I was with a large work group and was into too many conversations, thus I forgot to take any photos. Oops. I will say this place is worth your time and money. It's a typical breakfast place and it's clean. The staff were great and very attentive. The food was top notch, even though I forgot to take any photos. I got the New York strip with eggs and hash browns. If you like steak, get this! It was delicious and it was only a few bucks more than most of the other breakfast options. I would definitely come back again! read more

Classic dinner! Great fast service. Many excellent options. Breakfast for everyone. Ambiance is classic, busy, noisy, bustling.

Super friendly staff, great server, and even the other customers were really nice. Definitely has that cozy mom-and-pop vibe. Food was solid! They really love their potatoes though....the Farmer's Omelette could honestly be called the "potato omelette with a side of potatoes." Place was clean, but one side was pretty toasty....guessing it's right under the HVAC vent. I'd stop by again if I'm in the area. Plenty of dedicated parking too! read more

We were in the area and needed breakfast. The high rating is much deserved. Friendly greeting, spacious dining room and excellent food. The country fried steak is delicious, topped with a perfectly savory white pepper gravy. Portions are huge. We took a lot away. I ordered a biscuit as my toast and it came grilled - which was delicious. Very clean place. Service is very friendly and perfectly attentive. The food came out so fast. I will surely be back with my husband and maybe try the jumbo cinnamon roll next time. We ordered the country special breakfast and country fried steak. The meat is like a large sausage patty and just perfectly delicious. 100% recommend. Easy to find, easy parking. read more

Cheryl's is always packed and with good reason. You get tons of yumcious food for the price. I can be picky about my eggs and their over/medium eggs are perfect every single time. Best breakfast in town! read more

good food at a good price. coffee was fresh and hot!! A convenient breakfast and lunch place not too far from Hartland and in Brighton.

This is the type or place where old people talk about their trauma. DONT TRY TO BEFRIEND THE WORKERS!!! Ok so you want my honest review so my grandma brother and I walk in in this depressed college guy looks at us and mumbles something. I said he keeps on mumbling it over and over again and then he starts talking and he was like sit right there so we did! Did this lady who looks like she would work at a diner keeps refilling my water. my grandma comes here a lot and she like knows this lady's name by heart she's all nice and trying to talk to her and the lady is just like so cold and grumpy. When we were about to leave, I needed to use the laboratory and this scary photo of Elvis Presley stares me down while I take a pee. So that I finish peeing and my grandma's paying and then I spot a bowl of dumb dumb suckers and I took about 10 and nobody noticed. So if you want to make your life even worse, make sure to stop at Cheryl's read more

Cheryl's Place - Bathroom - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

Pretty packed for a Thursday morning, but the service was quicker than we expected! Nice, cozy hometown breakfast spot that was suggested by our hotel. My French toast was crispy on the edges and cooked to perfection, not overly sweet but just right! Everyone loved their food, including my toddler and her kids pancake! read more

Great breakfast place Looks crowded from outside but bigger inside Service fast Huge servings read more

Came here due to my family being from Lansing and I was trying to find places that are the mid point for us. and First of all, the food is huge for the price. It took about 15 minutes to be sat but once we were sat, it took about 15 minutes for the food to come out. Service was prompt and very professional . The seating itself is kind of cramped, you can tell the place is busy so that make use of all available space they can. Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. This place is a gem. Well worth the 40 minute drive for two days worth of food! read more

Cheryl's Place - Cinnamon Roll French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

This is a classic dinner for breakfast. Our party of four was able to be seated right away, even though we were there at peak hours and the place was busy. The food was delicious and I highly recommend ordering a Jumbo Cinnamon Roll French Toast for the table. It's a lot for one person, but you obviously need to order it. read more

Cheryl's was ok. The service was really nice and fast. We drove by early on a Saturday, and every spot was full, so we decided to run errands and come back later. It was a good choice because the rush had died down. I tried the French toast cinnamon roll. Did not need a full portion. I also got a side of bacon. I wasn't really impressed with the food. It was all right. The potions were huge, but this isn't a place I was inspired to want to come back and try other menu items. It falls in the category with other average coney islands or diners. read more

Cheryl's is always full with a wait but it's so worth it and the wait is usually not very long! Fast, great service and the waitresses will frequently walk around refilling coffee which is nice. Everything I've tried here is amazing! Best casual breakfast spot around. read more

AMAZING food. Love how they serve lunch at breakfast. Coffee is superior. Only complaint is that the bathroom. Could be in better shape. Still worth the 5/5. read more

Love the food here. My only critique: the hash browns are kinda like mash browns. Please make them crispy thru out. read more

Classic diner vibes with generous portions, fast service and great tasting breakfast. Quickly sat on a Saturday morning. Eggs are XL, potatoes taste like real potatoes (rare these days!) and a huge portion of bacon. The highlight for me also included the b&g. These were very good - dense biscuit, seasoned gravy with sausage chunks. Coffee was OK, not too acidic, the diner style mug was the selling point. Will definitely return to try other menu items. read more

Tried twice when we lived in Brighton. Didn't care for it. No service issues. They need better hours.

Cheryl's Place is always buzzing with energy -- clearly, everyone knows where the good breakfast is. The eggs were cooked perfectly, and the grilled cinnamon roll was a standout. Busy spot, but absolutely worth the wait! read more

Delicious veggie eggs Benedict. Great place for breakfast. Everything on the menu was tempting. Very unique outside castle decor. Right off the expressway. read more

Great food. Good portions. Friendly server. Kind of loud when lots if people but no tvs.

