Went for breakfast. It was decent. Nothing to complain about, nothing to brag about. There were four of us, we all got different dishes. I will say the lady who ordered the omelette said it was perfect, one of the best she has ever had. Service was ok. Atmosphere lacking. Portions decent. Quality could be improved. read more

Can't go wrong with a coke. But seriously the food was delicious. I went here to a birthday party and all the employees acted like they knew me even though I've never been here. And birchwood is just full of good vibes and better service. You need to go here. read more

We are local but haven't been to the Birchwood in a while because it was extra greasy the last time we were there. We decided to give them another try after a break. We both ordered pancakes and at first they tasted lemon-y and after another bite it seemed that they were made with bad buttermilk. I know buttermilk has a slightly sour-ish flavor but these were way beyond that and had a smell. We let the waitress know and she informed us that lots of people at them and loved them and walked away. She scribbled stuff off on our bill and plopped it down on our table without saying a word. She seemed personally offended by our complaint (politely stated, I might add) and never offered anything else or even spoke to us. Odd response. We wont be back and this bums me out because I always want to support local business. read more

Great service food portion small overdone and a slice of pie 5.95 tiny Sorry to say owner wasn't there Great Thanksgiving Dinner read more

Came in with my girlfriend because she said she loved to eat here, we were the only ones inside the restaurant at the time so service and speed with the order and food was great! About 10 minutes for the food, but when my burger came back there was a hair in it, they remade my burger and it came out good the second time, but you could feel the energy in the room and staff chatting about us in the back, my girls food was pretty decent tho, I came in expecting to rate them 5 stars and now it's a 2, because she won't let me rate me 1 lol read more

Birchwood Restaurant - a plate of food on a table - American Near Me - Farwell, Michigan

The worst mozzarella sticks can be found here, as well as dry cheeseburgers. The service is nonexistent. Don't go here.

Nice roadtrip stop for lunch. Attentive service, straightforward menu. Patty melt and Reuben sandwich were both tasty. Would stop in again.

Great place to eat we go there ever time we are at our cabin great friendy people the waitress is one of the best waitress that i ever had wait on us A++ there. The food is great try there bacon and there fish they also are very fair priced. 5 stars here read more

Hmm, diner food at close proximity to the nursing home? They get 3 stars for average food but good location for us while visiting a relative. We walked across the highway so yeah, it's close. But there is ample parking. I only ordered the breaded mushrooms and they were very good. Hubby ordered the Reuben. Not much meat but he said it was ok. We also ordered the chili. A bit spicy but not overwhelming. Probably won't go again, the food wasn't enough to bring me back. read more

If I could rate a -5 star I would. We waited 45 min. With coffee and tea. No food. Left hungry and mad. Never going back there!! Waitress never checked back with us!! read more

Terrible service we never seen the waitress after getting our food. I actually left my party who wanted a refill and they waited a long time after everyone was done eating to bring the bill so he could get a refill. They were not busy either. Food was good but better food at better prices is available in the immediate area. We will not be back. read more

OK, so here is the story about this place. The waitress, Korina, is the best you can have. The owner is extremely lucky to have her! The new waitress, Casey, is very sweet and kind and good at what she does. The food is good and comes to you quick enough. My boyfriend and I went there quite often, mostly for breakfast. But, the burgers are great also, as well as the southwest wrap and the chicken caesar salad. However, even though I do recommend going there, something went on the other day there that turned me off enough for ME not to return. I was in the mood for liver and onins, but did not want dinner because it was 10:30am. So, I asked Korina if I could get liver and onions with two eggs and a dinner roll. Kind as she is, she said yes I could and wrote it down for the owner to cook. When he read the order, he threw a hissy fit! He loudly complained about it not being on the menu, how I wouldn't find that in a restaurant within 100 miles, and went on and on about it until I ended up very upset and in tears. Needless to say I sure was not able emotionally to enjoy my food when it came, but did not dare to leave any either. I snuck part of it out to my dog. Korina had gone back and shut him up and told him I was upset, so he came out to ask how my liver was and let me know he had never seen liver and eggs ever before anywhere. Then he asked my boyfriend about our dog that was waiting for us in the van, said he loves labrador retrievers and went out to say hello to the dog through the window. Very nice, yes, but a little too little a little to late. I wish nothing but the best for Korina and Casey, and I will miss them both very much. I also hope the owner does well with the place and that they are there for many years. One last thing, Cheryl is the best cook they have and is also kind and careing. I will miss her as well. It is a shame the owner makes regular customers want to leave. read more

The food is great. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time to get your food. Best breakfast in Farwell.

