Think Waffle House, only cheaper and tastes way better. The staff are also super friendly. We were staying in the area. Went there for breakfast one morning, liked it so much we had breakfast there again the next morning. read more

Love this place! The staff is so sweet! The chicken tender wrap and breakfast are my favorites. Can't go wrong with Country Fare. read more

amazing staff, best small town waitress and service I have ever had. incredibly good bacon and i have never left hungry.

It's a great place for breakfast. I got blueberry pancakes and biscuits and gravy. Everything was incredibly filling and delicious. They apparently use locally picked blueberries for the pancakes. The food tasted homemade and was exactly what I wanted out of a small town diner. It's small and can get pretty busy. Service is good, but not great if you're in a hurry. Personally, I liked the slow pace. read more

We were at a weekend event at Gingerman and looking for a restaurant that wasn't in South Haven. So we gave this place a try. It's about 4 miles East of Gingerman. PROs: Food was very good. Not too busy for breakfast. We had the haystack, the blueberry pancake, the country skillet, and bacon for breakfast. The pancake was huge and the size of the plate. Server was nice. They have 2 seating areas, one closer to the kitchen with no windows and another one in an enclosed patio type area with lots of windows. We liked it so much for breakfast that we went back for lunch a couple of days later. The first time, we sat near the kitchen. The second time, we sat in the enclosed patio. Both were nice. CONs: Coffee is weak. Tap water tastes metallic. At lunchtime, it is very busy, so it takes a long time to get food. In summary, we'd definitely go back for the food, but would avoid the tap water. We liked having a place to go that wasn't in South Haven, since downtown South Haven is super busy and hard to find parking. Country Fare has their own parking lot, although it's small and gravel topped. For lunch, the lot was full, so we parked directly across the street in Family Dollar's paved lot. read more

We were out visiting estate sales and found this place on Yelp. OMG. Fabulous breakfast, sweet server and very reasonable prices. Bacon (4 strips), eggs over easy (perfectly cooked), hash browns (crispy and tasty) and a biscuit. Wife had one egg, one strip and a blueberry pancake (Grand Junction IS the blueberry capital of MI). All good. Not too many options in the area but we'd drive out of our way to return. read more

We loved our omelettes and blueberry pancakes. First time, will be back! Saw people having the peanut butter brownie topped with ice cream. We were just too full. read more

If you were to look for a perfect example of "down home cooking", it would have to be this place. From the old school decor, staff, and local patrons to the food, it's on point. Our server, Marsha, was awesome. Great suggestions, opinions that were thoughtful as well as funny ("never trust a skinny waitress" was one example), and a genuine warmth and friendliness that keeps people coming back. Grand Junction is the blueberry capital of Michigan so I definitely tried their blueberry pancakes. Well...Just one as it was over a foot across! Forget "farm to table" hype...these were grown a few blocks away! Next was this sinful thing called the Haystack: a huge pile of hash browns, 3 eggs, sausage gravy, and cheese along with toast and sausage links. All the flavors were spot on, cooked just right, and served quick. If you're ever in W. Michigan, get yourself over to Grand Junction for breakfast and maybe meet Marsha. read more

Be sure to call before visiting. Although the sign on the door said "open until 2 PM", when we arrived at 1:04 we were told "sorry we closed at 1 o'clock today." This left us hungry with no other options in town. read more

This is a great little restaurant! Very nice decor and great food! The waitress was very friendly. She knew most of the locals.

Just a little place very near the Kal-Haven trail. Diner at its best. Friendly, fast and good portion. Great eyesight into the kitchen. If they arent afraid to show you, vim not afraid to eat there... Lol. Comfortable and family friendly. Try it soon. read more

My husband and I travel from Chicago for a quick trip. The town was good, locals were nice. We decided to stop at this breakfast place at 8:30. Small typical restaurant. My husband had the country fried steak, it was very salty. I had pancakes and bacon which were good. Here's where we had a bad experience, the table next to us paid when we arrived, everyone left but this old white guy with a veteran green hat. He position his chair facing our table and proceeded to watch us eat. While shaking his leg, out of frustration and anger. You can tell he was a regular by how comfortable he was making us feel uncomfortable. I kept staring back, even after my husband got up and paid he kept looking at my son and I with anger. My husband saw my discomfort and said, "don't say anything he's sick in the head from racism". The waitress were nice but they rushed us out!!. Picking up our plates when I wasn't done packing. They saw Whatt that man was doing.I come from the industry and the waitress are always aware of everything in that building. The manager or workers could've done more. Espicially since he paid at the beginning of our arrival they could've shooed him away. but just this is just a warning for any one coming out of town to always carry . There's still ppl out there who hate you for your color in your skin. ( not that it mattersbut we are Mexican Americans with fair skin tone) read more

Had time for another visit today. A new addition for extra seating offers sunny comfort. Now serving brewed iced tea; thank you very much. Went with a traditional breakfast and really enjoyed it. Great bacon; eggs a little overcooked; home fries aggressively seasoned and some garlic in the mix tasted a little burnt. Had a bite of the Belgian Waffle; seemed a little tough to me. This is a nice small town restaurant doing a good job. Vicky provided great service. read more

My wife and I went hiking the Kal Haven trails but stopped here for a little breakfast prior to going. We had great service. The prices were very fair. The food was excellent. Definitely will go back. It's a very small, unique mom-and-pop place not real large or fancy , but these are the places we enjoy and try to support. read more

A nice little local place! Food was fantastic, portions were huge, and the BEST blueberry pancake I have ever had! Great coffee as well. Service was fantastic as well! read more

