I recently stopped by Gary's Restaurant for lunch and had a pretty decent experience. I ordered the…read moreprime rib sandwich from the lunch menu. The food was okay -- not the best I've ever had, but definitely not the worst either. The sandwich had good flavor and the portion size was fair. The service was solid and the atmosphere felt like a classic local diner, which I always appreciate. It seems like one of those places that probably shines more with their breakfast options, so I'll definitely be coming back to try the breakfast menu next time. Overall, a decent local spot worth trying if you're in the area.

Good food, attentive service. Ample parking. Decent prices…read more I had scrambled eggs, meat (I chose ham) and instead of toast I got American fries (hash browns were an option as well)

I have been going to Carmen's for years and not once was I disappointed. Great atmosphere and super…read morefriendly service the ladies that work there are quick and efficient. It is my go to breakfast place because I love their rye bread and their potato pancakes. But the best thing of all to me, is there hamburgers! I think they should win an award for their hamburgers. And their french fries are always done just right. If you want a chef salad with all the fixings, fresh and huge. I highly recommend Carmen's.

Ask for the anniversary pancakes!

Lakeside cafe is a gem. We were passing through and ate here for breakfast. We split the spicy…read morehashbrowns with a biscuit. Both were absolutely delicious. We would have ordered more, but we had a few hours of drive in front of us and didn't want to be in a food coma. The coffee was decent, but it was the run of the mill diner coffee. Nothing to write home about, but coffee is not why I go to breakfast joints. The service was fantastic. We sat outside with our dogs and the waitstaff brought them them only the best water (iced). Very dog friendly staff and they loved our dogs, as well as most of the customers coming in and out. Hearing the staff and customers interact, it's that nice town feel --one that they know and care about each other and build a community. 10/10 would eat here again!

Stopped here on our way home from our cottage. The restaurant is train themed, because it's in an…read moreold train depot. The place is peppered with charming old photos. There is even a caboose for the kids to play on near the entrance. They also have a toy train that goes around the ceiling. It's just a cool place if you have kiddos or love history. Was very pleased to see they have all day breakfast for my pancake loving kiddo! He got the Mickey Mouse pancakes. Had chocolate chips for eyes and a nose and a piece of bacon for the mouth. He ate every single bite. I ordered the taco salad and it was very good nothing to write home about but will definitely get again. My husband got the chicken fried steak and loved it so much that I didn't even get a chance to take a picture of it. They also have a ton of different pies and turnovers and cookies to choose from. Lemon Meringue pie is my absolute favorite and I was able to get a piece of that. They also have peanut butter pie, pecan pie, coconut cream pie, cherry pie, apple pie.... you name it is so good and you can tell everything is made from scratch. Will Definitely be back for breakfast again!

Stopped here mid morning on a Sunday as we were driving through Grant. It was not busy and we were…read moreseated right away as a party of two. By the time we left around 10:30/10:45 it was picking up a little bit and it appears that they have some sort of breakfast buffet. We weren't informed of what it was and I didn't see it on the menu. We both ordered breakfast and also their fried pickles for an app. The pickles were not good. The pickle was like frozen cold and I also don't think the cream cheese is a good addition. The breakfast was pretty good though! I had chocolate chip pancakes, eggs and sausage. The eggs were cooked to my ordered temp and the sausage was good. I especially liked the pancakes! The spot is an old train depot (duh). We were sitting in the front room and sat in one of the old booths. It was SO quiet. I felt like all the others tables could hear my entire conversation. I think it'd be cool to be in the restaurant at a table next to a window while a train is going by behind the restaurant.

We came in around 8:00 on Sunday, 2/1/26 and sat at the bar. The bartender Jackie was busy and didn't see us for a couple minutes - once she did she apologized and took great care of us! We started with boneless wings, 1/2 buffalo, 1/2 garlic parm, they were really good! For our entrees I had the prime rib quesadilla and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! It was served SO hot I thought I would burn my mouth! But it would be worth it! He had the perch dinner and wasn't as thrilled with it as I was with mine. He said the perch is better at Whitlow's. There were lots of games on, hockey, basketball and a sports documentary. It wasn't too loud, but it is a lively atmosphere. I'm happy with our experience and hope we come back again soon.

After reading multiple posts and reviews from former employees dating from 2023 to the present, I'm…read morevery concerned about the number of recurring allegations regarding this business. Several people claim there have been repeated payroll issues, poor workplace conditions, lack of cleanliness, and management problems. The photos and accounts shared online are concerning. As a customer, food safety and how employees are treated are both important to me. Until these concerns are addressed transparently, I don't feel comfortable supporting this business. I encourage anyone considering visiting to do your research.
