    Was staying in the area and needed a place for breakfast. This place has an old town feel to it, but the home style cooking to match. The service was great, food hit the spot, and the local atmosphere was amazing. They also took credit card which was a plus, as the first place we went did not.

    Excellent breakfast! Karens Kasserole is delicious! I crave pancakes from here, they are huge and fluffy! I drive over an hour to come here.

    “I appreciate the effort they put into their daily specials- love the homemade bread options (worth it), especially when combined with their chicken salad.”

    Normally this is my go-to spot on a chilly day. It's close to home and always have so many options…read more I've never had a soup here I didn't love and the staff are all friendly. They will let you try samples in store if you ask. I recently tried their new summer menu and while the picnic burger was delicious, I expected it to be a bit larger for the price (it was on a slider bun). The Hawaiian mac salad was tasty, but was a little heavy handed on the red onion for my own personal preference. I will for sure be trying some other things on their picnic menu, but honestly looking forward to the fall hoping that they will switch back to their regular menu with soup and grilled cheese. I support whatever helps them stay open since I assume soup isn't the most popular option come July and heat waves!

    I was craving a grilled cheese and some soup recently so I ordered a pickup order from Uncle…read moreCheetah's Soup Shop. Their menu includes 10+ different soups each day, as well as several sandwiches and some salads. I ordered the garage sale: white cheddar, fresh mozz, rosemary goat mousse, havarti, and swiss on challah. I also got the steak and mushroom soup and the snert soup for Nate. When I arrived my order was waiting for me - it was nicely packaged and secure so everything was safely contained for my short drive home. The sandwich wasn't very melty, I ended up heating it up in a pan myself which helped. It was super tasty, though! I love the combination of cheeses. The steak and mushroom soup was really good, with chunks of meat in a creamy broth. The snert soup was very salty! The menu description indicated the snert soup should have sausage or kielbasa in it, but we didn't notice any. The restaurant itself is pretty small with limited seating, but I'd probably just order there next time. You can also get samples.

    I normally make my Philly cheesesteaks at home…read more The Philly cheesesteaks from here are the best I've ever had. They supply a fork when you order, the first time I ordered from here I saw the fork and wondered why. Then I opened the sandwich and saw the amount of meat they put on the sandwich and all the cheese and sauce. A fork is needed lol.

    02/09/26 The Best…read moreCheese Steak in Michigan...hmmm. My previous thought in my last review remains. When someone tells me that their (anything) in the State of Michigan is the best, there really should be a way for the diner to compare said "best" to other places. I do like the rolls. Very much so. But is the sandwich the "best"? I know of at least one place in Detroit that might at least share that claim. I still like the cold sandwiches and deli salads. The desserts are very good. And the burgers are good with a nice selection of toppings. Fries, tots, and chips are all available to order. The staff is very friendly, either in person or on the phone. The restaurant has a LOT of room in the dining area. Although I don't recall ever asking, it may have been two businesses at the same location, and at some point, the floor space was combined. They may not accept very large parties, like a business lunch, but they have the room for this type of gathering. I still recommend this place, and pickup/Door Dash is always available if you do not wish to dine in.
