The atmosphere is light and open. Service is very patient, speedy, and friendly. The food quality meets the prices and is very tasty.

We stopped in for breakfast after running 6 legs of a 200 mile relay race. The food was hot and tasty and our waitress kept the coffee coming! Loved it! read more

Nice home town feel. The servers seemed to know everyone by name and what they like. The food took a little long to arrive at the table after ordering but it was delicious. Their corned beef hash is outstanding. read more

Gary's Restaurant - Delicious. Vegetarian omelette. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Whitehall, Michigan

See all

Excellent food and great service! I took my son here for a "date" this last Monday night. I had the pulled pork on a pretzel bun. OMG - this was delicious! I was pleasantly surprised at the gourmet flavor - not just another Gordon Food Service entree kind of place. I was also surprised to find out that they had the elusive Founders KBS on tap! Who would've thought this small family restaurant in Whitehall, Michigan would have such good food and great beer!?!? read more

Been here several times. Deliciously adequate food. Great service every time. Menu is a good variety of Diner food. Love to always go back.

We went for breakfast coming from the municipal harbor on white lake. About a mile or so walk. Friendly and prompt staff took our orders and breakfast showed up quickly. Very reasonable prices for all American type breakfasts. Try the blueberry pancakes. Bacon/eggs/omelettes were all good. read more

Great service, great food! Jessi was our waitress and Nate was the cook. Both did an excellent job. Thank you.

Good food. Good service. Nice place to go for a drink and get dinner or snacks. Family friendly environment. Fun stuff to do in the evenings too. read more

Restaurant was clean. Service was good. I would describe as an American Family restaurant. Their burgers are 1/2 lb (which I find ridiculously large) but it is good to know they will do 1/4 lb if you request it. Burger was not memorable but mac n Cheese was pretty good. read more

The male bartender is very rude, totally ignored me when I stepped up to the bar to have a Keno ticket ran, had his hand out to take my money and run it when someone at the bar said as soon as your done there with him get me a beer? He turned and said "thought you'd never ask" and turned away and got her beer" then came back and ran my ticket? Seriously?!! How fricken rude!! Then when he brought my ticket just laid it on the counter and walked away .. Never even saying thank you or another word?! Umm NOT impressed with the service with him at all, and not the first time having a bad experience with him either. Think he needs to be talked to or find another line of work that doesn't involve working with customers/people! read more

Great place for breakfast. Very friendly service. Local, hometown feel. We have a cottage here on White Lake, and love coming to the local restaurants. We always feel welcome. The stuffed hash browns were a hit with my husband. read more

Very good food! Home cooking is always the best! The Chefs salad is enough for 2 people! Never had a bad or even mediocre meal yet!

Food was tasty, however the menu was quite limited. Service started off great but got slower and slower even though the crowd was thinning. I think they may have short staffed at the time of our visit. read more

Our first and possibly last time here. The menu looked fabulous and when we finally got some of our food, it was great. However, the service was awful. Our waitress didn't bother to write down our order, and missed about half of it. The half we got was somewhat correct- wrong side items, etc. She wouldn't even make eye contact most of the time. Not impressed. read more

Good food prices average. Service is a little show especially if it is moderate for being busy. Expect to be there an hour at least to sit get service order and eat. So go if you don't have to get anywhere in a rush read more

My family has been going here for years on a weekly basis and never had a bad experience with food or service until now. My mom left her cell phone in a booth, when she went there the staff(who knew who my mom was) blew her off instead of helping. I called back asking if they had found it and they said no but your mom can come back when it's slow and dig around herself to look for it...they thought they hung up the phone but I was still on the line when they proceeded to say what a "what is wrong with these fu#king morons who keep calling back and showing up for a phone and what idiots we must be for leaving it." and went on a few minute rant about us with colorful language. Needless to say it was a major turn off and I won't be returning. read more

Great breakfast. Also stopped in from relay group and had a fantastic breakfast. Group had waffles, pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, and omelettes. Coffee was great. Service was spot on! read more

Great food, fast service, and really friendly waitresses. I had the "go-to breakfast", and it was everything I wanted this morning.

After dropping a traveler at the Lake Express and heading back north, breakfast was in order. We were not too eager for fast food and decided to venture a little off of 31 to go to Gary's. This was a worth while venture off! The place was packed at 10a, with seating being at shared tables. I enjoyed the breakfast special of banana bread French toast with a side of turkey links. My companion rated his stuffed hash browns as well worth a return visit. The service is fast paced but still attentive. A bonus to the meal was the conversation we shared with our table mate who advised that he has been enjoying Gary's biscuits and gravy five days a week for the past several years! Now that is a true regular. read more

This is what a small town restaurant should be: bustling and friendly. They are not the fastest at getting the food out, but the quality is solid and the prices are reasonable. So if you aren't in a huge hurry and not looking for a gourmet meal, then Gary's will not disappoint. read more

My daughter and I stopped here for lunch on our way up to Ludington. I had the grilled turkey and cheese, sweet potato fries, and ice tea. Everything was fresh and homemade from the roasted turkey to the tea to the bread! Great food and great service! Yum!! read more

The pancakes are amazing! The restaurant is well maintained and has a very friendly atmosphere. 10/10, will be back.

I had a steak salad here without high expectations. It was much better than I had anticipated and the waiter that took care of us was very nice and helpful. We'll be back. read more
