My son's burger was overcooked and the fries were soggy. My footlong tasted fine. The service was good. I just think the same love that goes into their other restaurants should go into this one too, that's just my personal opinion, raised prices for subpar food. I miss the old school feel of how the diner used to be!

The owner is passionate about what she does.. Everything is hand made from bread, muffins, to sandwiches and all things in-between sourced directly from local farmers. which we all know the better the ingredients better the food.. As a family ran business the owner focuses on quality of food and great service! The quaint, and quintessential "norman" like atmosphere, you get as you walk in. there is a smile and a heart-filled greeting waiting to making feel like home. I was taken back by everything it was an amazing experience! I know saying this about a restaurant is a little off. BUT I was having a bit of a bad day driving back home to Indiana, like a 5 hr drive.. And I got hungry seeing a sign out front and sick of fast food I stopped for a bite. As I said before, they greeted me with a smile and a warm hello.. Giving me a tall glass of lemonade started making my bad day better.. The food I ordered was outstanding. Fresh veggies and homemade hamburger seasoned just perfect. "With homemade battered mushrooms" Was truly a great experience.. I could not ask for anything more.. This is a must stop or even worth the drive to get to it! Made me feel like I was at the family's house I do like! "LMAO"

So we were staying in Port Austin and stopped here for lunch.... It was a bit busy, because I think…read moreit was the only place in town to eat.. There were two wait people one very grumpy lady and one really happy lady sorry to say we got the very grumpy lady I don't think she liked us very much we had four adults and two small kids, I get it kids can be a pain but these kids were good... Anyway I was getting a bit miffed by the whole experience and would have left if the kids weren't so hungry... but low and behold out came one of the most delicious hamburgers I've ever had, and I'm old... you need to go to this place for a hamburger and hopefully you get the happy waitress

I could have looked past the ridiculously long wait and lack of options, had the food been good. Unfortunately, the burgers were tough as leather, the "smash burger" patties were exactly like the others and the "Mac and cheese" tasted like unsalted buttered noodles. I think maybe the owners need to do an entire rebranding with it or sell it and concentrate on their other restaurant.

After a three hour kayak trip to Turnip Rock, we were desperate for some ice cream to refuel. We…read moreheard about the large scoops of homemade ice cream at Grindstone General Store and headed over immediately. When we arrived, we saw a huge line out the door, with cars parked all along the road down probably around a quarter mile. That seemed promising! As you enter building, you snake through some of the eclectic goods the store sells - things like custom made chess sets, cute cartoon character and fish shaped soaps, etc. It looks like all of the good being sold are local or at least from Michigan. You'll have plenty of time to browse, since it takes almost 30 minutes from setting foot in the shop to actually reaching the front of the line. It's actually overall pretty well organized. There are two doors on the exterior of the store, but they removed the outside handle on one of the doors so it can only be used as an exit. The shop mainly serves Stroh's ice cream, but they have a tub or two of Guernsey Dairy, and a freezer of ten home made flavors. Of course, we had to get the homemade ice cream only. Please note that the owner can be kind of gruff - before you get to the counter, make sure to know exactly what cone, size, and flavors you want. I don't think they offer any samples. Two Scoops in a Cup ($4.25 first scoop, $2.25 second) - They certainly aren't lying about having giant scoops of ice cream! They actually have a display up showing that a scoop is softball sized with a 14oz volume. That's basically like a pint by itself. We decided to get two flavors in a cup: Horchata and Black Raspberry Bugaboo. The horchata is rich, creamy and filled with vanilla and cinnamon. The ice cream is premium (but I wouldn't say it's super premium) with generally low overrun and higher butterfat, giving a delicious creamy mouthfeel. The sweetness is perfect for ice cream - it's sweet but not achingly so. There are a small amount of ice crystals that formed around some of the cinnamon, but it was only a very small amount and not detrimental enough for me to drop my score. (5/5) The Black Raspberry Bugaboo tastes very artificial. It takes the flavor of raspberry and amps it up to 300% so that it's very sweet with a heavy artificial tart flavor. It's studded with chocolate cups that are filled with maraschino cherry type of flavor as well, and mixed with ribbons of Hershey's chocolate fudge. Not my favorite flavor of ice cream (I was expecting this to be natural raspberry), but I can see it appealing to some. (3/5) There's a choice of sugar cone, waffle cone ($1.25 up charge), or plastic cup. We opted for the cup for two reasons: the sugar cone doesn't look like it can contain the amount of ice cream they serve, and it looks like they get their waffle cones premade from Jagger Cone. The waffle cones come with a paper holder with a flare around to catch any ice cream drips. If you want to enjoy their homemade ice cream at home, they do sell prepacked quarts in a freezer. I wish there was an option for smaller scoops; while I managed to finish two scoops with my partner, I saw many others whose eyes were bigger than their stomachs and ended up having to throw out most of their ice cream. In fact, we saw large piles of ice cream sitting in the nearby trash can. What a waste of food. Bathrooms - Single porta potty outside Overall rating of the food this visit: 4/5
