Stopped by for some breakfast with my friend, our waitress was incredibly disrespectful. She didn't introduce herself, made fun of how I wanted my eggs. I only wanted them dippy like sunny-side up eggs. She didn't check on us once and I would've liked a refill of my drink. Didn't ask us how our food was and didn't even acknowledge us, she just slid the ticket on the table. My hashbrowns were also way too crispy that it was like eating chips in my mouth. I don't know the waitress's name but she had really short blond hair, she was a bit older with glasses. I really hope she gets spoken to by some type of management because that wasn't okay, especially since we did nothing wrong. I will never be coming back here. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Love Richie's coffee shop. My husband is a huge fan of their coffee. He only will drink diner coffee. I absolutely recommend the potato soup. I get up to 4 bowls when we go into richies when it is cold outside their b. L. Ts are also super good and the best part about Richie's is the service is great. The coffee is fresh and the food is affordable read more

I had a Pattie melt and fries The best ever love it will be going back very fresh and hot and fries very crispy yummy

The best hidden gem in the area. You feel like family, the service is incredible, and the food always feels like home!

Awesome little dive restaurant. Food was very good and prepared extremely fast. Service was prompt and excellent. They only accept cash, but they do have ATM on site that only cost a dollar. I highly recommend them if you're in the Hastings area. read more

Nothing special. Nothing wrong with a dive as long as it's clean but .... That was not the case so..... won't go again

Gave me and my dad food poisoning and it smelled pretty bad in there we got out of there as soon as we finished our meal

Richie's is right on the main drag in Hastings, & opens early for foolish middle aged wannabe cyclists needing a jolt of hot coffee after a morning battle with Barry Roubaix gravel route. My gosh, the 3 Sisters.. A classic greasy spoon, Fonzie, Richie & Ralph Malph would not look out of place -aside from being fictional- in one of the brown vinyl booths. It's a bit rough around the edges but looks like it was built during the Eisenhower admin. French toast, scrambled eggs and coffee for seven bucks. Eggs were perfectly firm with a fluffy undercurrent, Pain perdu crusty edged & custardy. The kitchen is out in the open, the sizzling griddle a nice accompaniment as you drink coffee and begin feeling the first twinges of soreness. read more

Easily the best burgers in hastings and definitely the best price! Richie's is truly the heart of this little town read more

This little diner actually has great pancakes! My husband is a pancake connoisseur so if he says it was a great pancake--it truly was! The bacon didn't have much flavor, though, he said. He's also a cook so I'll take his word. I haven't had a sloppy Joe in a long time; and I saw that on Fridays only they had them so I thought I'd give one a try. Mmmmmmmmm! It was a very good decision! I enjoyed the first one so much, I actually was tempted to order a second, but thankfully, our waitress wasn't very attentive so I didn't overindulge! I'm sure I would have been taking it to go if I had ordered a second read more

Richies Koffee Shop is the perfect spot when you are in the mood for a hole-in-the-wall visit. No pretense just solid, diner fare. We know what we're getting and that it will be good. Well made burgers, fresh fries or pancakes the size of the plate it's all there. Best of all my family of 4 can eat there for under $20! read more

Richie's Koffee Shop - a nice old fashioned diner! - Diners Near Me - Hastings, Michigan

They have great burgers but the staff sometimes leave something to be desired. I just called in a lunch order for 2 burgers and fries and before I could say thank you and goodbye the waitress just hung up on me like my order was a huge bother! Sorry if people ordering so your business can make money is a bother but I will probably think twice before ordering lunch again. Not a great impression. read more

I have been eating here since it opened. Awesome burgers ,cooked right in front of customers. The service is awesome. It's 50 miles from my house and we road trip every 2 weeks. My wife says they make the best malts in Michigan. read more

We went for breakfast and had plenty of food for a decent price. My issue is the shady business practice of not letting your customers know that it's a cash only business. I asked where the sign was hanging that let people know, no sign! Wait until the end when you go to pay. You can use their convenient ATM machine or walk to the bank. Nothing wrong with cash only, just don't hide it. I feel bad for the waitress that probably misses out on lot of tips. read more

Best fresh never frozen burgers around for a low price. There homemade milk shakes are wonderful as well. I got their chocolate milk shake and my husband got their strawberry one. I like the chocolate one but was pleasantly surprised how delicious the strawberry one was. Thanks to my husband for letting me try his. read more

Food was yummy! The service was excellent. This place is a super cute old fashion diner. Homemade cooking at its best.

This was our 2nd time here the first time was fair and this time not so good, although we do understand the lack of help and being overwhelmed and worked. But our waitress was rude and not friendly and if we asked for something else it was like we were putting them in a bad place. Most businesses will tell us to please have patents as their busy and are tired which is totally understandable but not here we will not be going back. read more

So the food was great for the price. My fiance wanted to get more mayo on her good tasting olive burger. She went up to the guy who was apparently the manager and was on his phone with the ear buds in his head. She asked for some mayo and he said "In an hour and half.". Then he looked up and said that they were out and then went back to the nothing that he was doing. My fiance came back and we were shocked. I'm fuming. Tried to stay calm. We asked our server for mayo and she got it for us. This guy is the manager! Straight up lied and dismissed my fiance! Ooooohhhhhh...H E Double Hockey Sticks! That dude was lucky he decided to leave at point. I've never seen that behavior before. I almost wonder if he had to take his rude 35 year old self back to his mother's house because he forgot to make the bed. I'm so angry at him now. I still can't believe it happened. Never again. read more

Richies is just one of those institutions that I have to go to when I come back into Hastings. The service is always friendly and quick with the orders. Classic diner food and the prices are still out if the 90's. Love this place! read more

