    Eggs and meat
    Elise A.

    Pretty good food and prices. I got the eggs and meat, it tasted pretty good, the service was also fast.

    Scrambled eggs, fresh 'hash browns', bacon and raisin toast.

    Delicious food, good service nice ambiance. I was happy with fresh potatoes fried nicely. I had scramble eggs and they were done nicely. Although a small portion. The bacon was great! Fried flat crispy and tasty! The raisin toast was good as well. All in all a nice breakfast experience!

    Little breakfast place in Whitehall on the main street that goes thru town. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's pretty great. I guess you'd call it diner food. The servers are very efficient and kind. The pancakes are wonderful. They cook an English Muffin better than I've ever tasted ... the perfect amount of crispness and crevices full of butter. In the outdoor seating area there are beautiful flowers everywhere. I'm a fan!

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

    Our Michigan friends have brought us to explore Glen Arbor and on our way back, we desperately…read moreneeded food. We decided to try this place and were surprisingly blown away! Being a burger joint, we obviously ordered everything but the burgers lol. We had a long trip ahead and didn't wanna feel too greasy but looking over at other tables later, the burgers looked delicious. I got the peach salad that came with curried pumpkin seeds and shredded asiago and croutons. I added grilled chicken for $4. I wished there were some fresh peaches on it but the salad was tossed in a peach dressing instead. The croutons also tasted like fried pieces of sandwich bread. I will say, I was so pleasantly surprised by how delicious this salad was! Holy cow, after a few days of camping, having vegetables was one thing, having this salad changed my outlook on life. My fiancé was a little saddened by the fact that we will be no where near this place (from Connecticut) becuase he thoroughly enjoyed his brisket wrap. Maybe it's the Mid Western charm and hospitality, but our experience was so great. After getting the bill, our waiter (who had two colored socks on and my friend thought he only had one, but alas, one sock was just black while the other was a hot pink) offered us our drinks to go and brought us back a full cup of iced tea and Dr Pepper. Our table of four left with a $70 bill which was fantastic, given that the food also satiated us to the best degree. All the way from CT, I wanna say: thank you Michigan. And thank you to the Gnarly Heifer, even though we did not taste your Heif.

    Wow! The reviews were right! This is a great place. I highly recommend you stop by and check it out.read more

They fit in a impressive amount of seating in small area. The kitchen is open to view and gets the food out at Food Truck speeds. I call the food style as a Bbq and Mexican fusion, not sure what they call it. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you as each dish is ready. The Menu is very yummy, making it hard to choose. I couldn't decide between the Monte Cristo ($9.50) and the Ricki Bobby Burrito ($12). So I chose both, mixed half and half, and had a 2nd meal for the next day. They were both excellent with high quality ingredients. The portion sizes were very good and cooked to perfection. I preferred the burrito, but that's no knock on the Monte. They also include a side with each meal. I got Texas Mac n Cheese and Double Fried Spuds. Both of the sides were very good, however the spuds were very salty. The person I was with got the Smoked Bbq Spare Ribs with Slaw ($15). She stated both were excellent. On a side note the next day meal reheated perfectly. The service was speedy and friendly, even when they got slammed. Overall an easy 5 star review. If your ever near Whitehall this should be a must stop. Will I return? Absolutely! In fact please open a 2nd location in Grand Rapids!

I love that it's mostly original. They even us the old cash register. Ice cream was good and service was friendly. We didn't get a meal, but it looked great. Only thing I could knock them on was while the service was awesome, they are understaffed. There's just too many people with tourist season here. Parking was an issue for the same reasons and while I don't mind too much going to the atm, it's 2024 and cash and check only businesses can be frustrating. We'll be back for a meal, and it's worth a stop if you're close.
