    Stopped here on our way home from our cottage. The restaurant is train themed, because it's in an…read moreold train depot. The place is peppered with charming old photos. There is even a caboose for the kids to play on near the entrance. They also have a toy train that goes around the ceiling. It's just a cool place if you have kiddos or love history. Was very pleased to see they have all day breakfast for my pancake loving kiddo! He got the Mickey Mouse pancakes. Had chocolate chips for eyes and a nose and a piece of bacon for the mouth. He ate every single bite. I ordered the taco salad and it was very good nothing to write home about but will definitely get again. My husband got the chicken fried steak and loved it so much that I didn't even get a chance to take a picture of it. They also have a ton of different pies and turnovers and cookies to choose from. Lemon Meringue pie is my absolute favorite and I was able to get a piece of that. They also have peanut butter pie, pecan pie, coconut cream pie, cherry pie, apple pie.... you name it is so good and you can tell everything is made from scratch. Will Definitely be back for breakfast again!

    Stopped here mid morning on a Sunday as we were driving through Grant. It was not busy and we were…read moreseated right away as a party of two. By the time we left around 10:30/10:45 it was picking up a little bit and it appears that they have some sort of breakfast buffet. We weren't informed of what it was and I didn't see it on the menu. We both ordered breakfast and also their fried pickles for an app. The pickles were not good. The pickle was like frozen cold and I also don't think the cream cheese is a good addition. The breakfast was pretty good though! I had chocolate chip pancakes, eggs and sausage. The eggs were cooked to my ordered temp and the sausage was good. I especially liked the pancakes! The spot is an old train depot (duh). We were sitting in the front room and sat in one of the old booths. It was SO quiet. I felt like all the others tables could hear my entire conversation. I think it'd be cool to be in the restaurant at a table next to a window while a train is going by behind the restaurant.

    I came back for our Newaygo summer and was so excited to get the mac & cheese hot dog again!…read moreUnfortunately, it had been removed from the menu, but the cooks were incredibly accommodating and made one for me anyway. The service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and they really went above and beyond to make my first day back a great one. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

The first choice was unavailable, then the second, then the third. After joking with our server that if the fourth beer wasn't available she should just bring us both Cokes, she returned to let us know that one was unavailable as well. To her credit, she did bring the Cokes!! After placing our order, there was a lengthy wait before any food arrived. We were at the restaurant far longer than expected for a meal consisting of soup, salad, and a steak dinner. Unfortunately, much of the food was barely warm, and some items that should have been served hot were cold. My husband ordered the porterhouse steak with French onion soup, waffle fries, and coleslaw. I ordered the fried goat cheese salad and onion petals. The waffle fries and onion petals were cold when served. When our server checked on us, we politely mentioned the issue. The waffle fries and onion petals were remade, but while the fries came back hot, the onion petals were still cold. Beyond that, there was little effort made to address the rest of the meal or improve the experience.

    Still delicious and still good service…read more This past week, I went with the two eggs, which comes with diced redskin potatoes and choice of bread - I had the biscuit this time. The potatoes are so yum. This time instead of adding on the blueberry almond oatmeal, I went with the Oatcakes (pancakes made from oatmeal) which had blueberries inside. Split two cakes with my wife - enjoyed them and the cinnamon butter on top is delicious. She liked the Heartland and the kids went with French Toast plus turkey sausage.

    I am just so disappointed in the evolution of Morning Star Cafe. Truly, it could be so great with…read morebetter management and staff. The waits are incredibly long. We even ate before we went so we wouldn't get hangry, but even from the wait of being seated to the time the kitchen finally makes your plate of food, my children were almost in tears because their tummies hurt. My daughter literally only ordered yogurt and fruit. She was the LAST one served. Please train servers to get children's food out quick (for everyone's sanity). When asked how our meal was, I finally did mention that this will be our last time patronizing this establishment. Clearly they are too busy to craft a joyful and memorable experience. It's better if we find a new spot. My previous review still stands. Go if you want a good breakfast, but be prepared to wait awhile and pay a premium for it.
