Came here around Friday at 10:30, place was pretty packed but we were able to get a table. A really cool vibe inside surrounded by World War II memorabilia. The service was quick and attentive. I ordered the captain crunch French toast a good size portion for the price. I did not even need to add the syrup the captain crunch and whipped cream provided all the flavor I needed, 5 out of 5. The French dip sandwich tasted good but was disappointing in terms of size. Although they only charged like $12.99, I have a feeling they shrink the size of the sandwich to keep it at that price. For the size I was expecting probably need to charge 18-19 dollars.m, 3 out of 5. Finally we tried one of their specials the pistachio pie, it was very tasty however, tasted more butter and cream than pistachio. If you really want to taste pistachio you maybe disappointed, that being it said it was still creamy and delicious. I'd give this a 3.5 out 5. Overall solid breakfast/lunch at a good price, brought out to the table in an efficient manner. read more

I usually like the bomber. They have a unique menu and yes, the Cap'n Crunch french toast slaps. However, it's getting ridiculous trying to order over the phone (which I've been advised to do by their own staff since everything is more expensive on GrubHub). I called 5 times this morning with no answer. I can understand they are busy and probably short staffed for the needs of a Saturday. But it's kind of a slap in the face to me, right? It's just plain rude. Get a busy tone. Implement a way to order pickup online that doesn't up charge customers. Get a manager on the phones. I don't care. No restaurant should let that many calls go unanswered. read more

The service is excellent and they had a line Saturday morning so I had great anticipation for the food! There is parking in the back. I ordered a very "original american breakfast" but I was pretty disappointed in the taste. My pancakes were dry and crumbly & not tasty, the sausage patty was good but soo tiny, and the eggs came out well. The tabasco sauce made everything taste better but if it were quality to begin with, it wouldn't need tabasco sauce! I also tried the corned beef and potatoes. Also not that good and I was hoping the potatoes would have been crispy. I was very disappointed. The decorations are great and tells a lot of the history about the restaurant and Ypsilanti. read more

Cool atmosphere with the WWII pics n mini planes. We came on a busy Sunday. Tight parking around the back or across the street. The restaurant is small so the line was literally out the door. Wait was about 20 minutes and it was summer so not bad. Service was kinda rushed so be prepared to know what you want. We had the corn beef hash and Capt crunch french toast with bacon. Food was just ok. I was expecting a little more from the french toast as its talked about quite a bit. Just wasn't favorable enough to me. My sweetie was ok with the hash but added lots of salt n pepper and hot sauce. Employees seemed like they have worked there for quite awhile and brought the bill quickly. Didn't take the leftovers because I didn't think it would travel well. It was worth it to see the decor. Not sure I would return. Pay at the counter read more

Generally speaking, not a bad spot for breakfast. Service was fast and very friendly and the ambiance was very cool, there are photo ops everywhere, they've really embraced the theme. Pancakes, eggs, sausage and hash browns all lacked much to be desired and came out a bit cold but the signature Captain crunch French toast, totally held its own. It wouldn't be my first choice for breakfast in the future but until you've had the crunch, you can keep this on your list! read more

Tried the famous "Bomber's" in Ypsi this past weekend. I go by the idea of getting what restaurants are known for, so I knew I was getting the Captain Crunch French Toast. I thought it was really good! I did want the cereal to shine a bit more, but it can be hard when there is syrup and whipped cream involved. My friends decided to stray off the beaten path and were disappointed with the hash browns and potatoes in their meals. If they fried those up a bit more, I think their meals would've been delish too! Our server was incredibly nice and attentive and we were sat pretty fast, which I heard is unusual. The decor is all war-related, which is no surprise when you know the name is called "Bomber". read more

The Bomber Restaurant - Cap'n crunch French Slam - Diners Near Me - Ypsilanti, Michigan

A really cool place. All decorated with WWII memorabilia. Normal breakfast foods and lunch... like a diner. Service was friendly

At the recommendation of several locals we tried The Bomber and happy we did. Place was a small local dinner, showing respect to the women during WW2 and its military service. It was clean, busy and staff friendly. I had the Bomber Omelet and the wife had pancakes. Both were fantastic and filling and priced within reason. I'm not local but I recommend the place myself now. read more

I had been living in Ann Arbor for about 10 years before my husband realized I'd never been to the Bomber in Ypsi. He was shocked and we immediately made a plan to go on a Saturday afternoon. I prepared by looking at the photos on Yelp and decided that I was going to go big for my first visit and went with the Sunrise Biscuit, a biscuit layered with sausage patties, two eggs, American cheese, and topped with country gravy. My husband went even more over the top with the Bomber Omelet, a combination of four eggs plus ham, sausage, bacon, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and several slices of American cheese. Potatoes for both of us and an order of french toast to split for good measure. It was all so good! Nothing fancy but perfect the comfort food. Plus cheap and the portion sizes were absolutely wild. And the servers were just incredibly friendly. We got there right before close and they were still so welcoming and warm. The interior is also fun to look at, as it's basically an homage to the Willow Run bomber plant that operated in town during WW2. You'll find tons of memorabilia all over including newspaper clippings, photos, model planes, military uniforms, etc. My husband is a big airplane nerd and he loves taking it all in! I can tell you it won't be another decade before we return! read more

