A cozy local breakfast spot with generous portions and a welcoming atmosphere! We were seated quickly, and the service was warm and efficient--our food came out fast. We ordered two kids' meals, a scramble (swapping potatoes for hash browns), a traditional breakfast plate with added pancakes, and a cinnamon roll. The roll itself was tasty, but we weren't fans of the butter topping--I'd skip that next time and stick with the pancakes, which were excellent! The menu is simple but offers a nice variety for everyone. The only downside was the coffee, which was very watered down. Next time, I'd go with juice or water instead. Prices were very reasonable--our bill for two adult meals adding pancakes and hasbrown side, two kids' meals with drinks, two coffees, a large cinnamon roll, and tip came to $60, which is comparable to most breakfast spots. Parking is convenient, with spaces available in front of the café and along the street. Overall, this was a great find, and we'll definitely be back to try their lunch menu! read more

A local diner in town. When my o it of town family comes to visit, we will all go here for a typical American style breakfast. They have all your typical breakfast items - eggs, sausage, pancakes, breakfast burritos. Friendly servers and old time vibe. It's a good place and love supporting local businesses. read more

This is our go-to breakfast spot when we're on vacation. It's always clean and the service is great. The food has been better in the past though--the omelette came with a slice of cheese on top instead of melted in the middle like usual. Coffee was average, but the rye toast was fantastic! Still, I'd definitely recommend it. read more

One of the best breakfast places we have ever been too! The breakfast burrito and Irish skillet were huge hits!

Everything from the service to the food was excellent. Large portions and fresh ingredients.

Great little breakfast spot. Cute decor. Nice staff & good food at a great price. Service wasn't super fast but the place was packed.

If I could give Deb's more stars I would!!! We were rerouted for breakfast several times this morning and I think we were meant to come here. Our waitress, Cindy, was so kind and attentive. The omelettes were delicious! Both my mom and I got corned beef with cheddar, plus a side of bacon (the real stuff!!!) and cup of gravy to split. Generous portions... half to take home. Coffee was kept hot & full. Warmly welcomed by all the staff and cozy interior. Can't wait to come back! read more

The food is spectacular and obviously all homemade. I had chicken strips, which were delicious along with the housemade French fries. My husband had the stuffed hashbrowns, so unique and tasty!

Their stuffed Hashbrowns are so good. Come early it fills up quick. Also good coffee and good service!

Incredible breakfast joint, our new favorite. I saw "cinnamon roll breakfast sandwich" on the menu and kept going back to that despite all the other options. Best sandwich ever. read more

Best breakfast I've had. Great service. Love stopping here when we are in the area. The cinnamon rolls are amazing.

Friendly staff. Food was EXCELLENT. Large portions cooked to our requests. Worth the stop. You won't be disappointed!!!!

This place is excellent. All food is homemade. The day I visited the special was Beef Goulash with garlic bread for $5.95. They gave me a sample and it was great, but I went with the freshly roasted open face turkey sandwich. The turkey was tender and covered in delicious turkey gravy that wasn't salty. The mashed potatoes are homemade and they leave some lumps in them. My friend had the club sandwich. It is huge. It is filled with fresh roasted turkey, bacon, romaine lettuce, tomato, and mayo. It is on thick white bread. The staff are friendly and efficient. There are tables and booths. You pay at the front counter on your way out. There is free parking in front of the restaurant along the street. I wish I lived by this place because the home cooked food is AMAZING. read more

Great food and service. Good home cooking. Great breakfast items. Yummy homemade pies.

We saw this restaurant in Shelby when we were checking out the bike path. We decided to have breakfast here our last morning of a beautiful week stay in a cottage on nearby on Lake Michigan. Our waitress, Erin, was very friendly and helped us make our menu choices. I am thankful that they offer half portions!The food is truly homemade and is delicious! You must go!! We'd love to come back sometime and try lunch! read more

Like all the reviews say, just fabulous! Traveling through or escaping the food/prices at Double JJ, this place is a stand alone success! Super friendly staff, lightning fast service, on point perfect food for the type of diner/homemade fare. All around just fantastic. Food was fresh, delicious with the right amount of flavor. My hash was wonderful with homemade corned beef that melted in my mouth! I tried the breakfast burrito which had gravy on it and seriously a delight. I would never have guessed the goodness that comes out of putting a super great omelet inside a giant tortilla and throwing some super great gravy on top! We'll be back any time we're anywhere near here! Hooray for the other Yelpers that posted their reviews and guided us here! read more

Want the biggest best club sandwich you've ever had, this is the place. Super nice family and they treat you like your a member.

