Kelly is wonderful! She kept our coffee hot and had a nice chat with us. Rumor has it Jolly Plate will be making fresh pizza someday. The wet burrito was hot and tasty, and the fried foods were crispy and flavorful. I would stop on by if you want a tasty meal in a friendly environment. read more

Went to the jolly plater for breakfast. Food was ok not great, but went for the cinnamons roll we were told 7.99 on the menu said 5.99. Owner was the waitress and would not honor the price. Gave the excuse I'm a new small business owner give me a break, well good PR on that one, and it was said rudely and offensively!! If you can't afford new menus then black out the price with your pen and rewrite the new amount. Not good business not to honor. Or make them smaller!!! Not sure I will good back anytime soon!! read more

Jolly Plate - 5.99 hmmm... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scottville, Michigan

One of the best omelettes I've had in a long time. Our server was so helpful. (My only suggestion is to have half and half instead of just nondairy creamer for the coffee.) read more

A+ So happy to finally have a good place to eat near us. Food is great. Love their breakfasts. Cute, country atmosphere and clean! Service is always spot-on - even when busy they are prompt and thorough! read more

Stopped by this darling diner for breakfast on our way down to GR. We were greeted with a warm welcome and a hot tasty cup of coffee. The inside is warm and cheerful, and the staff takes great care to make you feel at home. Our food arrived quickly and was very tasty. We were especially amazed that gluten free bread was available as a toast option! We took a cinnamon bun home (wow! Amazing) along with some prepared sauces that were for sale at the cash register. One of our favorite breakfasts of our trip and we highly recommend. read more

Stop by for breakfast great service, clean, and really enjoyed the the food and reasonable prices

Great food, homemade and tasty. Good prices for the portions. We have eaten here numerous times and always good service!

Rustic space, but the service and food was wonderful. Try the jams they make in house.

Fantastic food and service! We had a delicious breakfast. My husband had an omelette which was loaded with meat and cheese. My bacon and eggs were cooked just right and the homemade jam was to die for. We also picked up cinnamon rolls and a cookie to go. My mouth is watering just thinking about how wonderful they were. We will seek this quaint little diner out when we adventure in Michigan next year. The girls hustled to take care of everyone and I loved hearing about mama's recipes being used. read more

This is a every nice place the server was absolutely nice and sweet the homemade jam is to die for. Can wait to come back next year. Nothing like a full belly on the river. Thank you ladies again read more

The food was terrible. I ordered the pot roast hash and eggs. The "pot roast" was ground beef chopped up. My wife ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was the kind you get out of a frozen bag. Both dishes were priced like they were homemade but they are not. Do yourself a favor and keep driving by this place when considering breakfast. read more

We drove four hours away from home and stopped at this local diner. It is absolutely phenomenal, servers here are super friendly and the food tasted fantastic. Coffee is amazing as well,will definitely be back when I'm in town again! read more

Jolly Plate - Great tasting food! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Scottville, Michigan

Food is average and overpriced, coffee is terrible, political and religious views are shoved down your throat, and service is beyond slow! Gave it a good try many, many times, but just gets worse. A hard no. read more

Always a good experience. Portions are large, and they handmade their desserts. Great service everytime I've been in.

I had the jollier breakfast and man it was delicious. Scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, a pancake plus the best Corned Beef hash I've ever had. I recommend this place for anyone visiting the area. read more

Stopped here with my parents on our way up north. We honestly stopped because the reviews for this place were too good to not try it out for ourselves! Upon arriving we were greeted by the sweetest waitress, who's name i didn't catch but she has purple ponytail. We asked for the ginormous cinnamon roll and she brought it to us within like 2 minutes ( 100% recommend this, she told us that the owners daughter makes them in house along with other cookies and cakes!!! So good!) My dad ordered the Irishman omelette, which he said had a great portion of corned beef and it was very tasty. My mom ordered the Jolly Veg omelette, which she said was delicious. The both got toast and homemade strawberry jam with their meals and they could not stop raving about how good the jam is. I am not much of a breakfast girl, so i decided to go with lunch and ordered the Cuban Pork. And let me tell you, that was one of the best Cuban sandwiches i have had in a while. And to top it all off it was served with homemade potato chips with sriracha on them!! They were amazing. The atmosphere of the Jolly Plate felt so homey and welcoming. Overall the service, food and experience deserves every ounce of recognition. If you're driving past the Jolly Plate it is worth the stop! read more

This establishment is under new ownership as of earlier this year. We ordered biscuits and gravy and their house made corned beef hash. The gravy was well seasoned and the hash was crispy and tasty. The homemade jam was very good too. Our waitress, who is also the new owner, was lovely and attentive. She talked me into taking home a humongous cinnamon roll and I am so glad she did because it was amazing. I loved the small town ambiance of this place too, every body seemed to know everybody. My only complaint, at least for me, was sub par coffee. read more

I mean, the food wasn't bad. I just don't like having all the wait staff wear a bunch of political shirts while I just want to eat eggs and drink my coffee. read more

Had the corned beef hash and eggs on a busy Saturday morning. Had to wait a bit to get in but enjoyed the meal, coffee and friendly service.