Mom and Pop type breakfast/lunch place. It is clean and the food was hot, fresh and good. We split a Haystack; made of eggs, hashbrowns with cheese and gravy. The iced tea came with fresh lemon on request. It is located literally across the tracks from the kal-haven trail, 10 miles outside of South Haven. Service was ok, perhaps we hit a busy time as we waited about an hour for our food. read more

Food was okay, not exciting enough to return tomorrow, trying a different place tomorrow. Service was good.

some days the food is ok for a small town and then others you can tell they cheaped out on the ingredients, sliced sausage link In biscuits and gravy with doughy biscuits. why would I pay to eat there when there are so many places that care about what they feed customers read more

Burgers and grilled cheese were good. Glad to see some outside picnic tables in these times. Bathrooms new and clean. Food was ready on time. Stopped here from bike trail. read more

Country Fare Restaurant - Hunting season where the hunters eat. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Junction, Michigan

Country Fare is right up the road from where we were visiting some relatives, and we are kicking ourselves that we had yet to ever try it until now. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but they are producing some mighty fine food. We picked up stuff to go: bacon mushroom swiss burger (w/fries and slaw), cheese burger (w/fries and applesauce), grilled cheese, and a breakfast sandwich - bacon, egg, and cheese on an english muffin. Everything was excellent! The burgers were so juicy, and just perfect. The fries were hand cut. All bacon involved in the meal was cooked just right. The next day, as we were headed out of town, we swung by to pick up a couple grilled cinnamon rolls. So good. They offer a pretty extensive breakfast menu - served all day, plus a bunch of sandwiches - reuben, fish, chicken, philly steak, and all kinds of burgers to name a few. There are also appetizers, wraps, a couple dinner items, and more. I'm excited for the next time we are visiting Grand Junction. Not only will we enjoy our time with our family, but we can grab some fantastic food too! I can't get that burger out of my head. read more

If your looking for some really good breakfast or lunch stop here!!! We got the breakfast and it was amazing.

It came with bacon and I'm not talking that weak one or 2 undercooked piece of bacon this was 5 pieces of amazing bacon. Also had the corned beef and hash which was great. Overall a solid place .....check them out read more

Country Fare Restaurant - The haystack meal. Amazing!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Junction, Michigan

Small country restaurant with friendly servers. After waiting for 5 minutes and being ignored I asked for a menu. The waitresses didn't seem very experienced. I ordered the haystack breakfast which said scrambled eggs. I asked to cook my eggs over easy and I was told they were too busy to do that! WHAT??? How much more difficult is it to do over easy than scrambled??? So much for customer service! They seemed short of help both in the kitchen and on the floor. Much confusion as far as getting the right order to the right table. My breakfast finally arrived! It was huge, hot and delicious! The sausage patties were gr8, tasted homemade! read more

Was OK for breakfast. I had the Haystack. The hash browns could have been cooked "more crisp" Service was good Will return on future. read more

Ordered Food for myself two kids and friend.. waited over an hour while 7 people came in and were served with drinks and food within 16 minutes of entering. Wish I could review the food, but when your kids keep telling you their hungry while watching everyone else eat.. you kinda want to leave and get them food. Do Not Recommend. read more

Hometown food! Super good and tasty! You must stop here, it's like a ma & pa restaurant. This is one of those places that you cannot judge by the outside or style inside. The food is so good! read more

5 stars because it was a completely unexpected, wholly satisfying experience. We were bicycling the Kal-Haven Trail from South Haven and at the 10 mile mark almost brushed by Grand Junction. Lunch pangs calling, we stumbled upon Country Fare which, at first glance, looks like a run-down ghost town kind of place where you expect a combination server-cook to dust off the grill to make whatever available thing he's got to cook. But on closer inspection there's something going on here. There's a neon-inked whiteboard sign out front announcing the daily specials that imply creative fresh food and a distinct welcome vibe. There's chatter from within that suggests a positive experience. The five of us enter and are greeted with warm enthusiasm by two local women who happily put a couple of table together to accommodate the 5 of us. The small room is half full, a nice combination of passersby and regulars - individuals who clearly eat here every day at the same time bc their place is set for them with their beverage just a minute or 2 before they enter. A good sign. The place is only open until 2p, so no one's burned out and service comes with a ready smile. We ate omelettes, burgers, and breakfasty stuff covered in sausage gravy. All excellent. We entered what appeared to be a dilapidated environment and left chatting up its remarkable charms. Would happily, enthusiastically, hungrily return. read more

Stopped in for breakfast after a friend I had been camping with recommended it. Doesn't look like much from the outside, just a small place off the road with a small country feel interior. We were starving and needed coffee and the staff went above and beyond to accomodate our group! We were even served an "appetizer" blueberry pancake which was the size of a large pizza and was absolutely fantastic! I ordered a skillet which was fresh, hot and delicious and the perfect breakfast before hitting the road. I can't stress enough how great the staff and service was, they were so sweet would love to stop in again sometime! read more

The worst meal I've had in years. First off, the water was a little yellow, and tasted awful. The fries and bacon were both obviously reheated from earlier in the day. Hamburger looked like a frozen Gordon food service patty and the cheese was not melted. Even my 8 year old would not eat her food. The breakfast my wife ordered wasn't any better. read more

Breakfast served all day. I had a veggie omelet with a feta cheese spread. My honey had the strip steak and egg special. he said all was great though the steak could have used a bit more seasoning. I'm giving them 5 stars because of the hospitality. Food would be a 4 star, delicious and will be back to try more menu items. Great team working there! Can't wait to see y'all next visit. read more

This is one of the best secret places to eat. The food is always good and really well priced!

Excels at the basics: good food, good prices, good service. Does all this consistently and in a very clean environment.
