The food was amazing!
We are not from town, but were staying at Great Wolf Lodge for a few days and decided on this place before heading back home. Service was amazing, our waitress Sam was super lovely and gave us amazing service. And to top it off, they were play oldies !!! Nothing like amazing food with amazing music in the back.
10/10, plus the amazing view you get:)!!!
For sure will be back!

What a great little find! Went up to Michigan and found this place perfect for breakfast! Skillets were fantastic and so was the service! Very busy and there was a wait time, but they have seating outside and we were able to enjoy the weather.

Went there for breakfast. The waitress was great. She told some dad jokes which were funny. They had irish cream coffee creamer which was awesome. I got the popeye omelet and it was de-licious! The eggs were very fluffy and the cheese was the best I’ve had on an omelet. I’m sure it was swiss but it tasted great.

Had mimosas, which were great. Banana bread french toast was not, so soggy it was mush. We gave eaten here several times as the mimosas are good and food is usually good. However, do not come if you have places to be. We have never been here where we were greeted by a server sooner than 30 minutes of sitting at the table waiting. Typically a wait to get a table and then a MINIMUM of 30 minutes of waiting AT your table for someone to stop and acknowledge you and get you water. Then an hour wait for food. We just lost two hours here.

After learning of a recent gluten intolerance, it’s been learning how to order all over again. From our server Rae to the manager and the server who delivered the food, they all checked in and made sure everything was safe and cooked appropriately. Apart from that it’s the wonderful service and great food we’ve come to expect. Those spuds are so good.

Had a great meal at the Flap Jack Shack. I had the Meat Lover Omelette with buttermilk flap jacks and my wife had the Cinnamon with cream cheese flap jacks and hash browns. Both meals were delicious! The atmosphere of the Flap Jack Shack feels like a throwback to the 70s BUT it works.

Always hits the spot.
A proper diner, kitschy in the best possible ways, with amazing breakfast at a reasonable price and never fails to deliver and the view is amazing with the colors changing.

Breakfast/Lunch was AMAZING! Cinnamon roll flap jacks were to die for. My husband had a breakfast burger cooked an absolutely perfect Med rare. Our friends got the breakfast burrito and said hands down best they’ve ever had. To top the entire experience off, we had probably the best waitress I’ve had in a very long time, so a HUGE Shout out to SAM, you rocked girl! Keep up the great work, we’ll be back this summer sometime for sure and will be asking for you!

Was very disappointed today we come here a few times a year and this was one of the worst it’s been. Took an hour for us to get our food and when we got it this is what it looked like. Barely any gravy on biscuits and the banana bread French toast was so dry