Nestled among trees where Spencer ends at Old US 23, Cheryl's welcomes you with it's rock exterior, metal roof and a cone roof over the entrance. It's a bustling business, so expect to compete with your neighbors to be heard in the front part of the dining room where you'll likely be sitting very close to other patrons. The rear dining room is noticeably quieter with tables spaced a little further apart. We were here for breakfast around 11a.m. on a Saturday, and there was no wait. Our server was very nice and attentive. Bussers cleared empty dishes quickly. My Greek skillet was excellent after adding some salt and pepper. I could have easily split this with someone. Unless you really need it, I'd skip hot tea since you get a 10¢ Lipton tea bag for nearly $3. I also can't recommend the cinnamon roll French toast. While it looks delectable, it's so dense that is off-putting. If you're always cold, request that you not sit near the front door during Michigan's colder months Watch out for the 3% fee on top of your bill if you use your credit card! They won't tell you ahead of time and then they'll point to a sticker the size of an index card on the wall behind the register and apologize that the sticker isn't bigger. I will never return to a business that does this and doesn't tell you before they ring you up, so I deducted one star for this. So if that doesn't bother you, consider this a four star restaurant, and I'm willing to bet you'll enjoy your meal! read more

I don't know what the hype is about the food. It's ok, but nothing more than an average Coney Island type breakfast. Casual atmosphere. I got a huge pancake and it covered the entire plate. It tastes fine, but was a little rubbery. I had it with bacon. I will say you get a nice portion of bacon! Got eggs basted and the yolks were nearly done. Service was good. Nice staff. The place gets cram packed on the weekends without much room to move so keep that in mine l. read more

Delicious food with great presentation, excellent service, and bathroom and dining room cleanliness was stellar! We will be back!

Great breakfast place. Wonderful staff. Fast, delicious and cordial!!! Easy to access and park

Delicious pancake and sausage. If you are hungry for potatoes like only Michiganders can make this is your place. Friendly service and boisterous ambiance. Hope to come back when back in Michigan. read more

Food was really good! Came out hot, fast and fresh. Service was really friendly prompt and helpful. Restaurant is very clean. A very nice sort of all American breakfast place. Price point is good! We were looking for something off the highway while traveling that had a good rating with good food and this fit the bill. read more

Great food, great prices, nice staff. We went around 11:00 on a Saturday and we were seated immediately

A solid choice for Sunday brunch! We don't wander into this area very often but were excited to try somewhere new. It was obvious from the moment we walked in that Cheryl's is very popular amongst the locals. Every possible space for a table is used in the restaurant, so it can make it a bit awkward while you're standing and waiting for a table. Thankfully, for parties of 2, there was less than a 5 minute wait. If you have a slightly bigger party, you might end up waiting for a bit longer than that. Our waitress was friendly and attention. She was also ready to offer up drinks and take our orders quickly. The coffee was a bit... I dunno how to describe it? It was a bit of a let down and might have tasted a smidge like soap? I didn't love it. Our food was pretty darn good too. The Country Skillet was tasty and there was so much of it! (Two people could easily share it.) Breakfast #2's Corned Beef was nice and tasty. (So many places just get this canned and it tastes like awful mush.) Overall, this is a solid choice, and I can see why people would come here. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out. read more

Cheryl's place is my go to place for breakfast and lunch. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food is excellent for taste and quantity. It is always busy so you know it must be good. It closes at 3pm so don't expect dinner. read more

Great fast brunch! This place is obviously a local favorite. It looks like a castle from the outside. Has plenty of parking Friendly servers, even though they were rushing with so many people, they were sociable and nice. Tasty Steak and eggs, the biggest blueberry pancake I have ever seen and tasty breakfast burrito (too much cheese for me) they make your meal to order. We had an immense, fresh, hot breakfast... the bill was $30. A bargain for a mountain of food! read more

5 stars for Cheryl's! It was exactly what we wanted it to be! After a busy morning at a packed Gilmore girls festival, we were in search of a good breakfast spot outside of downtown. Though Cheryl's was hopping, we were seated immediately and waited on quickly, kindly and efficiently! The coffee was hot and good and kept coming. As did our much needed water refills. Breakfast was delicious. I opted for an omelet, it was just what I wanted and expected. The hash browns were crunchy, and the toast was delicious (home made? Home made somewhere!). My friend had the mini breakfast and THIS was the pancake. Are you kidding?!?!?!?? Everything was great! We'll go back again! read more

Super crowded and I have no idea why . The food is horrible and tasteless if you don't count the high salt content in your scrambled eggs . Why ? Tiny coffee cups and the worst burnt coffee. I had not been there in 20 years and now I remember why . I didnt eat more than 1 bite . I couldn't complain and get new food because it took to long . I paid and went someplace else . Disgusting read more

Food was delicious, service was incredible. Highly recommend the sausage links and biscuits and gravy. Coffee was really goodGreat place!

Great diner north of green oak area of Brighton. Came here on a Saturday around 1130. Tons of breakfast options, as well as lunchtime food if that's what you're in the mood for. They continuously make sure your coffee is topped off and you have everything you need. Parking is plentiful and you get seated right away. My only suggestion would be gluten free toast. Didn't stop me from enjoying the veggie skillet read more

$$ Super cute outside that looks like a mini castle. Our server was very nice and prompt. We ordered biscuits and gravy meal and the Ruben. The gravy had no sausage and although we ordered the hash browns crispy, they were so crispy we had to use a knife. The Ruben was chewy but not overly greasy, as they can be. Overall not the best but not the worst. Another one and done. The bill was over $30 with a fountain drink. read more
