    I went there today for the first time and was totally amazed by the food that I ordered. I ordered the 3 egg omelette with a side of toast and coffee. Will return for sure.

    Eating at Dawn's in Colon, MI. The owner has been in business 13 years and their specialty is Breakfast. People were lined up to eat when we got here. Open 5 am - 2 pm every day.

    One of the daily specials. Cream chicken over biscuit, noodles and mashed potatoes. We give it a thumbs up!!

    We made reservations for two for Thanksgiving as we had been wanting to try this restaurant out. As…read moreit turned out we could have skipped the reservation as we were seated without confirmation. The cozy restaurant is in the country near a lake, has several acres of bird trails which we checked out after dinner, and gets good reviews. The good reviews were obviously not for the holiday buffet which consisted of two small serving stations - one for salad and one for main course items. The salad table was very basic with very limited items. We skipped a few things that appeared to be commercial macaroni/coleslaw salads with unknown ingredients and just stuck with the few fresh standards, a little grated cheese, and the single dressing offered (ranch? blue cheese?). The main table items were boring standards: potatoes, tasteless chopped turkey and ham slices, pre-sliced overdone beef swimming in something, nondescript gravy (from a jar?), mac and cheese, green bean casserole hot dish and cold, dried out deep fried fish and shrimp. Far and away the best part of our dinner were the desserts which were not included in the price of the buffet. The dinner, with wine, for two was over $125. We are guessing a meal from the menu on some other day might be better as the inn seems to be popular. However on this day the area around the buffet and reception areas were gridlock with elbow to elbow dinners. We laughed afterward that we could have had better food and variety at much less cost at somewhere like County Buffet or a simular chain.

    Holy moly. Went for the "supper club" aka lunch and lecture today. I paid 17.95 for The "famous"…read moresalad bar. What a joke. The salad bar is two rows but only one section was open. Most of the spaces were taken up by the lettuce and dressings. Not a bacon bit or boiled egg or a meaty protein on the bar. General selection of sliced onions, shredded cheese, radishes and wrinkled grape tomatoes. Some prepared salads too. Some looked to be weird 1970s recipes with carrots and beans while the standard favorites were also represented; potato salad and macaron salad. No breads. Just an assortment of packaged crackers and cracker sticks called "bread sticks." A pepper mill and some croutons. I can't believe I paid 17.95 for this. Everything was fresh (cept those grape tomatoes I just mentioned) but honestly. Where do they get off charging almost $20 for a dinner salad I had to make myself??? Beer was reasonably priced for the size and the service was cordial and friendly. Guest speaker was interesting but nothing to write home about. I'm gonna have to pass on this place. It's way over priced for the quality and quantity.
