Friendly and despite being the only one working, was very attentive to us. I had a cheeseburger and fries and both were very good. I'd definitely go back! read more

Amazing people and great staff. The food was warm and yummy couldn't have asked for better. It's a cute little dinner. As well as a great place to feel good. 2 Eggs and Toast. read more

Hair in my food, bad service, crack heads out here serving the check before my first bite. It's crazy the simplest instructions get over looked.... How do you FORGET THE CHEESE ON A CHEESEBURGER... you were lucky I swiped my card.... Id rather go back to Full House with there undercooked chicken, dirty dishes and Chunky beer... read more

Seems under staffed, the waitress who took my order did not bring my food, I was not greeted when I walked in the door, French toast tasted burnt. Had to add my own powdered sugar to my French toast which I found strange. I had to wipe the table off myself before sitting down. Cleanliness is not good in my opinion and customer service experience is not great. Not to mention it took like 15 minutes for the waitress to come back to take my order. read more

See all

Quality has gone downhill. They used to be better. On my last visit 3/5/19, the food ( goulash) was reheated and cold inside.

I enjoyed your spaghetti and meatballs meatloaf and mashed potatoes and chicken and dumpling soup The waitress was very nice very polite and courteous she had multi pastel color hair she was great thank you Big Sky read more

Big Sky Diner - Diners Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

I've lived about a mile from this restaurant for years and just never got around to trying it out until recently. I like the name, and it looked like a nifty little diner from the outside. Inside, it's clean and neat but with that kitschy feel you want in a divey diner. I really wanted to like it better than I did, but the food was just mediocre. Positives: it's clean, it's got atmosphere, and the waitstaff are attentive. It's obvious that they have loyal regulars from the way they knew one customer wanted decaf coffee before she even sat down. I heard one of the waitresses talking with a little boy with a cast on his arm, and it was obvious he came in with his Dad on a weekly basis. They also do a nice job with separating the smoking from the non-smoking areas, and I smelled very little smoke during my visit. Another positive: prices are really great. There are a number of classic items like goulash and meatloaf sandwiches on the dinner menu, and they're inexpensive. Several lunch items are under $4, and many breakfast menu items are under $3.50. A half-order of biscuits and gravy or an egg and toast breakfast can both be had for around $2. Sadly, the food quality on a recent visit was just so-so. Skip the coffee. It's watery and tasteless. I ordered the farmer's omelet minus the ham, and while it was chock full of onions, potatoes and cheese, the hash browns were really hash whites. Undercooked hash browns are a major pet peeve of mine. There's a reason the word "brown" is in the name, and I really hate being served a lump of mostly white potato. The serving was huge and the toast that came with it was good. Overall, it was edible, but it wasn't the best diner breakfast I've had. read more

Big Sky Diner - a blue and white building - Diners Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Big Sky is another one of those diners that I've missed over the last 8 years that I've lived in the neighborhood. Really, I couldn't be more happy with the breakfast that they served at Big Sky. I ordered the Fried Steak Skillet and it was wonderful. Eggs, hash browns, country fried steak, and sausage gravy over the top of it all. A real flavor treat. This may have actually been the first time that I was able to work my way through a country fried steak without running into lots of fat and grizzle. If you do happen to visit Big Sky, be wary of the fact that their breakfasts are huge, You will definitely end up packing some of it away for a snack later in the day. The coffee was real good and my cup was always full. Big Sky is clean and they have a great wait staff, the kind of people you remember from days past that address you as "hon" and "darling". You'll feel very comfortable and accepted at Big Sky. read more

Big Sky Diner - Country Fried Skillet - Diners Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

I enjoy getting my fried chicken gyro. With a side of pickles. And I especially admire the hard working owner who I see in the community, picking up his kids from school, in the grocery store picking up items ( probably for the restaurant) then run the restaurant and do deliveries. read more

This is a little gem with great food for great prices. Staff was very friendly! I'm so glad we popped in to try it! I will definitely be back. read more

Big Sky is a great diner, on the diner scale. It's clean and cheap, the food is good, the coffee is decent and the service is excellent. Food first - exactly what you want from a diner; eggs prepared just the way you requested; big, wide burgers and greasy fries; skillets galore (yay, potatoes and meat!); huge portions. Sometimes too huge. I'd rather pay less for less food, but your meal is definitely a good value. Go with a big appetite. As I said, the coffee is fine, a B+ on the diner scale. I've had better diner joe, but mostly I've had way worse. Next, the atmosphere - very neat, with a booth-filled non-smoking sunroom. Great spot to read the paper with your breakfast. There's ample seating in the smoking section, too. Finally, the service - The waitresses at this place are remarkably good. The woman who waited on us today was immediately attentive, got us our food fast, refilled beverages often and best of all, brought ketchup and hot sauce for our eggs before we could even ask! I don't often bother with diners because I feel like I can do the same thing better or more interesting at home. But when I just don't feel like doing it myself, I'm always perfectly satisfied with my visit here. read more

