Lots of food, service is attentive, and the restaurant is clean! Waitresses are kind and attentive. I had the Reuben omelet with real corn beef, sauerkraut (just enough for flavor) and Swiss cheese. It was huge and delicious. I can't wait to have it again!!. Best!! Thank you! ~BobbieJo read more

The home fries were sautéed with a little onion and was the perfect combination. From the picture; 7 bacon strips crispy, 2 lightly poached eggs, 2 link sausage, 2 generous slices of ham, and the namesake orange peel. Also, pictured is sourdough toast with orange marmalade and hot sauce. A Florida tradition. Overall the best breakfast for quality and quantity for $13. read more

Loved my Southern Benedict! I swapped out the regular sausage with chorizo patties and it was a big hit on my taste buds. The biscuits were some of the better ones I've had, even being used to eating breakfast in Texas. We'll be back! read more

Orange Peel Restaurant - Loved the Southern Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Shelby Township, Michigan

The food here is wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. And the service is so nice. My son and I come here some times and we are always happy when we leave. read more

Looked for a small local establishment for lunch while visiting the Detroit area and found this little gem in northern suburb. Sat at the counter and had a nice midday experience. Wife had a reuben that was packed with corned beef and nicely toasted on the outside. And I had perhaps the best patty melt that I've had in years. We sat at the counter and had excellent service along with friendly banter with the rest of the wait staff. Clearly a place that locals frequent but we were welcomed as if we were regulars. Orange Peel is a small place so don't be surprised if you have to wait, but the wait is well worth it for breakfast or lunch. read more

Just so you know, I rarely give out a five star review, but this little restaurant caught me on all counts. We went here on a Sunday morning around 11 and there was a short wait for a table. They seem to keep it going because it is a small restaurant. Once seated, our waitress immediately got our drink order and asked if we had any questions. Her name was Shirley and she was awesome!! I ordered my vegetable egg white omelette and she asked if I wanted a two or three egg omelette. I hesitated and she added "the two egg omelettes are really large " so that made my decision for me. I added jalapeños to the omelette for an extra charge. I was glad I only got the two egg omelette because as delicious as it was, I still brought about half of it home! It was huge!! My friend got a half order of pancakes and brought half of that home too. The orders are huge and the food was cooked perfectly! I will definitely go here again!! read more

I'm so glad that this place was on yelp, otherwise I would never have known it even existed. It's tucked away in a CVS parking lot, and I had a hard time finding it even with my navigator app. The interior looks like any one of thousands of diners you've probably seen before. It's unfortunate that the mediocrity of lesser places has made "diner" something that people often dread. But, the quality here blows all that out of the water. For $7.99, I got a gargantuan Italian breakfast bowl, with green peppers, tomatoes, onion, sausage, and mozzarella cheese on top. This is enough food for probably the next three days. And, best of all, it's really good! The freshness of all the ingredients almost makes it seem like I'm not eating something heavy. And, the hash brown potatoes in the bowl are phenomenal: fresh, with just the right amount of butter. I decided to get a side of biscuits & gravy, not realizing how much food I was getting with the breakfast bowl. This is, quite simply, some of the best sausage gravy I've ever had. It's savory and rich, with a good amount of sausage throughout. I was told that it's homemade, and the love that went into it clearly shows. The biscuits are soft, but probably were made earlier in the day. Still tasty, however. And, I can't finish this review without talking about how phenomenal the service was. One thing I can't stand when I'm having breakfast at a restaurant is when I run out of coffee, and there's no one there to refill it. That was never a problem here. The coffee never got less than half full at any point. When I told the waitress how much I liked the gravy, she gave me extra gravy to-go, free of charge! And, it was near closing time, so they also gave me a free large coffee to go. I know there's only so much you can learn from a restaurant with one visit, but this feels like a place that takes good care of its employees. The servers were smiling and talking, the manager was smiling and talking, but never to the point where they neglected the customers. I like that feeling when I go to a restaurant. It tells me that everybody cares about what they serve, which is something you can't find in many places these days. Add that to the phenomenal price and quality of the food, and this is the place will be coming back to many, many times. read more

So I found this place, as the fast food chain's really lack quality. Plus I like to have a great breakfast selection. Not many restaurants serve French toast. It's usually my go to or eggs. They also make our bacon crispy and you get a lot of it. They make homemade soup a variety throughout the week. There is a wait sometimes so arrive early. This holiday slow down get a great meal and start your morning right. read more

Walking in this is a small diner, that is always busy. The line moves quickly. Sitting down you can tell it is a mom and pop type restaurant. I ordered a full sized omelet and man was that a mistake not only was it huge but it was tasty. The decor in this place is decent and more of a lighter vibe. read more

