First time here and I was not disappointed. The wait staff was very friendly, the atmosphere was clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious. If you find yourself in Manchester, MI, please give this place a try for breakfast or lunch (or both). I really don't feel you'll be disappointed. read more

Homestyle diner food, with a little extra special something! I stopped into Manchester Diner for some brunch after a cold winter adventure in nearby Leonard Preserve. I ordered the Corned Beef Hash, which came with my choice of egg preparation and toast. And house made jam! They had several flavors, and I chose the blueberry bourbon jam. Food exceeded expectations! (To be fair, I didn't really have any specific expectations.) The corned beef in the hash was REALLY good. Higher quality and in large chunks than I typically see. Very tasty. Potatoes were perfectly textured, slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Made to order eggs were perfect and the veggies were good too! I loved the toast and homemade jam. Was asked if I wanted hot sauce or ketchup, and I got both on the side as well. All in all, great brunch! Service was friendly as well. Interior is cozy vibes, very family friendly and pretty casual. Pay at the register. Plenty of parking on the street or on Main around the corner. read more

The best breakfast in Manchester. Yes, they are just starting but my hopes are high. We went for breakfast, today. The eggs are local and tasty, the surprisingly superb sausage is homemade. Real homemade blueberry jam! Coffee was way above average. We are eager to return for lunch. As the slow morphing from what was the past becomes the new present, the fresh, present sincerity of people creating their dream can ring across the countryside. Manchester needs a restaurant with some down-home soul. I sense that these people have it in them. Manchester is burdened by a deep history of nostalgia. As you go up Main street, the closed grocery store and the shocking exhibit of vacant store spaces rings of a past time. Nostalgia is a sweet deception. Yearning for the good old days is wishing for a way that probably never was. It will never be the way it was. It's 2020. The future is here. This place may be the catalyst for a big change in Manchester. A new generation, a new vision of possibilities is simmering right here. I hope they add to the menu. May they have courage to break out the common expectations that are easy to imagine people want. We're not going to live long on burgers and fries. I believe people want sincere, delicious, and healthy food. I wish these people well. The Manchester Diner may be what I've been hoping for. This place has so much potential. I encourage them with all my heart. Things for them to consider; getting rid of that stale old memorabilia on the walls from all the previous iterations, a big chalkboard with creative daily specials, healthy food and maybe even growing into being open for dinner a few days a week. I have lived adjacent to town for over 30 years. I've mostly given up on eating in Manchester because it's mostly the the same old thing, the easily expected (although Frank's can hit the spot). We often find ourselves wanting to go out to eat but the food we enjoy ends up being 20 miles away (I'm not talking fancy A2 stuff either - I'm thinking the Roadhouse or Oaktree Lounge in Jackson. The Roadhouse has a very clever thing going. As the Manchester Diner builds on success, I hope they consider the clever menu of the Roadhouse on the north side of Jackson). The next generation will save us. We are all in this together. May Manchester Live on! Support the Manchester Diner and encourage them not to fall into what they think people expect. May they have courage to follow their dream. read more

I like hashbrowns way more than homefries, so at first, I was disappointed the didn't offer hash browns. BUT their homefries were crispy, homemade and really good! The corned beef was tender, big pieces. I will be back often! Looking forward to trying many more of the menu items! Recommended! read more

This place is alright. The food is tasty but my pancakes were undercooked and I had to eat around the blueberries which was disappointing. Also they don't offer iced tea which I think is odd for a breakfast/lunch diner. This might be trivial but the menu has several typos and misspellings. Not sure who (if anyone) proofread it before printing them off. There are other places in town I would rather go for breakfast and lunch. read more
