    Bacon & Eggs with Hashbrowns and an awesome English muffin!

    I like that this restaurant is not a chain. The building is in the mall but next to an entrance. The food has always been delicious! Thick bacon, real butter on my unique english muffin, fast and friendly service and the venue is nice and very clean. They also have an extensive salad bar which is always fresh! The owner can be seen on site and he is always pleasant and friendly! Check it out!

    Eggs & Toast

    Service was great and food was amazing, not sure if it was the manager or owner but he was super welcoming and hospitable. Super nice place and I'm coming back with my girlfriend for sure

    Veggie omelet

    This is a fine example of a Michigan diner. I was on a 3 hour road trip and needed a bathroom break. Originally stopped at the Panera to relieve the pressure. Aha! It was time for breakfast so I took a chance on this place based on Yelp review. Great for breakfast today. Everything was well prepared and tasty for the wife and I. Service was impeccable. Coffee cups stayed filled although one was decaf and the other regular. My veggie omelet and American fries were done to perfection. Neither over nor under cooked that happens frequently with breakfast potatoes. You enter the restaurant through the mall entrance and it's immediately on your right. The restaurant is nicely decorated with an embossed ceiling.

    Turkey melt

    Had turkey melt, which was excellent but fries were even better. Sandwich had a smoky teaser which was pleasant. Bun is soft and fresh. Several pairsmeeting at lunchtime Thursday, plus one large party. Overall was calm with oldies not too loud on radio (covered several decades). There was soup and salad bar. Restroom was clean and well stocked. Quick friendly service when I was there. Only rails or trains in sight were in photos and on top of salad bar.

    This is seen as soon as you walk in the front doors.

    Our first time here. The food was really good and service was too. Upon parking in the parking lot, looks are deceiving. You have to enter the establishment from inside the mall. The decor was pretty nice and the place was clean.

    Smothered pork steak with fries.

    Fantastic food, drinks, and service…read more - - - - - - - - August, 2026 Visit We went on a road trip, from Missouri to Michigan, for a family event, and on Friday night we joined countless others in attending the outdoors concert in downtown Midland, MI. We set up our chairs on the street next to Molasses, near the stage. And... we became hungry and benefitted from Molasses. We were able to order and enjoy the wonderfully tasty burnt ends before they were sold out; we also enjoyed some tasty street corn and some adult and non-alcoholic beverages. The staff is fantastically helpful and friendly. We look to return on our next visit. Thanks, Molasses!

    Overall not bad, although I've certainly had better in other places…read more The decor is right on point with what you would expect in a barbecue joint. They all seem to have the country Honky Tonk bar appearance, and I suppose that's what people expect. The staff was reasonably attentive, although they weren't terribly busy the night I've visited so I suppose they didn't have a lot to do, lol. I ordered the ribs with a side of coleslaw. Overall the ribs were fine, but they weren't quite as tender as I'm used to. As I recall the coleslaw was adequate but nothing special. Pricing was a little on the high side, but I get it that it cost money to run a place like this. Overall I don't think I would be inclined to come back.
