Their service is so friendly and you truly feel taken care of and get some of those hometownesque vibes. Every dish here is fantastic and is a solid portion size! The chicken and waffles is one of my favorites, the chicken is perfectly crispy & the Bourbon Maple Toffee is a unique topping that makes this dish taste phenomenal! This is 100% a must visit Northern Michigan brunch stop!

We were told as we ordered that they only serve breakfast on Sundays. They took our beverage order quickly and brought the coffee and water equally as quickly. We ordered the Hungry Mans Breakfast (3 eggs, bacon sausage, hash browns and toast) and House Made Hash & Eggs (2 eggs, corned beef has and toast) (same as the past 2 years) - you just don't mess with perfection. We ordered eggs overeasy. They brought us a treat of a small cup of homemade strawberry jam for our thick cut fresh sourdough toast - this was a new addition this year (the jam) and we enjoyed it. Nothing is particularly greasy but everything is cooked to perfection. This is one of those places that just makes the quintessential breakfast (or breakfast for lunch). You will leave feel satisfied and happy. July 2023 Amazing find! Last year we stopped to get brunch as we were starving and there aren't many choices along this stretch of road. We would come here on a regular basis if we could. There are a lot of locals but they are equally as nice to out of towners. So this year on our drive, we remembered their food and made a point to stop for a late breakfast. In particular, we recalled their delicious corn beef hash and ordered it again! We ordered the Hungry Mans Breakfast (3 eggs, bacon sausage, hash browns and toast) and House Made Hash & Eggs (2 eggs, corned beef has and toast) (same as last year). We ordered eggs overeasy. The staff is attentive and ensure your coffee and water cups are full without asking. This is one of those places that just makes the perfect breakfast (or breakfast for lunch). You will leave feel satisfied and happy. Note: while they have picnic tables outside they do not serve food outside.

Ordering online will make your morning better. Avoid the line. There is a line. I see people sitting inside, but it's super tiny. Plus, Lake Michigan is right down the street.

My fiancé and I decide to stop and we were glad we did because lakeside cafe did not disappoint. We loved their lakeside omelette smothered in delicious gravy and the warm fluffy pancakes. My fiancé really enjoyed his chicken and waffles option as well and we both spilt a cinnamon roll and seasonal cappuccino. Our server was quick and friendly. We unfortunately cannot remember her name but the whole staff seemed great and the place was packed but food seemed to be flowing nicely out to diners. We would definitely return if ever in the area again. The lakeside omelette is a must get and their motto does not lie! You will leave stuffed

The price for the amount of food you get is great too. The pancakes were as big as the plate, super fluffy and filled with lots of fresh blueberries. I also loved the stuffed skillet - the crispy hash browns paired perfectly with the scrambled eggs, bacon, veggies and cheese. We will definitely be back!

Girls' brunch on a Saturday morning -- GREAT experience and delicious food!…read more As teachers, we absolutely love the mission of this charming cafe on the water in Cadillac. The servers were all polite, friendly and helpful. We truly enjoyed reading the bios of all of the After 26 workers --- so endearing! The three of shared our meals and they were ALL so yummy!!! We started with a flight of their homemade daily soups --- what a great idea! The tomato bisque was FABULOUS! Entrees: Avocado Toast, Monte Cristo sandwich (on waffles!!!) and The Sweet - one of their "Hoppers" -- sweet potato tots, sausage, eggs, feta cheese and hot honey. We loved ALL of it!!

I've been to Dilbert's three times while vacationing in northern Michigan and this greasy spoon…read morediner has landed just right in the taste department each time. I can only speak to the Meat Lover's Skillet (sans mushrooms) as it's the best skillet I've had and the only item I'll order here for that same reason. The side of sourdough toast is well worth the carbs, too. I note this because not all restaurant toast is created equal. The most recent time I went this past weekend, our party of three easily found an open table. Our waitress was with us quickly to take orders and the food shipped out shortly afterward. The Dilbert's environment is no frills so don't expect much from its minimalist (and sometimes perplexing) wall art. On the diner's far back side, a wall concealing the kitchen is a simple (albeit huge) chalkboard displaying specials of the day. Thank you, Dilbert, whoever you are or were!
