I came across this café while looking for a quiet place to get some work done, and I'm so glad I…read moredid! First of all, the name caught my attention because I'm a huge Edgar Allan Poe fan. I was pleasantly surprised that the Poe theme is clever and subtle rather than overly cheesy. The décor has more of an antique bookstore feel, with fun Poe inspired names throughout the menu. Despite the theme, there's nothing dark or dreary about this place. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the service was prompt. Our waiter was friendly and had some great recommendations. The soup sampler was easily the highlight for me. I've never seen anything like it before! I tried the baja chicken enchilada, mushroom with brie cheese, beef chili with beans, and the special of the month potato curry. I ranked them from favorite to least favorite, but honestly, everything was delicious in its own way. My drink and sandwich with a side of potato salad was very tasty! I finished the whole thing! If you're a Poe fan, the witty menu names will definitely make you smile. The food is good, portions are satisfying, and the prices are reasonable. I'd absolutely come back if I'm ever in the area again to try more of the menu.

This is my third visit, and although my eggs last time were overcooked, (could of been the way I ordered) I've never had a bad breakfast here yet. This time, I wasn't as hungry, so I just had oatmeal with raisins and walnuts. Their coffee is a regular Joe, and they also have an old-school cappuccino machine. The service is always sweet and simple, and just remember to take your ticket to the cashier to pay.

Hungry for breakfast after camping we stopped into Maria's based on high review scores and they…read moreweren't kidding. When you walk in there is a very comfortable ambiance with very nice decor, updated woodwork, light fixtures and historic pictures/ photos of Port Huron or nautical views. There are many large spacious booths (6 smaller adults could easily fit) and tables as well, which look new but classic diner touches with silver molding/ trim. The staff were very friendly, hospitable and personable giving honest feedback for our choices as 1st time patrons. The coffee was delicious and the mugs had a good feel in the hand. I enjoyed the Country Fried Steak and my over medium eggs were perfectly cooked and delicious on their sourdough toast. Hash browns were buttery and had nice crisp to them. My friend had the Country Benedict and also enjoyed her meal very much. While the country gravy had ample bits of sausage and was plentifully served, it was a tad too thick for me personally; though our server said it was one of their best dishes. There was parking in the street in front the morning we went, not sure of additional parking options. The entrance is on the corner with 2 doors to get in, the door we used had a small step up and I believe the 2nd door may be more accessible for people with mobility challenges. Inside was spacious and his/ hers 1 seater restrooms that could accommodate mobility equipment (wheelchairs or walkers). Pricing was 2/4 $$, and appropriate for the high quality homemade meals you'll enjoy. We were even able to get coffee to go and enjoyed during our drive home to Dearborn! I highly recommend Maria's for a great experience and will definitely be back!

On a separate note, we were visiting the lighthouse and asked about the restaurant and the woman at the gift shop recommended it and said the thing that she liked about the restaurant the best was every single item on the menu featured something from Michigan.

I've been there a few times now and what I observe is people eating not people enjoying a unique tasty meal with water views. I saw people eat and leave quickly without really enjoying their meal. Based on our meals, what I saw coming out of the kitchen and how fast it came out, Freighters must be serving a lot of frozen product, basically pub food. The cheese curds were the saddest, greasiest one I ever had (they were squares not curds) and hit the trash when we got home. Service was good. Not sure what the answer is. Perhaps it is just the taste of the people in the area...they like what they like. The Entrees on the menu were somewhat diverse and it looks like they are trying to upscale a little. We vacation to the thumb area often and finding good dining even good pub dining is very challenging.

He encouraged us to come back to let him feed us. We finally were able to line our schedule up with their hours late in the week, and we were not disappointed! The tenderloin steaks were phenomenal. The venison is the best that I have had, especially with the blackberry reduction. Every course that we were served was top notch. We were able to make it down for brunch before we left out, and it did not disappoint either! I had the brisket casserole, and it was great. The brisket was so tender and flavorful, and the sauce for the casserole was rich and flavorful. The stuffed French toast was lovely. I am not a big sweet eater, but my husband is, and he thoroughly enjoyed it. The chicken and waffles were cooked to perfection, and both of my adult boys really enjoyed them. We will definitely be back to Legacy the next time we are near Sarnia!