Went because had great reviews but boy were we disappointed. It took us 30 minutes to get breakfast food and that was after waiting 15 minutes until the waitress came around to address us. We even took the opportunity and order right away since we didn't want to wait another 15 min to get coffee and water. When we finally got the food, it was just not great... uncooked egg whites (even when we ordered medium). Toast was barely toasted, hash browns undercooked. How do you screw up breakfast????? A total disappointment. read more

We had a party of 25 that came in for breakfast and it was great! Staff was very accommodating and on point with our orders The skillets were a favorite, corned beef hash was popular. I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was delicious if you like onions and green peppers. We would definitely go back. read more

When in Shelby or anywhere around Oceana County, I recommend you make a stop at Deb's. This is small town home made food at it's finest. The options and portions are just right and the lake perch is delicious. Days later, and I'm still thinking about their fried shoe string onion rings. They even make their own thousand island dressing. I'd been sad when they left their location next to the beautiful Hart Lake, but this place is much better for their business as they are open most of the year. And if you can focus on the food, and not the sparse atmosphere or occasionally stressed out servers, then you will be most happy. read more

Heading home from our stay at Silver Lake sand dunes I came across this restaurant because it was close to the expressway and it had great reviews online. From the second we walked in the door we knew we picked the right place! We were promptly greeted and they had a decent amount of seating in there. We had a party of six and they were able to seat us right away. We very soon after had our beverages and after pondering the great options on the menu we had ordered our food. We ordered a couple of the breakfast sandwiches, side of pancake, biscuits and gravy, Irish skillet and the kids had pancakes with a side of sausage patties. When our food came they brought the kids' first and they were so excited to see the Mickey shaped ones on top with the chocolate chip eyes and nose. Such a cool surprise! All of us adults then got our food and we're shocked at how large the portion sizes were. Everything tasted amazing! We would definitely visit this place again and HIGHLY recommend it to others! The service is top notch! read more

Work day lunch. Number one, didn't make me feel weird for being by myself. Great start. Server explained the special well; she even detailed ingredients in the chicken salad. I chose a simple ham & cheese sandwich. While it's hard to mess that up, they went above & beyond. Great bread, 3 kinds of cheese and a good amount of ham. And only $5.95! Good variety for breakfast and lunch. read more

The breakfast is amazing! The food tastes fresh and the prices are reasonable. I love that they're offering carry out while flowing COVID-19 guidelines. read more

OMG! This place is so awesome! If you find yourself in Shelby you MUST go there! The best bread! The most bestest turkey rueben I've ever had! RUN THERE! read more

This place had amazing burgers. The meat was really lean and well seasoned. Their onion Tanglers (appetizer) were the best onion rings I've ever had. My son loved his French toast. My daughter didn't so much care for her grilled cheese sandwich. It has a friendly mom and pop atmosphere. None of the entrees were over 10.00 which we appreciated. The huge cinnamon roll was a huge hit with all of us as well. If we are ever in the area again, we will be back:) read more

We stopped in thinking it was a coffee house and turned out to be the cutest neighborhood diner! We sat down for coffee and were delighted when the owner brought out a cinnamon roll the size of our head! See photos. When we thought we were going to get a Starbucks-like in and out experience, we were instead given a homespun family feel that sweetened our journey for the rest of the day! Thank you Deb's! read more

Definitely a quality cafe in downtown Shelby about 15 minutes away from the Silver Lake Sand Dunes. Breakfast is their game and they score with every attempt! The classic skillet is larger than any one person should finish by themselves and is sure to keep you full till you get back off the dunes. Our server Erin kept the coffee topped off and made sure we had everything we needed to start the day off right. Will be back every time we are anywhere near Shelby! read more