How sad am I to discover such a great diner right before i move out of the area? Orange Peel restaurant is tucked away in the corner by the CVS. I missed it the first two times. Lol Walking in, the restaurant is on the smaller size but it's fairly new and the decor is really nice and modern. The ladies serving immediately greet you upon walking in, and that's always a great sign as far as service. I came in on a Thursday morning around 9 am and they were busy with regulars and a few other customers. I can see on the weekend why this place would get busy and their would be a wait. The menu is pretty big and there are great items to choose from. I chose the original breakfast bowl with sausage, ham, bacon, scrambled eggs over a layer of fried potatoes, topped with cheese and a side of toast. I opted to get a bowl of gravy as some Yelpers suggested and poured that over the top. The plate arrived and was enough food to feed three people. But let me tell you...it was SOOOO good. Potatoes were perfectly crisp and salted, but the gravy is what sent this bowl over the top! I devoured over half and was sad I couldn't finish the whole thing. I really wanted a mid-day nap after all that food, but off to work I had to go. Definitely one of the better breakfast places in the area!!! I'll be back to try more!!! read more

Open early which is perfect for me as I work midnights. The woman who works in the mornings is super nice. The food is always fantastic. Portions are huge and the BACON?! Definitely a gem tucked away in the corner and worth checking out. I will update the review with a photo next time I go. Try it! You won't be disappointed. read more

This is my new fav- small and quant but the breakfast is so good. Love it! So glad places like this still exist.

We were driving by and saw the little sign in the last corner of a shopping mall. This is a delightful little breakfast and lunch place, moderately priced; what a treat!! They have one of the best "Italian Wedding Soups" I have had in years all their food is homemade! Clean and inexpensive, fresh food with good service. read more

Delicious food and outstanding service. The place is very clean too. Major bonus especially during these times. Great omelettes and the pancakes are some of the best I have ever had. Great prices -huge portions read more

Food is good and equally priced. The service is tremendous. Only 1 thing, if your visit falls in the summer the family shuts the doors for a week to go on vacation (good for them). Call 1st it's definitely worth your visit for a great breakfast or lunch. read more

This Coney Island has mediocre food. Better than the Stuffed Bun restaurant but not as good as the Pancake Factory. Save yourself time and money and go to the Pancake Factory. read more

1st. Timer ! Loved it. Glad I only ordered 1/2 omelettes- still huge. Shared a Reuben and coney hot dog omelette- both were excellent. Home made potatoes- not hash browns were cooked perfectly. Both rye and wheat toast very good also. Waitress was over many times to make sure drinks were refilled. read more

Delay in kitchen construction so, the reviews continue. We came here for lunch. Its located in a strip mall conveniently off the beaten path. There is an extensive menu with several daily specials. The bean soup was very good. Chicken club on pretzel was pretty good too. Add Pancakes, sausage, coffee, and fries for a whopping total of 25$ !!! Add a tip, because these ladies are seasoned servers=30$. So, I'd call this expensive for lunch/brunch. read more

Breakfast portions are huge!! We now split them when we order carryout. Great soups too and friendly service

Excellent choice for breakfast. You can't go wrong here. Of all the local diners in the area this one is by far the most consistent. The serve high quality food cooked with care. I've only been here for breakfast. Every thing every time was good. read more

Very fast service and kind staff. This was my second time going here where I ordered takeout both times. The first time I ordered the original breakfast bowl with sausage gravy added and it was absolutely delicious and enough to feed me for both breakfast and lunch. This time I ordered the philly bowl and it was was alright but didn't really compare to the flavor packed original. Either way still a great place to eat! read more

Orange Peel Restaurant - Philly breakfast bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Shelby Township, Michigan

Hmmm where to begin... we walked in hoping to find a hostess stand and someone to tell us where to sit / how long the wait would be. Instead we were ignored for several minutes. Eventually a guy sitting at the table we were right next to told us our hovering around him made him feel uncomfortable & can we move... oh the uncomfortable awkwardness so either he or a reluctant waitress a walking by finally informed us we need to"wait outside" and that there is a sign in the minuscule lobby that says to wait in their tiny cold 'atrium/lobby' (it's small and we didn't see it walking in). So this experience was quite an awkward & uncomfortable way to begin our eating experience. I'm not sure who told us because I was in the back of our little group of people. Onto the food... In my opinion the menu is WAY too big, it's overwhelmingly large... oddly though on the huge menu there is no (mixed) fresh fruit... only orange wedges. The food was hit or miss. THE GOOD: Yummy chocolate chip pancakes - the half portion is ENORMOUS. The ham was good, my husband said his Reuben was good. THE BAD: Almost everything tasted kind of low quality / pre-made / sitting around for a while. Corned beef hash was pasty & had a weird taste (slightly metallic?) & pricey for the amount you get... I believe it was $5.69 for a small plate, bacon was a bit too greasy & not that flavorful, sausage was kind of bland/blah. Broccoli was a bit over cooked & watery. Orange juice is from a jug... which is pretty typical BUT since this place is called The Orange Peel I thought maybe there would be a fresh squeezed juice option... So due to the awkward & unfriendly welcome & the low quality of food I will not give this place a second try. Especially since there are so many other options nearby. read more

I think they put crack in their omelets. They are the best I have ever tasted. Even if I go there in the evening I still get an omelet. My favorite is the chili cheese omelet, and get this - they have pumpernickel toast. They are not one of those kill-you-with-too-much-food places, but if I order a side of bacon I don't just get 3 rashes. I generally get a 1/4 to 1/2 pound. I think this is the only place I have ever left with uneaten bacon left on the table. Very small location, and reasonably popular. This means if you go early on the weekend you will have to wait. read more

