Sticky AND the Burt Lake Biscuits and gravy ! ( we added a few hash browns on top ) perfect!
RobertMosura M.

After 50+ years and dreaming of the "sticky bun" at this cafe... Im back ! Everything was awesome. This is truly the place you come and enjoy family trips . All of out food was perfect. Hash, egg bene and out biscuits and gravy all perfect .

Downtown Breakfast

We stopped here based on our AirBNB recommendation and had a pretty good experience. It's exactly what you'd expect from a small diner all the way down to the ads on the tabletop and mugs. The food itself was pretty good and I felt like the service was friendly -- the sweet potato fries were especially good and the portions were generous--the bowl of oatmeal was massive! We only had breakfast but the lunch items looked good as well. The only downside I'd note is that it's not a great place for a group larger than 4 as it didn't seem like they had too many tables that could accommodate it. We had to split our party into separate tables after waiting quite a while -- not a huge deal but a bit of a bummer for a family vacation. All & all I wouldn't go out of my way for it - but - would happily return.

We were seated immediately and able to give our order right away. Our server was attentive, and friendly. I didn't catch his name, but on our bill, it said server # 8. Food came about 15 minutes later. The family of 6 next to us had to wait a bit longer. The food is well worth the wait but you may need to be patient. We were very pleased with the mushroom burger and biscuits and gravy. The corn beef hash (I prefer mine chunky) was a bit dry but tasty. An added egg would have helped that. We would definitely come back.

Awesome little diner. Food was great and the service was quick. A must try as you pass through town.

I highly recommend this place! The food is amazing and the staff is very friendly! We ordered sticky buns split and grilled, elk sausage, cinnamon roll waffle and breakfast burrito. They are open from 8am to 2pm. There was a wait to get in, order and get our food. But the understandable considering how good their food is! Reasonably priced too!

Good solid breakfast. This place doesn't give off an air of tourist trap or homey wonders only. It's a blend of both and with a menu to back it up.

For that omelette price to go I was a bit disappointed it did not include hash browns.

Absolutely delicious food! Stopped for breakfast outside of Mackinaw city and well worth the short drive.

Love the breakfasts! They also have a great place to sit outside, eat, and watch the downtown area! (The outdoor area is great for kids!)

We've heard so much about this restaurant. Friends came into town unexpectedly and we had an…read moreopportunity to visit. It was a lively and clean restaurant. The menu selection was diverse, American bar food to a bit more refined. This is as close to a sports bar with a country flair that overlooks Mullet Lake with beautiful views, that you can find in non-metropolitan area.

Breakers has a casual, sports bar setting. There are several television stations broadcasting. You…read morecan play Keno and chat with friendly folk. The main issue was that we were really hungry, having spent hours waiting on auto repair. The brisket tacos did not satisfy but to alleviate hunger. The flour tortillas were what my sister called 'raw'. They were not heated at all. The brisket meat was lukewarm warm. The cabbage slaw was raw. There was a dab of chunky plastic jar salsa already placed in the middle of each taco. Chips and salsa: the salsa was in a very small plastic thimble. We couldn't even fit a chip into the salsa. The best part about our dinner: the server asked if everything was good. I told her that it was definitely not my favorite EVER. The wonderful thing about this was that she asked me to explain. She did not show an animosity and was truly inquisitive about our dislike of the food. She said that she would tell 'him'. I am assuming that 'he' would be the cook. I appreciated her concern because the bill was about $40 and when my sister can't finish her meal that's a problem. It was about 430 and I hadn't eaten all day so I did finish mine but I couldn't say that I was not pleased with it. Although nothing was spoiled and it certainly could've been worse. I don't know if I could trust going back. I think that they could do a real light marinade on the cabbage to soften it a bit and if they fried the tortillas and maybe offered corn or tortilla in the beginning, it would be an improvement. Or how about if the salsa so called and in such a tiny vessel, it wasn't tasteless but clearly store-bought. Any restaurant should be able to do something with this information. I don't mean to be negative or demeaning, but I do intend to given an honest review based on my impression. Good luck Breakers. I was actually very happy to see that something was open during this flooding season. Unfortunately, I would've driven 50 miles further to have a better dinner.
