Iconic, circa-1942 American spot for Greek dishes & a salad bar amid photo-covered walls.

First time there was an amazing experience. It’s a very relaxed place to dine. The food was amazing and if you want to learn about a restaurants food quality check out their salad bar. I have never encountered a salad bar that was this fresh ever. The waitress that served us was pleasant and a delightful young lady. When I unrolled my silverware from my napkin there wasn’t a single water spot anywhere. This says a lot as they pay attention to small details.
They have homemade bread and pies and we are looking forward to dining here when in Ludington.

Very nice place to go. They offer a lot of different options. We went early in the morning and the staff were very attentive. Honestly a bit pricey for the food you got, but over all we had nice time! Definitely recommend the cinnamon roll!

Comfort food, friendly staff, great prices. The ingredients were fresh (especially the salad bar) and all seemed 100% cooked in house, including bread and pies. I wish we had saved our money at “nicer” restaurants in town, and eaten multiple meals here instead. Sadly, it was our last stop on the trip. Make it your first. To owner: I think the old style decor is part of the charm. I wouldn’t change a thing. People should appreciate variety and nostalgia, if they want cookie cutter, the McDonald’s is renovated.

Atmosphere could use some updating, but otherwise was pleasant. The food was delicious; I got the wet burrito , the red sauce was a bit overpowering. The service was friendly.

Local diner with options for everyone.
Free parking out front and lot in the back.
Overall the food was pretty good with massive portions. The staff was kind and service was good. They offer breakfast all day, which is a win in my book!
Gluten free options.
Wheelchair accessable from the back (I didn’t use the front door, so I can’t speak on that front). Note that the door doesn’t have an accessable button, so opening the door in a chair may be more difficult.
I did think it smelled kinda funky when I first walked in, but didn’t notice it after a while.

Good place for big servings of comfort food with a side of local history. And friendly service, too. The Hot Meatloaf Sandwich was all you hoped for, and as much as grandma tried to make you eat! And the homemade bread could have come directly out of her oven – impressive!

What a nice meal! I brought the whole family here 45 min before closing on a Monday, and was welcomed with open arms. The food was excellent (I had fried perch which was cooked to perfection), but the prices were even better. All of us ate full meals, and we even got a bottle of Michigan wine, and the total was $78. Extra special thanks to Marsha, the owner, who helped me retrieve my drivers license that I accidentally left on the SS Badger! I have eaten in countless restaurants all over America, and this will go down as one of my favorites.

We stopped in mid afternoon for a light lunch. This was the first time we had been here. Service and waitress very friendly. Atmosphere was great! We were seated by a painting from 1937. Impressive! Now..on to the food and beverages. We ordered Draft beers that were fairly priced and..nice and cold!!!! We ordered Vegetable soup, Sampler platter and Saganaki ( flaming cheese ) . Soup tasted great! Sampler platter which had chicken strips, potato skins with bacon, mozzarella sticks , deep fried mushrooms and onion rings (missing in photo due to my love of onion rings) and dipping sauces. One word Fantastic!!! Everything was delicious. I had to order another cold draft it was so good and cold! lol It was high 80s outside. Also, It went with the Saganaki that was like desert. We recommend the Old Hamlin Restaurant with enthusiasm!! OPA!!!!!

Very unlikely place. Lots of history, and very cozy. The food is better than expected (they do cook many items homemade from scratch). The blue cheese dressing is the best I have ever had; ever.. The bread is homemade. The soups are homemade. The service was outstanding. The atmosphere is historic, and inviting. This place doesn’t have it all, but what it excelled in, they hit it with a five star. We will be back, again and again.

I love family owned establishments! You can tell this has been here generations (1942),… not in an icky run-down way… but in a time-capsule sort of way. Was able to eat clean, but hubby had a grilled cheese with mashed potatoes… oh my, did it look good! Worth a stop.