We eat here quite often and the food is great. I especially like their breakfasts. Burgers, fish and ribs are great too

We waited over an hour to get our food. My husband ordered eggs over medium and they came slimy. I ordered scrambled well and they were slimy. Neither of us wanted to send them back for fear it would take another hour to get eggs. Our dog had eggs for breakfast. Our waitress "hid" in the corner and never checked in on any of her tables. We had to ask another waitress for more coffee and water for tea. I do not recommend going to eat here. read more

Food was cold and the service wasn't very good I ordered scrambled eggs and I got an omelet read more

We were on our way home from skiing at caberfae, and were getting hungry. We decided to have an adventure with a local place. This place is fantastic! Just a simple, home style coming restaurant, but they do it well! The staff was great as well. My drink was never went empty. My nephew got a cod dinner, which looked good, and he said it was really good. I got the BBQ beef sandwich. There was no description for it, so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but I did not expect the divine sandwich served to me. I don't know exactly what they do, but wow! It is definitely one of the best sandwiches I have had. The beef was just crisped a bit and that just put it over the top! If you happen by this neck of the woods, definitely stop in. And if you like beef and BBQ, try the BBQ beef sandwich. You'll be glad you did! read more

April h I love to eat at the birch wood. There food is always great no matter what you choose. And last year when we had a suprize 70th birthday party we choose birch wood to make the food and everything was great. If you want a good meal then this is the place to stop. read more

Wonderful quiet small town feel. My family's favorite place to go to eat. The waitstaff are friendly and extremely helpful. The food is not only delicious but reasonably priced. There is no "Oh we aren't making that anymore/yet". My husband loves breakfast and our son loves chicken strips and fries.. they call literally go in there at anytime of the day and order what they want. My husband had had corn beef and hash at 4:30pm and our son chicken strips at 10am. read more

First time here was over 35 years ago! Always got chili and a chocolate milk with my dad on way to lake of the Pines. My mom loved the Reuben sandwich when she came along. I see on the website they have an olive burger which I will be getting if I make it up that way in the near future. read more

My family and I end up at this diner every week because everyone is amazing there and they have the best wings ever!!!

Yelp let us down!! Food tasted bad and coffee was awful. Service was friendly and attentive but will not return due to food being basically inedible. read more

I want to update this review and give them 5 stars. We went in for lunch this week. The Service was excellent. My Husband ordered the trucker breakfast and I ordered the BLT. Both meals were excellent. read more

This place sucks. Save your money. The wings came out frozen in the middle. The server offered to microwave them. Hash browns the same. Meatloaf was pretty much mystery meat that got nuked in the microwave. Coffee was good. Don't know how this place has any business. read more

Thursday rib night. Cook was grilling the ribs on the charcoal grill just outside. Fall off the bone tender, service was awesome. Great little place! read more

Mom-and and-pop diner with dependable food. For some reason we always seem to be passing through Farwell on a Friday, their fish- fry day, and their cod sandwich and clam chowder are both good. Good soups in general. read more

Had the Ribs tonight and they were very good. Right now on Sundays they have their outdoor Bar-B-Q going. It's definitely worth the trip. Be sure to take advantage of this before the snow hits! read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place is water in a desert. With not much around we were looking for anything and found a gem. Everything is homemade. We had the soup (chicken noodle) and it was better than my grandma's (sorry grandma). Breakfast here is hardy with fresh ingredients. Great omelets and waffles. The burger was juicy and the bun was obviously made in house. All in all, this is a ma and pa joint that fits the bill for all tastes. We'll be back. Oh, and great service! read more

We head up to the Farwell area most weekends and we always head to the Birchwood for a quality breakfast. The wait staff are friendly and fast and the food excellent. I love the country breakfast and my wife enjoys the skillets. The omelets are huge and delicious. We go for dinners as well and they have daily specials. I do believe that you would throughly enjoy the Birchwood. read more

Real home cooking here at an affordable price. Stopped in for lunch and was disappointed to find the ribs were Thursday only. We ordered Colby burger, 2 patty melts and a shrimp basket. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was fast and friendly, thanks to all the staff you were great. read more

Holy moley are they slow. Been 30 minutes and still waiting for eggs...10 minutes later and still waiting....time to go somewhere else....

Went here because of all the positive reviews....I wasn't impressed. I ordered a 1/3 pound bacon cheeseburger and it was far from 1/3 pound more like under a quarter pound! Also it did not include lettuce, tomato or onion! And when I asked they simply said it doesn't come with and never offered?!?! Fries were over cooked. But on a positive note out waitress was very nice and the coke was good! Seriously Why would you serve a burger without Lettuce and tomato!?!? read more

Very good and great service. Waitress was very efficient and ran the entire room with precision! Will come back!

Don't waste your time. We sat there waiting for service for 25 minutes. After 5 tables were seated after us and waited on before us so we left....good thing because we ended up at a restaurant called Lake Restaurant and had the breakfast buffet. Great sausage and biscuits and excellent service. They were busy but still took good care of customers...unlike the Birchwood. read more

The good reviews brought my family here. We had such a nice experience. The food, dessert and service was really good. It ended by our hearing a beautiful rendition of Verdi Pratti by their singing waitress on her way Carnegie Hall. Authentic. read more
