It's 2026 and we are back to traveling up north and passing Linwood Corners Cafe. Couldn't wait to stop by and enjoy a great meal, with attentive service, a cherry and down-home dining area and affordable prices. Today we shared the special BBQ pulled pork over the creamiest Mac and cheese bowl. So delicious. We added side salads and shared the coconut cream pie, our favorite dessert. We left stuffed and pleased with the very reasonable bill. Definitely our favorite "headed up north" place to eat. read more

Linwood Corners Cafe - Mac and piggy bowl. The special of the day. To die for. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Linwood, Michigan

Very good food and great service. They allowed me to order breakfast even though it's well past their breakfast time and the homemade bread with jam was delicious. My dad ordered a hamburger and says it was fantastic They even gave my dad's dog some french fries read more

We stopped at Linwood Corners Cafe on the way back downstate, and now I'm already planning to make it a regular road trip stop. It's one of those unassuming places that ends up being a total win. I had the chicken noodle soup and onion rings, and I'm pretty sure both were homemade. The soup had fresh noodles and a rich, comforting flavor that felt like something your grandma would make. The onion rings were crispy, not greasy, and really tasty. Service was good too. They had someone in training, but everything went smoothly and everyone was friendly. The ambiance is basic--just a quiet, plain diner with a little echo--but honestly, when the food is that good, it doesn't matter. This place is a gem, and I'm already looking forward to coming back next time I'm passing through. read more

We ordered the chili cheese fries for an appetizer. It was delicious!! The chili was excellent. My wife ordered the bbq burger. Excellent! I ordered the southern burger which came with two onion rings on top. Freaking awesome! The service was excellent! That atmosphere was like a traditional diner. Has a family environment vibe. read more

First off I was told that everything is home made here so naturally we went there for lunch and I had breakfast lol the food was really good I even ask a family that was leaving how was the food they said it was awesome and they were right.also I would like to add the portion size was super big almost everyone left with a box of leftovers The wait staff was very friendly and they were all young and happy so happy in fact my wife said how nice it was to see so many people smiling. it is definitely diner style a little dated but clean with a very nice feel. Bathroom was spotless with a sign the said to inform the wait staff if anything was in need of cleaning. I liked that a lot! read more

Great breakfast! Lots of omelette choices, homemade baked goods and homemade strawberry jam.

$18 for coffee and southern omelette, gravy is straight out of a Gordon's can. Friendly staff, prompt service. Not a fan of Gordon's gravy. read more

I haven't been here for years but had an appointment in the area so I stopped here for breakfast. I had the breakfast sandwich that was one egg over hard with bacon and cheese on white. It was excellent. Booth, bar and low top seating in a quaint open room setting. Prompt and friendly service. Competitive pricing. Clean restrooms. I think you'll need a password for the Wifi. I would return when I'm in the area. read more

Friendly fast excellent , great coffee, Strawberry jam was delicious , homemade . Omelets were hot , potatoes perfect . Thank you to the team. Stop in if passing you're through , you be disappointed read more

They aren't going for atmosphere. Not much of the local color decor you might encounter in a lot of small town diners. Tables, chairs, and white walls. But it's clean and the food is good, and those are the important things. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, which comes topped with bacon and cheese as well as lettuce and the usual sandwich fixings. The chicken breast was large, tender, and juicy. I enjoyed every bite. The fries on the side were some of the best I've had in a long time. Wide, like steak fries, and slightly curly with a light coating on them. Crisp outside, tender inside, not greasy...perfection. Service was fast and courteous. Good service, great food...who needs atmosphere? read more

Linwood corners is such a kind place and the food is so good. I love the new decor too.

