The wait staff is amazing and super friendly! Loving the new cook! She is a keeper! She can take customizations to an order without overdoing it! Finding out they have a drive-up window was a wonderful discovery! read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast on a late Sunday morning. The diner is pretty small but service was fast and friendly. They offer a combination of booths and tables, from 2 to 6 people. I ordered the Dig-in #3, which was a basic order of 2 eggs, toast, and meat. I went with bacon and added an extra egg. Over all the meal was decent but the bacon was a little undercooked for my liking. I would return again. read more

Dig-In Cafe - Breakfast with the family. Great food, super friendly staff. Love eating here. - American Near Me - Augusta, Michigan

Always good for breakfast. Service is always pleasant and speedy. Good place to catch up on the latest happenings.

Fantastic food, super friendly service. Definitely a nice spot to stop for breakfast or lunch.

Fantastic food, friendly service, great atmosphere, wonderful owners! It's our favorite breakfast place in the area!

We were camping in Fort Custer today and had our granddaughter. Thought we would try Dig In for breakfast. It looks nice on the inside and out. Server took our order in a timely manner and the food came fairly quickly except for mine. Waitress brought my wife's and granddaughter's, said she would be right back with mine. 5 minutes later a different waitress brought mine. We then hear our waitress thank the other one saying she had forgotten. My wife and granddaughter ordered a half order of biscuit and sausage gravy. Both of theirs were cold. The gravy was so thick it almost needed to be cut with a knife. My eggs were cold. I read reviews about how great the pancakes were so I got those too. They were just OK. Prices were a little on the high side too. $6 for a half order of cold biscuit and gravy! With the prices, cold food plus not that great tasting, we won't return. We will drive just a little bit further to Andreas in Galesburg. read more

Super greasy food. No vegetarian sandwiches or burgers except for the grilled cheese, so I ordered breakfast. It was a meal on the menu where you got 4 slices of french toast, eggs, and meat - but she let me substitute hash browns for the meat. The eggs were good and the french toast was okay, but the hash browns were undercooked and so greasy. Service was great, I liked our waitress. Another review mentioned that they had religious decor up, which I didn't notice but if I saw religious quotes in a restaurant, that's unprofessional and I would not go there again. read more

Small town diner with delicious food. Owned by a wonderful family and service is great. Down home food and feel. Reasonably priced, great menu selections read more

Our family loves Dig-In! Ordering is super easy with COVID and pickup through the drive thru is a great addition, especially if you have little ones. Oliver Burger is my husbands favorite. I live their Sloppy Dogs and the chicken tenders. My daughter loves their ranch and would drink it if we let her! Thanks Cindy and staff for providing a great local restaurant! read more

Its good home-style food. Went in for breakfast. There was only one waitress and she worked HARD. The place was full! Clearly the locals love the place. I love that the American fries are pan fried and not deep fried. They're done right. The childs breakfast a childs pancake - that was the size of the plate- and TWO links, so... you know... maybe for two kids - or three. A little overwhelming with the religious decor, but hey if thats your thing. read more

Since our default breakfast restaurant has been bought out and transformed into something perfectly dreadful, we have been scouring the landscape for someplace new. The Dig In Cafe is one of a four restaurants within a quarter mile of each other (five if one includes the Lickity Split, an ice cream shop open seasonally) in Augusta. (Not to denigrate Augusta, but I have always thought that the area was too economically depressed - with the closing of Hillside Orchards, the closing of Brook Lodge, the closing and then reopening of the Barn Theatre, and the sale of the Yarrow Resort to the public sector - to support that many downtown restaurants. And I don't know anything about the Blue Stem - which might make it six restaurants overall - perched so high overlooking the rustic farmlands near East Augusta Drive.) It is the only one of the four that is open for breakfast, and I suppose that this gives it an advantage since there is really no alternative nearby. We could only think of Arlene's Truck Stop to the east near the highway as the next closest. It is definitely the place for locals to hang out from 7 am onward. I can't ever recall seeing or reading any advertising in Kalamazoo about this restaurant. The restaurant is bright and clean, the service is attentive, and the decor is a mix of photos, a few coming from the actors from the nearby Barn Theatre. Unfortunately, the food is forgettable. Following my theory that any place that serves breakfast should be able to do it better than I can, this is a restaurant that doesn't. Never having worked in food service, I could still prepare a better breakfast than I received. Asking for soft poached eggs, we received hard. The breakfast potatoes, made of boiled quartered red potatoes, were not then cooked sufficiently long on the flat top to develop crunchy exteriors. The corned beef hash - and I know what good corned beef hash is and how to make it - came from Gordon Food Service. Those little teeny cubed potatoes, each no bigger than a BB, were the giveaway. The coffee was brown and hot but only aspired to taste like coffee. Nothing was seasoned. We assumed it was a mixture of inadequate ingredients and inadequate cooking. So this is not a destination restaurant. This is a restaurant whose customer base is locals with a few National Guard from the nearby base thrown in. I can't see going back since it doesn't offer me anything unique or special in the category of breakfast. But considering the volume of locals, I don't think the restaurant will miss our business in the least. read more

