I was excited to try Trackside Eatery since I'd never even noticed it during my past visits to…read moreAlbion. Unfortunately, I have more negative things to say than I'd like. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the smell, I know it's an old building, and that comes with the territory, but it's definitely noticeable. The food was disappointing. I ordered a patty melt, which was dry and bland. The one highlight was the jalapeño poppers, those were actually amazing. Our waitress was very sweet and helpful, but things went downhill when there was an error on my tab. She couldn't void it, so asked me to come back later to talk to the owner and he would fix it for me. He was extremely passive aggressive and visibly annoyed about fixing the issue. He made several "jokes" that didn't really feel like jokes, including an out of place comment about the company I work for, saying that if I got in trouble for a Ginger beer charge on my receipt (it was actually a ginger ale, rung in as ginger beer), I should find another job.  He seemed annoyed because Ginger beer is not an alcoholic beverage, which I already knew, but I even had to explain to him that I worked in HR for my company and needed to follow rules. I shouldn't have to explain myself to a vendor. It is my right as a customer to have an accurate receipt and definitely not my fault that as a business owner, he didn't learn how to operate his POS. Overall, not a great experience. Between the smell, poor food, and uncomfortable interaction with the owner, I won't be coming back.

We're here in the central part of the state of Michigan doing a 22 mile bike ride on the beautiful…read moreFalling Waters Trail between the cities of Jackson and Concord. Upon arriving in the small town of Concord (population 1,200) after the first 11 miles, we were thrilled to see the breakfast cafe on Main Street open for business. My wife and I have been loyal customers of this little cafe when bike riding through Concord over the past 10 years. During that period, it was known by two other names: the Silver Spoon Cafe and the Concord Cafe. Unfortunately, like so many small restaurants, this eatery closed its doors during the year of the pandemic. Riding up today, we noticed the familiar purple awning on Main Street still proclaims "The Concord Cafe". However, after changing hands and getting an interior facelift, it re-opened 30 days ago (May of 2021) as Mel's Place! After walking in the door, we quickly met the new owner Mel...short for Melinda. We enjoyed chatting with her about the renovation she did in exposing the hundred year-old brick in the minimalist and spotless dining room. We then got down to business ordering a pair of Veggie Omelettes with sliced tomatoes and raisin toast while nursing our fresh brewed cups of hot coffee. Our breakfasts at Mel's were spectacular...just like they had been over the years when we had patronized this small business under previous owners. For this Yelper, a delicious breakfast halfway through a 22-mile bike ride is a great motivator. Based on the excellent quality food and friendly small-town service, I expect Mel's Place to quickly build a solid reputation among the many recreational bikers that frequent the Falling Waters Trail. Five stars all day long.

The key lime bar -- it's perfection. I just wish they had one in Texas!

My husband and I also got a few donuts and a cold brew coffee to split. The bagel and donuts were great. We got the glazed yeast donuts and they were melt in your mouth, just like I like 'em. The bagel, baked in house I believe, was also good, as was the cold brew (I just wish that had been a simple syrup available to add since I do like my cold brew just a touch sweet). Staff was SO kind and helpful, and the space is clean and spacious with plenty of seating in the dining room. Desserts looked ridiculously tasty but we were on the road and it's hard to eat that on the go. Next time!

First of all, to the person who gave this restaurant a one star review and said it's not true…read moreMexican, thank-you! That's what got me to come try this place. Don't get me wrong, I do love true Mexican food, but I also love Tex-Mex, Arizona-Mex, and New-Mex. It annoys me when all of the Mexican restaurants in an area are basically the same thing. Now, as for what I got and what I thought, unfortunately I had already eaten by the time I learned of this restaurant's existence. I wasn't hungry but decided to stop in just to try a cheese enchilada. I've been obsessed lately with Texas-style cheese enchiladas like what I grew up with. This enchilada awakened a long-dormant memory from my childhood before my parents divorced around 1983. In my recent research into Texas enchiladas, I learned that alongside the popular Taco Tuesday there is also an Enchilada Wednesday, and it originates apparently in San Antonio, TX where the public school system has served cheese enchiladas for lunch on every Wednesday for over 50 years and counting. According to what I've read, it's hands down the most popular meal of the week, and many kids who bring sack lunches the rest of the time will buy lunch in the cafeteria on Wednesdays so they can get the enchiladas. They're that popular. Well, I briefly went to elementary school in San Antonio in the early 80s and would have had them, but I didn't remember them. But trying this enchilada here today brought back the memory of eating cheese enchiladas in San Antonio as a kid. This was San Antonio-style enchiladas and the closest I've had to them in many years. So you can keep your "true Mexican" food. I'll stick to the true Tex-Mex food like I grew up eating in Texas and, later, Arkansas. And what I had today at the Lopez Taco House was it! (It was also really nice having green sauce that wasn't just green because of tomatillos but actually had some good heat and flavor from various chilies. It also reminded me of Texas.)
