First time visit Monday morning. Ordered the big breakfast: 2 eggs, toast, meat and hash browns…read more$9.99. All bread is homemade, 2 thick slices of dark rye toast. Scrambled eggs. For the Boars Head meats, the choices are: bacon, sausage patties, or ham. I chose sausage patties. They only had 1, so they gave me 2 crisp slices of bacon. Brilliant to use the panini grill to make crunchy on the outside hash browns. Coffee, $1.99. They also sell Boars Head lunch meats and cheese at extremely reasonable prices. Variety of coffees, soup, salads sandwiches, wraps, baked goods.

I got the Newaygo Hefeweizen beer- it was delicious. The wraps r good. This time I ordered the turkey and Swiss panini. Delicious. Great coleslaw. The people r all really nice who work here. Love the old building it is in. Great place for lunch!! Came back again. Love this place. Got the caprese grilled cheese. Such fresh ingredients. Next time I will order xtra coleslaw. As usual, everyone is really nice. Cute outdoor area too! Will be back!! Came here for breakfast. Ordered the pumpkin cheesecake muffin to start. So good!!

I've been visiting Newaygo since I was young, but this was my first time visiting River Stop Cafe…read more I will without a doubt be back on my next visit! I appreciated that they had a "garden grown" section on their menu with vegetarian options. My burger was delicious and the coleslaw was genuinely the best I've ever had (a wild claim as someone who's lived in the south half their life!). I also ordered a seasonal coffee from their Valentine's menu that was raspberry and white chocolate flavored. I'm not always a fruit flavored coffee person, but River Stop Cafe does it well! Despite it being quite busy during our visit, service was still relatively quick and the ambiance made for an enjoyable wait.

The omelette was firm but not dry, the fillings were sauteed tender-crisp and the cheese was generously portioned. Really should have had a picture of those hash browns...the browning was a thing of beauty. Alas, hunger would admit no delay. Service was efficient and attentive. Great little pit stop.

The potatoes are so yum. This time instead of adding on the blueberry almond oatmeal, I went with the Oatcakes (pancakes made from oatmeal) which had blueberries inside. Split two cakes with my wife - enjoyed them and the cinnamon butter on top is delicious. She liked the Heartland and the kids went with French Toast plus turkey sausage.

I am just so disappointed in the evolution of Morning Star Cafe. Truly, it could be so great with…read morebetter management and staff. The waits are incredibly long. We even ate before we went so we wouldn't get hangry, but even from the wait of being seated to the time the kitchen finally makes your plate of food, my children were almost in tears because their tummies hurt. My daughter literally only ordered yogurt and fruit. She was the LAST one served. Please train servers to get children's food out quick (for everyone's sanity). When asked how our meal was, I finally did mention that this will be our last time patronizing this establishment. Clearly they are too busy to craft a joyful and memorable experience. It's better if we find a new spot. My previous review still stands. Go if you want a good breakfast, but be prepared to wait awhile and pay a premium for it.

Eggs, perfectly cooked, biscuits and gravy, sausage, sandwiches, all hand made fresh. Specials from around the world change everyday if you are a more adventurous diner. On weekends they serve artisan pizza, not gas station greasy, as good as Chicago or Detroit, and other specials from their outdoor smoker. The atmosphere is green, peaceful and country, surrounded by a farm. The service is personal and not rushed. It has a drive through but its charm is meant to be absorbed at a Croton pace. Sit down, watch the hummingbirds, hear the donkeys bray in the distance. Enjoy great food, maybe even listen to some acoustic live music. There is only one of these in the world. Do yourself a favor, experience something unique and delicious in a setting that is blissful.

I kid you not,…read moreit took four of us to take out the two fluffy frisbee -size discs that came with my Lumberjak breakfast order. Nothing fancy here--- food that's made from scratch, huge portions, wisecracking waitresses that are ready with coffee refills and happy to dispense lots of local knowledge, awesome breakfasts and ...pretty average coffee. It's charming, it's cozy, it's basically a converted house, filled with some kitschy decor and historical photos, low ceilings, and the laughter and chatter of a local community gathered around massive piles of eggs and hash browns. I loved it -- my Lumberjak order came with the aforementioned giant pancakes (stuffed with blueberries of course), two sausage links, two eggs and a ton of hashbrowns... and toast (get the homemade option).

The service was very kind and helpful, the atmosphere was homey, but sadly the food for both em and my wife was just a bit lacking. My wife loves biscuits and gravy but felt like hers were a bit over seasoned and far too much of an orange color and my parfait while delicious had a near inch thick honey well at the bottom which made finishing the insanely sweet dish nearly impossible. Maybe we just didn't get the luckiest day from the kitchen but at least we tried someplace new