Ok, here's the deal.... "Little" Richie's has been one of my favorite diners in Hastings, MI since 1982 or 1983. Every time I am in Hastings I LOVE me some "Little" Richie's. My favorites are the half order of the biscuits and gravy, a ham and cheese omelette, and the HUGE lumberjack style pancakes. I almost always get the breakfast, even if it is in the afternoon, but they have amazing burgers as well. Anyways, since this year I have noticed several problems or red flags. Today's episode makes me NEVER want to go back again, and I am heart broken. I had eaten with my family and my GF dozens and dozens of times with mostly happy results. Today's encounter had us waiting for about 25 minutes or so for our order. In a little place like Richie's it is easy to notice when people arrive, order and when their order arrives. Especially when they arrive 5 or 10 minutes before you and are eating their meals while you are waiting..... At 25 minutes we asked our server about our order. I saw her go to the line and inquire about our order. Then I saw her write something on a ticket and hand it to the kitchen. This is never a good sign. The last 3 out of 5 visits (including todays visit) the kitchen lost our order. I can understand losing orders or tickets when you don't have a computer system, but 3 out of 5 visits? That is unacceptable. So another 10 minutes go by and I had witnessed at least half a dozen orders come and go out of the window, but not our order. Again I asked about our order and our waitress apologized profusely and verified my prediction that they had lost our order, again. I saw another couple orders go out of the window. Then I saw the line cook giving our server attitude and yelling at her. She looked like she was going to cry, and all she was trying to do was get our order served to us. Witnessing the line cook yelling and badgering the poor waitress was more than Linette and I could take, so we left. The moron had still not even started our orders----at least 15 minutes after they determined they had lost our order---and instead of getting our order the next freaking thing out of the window, he continued yelling at our server. He was still yelling at her and waving his hands like a madman when we approached the counter and told the line cook not to bother starting our order. I handed our server $10 because I felt bad for her and the way this cook was yelling at her. My family has eaten at "Little" Richie's since the early 1980's and I will never go back. I have seen a lot of servers grow up, have kids of their own, and seen their kids grow to adults in the years I have been eating there. I had many wonderful memories about eating breakfast there with my father when he was alive and having a great time with the staff. Seeing a line cook yelling at a waitress is never acceptable. read more

Overall a good place for a light lunch/dinner; tasty burger & shake. Not a good place for the "germaphobe" it could use a good deep cleaning and updating. The service was a lil on the "home town" side - meaning in no big hurry! Reasonably priced tho! read more

I went with my family my second time there it was perfect the first time there was no problems and I loved it now here was the problem for the second time that is regarding my 1 STAR so we get there and it was fine and we sat down so the lady with tattoos on her chest to neck was overloaded with perfume you could smell it all over the place and the place wasn't clean at all back to perfume she got our order and then came back with it and the water tasted of perfume but we didn't want to be rude so we said nothing and then the food tasted like perfume to and we just left me and my family can still taste perfume in our mouths and it still lingers in our noses. read more

This was a nice mom and pop place we found on our way to Gun Lake Casino. I ordered the Bacon cheeseburger and fries, Grandma got the BLT. We were impressed. The atmosphere is comfortable. The food was really good and REALLY cheap. Nice little diner for a quick bite. We went on a Thursday during lunch hour and it was not too busy. Waitress was very friendly, didn't have to wait long for food at all. Overall, I will definately stop here again when I come through Hastings. If you are looking for a good burger, stop in! It should also be noted that they only accept cash, but have an ATM close by. read more

If your looking for a good greasy spoon this is it. Good food, breakfast served all day. Big down fall is they only take cash or check. There is an ATM located on site with only a dollar charge though. Service is also good. Not always the cleanest place. read more

Well, I miss the Richie's that was back in Freeport, but this location doesn't disappoint. My mom loves their olive burger, and I'm always a fan of the farmers omelet. Best malts I've ever had. The place could use a deep clean, but it's not at all disgusting in there. It's an old town diner and the atmosphere reflects it. I can't wait to come back home and go again for breakfast. read more

Cash only! ATM in the restaurant for those that don't know the rules. Great spot for a quick juicy burger, fries and a milk shake. Counter seating with cooks upfront. Nothing fancy, go as you are. Good as expected and tasty. Don't waste your money on a salad, all I got was a bowl of lettuce and dressing. read more

If you're looking for a hometown burger and fries this is your place. Burgers are made fresh daily and the food is as close to bar food without actually being in a bar. Great food. This place only takes cash so don't think you are going to pay with a debit card. On the downside sometimes the staff are not very friendly. That would be the one drawback to this place read more

OVER RATED!!! Decent diner food. Second rate service. Filthy floors and bathrooms. And they don't take cards. They point you to an ATM next to the counter so you can pay them to get your own money so you can pay them again for your bill. Go to Phil's Galley around the corner, much better place all around read more

One of the best hamburgers I've ever had. Richies grinds their own meat every day. Very fresh and very tasty. Great fries, and good think milkshakes. Now this is an old town greasy spoon. Don't expect low calorie, fancy side dishes or pretty garnishes. This is simply exceptional diner food. read more

We ate at Richie's twice during our recent visit to Hastings. This is a place that I used to frequent when I lived and worked in Hastings. I had pleasant memories and was disappointed when we were here for this visit. Why did we eat there twice, we chose the place once and we met family there the second time. The food was decent diner food and in reality we can't complain about that. The level of service was well above average. The restaurant itself was not as clean as it should be and the restroom was atrocious. I am giving a rating of 3 stars as much for sentimental reasons as I am for the quality of the food. read more

Small town goodness. Has that way back cafe feel and the food is a bargain. Best burgers in town