This place is definitely worth the stop. The portion size is great, food is actually good, and the price is very affordable. The only downfall was coming in as a first time guest there wasn't anyone greeting at the door. A young man peered across the room after 15-20 seconds of us standing there and pointed to a table across the room without verbally saying anything. Maybe just a little more customer friendly. I will be back! read more

I don't know why we'd never made it here earlier, but wow, I was impressed. It's a pretty small place, easy to miss/overlook, but you definitely shouldn't. We went here for brunch, and the food was just top notch. We enjoyed it immensely. The portions are diner portions, so they are pretty big, so just be prepared for that. Otherwise, I'll be back for sure. read more

Ok so I love an omelette. One of my favorite foods ever. I got the ham and cheddar omelette. I went hungry. The lady asked if I wanted a 2 or 3 egg omelette. Well I make 3 egg omelettes at home all the time and DEVOUR them and wish for more so I said 3. What came out I swear was like a 6 egg omelette. I'm still confused by how 3 eggs made the thing that came to me (see pic). Literally could've split with another person and I am someone that can throw down. No way I could finish that. Hash browns are good. I've had better. You will leave full!! Also when you come in for a table-if one isn't ready you do not put your name in. You wait in line until one is cleaned off. read more

Orange Peel Restaurant - 3 egg cheddar and ham omelette-could definitely split with another!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Shelby Township, Michigan

Did someone order a platter of food, that is home-cooked, and would be penny-pincher approved?! Orange Peel seems like a typical family restaurant. Most of the clientele is over 70 yrs old, and there does not seem to be an meal over $9.95. But look beyond the typical!! The food is good and very consistent. Lots of daily specials and daily soups. Lots of sandwiches to choose from. Breakfast is really good, and always a nice treat on a Sunday morning! Homemade American fries are the perfect match with eggs over-easy and some sausage links! How can you go wrong!??! This place is small, and only has about 10 tables so there is usually a wait at peek times. Stop by and support your local diner! read more

Staff is always friendly and professional. Food portions are big and delicious. Only downside is the waiting area, or lack thereof. There is no hostess so you are left having to watch the tables for someone to get up in a crowded little area. read more

I have only been here twice, but everything was great. I ordered the Breakfast Bowl (potatoes, bacon, ham, sausage, cheese and scrambled eggs with sausage gravy upon request) and that was amazing and fed me for three breakfasts. The other meal I had was a sandwich on a pretzel roll and they offer a few, which I love. They also had a lot of omelets to choose from and a big menu. Also, the staff is very friendly. read more

Oh how I wish I could give a higher rating. The restaurant is small but clean. Limited seating. No hostess to greet you so when you walk in you have to find a table or wait outside the door. And there is always a wait. You don't wait long though. But be warned you'll have people standing /staring at you while you eat! The menu is overwhelming. So much to choose from! I ordered a pretzel chicken sandwich with american cheese. And my daughter had chocolate chip pancakes. I didn't care for the sandwich. The huge chicken breast they put on the chicken had no flavor whatsoever and a pretzel bread was just bread in the shape of a pretzel no pretzel flavor at all and VERY soggy. My seasoned french fries were steaming hot and delicious! The chocolate chip pancakes were a bit soggy. I know they are known for their breakfast mostly. So next time I must try the breakfast hoping that it was just an off day. Our service though was great! Very friendly! read more

Hidden gem in Shelby township. Their omelets are amazing, and could easily compete with any of the pancake factories and even high end places such as original house of pancakes. The portions are fantastic, the service was excellent and besides being a small place where you sometimes have to wait longer to be seated, there are no complaints. But it just goes to show that the place is always busy and the food is worth waiting for. read more

The food, portions and atmosphere are GREAT! We arrived in time to be seating immediately on a Saturday morning however Shortly after there was a line out the door until we left! That being said there are a few things that they should try to work on. When we ordered our drinks we got Coffee and water. A bowl of creamer sitting on the table ALL of them had expired in May - it's July now! The cream separated in both our coffee and when I asked the waitress to get us new coffee and creamer the new creamer were ALL expired in May. The third time we asked someone they went in the back got a new box and brought us creamer that expired in three days. It still separated in our coffee but we just said whatever and drank it anyway. They were very apologetic, and it's not that big of a deal but just watch for it. Also I didn't get a water refill for about thirty minutes, but at least I did get one. The food was again very quick, tasty, and delicious!!! I would return again! read more

Service is good .. I feel like they could do more limited indoor seating due to pandemic and social distancing . We were a party of 4, we all ordered breakfast bowls . Philly steak bowl was sent back due to weird steak meat texture and no seasoning . Bowl portions were Huge but seriously lacking in any real flavor/ seasoning . Potatoes on bottom of bowls were not crispy. More like boiled with zero flavor . Will not return here . read more

Excellent breakfast ! The scrambler bowl is by far the best I've had. My hubby had the French toast although it was good he said it was just okay nothing special and he didn't like that they didn't put powdered sugar on the top. Overall we had a great breakfast and will be back again! I highly recommend . read more
