I loved the 50s diner feel. Stephie was in the kitchen. Our food was delicious. Our server was awesome.
We stopped in this morning because we are staying nearby and we absolutely LOVED it. We met Joan and the other amazing lady who worked there (I’m so sorry we didn’t get your name) and had the nicest conversation with them. We felt super welcome and I could have stayed there chatting forever. The breakfast buffet and coffee was also …
Aunt Stephie makes the best food and is just the sweetest lady you'll ever meet! Think of a southern Grandma-type of personality. ♥️ I am particularly fond of her soups, the hot turkey sandwich (especially if you're lucky enough to get a stuffin muffin with it!) and the turkey melt on a pretzel bun with honey mustard (so messy but …
Great place to eat breakfast. The ladies are very friendly and very attentive. 5 stars for sure.
Great food. Price is portion appropriate, never left hungry...
Great food, it's a small mom & pops kinda place. With a diner esthetic, the phones on the walls are photos from Paris. The food is home made goodness and can't help but get desert. The owner is a wonderful down to earth woman who runs it hands on.
It was an awesome place to grab dinner with my wife for a hot date with our four month old baby. The staff was super nice and the food was hot and delicious. I had the bacon deluxe burger and it was scrumptious. I was so full.
Excellent food, ambiance, and service. This is a gem of a restaurant in downtown Ionia. For our recent visit, my husband ordered a Reuben with fries and I ordered the cranberry nut-meat chicken salad on a croissant. Both very very tasty - in fact, my husband commented that his Reuben was the best he had ever had. Reasonable prices, too. …
Visiting from St Helens, Oregon and wish I had discovered this gem when I first got here because I leave tomorrow and have had Stephie’s two days in a row and it just gets better!!! The gravy is superb, eggs done eggsactly perfect hashbrows are delicious. I could put this gravy on anything and elevate it no joke. So good!!! …
Loved this restaurant. Ambience has a diner-styled vibe. I had the taco salad bowl and it was delightful. Even though it originally has meat, they were able to change it up to accommodate my vegetarian preferences. The service was very friendly and welcoming. The prices are rather affordable too. Highly recommend!