Dig-In Cafe - Locals love this restaurant, but I'm not a local. - American Near Me - Augusta, Michigan

First off, the ranch is absolutely amazing. Haven't had the chance to sit down and eat here because of COVID-19 but the food has been amazing. Tried calling in for a lunch order once and couldn't get through. Was completely surprised 5 minutes later when they called me back asking if I wanted to place an order. Always super nice when we've done drive thru. Heard the ribs and fish fry are good too. Can't wait to try. The chicken tenders and Oliver burger were really good. read more

This place is a nice little diner. I had the dig in burger which is a cheeseburger with 2 half pound parties. You better be hungry if you get this one. The staff is friendly and good was quick. Patrons were also pleasant. The only reason I gave a 4 was the burger was a bit overdone for my liking. The battered fries are also very good. read more

Dig-In Cafe - Dig in burger basket. - American Near Me - Augusta, Michigan

This place is a great spot for breakfast. Quick service, friendly staff. The food is very good and the menu is a lot bigger than I expected.

This is a middle of the road lunch experience, it advertised as farm to table... and that it delivered all fresh quality product served. But as anyone knows who reads my reviews I am particular and should be right? If you open a business accept money as trade for a product or service it means your a professional. Dont get me wrong this place had good service as a diner goes, let me sub a house salad verses fries at no-charge, but I get a traditional club sandwich using way to thick of a slice and not cut in quarters. Now for true Chef's or food aficionados to much bread against a meat or vegetable is a big thing. read more

The Dig in Cafe has an excellent breakfast menu and there Thursday and Friday night specials are a sure fire hit. Friday night smoked ribs are a must, I don't even like ribs but these smoked ribs are to die for, very meaty, lots of smoke flavor and a slightly spicy bbq sauce on the side. Definitely get the potato salad if it's offered!!! Get there early, they sell out fast!!! read more

Last time we stopped for breakfast we had tummy issues the rest of the day. Won't be rushing to return.

Just got home from Dig-In Cafe, went with my son and daughter-in-law. They split a big breakfast and had enough to take home for their lunch! I had a ham and cheese (real cheese) omelette, with onions, American fries and toast. It was delicious, and I have more than enough for my lunch! Friendly and fast service plus excellent food! They even give a Military discount! We're never disappointed when we eat there! read more

It was their "soft opening". The interior reminds me of an old school dinner, I was impressed. Very comfortable setting, however it was a little too bright. Ordered the Veggie Omelet. While waiting for my meal, I over heard employees in the kitchen arguing about something. I couldn't make out what it was. A bit unprofessional. So I received my breakfast, it was hot, and fresh. However, the whole meal was disappointing. The Hash browns, were under cooked and mushy. They were not even brown. The omelet Lacked any flavor. Very Bland Food, I mentioned this to the waitress. Who kindly offered to remake my meal, to which I Declined. She mentioned they "are still trying to find the proper seasoning, as many customers have different taste." Omelet's are not that difficult, which leads me to believe, perhaps they should taste their own food before they try selling it to paying customers. The waitress was very apologetic, and asked me to give them another chance. I will update my experiences, The next time I visit. Dig-IN CAFE appears to have very high potential, It is in a very prime location. With not much else to compete with, I foresee much success. If they get they're kitchen skills together that is. read more