The volume and quality of food was very American. Quite possibly the worst food I've ever eaten. The concept of "fresh" does not exist here. So many potatoes and all under cooked and under seasoned. Rubbery eggs. Extra salty bacon. Dense - wet pancakes. All in all awful. The coffee was a savior. But I don't know if that was because all of the food was so gross. Service was fast. read more

The service is always perfect. The food is amazing just ask for crispy hash browns lol. The ambiance is nothing short of impeccable and a great way to live for a few in the past. read more

I came here for the first time 7 years ago with my then boyfriend. It was fun coming back with my now husband! 7 years ago I didn't live in Michigan yet and my husband surprised me with breakfast and a day trip to Mackinac. This is the perfect place if you love good food, history, or someone that loves aviation. All of the above, even better! We went flying yesterday morning and since we were starving, at least me, we decided to hit up Bombers! We got in right before they close. They stop serving food 15 mins before they before. close. We got there 30 mins before they closed and snagged a booth. We ordered the Mexican omelette and the homemade corned beef (option to order canned corned beef too). Portions are huge! My husband and I had takeout boxes for our leftovers. If you're able to check out this diner, make sure to spend some time looking at all the history. Pretty amazing seeing how much is captured in that restaurant. Fun fact: Bombers was on the food network in 2003! read more

The restaurant has interesting decor and model airplanes hanging on the ceiling. The servers are quick and pleasant. The food is generous. I had the steak and 2 egg breakfast with my eggs over easy and I asked for my potatoes extra crispy. The biscuit that came with it was good but whipped spread was brought to the table instead of butter. The steak was cooked well and was the quality you would assume at a diner. It t wasn't super tender but it was seasoned well and cooked how I wanted. The potatoes were ample but they were not cooked the way I wanted and seemed to need to be cooked more. Maybe lunch would be a better option the next time. read more

I love diners. There's always something on the menu for everyone and the decor often harkens back to a time when life was simple. The theme of this particular establishment appears to be aviation (hence the name). I was immediately feeling good about my decision to eat here. Since I was craving fried fish I decided on the fish and chips, which happened to be that day's lunch special. My server was very attentive and brought all my items in a timely fashion. As far as food is concerned I was satisfied overall. The fried cod was good/average with the tarter sauce being a little disappointing. I think the one thing I didn't care too much for was the very runny coleslaw. It tasted fine, but just soggy and obviously needed a plate underneath to catch the excess. Aside from that I'm sure the restaurant has other great menu items I would like to come back and try later. read more

We live relatively close by and try to make it here as often as possible for an outstanding breakfast. This place gets packed!

If you are into airplanes or war history, come check out the decor! read more

Stopped in while in the area for the first time. Every table was full; they really pack you in there!! There was a line out the door when we finished. We ordered the French Toast and Cowboy Breakfast Skillet. With only ordering a half portion of the French toast, I still only hate half of it!! Such generous portions; loved the bread also! My husband said his skillet was just so so - not much meat, even though he paid for extra to be added. Our server was fantastic; all staff was friendly. read more

Just passing through Yipsalanti Michigan we stopped for brunch. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. This restaurant is all about Veterans and the women that went to work when the men went to war. There are pictures of some of these women. It is very cool. The restaurant is clean and a little small but great atmosphere. The food was very good as well with big portions. Food Network even had them on their show. Check it out! read more

Stopped in on a whim, they had good food , good service and an interesting decor . We'd go back for sure !

Great restaurant and friendly staff, try the Bomber Breakfast or Cap'n Crunch French toast, my favorite breakfast place!

