The place is cute and clean. I got the eggs Benedict from the daily specials and it was so good. Food came quick and service was good. I would recommend this place, I just wish they would add eggs benedict to the normal menu!! read more

I've been to Dilbert's three times while vacationing in northern Michigan and this greasy spoon diner 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! read more

Great food, wide variety, friendly service. Definitely worth the trip for Interlochen families.

Friendly and quick service. Large portions. This place is nothing fancy, you won't find any gf or dd options outside of the norm, but still good. read more

Dilbert's - Eggs, bacon, hash browns with fried sourdough toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Interlochen, Michigan

Great food, staff and quick service. Serves breakfast until 2 pm when they close for the day. Closed Tuesdays.

Such a yummy restaurant with fair prices and lovely staff that really makes happy campers! I ordered the vegetarian omelette with ham and it was loaded with absolute goodness!! Omelette was fluffy and golden stuffed with spinach, mushroom, tomatoes, and delicious thick cuts of ham. It came with a side of sourdough toast spread with butter. I had 3 coffee refills as well :) The only downside was it was pretty packed in a tiny dinning space. There was outside seating but since it was raining we waited for a table inside. We got seated rather quickly though! Will come again when traveling northern Michigan read more

Dilbert's - Dilbert's Cafe! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Interlochen, Michigan

Stopped by for lunch. I have not been here before but my boyfriend has in the past while on fishing trips. Ordered the club sandwich, fish sandwich and clam chowder. It was basic diner food, my fish sandwich had a very small peice of fish and the bread had to much butter on it. read more

Good food at a good price. Your basic diner done right. We went here for breakfast on vacation with a gift card we got from our Airbnb. No complaints. It was fast and the food was good. Giving it four stars as it wasn't something super memorable read more

My first visit to Dilbert's for breakfast. The CB Hash was excellent. Breakfast arrived quickly, but my coffee refill was slow to come, and didn't arrive until I was almost done with my breakfast. The noise level was too loud with normal adult conversation, and I found myself shoveling my breakfast in because of the din. When the screaming child arrived with the parents who didn't seem to notice and the wait staff who didn't seem to care, Dilbert's was too much for me. Breakfast is served until 2:00, so I might try again when it's quieter. If you are sensitive to loud restaurants but enjoy a reasonably-priced good breakfast, I recommend going to Dilbert's with a strategy. And it might be helpful if Dilbert's added some sound-absorbing features. read more

Average food at average prices and below average ambiance. The food filled my belly and I didn't get sick. Cheerful staff and good location.

Great service and the omelets and pancakes were very tasty. Reasonable prices. Would return.

Never a disappointing breakfast. Service is good I have only eaten in once I always order carry out.

We love Dilbert's breakfast and try to go once every time we are visiting up north! The service is always great and FAST even when they are really busy and all of the servers are very nice and pleasant. This is a seat yourself, cozy, little place with great breakfast! The omelets, cinnamon rolls, and breakfast burritos are sooo yummy and don't forget to try the stuffed hash browns! read more

Excellent breakfast! Classic diner fare done perfectly, we were very impressed and had a great time.

Wow the best breakfast ever & they have my favorite Hot Sauce Franks Red Hot. The service and atmosphere is really friendly. read more

Dilbert's - Corned beef hash. Homage corned beef. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Interlochen, Michigan

Loved the place and the food was delicious. The place is a bit small but I did enjoy it, I will definitely be back.

Dilbert's was fantastic. Our family stopped here to order some breakfast sandwiches to go before our long ride back home, and they had it ready quickly with a friendly attitude and a warm smile. The sandwiches were amazing good and quite filling. This place is a hidden gem away from touristy spots. read more

Great breakfast and lunch. Burgers and omlette both are great. A hidden gem in Benzie countie.

Excellent local atmosphere, great breakfast and service! Took the family and exited with a very fair bill

We were visiting from out of town, Yelp brought us here. Good spot for breakfast, huge portions. Me and my friend's mom ordered the Southern breakfast, while my friend ordered one of the omelettes. We all enjoyed our food. We were making plans to go up to Charlevoix and Petoskey but our phones had no service. I asked someone who was passing by if she could be so kind to provide us with their their wifi password. She replied "NO! .. we don't share that!". Excuse me?? She then continued, "we want you to talk to each other". We were trying to research the area online to plan the rest of our trip, nothing more. Lady, why don't you mind your own business and let your customers enjoy their time there. Who cares if they choose to use a phone or not. Karen turned into a control freak. And as that wasn't rude enough, she also asked, "why don't you use YOUR data?" Karen: data is free with your wifi, does not cost you anything extra for us logging in. I have unlimited data on my phone, but the problem is your signal. There is no signal in your restaurant as you're located in a remote area. If you feel our presence is annoying, then not worth our time there. Good luck Karen. read more

Fantastic breakfasts, friendly staff, and cozy environment. Highly recommend. Weekend get pretty busy.

