    Fully loaded cheeseburgers

    I've got quite a large family and every time we come here for dinner we're greeted with attitude, we always make sure to tip well and be as courteous as possible, but it seems to me the wait staff and the cook move at their own pace. The food is delicious! Just takes quite some time for it to come to your table :( It's an old timey kind of feel to the place , pull tab machine and a scratch off machine which is cool! Is just love to see some new faces in there for staff, it's always the same grumpy ladies as before

    We were VERY happy with our time here. I imagine when things are back to full staff, it'll be even better. I recommend the Reuben and 100% would recommend the curly fries. Prices were great. We stopped by around noon on a Friday on our way up the Thumb for an adventure. We had the Reuben, burgers, pretzels with cheese, and curly fries. And I'd do it all again! Only issue with our time there: waitress was not wearing a mask, but she did keep her distance when she saw we were being more cautious.

    We waited for 1 1/2 hours still no food. We walked out with just paying for our drinks! Terrible service...never again!

    This is a 3.5 for me, rounding up to 4…read more I came here with a bunch of friends and had a nice meal! I love the cozy lodge atmosphere: it's pretty spacious inside, clean, and not too noisy (able to have good conversations without shouting). The server was also pretty attentive and friendly. Here's the food I tried: - Tater logs: giant delicious tater tots with cheese inside - "Walleye": It wasn't true walleye, but Alaska Pollock. However, I appreciate they disclosed that. It had great flavor and texture similar to lake walleye. The green beans were fresh and the rice pilaf was very flavorful with carrots and celery (not packaged minute rice) - Catfish: heavy breading, humongous portion. Catfish was never my favorite fish and this didn't change my mind. I appreciate the big portions, quality food, and great atmosphere. There aren't many restaurant options in the area, but this is definitely a good one!

    We visited eighteen87 in Harbor Beach this past weekend for breakfast. The restaurant itself is…read moresuper cute, with lots of signs, pictures, and little details decorating the walls. It has a charming, cozy feel and was definitely a cute spot to stop while we were in town. We were seated right away by our server, Lily. She was polite and informative about the menu, although when we asked for recommendations, she unfortunately didn't have anything specific to suggest and mostly just told us that everything was good. We were originally seated in a booth to the right of the entrance, but once we placed our order, we asked if we could move. Freezing cold air was blowing directly onto the table at full blast, and after sitting there for a while, we just couldn't take it anymore. Once we moved to another table, it was MUCH more comfortable! Our children ordered a bagel with cream cheese, chocolate chip pancakes, regular pancakes, sausage, and fruit. They don't have a traditional children's menu, but we found out that you can order a child-sized portion of pancakes, which is one pancake instead of a full order. This worked perfectly for our youngest. I ordered the Monte Cristo crepe with a side of hash browns, and my husband ordered the Eggs Benedict. Our youngest child's pancake was initially forgotten, but once we mentioned it, they were able to make it quickly and get it to the table. The food itself was good, and we really didn't have any complaints about what we ordered. Unfortunately, the service after our food arrived was where our experience started to fall short. Our waitress didn't return to our table for quite a while, and we eventually had to flag down other staff members to get syrup, ketchup, and hot sauce that we had requested but never received. At the end of our meal, we asked for a carryout box and our bill, but unfortunately seemed to be forgotten again. After waiting around 15 minutes, I was getting up to take the kids outside because they were understandably losing their ability to sit still. Our waitress made eye contact with us, seemed to realize we were still waiting, and quickly brought the bill over. Thankfully, we were able to get out pretty quickly after that. Overall, the food was good and the restaurant itself was adorable, but the service could have been much more attentive, especially considering it wasn't very busy that morning. That booth directly under the air vent also definitely needs to be addressed--BURRRR! The food itself isn't the reason for the drop in stars. Our rating is based more on the lack of attentive service and the uncomfortable temperature at our original table. Hopefully those are things that can be addressed in the future, because eighteen87 is a cute breakfast spot with good food and a lot of potential.

    It pains me to leave a mere two-star review but I couldn't find much to like here. The quaint…read moreambience, friendly service (we were one of the first guests to arrive on a Friday morning mid-May) and fresh brewed decaf were the highlights. The food, which is most important, was a big disappointment. I am a cinnamon roll connoisseur and was so excited to try the rolls that past Yelpers raved about. They were out of caramel today so we ordered the grilled roll with pecans and homemade buttercream frosting. It looked dry and tasted even drier. Barely warm, flourey and tasteless. The frosting was the best part. The menu of choices looks wonderful and diverse for a small cafe. I was delighted to see shrimp and grits. The skillet was very small, the food was hot (a plus) but it was heavy on the grits, which lacked flavor and space on shrimp (only 4), sausage and sauce. I ate the toppings with half the grits and left the rest. My husband ordered the hoagie sandwich with hash browns. His comment was "a lot of bread and minimal filling" with "luke warm" hash browns that were more spongy than crispy. It's hard to go wrong with breakfast, but somehow Lazy Toaster has missed the mark. The concept is fun, the menu is great, yet the recipes and preparation could use some major improvements. The tab ($41 for two) was not bad, but was high for the quality. We liked the decor yet felt the cleanliness was lacking (sticky floors and no paper towels in the bathroom). A breakfast place in East Tawas is a plus; I hope this cafe commits to some improvements and stays around.

Accompanying hash browns were equally well made and tasty where just the right amount of grease/butter was used to make my food (no greasy food here!). This all too often is an issue you see with these small breakfast centric restaurants up north that I was so pleased not to see here at the Lazy Toaster. Relative to the restaurant and staff, Lazy Toaster has a nice comfortable rustic "Up north" feel to it which I enjoyed where the staff was super friendly with great follow up throughout the meal and and where they are definately on top of their game when it comes to Coffee top-offs. Nice! Overall, this is definately one of the better breakfast spots in the greater Tawas/Oscoda/Harrisville area and is now on my short list of go to restaurants in the area.