You will never find this restaurant if you don't know have at the least a general understanding of downtown Ypsilanti. The way this place sits is so bizarre but it's definitely worth the quest (just use gps lol). Doesn't look fancy or anything but it has a beautiful Rosie the riveter mural on the building, so I guess that's a great way to identify it. Anyways, I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and since hubby was in the dog house he decided today was a good day to take me there. So let's dive right in while my memory is fresh.... Upon arrival we were seated in a cozy little booth and brought water by the nicest waitress, I'm sorry I don't remember her name. I ordered breakfast; the crab omelette with fried potatoes and a homemade biscuit. Hubs ordered the Mexican omelette with fried potatoes and a biscuit. The food came fast and was hot, freshly prepared. It was just okay to me mediocre tasting omelette, a lot of flavors but they weren't particularly working well together. The potatoes were pretty standard potatoes they were edible. The biscuits were tasteless rocks. I even added butter and tried another bite... moment of silence, still nothingness. Breakfast nothing to rave about. However; I'm willing to return and try lunch. read more

I love the Captain Crunch French toast. It's the best. Everything here is pretty stellar and ginormous. If you're a smothered and covered kind of human, this is your place. The military decor is fantastic, the waiters are the sweetest and fast, and it's a local favorite. Cheap, hot, good food served in impressive portions. I recommend the American fries, the biscuits, omelets, or French Toast. *If you're vegetarian, you may want to avoid the potato items and focus on French Toast and/or omelet as sometimes with the flat top, there can be some cross-contamination with the meaty goodness. read more

Favorite breakfast place in Ypsilanti! Easily one of the best restaurants around. If you're here before 11:30am expect a wait out the door no matter what day it is. They do a good job at seating people accordingly with the limited seats that they do have, but there's still always a wait, but trust me when I say, it's worth it. I've always come with someone so my favorite thing to do is get two entrees and then share them so I don't have to choose between my two favorite entrees. A little selfish, I know, but none of my friends have ever complained about the food ordered. Ya girl knows what's good at the Bomber! My go tos are the captain crunch French toast and the country skillet. The French toast comes in one, two, or three, and I always go for the three when I'm sharing it. The toast is perfectly thick and the whip cream is to die for. The country skillet is huge, filling, and looks like a heart attack on a plate but it is so good it's all worth it. Service is always great and the food is consistently fast and delicious. If I could eat here everyday I would. read more

After seeing all the images and hearing about this place, I decided to come and try it out. I'm more of a dinner guy and not so much a breakfast guy. I ordered the Bomber breakfast. It was pretty big. Not as much bacon as advertised. A little let down. I was hoping it would be like Tony's in Saginaw. Not so much. My wife and kids complained about the food not having any taste. I agreed. I'm a great cook, so I'm looking for something special and crazy. Did not find it. Don't get me wrong. I fell for the hype. I love the war theme and model aircraft. Disappointed in the taste. To each his own. I did get very good service. read more

I hadn't really been to this location for years, as I'm not usually on this side of town. Luckily I had walked into to this Ypsilanti landmark while my car was being worked on a few doors down. Years ago when I came and tried the food I thought it was just okay, typical diner fare with a Cap'n Crunch french toast that keeps the kiddos and college kids nearby happy. This time around I got the Mexican omelette (no tomatoes please) with tater tots, and it became an instant favorite! I love the WWII memorabilia on the walls and on the ceiling. It takes me back to the days of travelling around with my military family as a child. If my dad ever makes it out here I'm definitely taking him here for breakfast. The servers are very friendly, the prices are great, and the food is made fast and fresh, and there are very nicely sized portions - you definitely get what you pay for. I've been back two more times since my last dining in experience to get my Mexican omelette in takeout form. This is definitely one of those meals that you can share with a friend, family member, or coworker if you like - or just keep the second half for tomorrow's breakfast (or a snack later.) read more

One of the most nostalgic greasy spoons in Southeastern Lower Michigan, is located on Michigan Avenue in Ypsilanti. The Bomber Restaurant is noted for its American aviation-theme decor that celebrates the history of Henry Ford's B-24 Bomber Plant, and the people who worked there and lived in the nearby Willow Village during World War II. The walls are lined with historic photos, WWII memorabilia, and other local artifacts. When it comes to the famous "Bomber Breakfast" this places hits the spot like a squadron of B-24s on a mission to strategically take out your stomach pangs with precision accuracy. It comes with: four eggs, potatoes, toast, and numerous sausage patties, or bacon. The portions are a huge payload that will keep you full for most of the day, and you'll most likely take what's leftover home or to work with you. However, if this is too much to handle, you can choose other lesser menu selections, or the à la carte option and enjoy what you wish. The Bomber only serves breakfast and lunch, but both are well worth the visit. Having enjoyed both, I can tell you their "Bomber Burgers" are bigger than a landmine, but far more tasty. In fact, when the Michigan State Police Post #26 was located just down the street on Michigan Avenue at Park Street until 1975, the Bomber was a favorite hangout for police officers from the various departments that serve the area. I've enjoyed the "Bomber Jim," which is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich on a hoagie roll. This selection is very delicious, and you can choose your toppings according to your preferences. It's perfect if you skipped breakfast, and want a hearty lunch. So if you want to explore the rich history of the Ypsilanti area, you owe it to yourself to visit the Bomber. You will be amazed at the collection of memorabilia, and fascinating items that on display. read more