Great food and exceptional service! Very pleased with the friendliness and hospitality! Definitely recommend to a friend MB's read more

WOW what a find! This place doesn't look like much driving by but you will sure be glad that you stopped in. The food was really good and fresh. They homemake their deserts and their jam, which is to die for! The waitstaff was very friendly and welcoming. They also had gluten free options that were so good you would never know they were gluten free. Breakfast steaks were perfectly cooked to order, tender, and juicy. The potatoes were fresh not frozen and the eggs were farm fresh. Nothing better than fresh healthy food! read more

The food is definitely delicious. The wait for the food is the problem. We waited even for a cup of coffee. But it worth the wait. But if you're in a hurry definitely not the place for you. read more

Great little restaurant pretty much out in the middle of nowhere...which is it's charm. Great menu for breakfast/lunch. We stopped because we were hungry and other yelpers gave it excellent reviews! read more

Walking into a new Diner in a town that we hadn't been to in years, a town almost in the middle of nowhere. To be honest we weren't expecting much other than just another average meal. Boy were we wrong. It started out by reading things on the menu and on the table which talked about their commitment to organic non-GMO and fresh food. They had some interesting things on the menu nothing too out of the norm but none the less I wasn't expecting the best clam chowder I've ever tasted in my life. It was so good that my son ate a full bowl of it before he ate his pancakes. What 7 year old kid is going to eat seafood soup before pancakes. But he did because it was that good. I had a Reuben and it was phenomenal on fresh bread and it was delicious. We also had a turkey and cheese and a ham and cheese on rye grilled and it was amazing. Everybody's food was delicious the service was phenomenal. Our waitress was Yvette and she was on the move nearly constantly. We had everything we needed either moments after we asked for it or in most cases before we even knew we needed it!! This is a must stop if you're anywhere within 25 miles or more because the food is out of this world. read more

Corner Beef hash (homemade), raisin toast & jelly (also homemade). I want to remember this meal because we WILL be coming back. Cute diner with outdoor seating. Quiet & well designed. Top notch service on top. Highest marks. read more

They have a sign at the door that said, "some of the employees can't wear make please understand" or something to that effect. Not a single employee was wearing a mask. No server not even the cook. It was supper uncomfortable, Would have left if we would have noticed before we ordered our drinks, one of the servers was taking about their views on masks while we waited for food. We couldn't leave fast enough. Food was fine. But this happened during Michigan's second biggest Covid spike this year. Don't eat here. They care more about their world view then the well being of their patrons. You shouldn't be in business if you put others at risk and can't do the bare minimum safety measures. Bare minimum. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!! For those complaining, take a minute and talk to the owner, she couldn't be sweeter! If the lack of masks bothers you, ask the question... health concerns prevent her from wearing them. Our food was great and the people make the atmosphere exceptional! We will be back again and again. All our love from Holland read more

Nothing Jolly about the place with the new owner. Went in for breakfast. Wife asked if potatoes came with omelet. the new Owner who was waitress too said no, but you can get them for extra price. Wife looked at ala cart listings and saw that they were $4.50 for hash browns and said yes for $4.50 and the owner said very rudely and condescendingly, "I can show you my Cisco bill if you want". My wife looked at me and said, 'we're outta here" so we got up and walked out. No way to treat a customer. I've talked to others who live around this area and have had 3 different people tell us that the owner treated them very rude. She won't be in business very long doing this. The previous owner was nice and her wait staff was way better than her. Yelp profile above says Kim B is owner but she to this new owner. We'll never go back and we used to go there all the time when Kim owned the place. Both my wife and I are former restaurant owner's ourselves so we know good service. read more

Excellent service and food! I ordered the jolly plate and an iced coffee. Everything with delicious and the coffee was fresh and toast came with the best homemade jam! read more

This is an outstanding restaurant in the Ludington area! The menu is really fresh and fun! I had a Cheri Salad with chicken, and the greens were so fresh!! And the strawberry vinaigrette dressing was so different and tasty!! My daughter had a chicken and waffle sandwich with smoked Gouda and bacon with home made chips and it was also really tasty! Currently they are only open for breakfast and lunch, but seek out the restaurant... you won't be disappointed!! read more

Fantastic and friendly service. Our waitress was so kind and gave us a couple great recommendations from the menu. We will be in the area again soon and will definitely be back! read more

Great service and great breakfast. Felt like we were eating in our own kitchen. Don't miss the cookies by the register...they are delicious! read more

Three friends & I went to the Jolly Plate on Saturday at 10:30 am, Nov 17th. They were very busy, but we were seated quickly. The intereior has been updated & made much brighter & welcoming by the volors, etc. Our food was delicious. Two had the squash soup with the cute roll & the Cuban sandwich. Another had an omelet with tasty sourdough toast. I had the delicious biscuits & gravy! We'll definitely be back. read more

First time here a couple of years ago was great. Second time not so much. The huge cinnamon roll is just a crack and peel tube cooked into one roll. Save yourself the $7 price tag and bake the tube yourself! read more

Just left Jolly Plate and still have a bad taste in my mouth. I had the Farmers Omelet and the potatoes were greasy & over fried. The gravy could not have been home made. It tasted more like a powered mix or out of a can. Very disappointed read more