Good food, good prices. Amazing Breakfast and solid crew. This place is the one place EMU Hipsters know nothing about, and the senior citizens and nice families be like "Hell Yeah," no annoying conversations to have to listen in on. It's good food served fast and tasty. No pretentions, just friends and family having good eats. Ypsi's best kept secret fo sho. read more

How in the hell this place has good ratings, I don't know. Good- Cheap food Bad- Low quality food Dirty ass place Waitress didn't give an F$@& I know the review is short. Sorry. It's a waste of time...like going here. read more

I am currently sitting in this diner wondering why its even still in business. The waitress sluggishly greeted us and forgot our drink order. 4 waters and 3 coffees could be a little tough to remember so i understand. The cook brought us our coffee and 7 minutes later, she returned and took our order complete with her monotone voice and tomboy attitude. She then spent her time with her bermuda shorts resting closely to what i assume was her girlfriend. If i could give 0 stars i would. read more

Big Sky Diner - Worlds most burnt onion rings - Diners Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

This place is as divey as divey gets. It looks like the castaways of restaurants long-gone, with sad pitted tables and cracked, worn-out booth upholstery. It reeks of industrial cleaner and mold, mostly the latter. The TV is constantly blaring the most garish of shows - TMZ, Maury, etc. It's a study in diner culture to the point of cartoonish hyperbole, as far as I'm concerned. However. The food is surprisingly pretty solid. Be careful about any lettuce you eat; it's always browned & looks like it's seen FAR better days. Other than that, it's not bad. It's dirt-cheap even by diner standards, so it's surprising that it's as good as it is. A simple burger hits the spot consistently, and every time I've gone in, I've gotten some random bit of free food. "Hey, we made this salad and forgot the customer didn't want tomatoes; want a free salad?" "Free pound cake on the house for you folks!" etc. And the staff there is an odd motley crew, but very friendly, pleasant & devoted to making sure you have a good visit. They treat you like regulars whether you are or not. Plus, they're 24 hours, which I've noticed a LOT of diners are getting away from. So if you're in the area & hungry, it's not a bad option. read more

From the first time you step into the Big Sky Diner, you are immediately given the impression of 'local'. It's not the finest diner you'll see; it's well worn. There are 3 rows of booths, one of which we're brought to when we enter and another room full of tables behind us. The staff is friendly and seems to know most of the customers. A policeman walks in; "Haven't seen you in here in a while Burt" cries one of the waitress. "When did you get back from vacation?" Burt smiles back. The Big Sky Diner has it's own little community which brings a nice warmth to the diner. The menu is as you expect, but plentiful. We're here for breakfast. It's 9am and the place is busy. I order one of the skillets, my wife orders the 'big breakfast'. The coffee is good and keeps coming. There's been drama here this morning as a customer caused the staff a bit of trouble; Officer Burt is in to make sure the staff are ok, and it's to gossip of the tables. My skillet is good. Nice thick, tasty sausage gravy, nice sausage patty, fried eggs, toast already buttered (one of those wonderful things about America!). My wife's breakfast is vast, like a little continent of food. It's too much for her to finish. Her sausage is a little tough and she finds the gravy too thick, she's more of the connoisseur of sausage gravy than I am, so she knows what she's talking about. Her biscuits are flakey and light. The toilets are by far not the finest you'll ever see, but I didn't expect pristine! The meal was very reasonable, and I really just enjoyed sitting there, listening to the conversations and banter, and soaking up the atmosphere. A great place to stop off read more

I used to be a big fan of BSD, but lately the quality of the food has been inconsistent. On some days it is outstanding, and on others it is just eh. The daily specials seem to be the most constantly good. Big points for the homemade mashed potatoes and homemade entrées. Depending on who is cooking ; the sausage and gravy, the homemade coleslaw and other dishes can really range in taste , quality and quantity. Stick with the basics - breakfast and sandwiches for consistancy. read more