Want good food? Stop by The Dig In! Can you eat alot and want good food? Get the Dig In Burger. I keep telling them they should make it free if you eat the whole thing, but in all honesty, I eat it all (well 90% of the time, they've bested me twice now - thank god for take home boxes), but I eat it all because it tastes so good, and it is so good that I am more than happy to pay for it, and the staff is so amazing and friendly. Even if you aren't local to Augusta, it is worth the drive! I think they make everything from scratch even! read more

It looks like there hasn't been a post about this place in sometime and a figured it deserves one. Now I can really only comment on breakfast but my wife had a a sandwich for lunch and was very happy. Since I am a breakfast guy I have got various breakfast options here and have not been disappointed yet. I recommend giving this place a shot at least for breakfast. read more

Wow what a hidden gem! Friday is rib night slow smoked and awesome! Also have used the owner (Cindy) for catering what a great lady that cooks great food. read more

Food is ok, but forget it if you have a complaint about anything. The owner comes out and sits beside you to tell you that you are completely mistaken. In my case the eggshells in my scrambled eggs were suppose to be crunchy eggs and if I didn't like it I could go someplace else. So I did. I will never go back there. Customer service is something that owner knows nothing about. read more

Our breakfast today was not pleasing.....firstly it was barely warm, except our eggs over easy that were hot as freshly cooked. The hash browns, ham and raisin bread was extremely dry as though they'd been lying on the grill for some time. The waitress was excellent....food not so much......will not be going back. read more

Slow & Rude, Terrible Food. Puts the GREASE into Greasy Spoon. Waited over 30 min. for our breakfast, which had clearly been done for a while and just sat in the window. (Fruit on side was hot.) The "pancakes" were a strange deep brown color but not whole wheat, oddly super-sweetened, and fully saturated with oil - it dripped out when pancake was lightly squeezed. Long waits for all customers with management not knowing who had and had not been helped, etc. Prices were in line with a nicer place, but the food and service stink. Plus, the floors are dirty. Never. Going. Back. read more

What a great family restaurant! Special attention was paid to every customer that we saw. The portions were generous, the prices were fair, and the food was delicious. That was the best burger and fries I've had in a long time. The Dig-In Cafe is a hidden treasure in Augusta, MI and worth the drive for good service and great food! read more

I had Dig-In cater a work event. The pulled pork was amazing! Everything was delivered right on time and the lady who delivered it and set up the food was super friendly (Kristin). I will use them again for sure! read more

I've eaten here maybe a dozen times and have always been pleased. l had the smoked ribs last Friday. The owner obviously knows what he is doing. The large serving of ribs had a nice smokey flavor and they were moist and tender enough to cut with a fork. Plenty of tangy BBQ sauce on the side, but I didn't want to mask the delicious smoked flavor. I was told that they also have smoked chicken on (some) Fridays, but they had sold out the night I was there. The Dig-In is a very nice, clean family restaurant with very friendly staff. read more

Love this place. Food is all home made from scratch handed down from several generations. It's like eating at home. The owners are always interacting w/ the customers. The all u can eat fish fries or burger nite are delish, but u may way a few but that's normal on all u can eat nite or burger and fries for a couple bucks. High recommend the place!!! read more

I found the Dig-In Cafe to be a very pleasant and friendly small town cafe. I had their large burger, fries and a tossed salad instead of the cole slaw and a diet coke. The burger was LARGE and excellent with the portions very generous. Service was timely, friendly and personable. The waitress even asked if we wanted to take our diet cokes with us and furnished portable cups when we said yes. I found this to be a great little home town cafe with a pleasant and friendly atmosphere and recommend it as such. read more

Had breakfast the portions were huge food was great and the staff is very friendly. Plan to go back each time I pass through town!!

Stopped on our way to a football game. The food was great and plentiful, the service was friendly and fast and the cafe felt like we stopped by a friend's house--kitschy and quirky. We will be back soon. read more
