Kendall was the best server ! She was so knowledgeable about the menu and seriously so kind. The food was incredible and the ambiance was very warm and welcoming
Full belly. Great service. Cozy atmosphere. I was in town for a couple of days. I came here for a breakfast that would really fill my belly for a day of enjoying the outdoors. My breakfast definitely fit the book (and didn't break the bank!) I had a fluffy omelet with potatoes, bacon, and biscuit. The coffee was dinne of the best I've had - that piping hot, bold-flavored diner coffee! But I left room for a cinnamon roll. I'm a sucker for a cinnamon roll, but only really good ones. This was one of the best I've had. It was huge, so I didn't finish it, but I packed it up and smacked on it later in the day.
We weren't sure where to eat visiting Grand Haven this week with my daughter who wanted pancakes. The line out the door pulled us in. We gave our name and said it would be 15-20 minutes so we headed next door to super cute local bookstore and got a text within about 10 minutes our table was ready. The waitress was incredibly friendly. She suggested a homemade cinnamon roll before our food and it was big enough to share and it was FANTASTIC. My daughter loved her French toast and bacon and I got the lunch special of a grilled Chicken sandwich with delicious pesto sauce. I subbed home fries / potatoes for the blue corn chips. My sandwich was awesome but the potatoes were hard and undercooked. I could not eat them. I loved for refills for our soda drinks she brought little carafes for us. Why don't more restaurants do this? It was a bustling place and super cute inside but it did take a bit for our food to come out. I didn't order dessert but they walk around with dessert tray that I snagged a photo of on way out. And while I didn't get a cocktail, love that they offered them!
Had breakfast there this AM after having gotten a recommendation from my wife's Fiesta dishes group (which they use to serve all the meals) and it was wonderful! Had a little 20 minute wait for our party of 6, but wow, the food was delicious! I had the stuffed French toast (OMG), a couple of us had the breakfast special, my wife had an omelet, and another had the biscuits and gravy. Our server was very nice, took our picture (!), and made sure the coffee was hot and plentiful. We split one of the "legendary" cinnamon rolls and it was literally the icing on a great meal. Highly, highly recommend.
We came in for brunch on Sunday 12/29/24 around 12:35pm. There was a 30ish minute wait - as usual, but we were able to sit at the counter right away. Maggie took great care of us. She was so chill and smiley. I had the Corned Beef Hash with 2 over easy eggs and sourdough toast. He had his usual/favorite Marbled Cornbread Scramble. We love Morning Star, highly recommend!