I came across this place on a Livejournal entry with my roommate - and we tried it one morning for breakfast. It's about five miles from us, and open 24 hours - always a plus when you're a third-shifter. When we went in and tried it the first time, we did breakfast. Keep in mind, this is a place that is out of the way, a bit of a dive, and a little run-down in parts. We're not talking about the greatest section of Ypsi here. But the place is full every morning for breakfast, and that ought to be a good sign. The waitstaff is pleasant, attentive, and friendly, and after only a couple of visits began to figure us out. Their cooks often make a note of you and remember how you like things done if you come in often enough. I love my bacon crispy and crunchy - not floppy as you get in most breakfast places - and after being told only once, the bacon I'd get in breakfasts was never floppy, ever. Absolutely awesome. The prices can't be beat either. Although they only recently raised them, they only went up about $1 per meal, which given the economy, I can't fault them. The corned beef hash & eggs is still a great deal, and you can't beat the $2.99 breakfast special (get there before 11 AM). Only downside is that the waitstaff is small, so if they're swamped, service might suffer a bit. But they go out of their way to try to make your experience a good one. Other pluses: The soups are homemade; the chicken dumpling soup is absolutely incredible. My roommate, who's allergic to celery, eats the soup despite the fact that it has celery in it just because it's so good. The chicken noodle is also excellent, really rich broth and great flavor all around. read more

I've always loved Big Sky Diner. The prices are great, and the food is perfect almost every time. One reason I'd have to say I really love the resturaunt is because I live only walking distance to it. The service is great, and it's everything you would expect from a casual diner. The food is quite cheap, and definitely meets up to my expectations. The smoking and non-smoking sections are divided nicely, and personally I really like the fact that almost every seat is a booth. The only thing I'd have to say is a downside is that when the resturaunt is really crowded, the food sometimes isn't cooked as desired. But almost every time it's perfect! Personally, one of the best diners I have ever been to! read more

The service is GREAT, the portions are large and the prices are low!! Take the whole family!!!

Came here late on a Saturday night to get a bit of diner grub and was not disappointed. Good breakfast combos that have big portions and are filling!! I got eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, & toast for $7-8 bucks! I couldn't finish the hash browns they gave me so much. I like that it's one of the few 24 hour places in the Ypsi-Ann Arbor area. The waitress was very attentive and nice. (cute too!) I will probably be stopping in here more often for a late night bite! read more

Big Sky Diner - Menu front - Diners Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

Ehh is what comes to mind after my first visit here. I love several miles down the road and always think about stopping by this place but never did. We showed up for breakfast and I ordered a skillet. BLAH is the only word for it. it was ok, but def nothing special. I also wanted some corned beef hash and figured a divey little diner such as this would for sure have a home made version. NOPE. Waitress tells me it is canned. I probably wont come back here unless its after 2 a.m and i have had a few cocktails since it is open 24 hours a day. Do yourself a favor and cruise right past this place on your way to a real Ypsilanti breakfast ... Like the Bomber read more

No doubt, it's as divey as it ever gets. Good hole-in-the-wall diner. Torn blue vinyl seats; brown Formica tables. Local seniors hanging out midday drinking coffee and discussing world affairs in a way only old men can do. Had the Wednesday Special of Beef Stroganoff. Came with Chicken Dumpling soup. The soup was hot, thick and home made. My gravelly voiced server was sweet, attentive and gave as good as she got from the old guys. Soup, though a bit bland, was loaded with dumplings and chunks of chicken and celery. Perfect comfort food for the rainy day we were experiencing. Beef Stroganoff was exactly what you'd expect. A creamy sauce generously slathered over multiple chunks of beef setting on an abundant bed of noodles. The Stroganoff was adequate cooked, had sufficient seasonings, and good flavor. If you're looking for good comfort food at a very reasonable price, Big Sky Diner is the place to go!! My entire meal with coffee was only $8.95. Definitely an enjoyable dining experience. read more

I went to Big Sky Diner after arriving in Michigan from California. Leah (hope I spelled her name right) was my server and she was great. She was attentive, inviting, and courteous. This is small little place compared to what I am used to, but I haven't gotten service like that in a very long time. I work in Michigan now and this will definitely be a place I plan to frequent. read more

Place is so awesome! Cute , sweet waitress... Bless her. She offered us to go coffee!!!!

When I worked midnights, this was often the only place open to eat at. And after a week of 12 hour days, it was good to order an omelet with sausage gravy on it to pack the calories back on. read more

I tried to order some home delivery and the girl on the phone was rude sounded like she didn't want to be involved in the whole exchange and when I asked her for a total she left the phone on and I heard her say how cheap does this guy have to be to ask for a total that he can't manage his money.... I've ordered from this restaurant for 10 plus years.... I've never been so insulted in my life. Tony if you keep this woman on your an idiot.... read more

Big Sky Diner is my go-to breakfast place. Their Breakfast Special is $3.50 before 10am. It's the best breakfast around.

It was late and I was on my way north so just drifted to this place from the highway but... the girls were very courteous, the portions were generous, the food tasted awesome, and the prices were very reasonable. All in all not a fancy place but you get more than your money's worth. Enjoy. read more