My family and I drive from Hartland to Au Gres every month or so and we finally decided to stop here on our way back home today. Server was top notch. I wish I caught his name. My 6-year-old LOVED the Mickey Mouse pancake! She is the one who told me to write a review on it my wife got an omelette and I got the Big Man Breakfast. The food was excellent! We were all in the Clean Plate Club. We will definitely stop here again on our way up or home! Thank you, Linwood Corners team! read more

Stopped for breakfast at this establishment while returning from a Northern Michigan long weekend this past October. This Yelper tries to studiously avoid national chain-type restaurants while traveling, and so I prevailed upon my very patient co-diner to seek a local spot. This place fit the bill, to a T. First, the "ambience (if such a word can be used for a local old-time eatery):" about what you'd expect. Nothing fancy, just local color. Next, the service: top-notch. Though the place was very crowded, our server got right to us, and the food was delivered with alacrity. Finally, the food: no complaints here. At all. I got my usual order that I place when I'm not sure what kind of restaurant I' m in: grilled cheese on whole wheat with a slice of tomato grilled in the sandwich, accompanied by fries. It was exactly as it should be. The co-diner got a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread. He found it to be quite tasty. Many of the patrons around us were having breakfast, as it was Sunday late morning. Despite the fact that the restaurant was quite busy, service was speedy, and no one was kept waiting for too long. Prices were very reasonable, which helped explain the popularity of the place (besides the quality of the food, naturally). Now that we know about this place, and know how to get there, we would definitely return. If you are in search of a good old-fashioned breakfast or lunch place (possibly even dinner), give Linwood a try. read more

Stuffed cabbage soup is hearty and delicious. The kind my mom would make. My husband and I both got the perch dinner. I got mashed potatoes. I would skip the gravy next time. Perch was a little rubbery so I wouldn't order it again but it was good. read more

Sort of like a typical American dinner, but a hooked up version. Great portions for a great price. All the food was fresh and hot and the service was very attentive. Large menu as well with a variety of selections that will make anyone happy. Also has baked goods to go. read more

The food was good and service was good as well. The only thing I didn't like was the decor and the paint job. It was very distracting.

"15 miles outside every major city, all the rednecks are the same." - Jeff Foxworthy. As JF said in this eponymous quote, outside the cities things are the same. But are they really? No, they can be as varied as the red, white and blue. This is a smallish but nicely appointed diner type place. I love me some diner food. Today's outing took us up toward Saginaw Bay on Lake Huron. Accompanied by my bride, our companions Ben and Beth and Beth's parents we went to have lunch in Linwood. I had a great meal that was not only great but dirt cheap. It was called Mile High Meatloaf. This dish was piled high and scrumptious. It was a monument to meatloaf. Perched high atop the meatloaf were two fresh fried onion rings. These were life changing, like your first donut or your first kiss. They were hot fresh and not greasy at all. The breading was the best I have tasted and was slightly sweet. They had to come down and meet with the gravy that my meatloaf on Texas toast was swimming in. It was a union that I will not forget. Beneath the o-rings was some very good home style mashed potatoes. These did not come off a trick unless they came off as a sack of potatoes. Delightful!! Then the meatloaf finally came to the fore. This was easily a one pound loaf. It was neither soggy nor loose. It was firm, delicious and perfectly complimented by the aforementioned potatoes, gravy and onion rings. This was epic meatloaf. It was not your fathers meatloaf, it was your grandfather's mother's meatloaf on steroids. It was more than I could handle. If you are near Saginaw Bay near Pinconning, stop in to Linwood Corner Cafe. Go in hungry. Order something that says Mile High on it. Leave happy. I promise! read more

Great food! Super friendly folks. Traditional menu with daily specials. Huge pancakes! Breakfast for 5 = $65. Highly recommend!!

For the most part their food is good. Sometimes breakfast has been a miss. But usually pretty good experience with lunch/dinner. Sucks that some times they run out of the fried chicken because it's delicious! read more

Excellent service, all covid policies followed, food was quick and hot even on Easter morning. I shared an omelet with my mom and we had plenty - got the added 2 eggs for $1.49. Worth our drive from Midland! read more

Now I love my egg white Omelettes and this place cooked it perfect!! I got a veggie egg white omelette with cheese, tomato slices instead of hashbrowns and rye toast. It came with homemade jelly that was delicious and a generous portion of everything. My friend got a ham and cheese omelette with American fries and rye toast. He took half of his home because it was such a large portion. We had actually driven here because we wanted a good breakfast place and this did not disappoint. I would drive out of my way to get here again anytime!! read more

Our family LOVES Linwood Corners! Great home made food and service. Love the French toast, all the specials are great too!!

Food is fantastic. They are not adhering to the governor's mask mandate. Many people going in w/o masks and servers and cooks are not wearing them. Take your chances, so sad. read more
