Restaurant is tiny and the sign outside is MIA so a bit of a challenge to find, but the food and prices were decent. Wait staff was friendly and on top of things. read more

Best breakfast and lunch in Manistee, great service, the staff is very friendly and the food comes pretty quick.

Good food, but very small restaurant! The last time we went they had a sign up stating they were short staffed and the dining room is tiny, please be patient. There was a line at the door and some people were leaving with angry faces. So we went to McDonalds. read more

Would give it 5 stars if it had more parking and kid friendly choices available. It's fresh and close to attractions nearby. You have to wait a good 15-20 mins for the food to be ready, but they give you a buzzer so you can wait in your car. read more

Sooo...I love this place. Now the 31 Diner. Looks like new management but same commitment to great food and great service. Friendly staff. Promptly took care of us. Food is very moderately priced and they do Greta shredded hash browns as well as the hated American fries. GREAT PANCAKES! This place hits all my sweet spots for service, food and price. Definitely worth the stop and best breakfast in Manistee going away. read more

We were traveling through from the UP to Ohio and stopped for a night in the area so we could see the dunes. This place was super close to our hotel and had mixed reviews but we were going for breakfast and not super concerned about eggs getting messed up. Our family of three did have a good breakfast here. Nothing super special, two eggs, toast, ​and bacon. Our toddler had a pancake and juice. Mind you somehow a box of juice was $2.00 (way too much for a box of juice in this area of the country) but it was good. Nothing to really complain about, but nothing that makes us dream of going back. Service was nice, not sure what the other complaints about service referred​ to. The staff was all smiles, helpful and clean. read more

Cute little breakfast joint! It's a small little cafe that serves breakfast all day. I ordered eggs benedict which comes with a side of hash browns. Toast is not included but I got the rye which was perfect with a little jam. It was yummy and good portions too. The biscuits and gravy were also good. They had a strong sage flavor. I recommend stopping in on your way down 31 South. Good breakfast! read more

Captain's Corner - Can't miss it - good breakfast! - Diners Near Me - Manistee, Michigan

Fantastic place to stop for some food before coming/going to nearby Blacker airport. I *nearly* went to Burger King, I was even in the parking lot. Then we spied Captain's Corner across the way, checked the sparkling Yelp reviews and within moments we were sat at a comfy booth perusing home cooked breakfast options. We enjoyed a few plates of sandwiches, and some sausage and toast for my 2 year old. He literally looks up from his book or toys to order "toast and sHAWsAGE" -- so, this is what he gets. I also snuck him some of my fruit salad when he wasn't paying close attention. Food was solid and service lovely. A nice, comfortable, clean diner-type place serving up breakfast all day long. Very friendly. I'd certainly return, particularly while utilizing the nearby airport! Of note: *Super duper clean and rehabbed bathrooms. Well done! Baby change in women's restroom (can't speak to men's -- but hopefully there too, men need to change diapers!) read more

This place is great. We go to them for breakfast every time we are in town (3-4 times a week). The owner is always there serving the customers and helping out. They are always so polite and like to make you feel like family. Food is great, and always cooked to perfection. Highly recommended coming! read more

If you're in the area during breakfast time, you need to come here! It's such a quaint little diner in a small town. Walk in and take a seat! Everyone there was so happy and friendly. When I went I only noticed two waitresses taking care of the entire diner, but have no fear, you'll be taken care of promptly. This place has found some serious super waitresses! Now for the food.. holy goodness, it was ama-za-zing. I had the Pier 31 omelet, it was pure heaven in my mouth, highly recommend it! The place was very clean, fast and wonderful service and amazing food.. what more could you want?? To really top it off they had pumpkin spice creamer for my coffee. *tear* I only wish there was a place like this in my town. read more

Captain's Corner - The Pier 31 Omelet.. absolute perfection. - Diners Near Me - Manistee, Michigan

Well the pictures on Yelp looked very good and some dishes probably would meet expectations.. We were disappointed. Everything tasted just a bit "off". The hollandaise sauce was a pale yellow color, and bland.. Not rich and lemony as it should be in my opinion. The pancakes were decent not great. Hashbrowns were good and crispy. Sausage patties on our plate and other guests plates were overcooked. On the plus side, the atmosphere was good, the locals seem to like the place, and the bathrooms were A+ -remodeled and clean. read more

Had the eggs Benedict , with home made hollandaise sauce was light and delicious . The ham they used was tender like butter! My husband had the eggs and sausage patties and was impressed with the light spice level and texture (no gristle ;) ) read more