Looking for a place to grab breakfast before going steelhead fishing we noticed this restaurant on Yelp and had trouble finding it. There was no sign on the road or it was possibly covered in snow. Once we came inside we were greeted by a witty, cheerful waitress that clearly enjoyed her job. We were excited when 10 minutes later our breakfast showed up at the table and the portions were large. Everything look good and remained that way until we took our first bite. While the food looked wonderful it lacked any flavor whatsoever. We ordered a cheese steak omelet, which tasted more like a tofu omelet. There was little flavor to no flavor. What we did notice was it almost seemed like the used eight eggs. It was large. We had to struggle to find the meat. The pancakes, however were just like you'd get at a Denny's or small diner. On the other hand, the maple pumpkin pie was way better than we expected. Even though the waitress discouraged us from ordering it because she said it didn't sound good I was impressed and would order it again. Yum. If you're cruising through town and looking for a place to order breakfast without spending too much money this is your spot. You can expect food similar to what you would get at a Ihop or Denny's. If that's ok with you - you'll enjoy this place thoroughly. We, however, were looking for something with a little more quality and flavor. read more

Doughy/starchy breakfast food. Lacks lightness and or flaky quality. Tastes heavy, sits heavy.

Make sure to read the sign on the door.. Please seat yourself at any CLEAN table. We were not the only ones reprimanded for this. There were only two waitresses for this little gem and they were working their butts off! I had to order the stuffed hash browns and there was no need to order them extra crispy as they came out just right. I had the ham in mine with two eggs over easy and a piece of wheat toast. You only get one piece of toast, but it's plenty big! My mother in law ordered a pecan pancake as her side and it was so good. I will definitely go back here. Everything on the chalkboard looked amazing for dinner or dessert and the prices cannot be beat! read more

Dilbert's - The stuffed hash browns are legit!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Interlochen, Michigan

They have a wonderful southern omelette. Also the stuffed hash brown is next level good.

This is hometown locals, family friendly, great food at its best! My over-medium eggs are perfectly cooked with the yolk running and the whites hard. A cook that knows what they are doing! The toast is made from thick flavorful bread...not some store bought, processed compacted sawdust. Got the Dilberts hashbrowns with ham. Asked that the cook not use salt at the grill and was told, "The cooks don't use salt on anything." Bonus: It's really clean & the service is fantastic. The only problem is...I don't libe anywhere near here...time to move! read more

Our first time here today. Staff very friendly, coffee very good. My husband had the HOMEMADE corned beef hash plate which he said was amazing. I went simple and had eggs, bacon and sour dough toast. All were amazing. Some of the best bacon I've ever had. Worth the drive from anywhere!! read more

You know it is a good breakfast place when your coffee never gets empty. Portion sizes are generous, coffee is good, and the waitstaff never stop moving. It is standard American breakfast food... but the balance of ingredients is good... unless you go for the over-the-top items... (over-the-top in a wholesome, but probably not healthy way). read more

Best breakfast in town! Actually, it's probably the best breakfast in all of northern Michigan! The whole menu is great really. Wait staff is wonderful. There bread is to die for! All home cooking and definitely the best fountain soda in the area! read more

Legit diners are oddly rare. This was legitimately one of the better omelets I've had. The eggs were actually fluffy the way omelets are supposed to be! The ham, cheddar, onion, and tomato was delicious. I thought it odd that hash browns didn't come with the omelet, but it was still only $10 total with hash browns on the side so it wasn't a big deal. I do wish they had fresh-squeezed orange juice. They do not. I'm willing to pay the premium for it. read more

What a cute breakfast place! We're staying in Interlochen and wanted a diner breakfast. The food is great! The western omelette was fluffy and flavorful & the border burrito was delicious. Ate it too fast to take a picture. :) read more

We're staying at a rental cabin in Interlochen, so decided to find a local spot for lunch. Yelp sent us to Dilbert's. I still wasn't sure, as it doesn't look much like a diner from outside. Then we sat for a while before being waited on, even at 2 in the afternoon. But then the food came. Oh my. I had ordered a wet burrito, no tomatoes on top. Hubby got the Friday all you can eat perch. He said it was terrific. My burrito was huge, meat platter sized. I could only eat half, even though I came in hungry. The picture is the half waiting in the fridge. It's delicious, not over-spiced, and even the lettuce on it was fresh and crisp. The only negative was a little old man who hobbled over to me and wanted me to take (buy?) one of his framed pictures of the Mormon Tabernacle Church. He assured me he has a lot of them, but I assured him I didn't need one. Awkward. But if that's the price of eating at Dilbert's, pay it. read more

Dilbert's - The remains of a huge wet burrito. In the takeout carton, it still felt at least 3 pounds! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Interlochen, Michigan

What a simple, yet highly accommodating spot for breakfast. For some reason, I had my doubts, but was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed Dilbert's famous stuffed hash browns, with two eggs over easy, bacon, and a pancake. Wow! "Inside" was chopped onions and sour cream. It was delicious. Overall, our group of 7 adults and 4 children were extremely satisfied with our down-home cooking, ranging from pancake stacks, "the best French toast of my life", biscuits and gravy, and delicious shredded hash browns. read more

Enjoyed the Friday fish fry and it was pretty good. The Coleslaw was the dry type, so I ignored it. The fries were half crispy and half not, but coming to a fish fry, your mainly looking for the fish. Had the cod and it was excellent. Came out hot, lightly crispy and very tasty. Definitely a fish fry. read more

It is a good meal for a diner. If you are in the area it is ok to stop. Got the stuffed hash browns and my eggs were cold when my breakfast came. Coffee was ok. Price is fair. read more

If you want a traditional country breakfast this is the place. Eggs bacon pancakes and the rest all served up fresh and quickly. You get a real hint in this part of the world if a place is good by the amount of cars in the parking lot at 10 am. My scrambled eggs, bacon and rye toast or perfect. read more

Awesome. We stopped here on our way back from the UP and truly enjoyed every part of our experience. This is going to be part of our tradition forever! read more
