The staff were friendly and engaging the moment we walked into the door. It was def a home style feel to the building and interior. I will say a bit outdated but sometimes those are the gems you don't know you are missing. The food was served quickly after ordering, around 10 minutes. It was fresh, hot and delicious. Couldn't have asked for a better breakfast for the value as well!

Such a cute small town restaurant. A great breakfast and lunch menu, servers that were friendly and…read morecommunicative and attentive. My husband ordered a burger and said it was one of his favorites, and the homemade chips that came with it were fantastic. I ordered a hot beef and mashed potatoes and the homemade bread it was served on was fantastic. The potatoes and gravy were great. The meat was a bit dry, but the gravy helped. We would definitely come again when we are in town.

One thing to note, they only take cash or checks. No debit or credit cards.

Great breakfast. We…read moregot takeout several times. Pancakes are big and good. When you add blueberries they add lots. Omelets are good. Corned beef hash is good. Biscuits and gravy is good (I'm a southerner). Portions are a good size. The bread is homemade, and it's good. Takeout was well organized - they gave us plenty of condiments. Highly recommend for breakfast. Cash or check only.

Our server Ashley (beautiful locks) was kind and communicated so well. My 10 year old said "best BLT of my whole life", homemade chips were crispy perfection, and the zucchini fries you must try!!

It would be easy to pass this little gem up in favor of more trendy eateries closer to a touristy…read moreup-north town, but that would be a big mistake. The Farmer's Table is conveniently located just off the Wolverine, MI exit of I-75. It looks like it may have once been a gas station; very unassuming building with a huge parking lot for all sorts of vehicles, trucks and RV's. Once you step inside, the magic happens. Cute and cozy, filled with charming little tables and a mercantile area, the friendly staff will greet you and make you feel at home. Their menu is varied with many entrees made from locally sourced ingredients. This concept feels fresh and healthy, though the entrees themselves feel like grandma's cooking. Not fancy or trendy, but hearty, flavorful home cooking. My husband chose a pork chop, baked potato, corn and side salad. The photo of the pork chop looks juicy and tender; it was just that. He said it was the best pork chop he's ever had. The apple glaze was really good. I chose the chicken cordon blue, to sample something I would not make at home. It was rich, a tad salty yet very good. The side corn was amazing, as was the apple slaw. Next time I'll ask for mashed potatoes without the dark gravy. We took a small fried raspberry pie for dessert on the road and enjoyed mulling the through their homemade bakery items. The prices were very reasonable. We will be making this stop a regular on our way up north. Look forward to trying their brunch items, which get raved reviews.

We had such a great experience at Maple and Batter, and a big part of that was our server, Mary…read more I've actually been here before and always find myself coming back because of her--she's that good. Mary is incredibly friendly, attentive, and makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you sit down. She's also very knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made ordering easy. She checks in at all the right times without being overbearing, keeps everything running smoothly, and brings such a positive energy to the whole experience. It's rare to find service this consistently great, but Mary truly stands out. If you're dining here, I highly recommend asking for her--you won't be disappointed!

This place was such a fun breakfast stop!…read more My wife ordered the Cinnamon Roll French Toast with a yogurt, and I had the Michigan Berry Salad. First of all... the portions are HUGE! We shared everything and still had leftovers. We were literally fighting over the last bite of that cinnamon roll French toast... I lost. But that's okay because I took my butt right back the next day and ordered a full serving all for myself! Now, the salad wasn't my favorite, but I do want to say this. With everything that's been in the news lately about fresh produce and people being cautious because of recent food safety concerns, I was paying close attention. This salad looked freshly prepared not dumped out of a bag which made me feel much better about ordering it. The real star of the show, though, was that Cinnamon Roll French Toast. It was absolutely worth going back for! The people in Gaylord are some of the sweetest you'll ever meet, and the staff here fit right in. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. The restaurant itself is colorful, cozy, and full of charm. I especially loved the giant colorful coffee mugs decorating the outside they're adorable and definitely photo-worthy! One thing to know before you go: they close at 2:00 PM, so make sure you get there before then. If you're looking for a wholesome breakfast spot with generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere, Rise & Dine is definitely a must-try!

I was afraid the pancakes and french toast would be super sweet, but they weren't. The pancakes were fluffy and not too sweet. The toppings were well incorporated and not over powering. The French toast was perfectly cooked and not too big. The whipped cream was delicious and not overly sweet. I was afraid the coffee would be mediocre, but it was perfect. I wish I lived here so I could try more of the menu! Our server, Audley, was polite, understood the menu, and timely. It was the best breakfast I have ever had, so I wanted to make sure the staff knew what a great time I had. I asked to speak to the manager. Yelp is fine, but I strongly believe in paying compliments directly to those in charge. The manager could not have been less interested in talking to me. A middle aged, medium height, average sized, medium blonde haired woman with large earrings, anxious eyes, and a false smile... she was quick to come over and quick to ignore me. She made minimal eye contact, turned her body away from me, and proceeded to pick up plates before I had finished my sentence. She turned her body away before I was done speaking. As soon as she felt I had spoken long enough, she left. It was a strange experience for an otherwise pleasant meal. If I lived closer, I'd likely choose somewhere else for future breakfasts. When management isn't interested in doing their job, service tends to follow. It's too bad. If only she had managed to stand still, face me, and listen... I might have given this a five star review.

Our party had the sticky bun, cinnamon roll, eggs benny, half order biscuit and gravy, side of corned beef hash, kids mini pancake, and an omelet. Everything was yummy. The sticky bun was the star of the show. As a southerner I can say the biscuit and gravy wasn't as good as it could have been, but it was a good dish. The Mickey Mouse shaped pancake was a big hit. The corned beef hash was very yummy. The portions were huge.

The food was perfect and yes, I had the Squirrel salad again, but my sister had to build a burger with extra crispy sweet potato fries and her friend had a grilled chicken burger. He thought he was following doctors orders, but my sister took the bacon off it for him and ate it herself! . We couldn't sit in the sports part because I had something to do with the fan in the kitchen, so that's the only thing I didn't like as we sat at a different table than our absolute usual. Other than that, I can't help but giving this epic place with its epic chef five stars. It has to be my favorite place ever to eat at in Gaylord.