So happy we took a chance in a place we don't know! Delicious omelette and country steak. Coffee was even tasty. They were busy and we still got a quick turn around on the food. Delicious taste & wonderful staff. read more

We came back to Manistee specifically to come back to this restaurant. Breakfasts are outstanding and the wait staff are even better. The atmosphere is warm and congenial with every one who works there working as a team to ensure that your meal is wonderful while preserving the homey feel. We'll definitely be back again. read more

We found Captains Corner on Yelp and glad we did. It may be the best service we have had post Covid. The serves were attentive, the food came fast and was very good! We make an effort to find local places to eat when we travel and Captains Corner was a great brunch stop. read more

Small, Fast, and Good I was on motorcycle trip with my fiancee and a buddy ,after just staying the night at the Pleasant Valley Motel in Arcadia, MI we stopped at Captian Corner for Breakfast. There sign said best breakfast in town so we pulled in. Location: - Right Off Of Rt 31. Atmosphere: - Small and crowded. Service was good. Food: - The food was good. It was just a normal small town diner nothing special, but worth eating at. My fiancee and I had Blueberry pancakes which were big and tasty, my buddy had ham, potatoes, and eggs which he thought was good. Overall: - This was a a good stop. Small but Fast. With a nice Menu to choose from. read more

Captain's Corner - Eggs Benedict! - Diners Near Me - Manistee, Michigan

This place is horrible! We sat outside and waited a half an hour before they brought us into the restaurant to be seated. They took our order within five minutes. Then we sat for another hour and watched everyone around us get food. Must've had 5 cups of coffee in the meantime. Don't waste your time it's hit or mess and very disappointing. read more

As promised by other reviewers,spot on service. Excellent coffee,all our breakfast meals were prepared very well. We will be back on our annual fishing trip next October or sooner when passing thru Manistee. Waitress was very pleasant and accommodating ,she recommended the thick sliced ham & eggs. read more

The food is great, the coffee is even better and the service is the best. Locals know where to get a great breakfast This is the best place to eat for miles and miles. Once you eat there you will make this your favorite (and only) place to eat breakfast in or near Manistee. read more

Hands down my favorite restaurant ive ever eaten at. The servers and honestly everyone in there is so friendly no one ever looks like they dont wanna be there. The wait time on the food is almost like a fast food place the food comes so fast and it taste amazing the prices are fair and to be honest if they charged more i would pay it read more

Breakfast here is very basic - but done right. Very decent prices; especially if you are over 55. Two of had more food and coffee than we could handle for $10. Eggs were done perfect, hashbrowns were crisp (hoorah!) and coffee was served hot. I'd give them 5 stars if the coffee was a tad bit better. But service was great and I'd go back. read more

Been there quite a few times. Have yet to have a bad meal. Good service. Hot coffee. Nice views. The owner is visibly present every day.

first thing i hear upon walkin in the door, "u cant have that in here," referring to my travel mug? ok see ya bye read more

Best breakfast in Manistee bar-none! Great prices and portions, always lead to a great morning at Captain's Corner. Try the stuffed biscuits and gravy. No really, just do it. Let it be known...The place is small and always busy for breakfast. If you have a problem waiting up to 30 minutes, just go elsewhere. Always, and I mean always, beat the church crowd that hits at about 11:15 on Sunday morning. Or you'll never get a table. read more

The best breakfast place that we ever went to. The service was perfect and the food was served very fast. My kiddos don't like breakfast but the hovered those fluffy and delicious pancakes. The Captain's omelette was so good. In other words - if you are ever in the area, stop by and you will really be glad you did. read more

Stopped in for breakfast on 8/30/2016. My kind of place: friendly, clean but a little small. Ordered their 'home style corned beef hash'. It was very good and the coffee fresh. Definitely would go back as long as there is not a long wait. read more

We had a great late Breakfast today and we were delighted: nice food, quick service and fair prices. My wife said this is exactly what I was looking for. If you are near Manistee, Michigan, don't miss it! read more

Basic breakfast place, but very good! We were satisfied with our choices and did not leave hungry. We were looking for a small place on the way up north and came across this charmer. I would eat here again! read more

Good food, good prices. Nice little restaurant. You'll have to wait a short while in the summer though to get a table/booth. Worth it!

Maybe the best biscuits & gravy, ever. Great sandwiches and breakfasts. Trust everything on the menu! Free wifi if you need it.
